Breaking News: Romney's code leaked!...

[Locut0s]

A friend of a friend of mine managed to get this too me. Apparently leaked by some whistle blower at the top secret government facilities where Romney was programmed. This is a small excerpt of the actual code Romney is running!!

public class Romney{

private candidate obama = new Candidate();
private candidate romney = new Candidate();
private opinion romneyOpinion;
private boolean runningForOffice = true;

public static void main(string[] args){

while(runningForOffice){

attack(obama);

if(Polling.poll(obama) == Polling.poll(romney))
attack(obama);

else if(Polling.poll(obama) >= Polling.poll(romney))
romneyOpinion = obama.getOpinion();

else if(Polling.poll(obama) <= Polling.poll(romney))
romneyOpinion = Republican.getRandomTalkingPoint();


}

}
}

1. Well, there's his bug -- modern software doesn't use 'poll' anymore

It's all about asynchronous I/O nowadays.

11. Romney's not programmed in modern software

He is programmed in PL/I and he's proud of that fact.

If you were to remove Romney's cover plate I'm sure you'd find at least a small handful of vacuum tubes in there.

2. With definitely a few NOOPS sprinkled in with a few endless LOOPS! For us, LOL, I would hope

there's some PANIC code.

3. Very revealing -- and I thought he was programmed in COBOL

Maybe a couple more lines of code are missing from the actual program:

if (boolOddEven = true)
{
boolDddEven = false;
Romney_Flip("lie goes here&quot ;
}
else
{
boolOddEven = true;
Romney_Flop("clarification or walkback or both goes here&quot ;
}

4. Thanks. I'm sure much more code will surface over time ;)

8. oh yes COBOL

05 Romneys head pic99 value spaces...

[Jessy169]

10. That would cause a S0C7 ABEND!

Exactly what we're seeing from Romney, from all appearances. His whole campaign is in the middle of a friggen core dump!

5. lol

Someone had too much of this language to drink.

6. Can somebody translate this into Basic?

[longship]

7. I give this code a C--

9. Definitely not C++ LOL n/t
