Is that really suspect? One comment (in two places) saying not to use some function beyond 1960 because it will give divergent results?

The author of the post says something like, "see, these programmer people leave comments in code to remind themselves later of what they really mean the code does. Armed with this knowledge, we can read some comments and find out what's really going on!"

No, dude, I'm a programmer and you can't just take random chunks of comments from code and authoritatively state what you think they mean.

It's also hard to take seriously a blog plastered with ads for $49 "Make-your-own-free-energy"-kits. The comments are a freak show of conspiracy theorists.




Well, the ad is via Google Adsense. Blame them. :)
