It isn't too surprising that the awards guidelines for new software are somewhat lax, but this is pretty funny.

Quote:
I put out a new product a couple of weeks ago. This new product has so far won 16 different awards and recommendations from software download sites. Some of them even emailed me messages of encouragement such as "Great job, we're really impressed!". I should be delighted at this recognition of the quality of my software, except that the "software" doesn't even run. This is hardly surprising when you consider that it is just a text file with the words "this program does nothing at all" repeated a few times and then renamed as an .exe. The PAD file that described the software contains the description "This program does nothing at all". The screenshot I submitted (below) was similarly blunt and to the point:

Even the name of the software, "awardmestars", was a bit of a giveaway. And yet it still won 16 "awards".
Hey, I wish Microsoft would be as honest.

Heh, it's funny because it's fake, however, effeciency in code is so lost, and visual studio is so easy to use that it's almost to the point that anybody can step up and code. There was a time when people like Peter Norton made it a point to try and institute programming standards, so that we wouldn't wind up with all this bloated code in non-standard languages.

Ok, I am done ranting now.
