How to Write Comments
/*
This is my comment. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My comment is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My comment, without me, is useless. Without my comment, I am useless. I must author my comment true. I must write clearer than my code which is trying to obfuscate my efforts. I must comment in before it gets me fired. I WILL...
My comment and myself know that what counts in this job is not the lines we write, the size of our file, nor the time to compile it. We know that it is the completed change requests that count. WE WILL COMPLETE...
My comment is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its words, its letters, its punctuation and its opening & closing tags. I will ever guard it against the ravages of re-edits and cruft as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my comment clean and ready. We will become part of each other. WE WILL...
Before God, I swear this creed. My comment and myself are the defenders of my department. We are the masters of our code. WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF MY LIFE.
So be it, until the beta goes gold and there are no further patch requests, but sales!

Good afternoon James,
I'm most sorry for any confusion I may have caused you with my previous e-mail. I beg your pardon if I have caused you any concern.I have never thought you were a Nigerian or that you were proposing anything other than a legitement business transaction. Please allow me a moment to try to explain what I ment when I mentioned Nigeria.
Today in my circle of friends I have heard many things about online scams and especially about the underhanded scammers from Nigeria. Thepart I hear over and over again is how they somehow use bank-2-bank transfers to steal large sums of money from people.
Since then I have made it a practice to NOT do first time banking online or remotely. As I also stated my wife and I are VERY EXCITED about traveling to Spain. Although my father has traveled many times to Dubai while he was working as chief mate on a oil Super Tanker. He tells me it is a very nice place to visit. I will talk to my wife about this, but I feel she has her heart set on visiting Spain.
Again, I am sorry about any confusion in my earlier e-mail. I am quite serious about helping you and I am most willing to travel to Spain to complete our buisness.
Best wishes,
Emmett

Good morning Marcus,
I'm glad to see that everything is proceeding smoothly. As Imentioned, I get to use the office phone for unlimited personal callsso I don't have a personal phone. During the remodeling of our officethe lines used for our phones have been cut or rerouted so that ourphones aren't currenlty working. The FAX for some strange reason isstill working. The FAX number is (214) 821-0189. Of course you canalways contact me via e-mail. I check this account constantly.
Please keep me up to date on the travel arrangements as I will need tocooridnate this trip with my job. The time off shouldn't be a problemas I have quite a bit of time saved for vacation, but I am planning totake two weeks off for our new baby.
Will this buisness be profitable for the both of us? Marcus, let metell you that I wouldn't be talking with you if I thought differently.I look forward to meeting you and touring the Netherlands. Did youknow that Amsterdam has the ONLY port in the world where the Super oilTankers are able to dock?
Give my best to your family.
