A Comic Strip - by Warik

[Warik]

There is this guy in my Advanced Windows Programming class.

He asks questions.

Lots of questions.

In fact, a great excess of questions.

Considering the fact that "Advanced Windows Programming" is a 4000-level course having 3 other programming classes as prerequisites, some of these questions are VERY STUPID QUESTIONS.

This is the result of my listening to 5 of these questions yesterday.

so it sounds like you;re having fun then

i;d keep those drawings to yourself incase they section you.

 

[WODIN]

So are you starting a web site of these fine cartoons of yours?

 

[the nature boy]

ditch the IT stuff and go to art school.

 

[HighIntensity]

your a Renaissance Man

Today is "midterm review day." That means I will be hearing TONS of stupid questions - probably by the same person who will hijack the class for his own diabolical purposes of stupid question-asking. God help me.

is he really stupid or
is he doing this shit on purpose???

i had one like that in org chem...
he liked to ask stupid questions
even though he knew the answers...
he felt that it helped him bond with
the professor...

we kept newspapers...
asshole would ask a question,at
least 10-15 of us would whip out
the paper...

freaked him and the teacher out

wrik you fascinate me

 

[Frackal]

Take him to the bathroom and assfuck 'im wairk. that'll teach him.

this is known as the "supersizeme technique".

HE'S REALLY STUPID!

I even took notes today on my laptop of all the stupid questions he asked. I made a text file called "stupid questions asked today by the dork in the front row.txt" and started editing it whenever he asked a question. The two people sitting next to me almost lost it laughing.

Here are 5 of the good ones... I've put comments in bold specifying why these are stupid questions for someone in a 4000 level computer programming class to be asking just in case one or more of you don't happen to be skilled in computer programming (hehehe).

1) My dialog class disappeared from the ClassView! Why???
Hello dumbass... you probably removed the dialog class's source file from your workspace, or you deleted the class yourself... things don't disappear for no reason.

Teacher's response: "Did you try calling the VC++.reinstall() function?"
Guy: "... no... how do I do that?"
There is no such thing as a VC++.reinstall() function, and a 4000 level programming student should know this, because the rest of the students almost fell out of their chairs laughing after they heard the guy ask how to do it.

2) Is "no-op" in the book?
"No-op" just means "don't do anything." This concept was covered in Fundamentals of Computer Systems and Structured Computer Organization. The teacher himself even said 2 seconds before that "no-op" didn't do anything. Dumbass!

3) When we do SetScrollSizes, do we specify a mapping mode?
The tutorial assignment the teacher asked us to do 2 weeks ago used SetScrollSizes, and we specified a mapping mode. The assignment that was due today used SetScrollSizes, and we used a mapping mode. Additionally, the text the professor had on the screen that triggered this question blatantly showed that "a mapping mode" was one of the parameters that you had to specify. This goes beyond stupid.

4) Is SetWindowExt and SetViewportExt going to be on the test?
The teacher gave us a review sheet. He had it displayed on the projector. He went through the entire thing in class today. SetWindowExt and SetViewportExt were the last things he mentioned. OBVIOUSLY IT'S ON THE TEST IF THE TEACHER HAS IT ON THE REVIEW SHEET AND HE TALKED ABOUT IT TWICE!

5) What happens if you map 1000 logical units to 1000 device units?
The SetWindowExt and SetViewportExt functions work as sort of a scaling mechanism. Basically you specify a range for one and a range for the other and it scales the two. Like saying: "100 logical units = 1 device unit" or whatever other combination. So... what this guy was asking was: "what happens if you set a scale factor of 1?" Uhhh, the shit stays the same size maybe? You fucking dork. Go back to Programming I... I paid for this class and you are wasting my time.

argh

Tuesday is the midterm. The teacher will have our assignments and midterms back to us by Thursday... I absolutely DREAD the questions that will be asked after this guy sees how badly he did on both.

Seems like there's one in every class.
