Fortunately, every vote is on paper... somewhere. So theoretically nothing is lost. But depending on the results, an election will be repeated or not. If a current goverment loses, then election are likely to be repeated. This is how it works nowadays. The most tragic part is that people vote on them anyway.

Why do you complain? It doesn't use goto statements to leave the inner nested for loop, does it?
I know people who'd call that Clean Code, and who won't understand why it so hard to write Unit Tests for such great functions.
That's the consequence when code is more valued than concepts .

1. Because the app doesn't work and we don't have elections results.
2. Several hundreds of thousands institutions rely on it.
3. This is a freakin country-wide vote counting system, not a simple inside-app which can break and it isn't a big deal.

According to this[^], it was decompiled rather than released as open-source. It's still crap, but at least it's not crap that the public were supposed to see.

This is true. BTW, people who manage elections have their positions for years. They began their "carreers" in communizm, when they were simply told what results are and it wasn't necessary to count votes. Now, since 25 years we have democracy and it seems that they still didn't get used to a new system. I bet most of them don't know how to receive an e-mail, not talking about testing a computer program.

Notwithstanding tools like .NET Reflector can revert C# apps back to original code as well. They'll have to run ngen to hide anything.
Presumably the "winner" had more important matters to deal with, so they gave them the PDB so they could debug anything that went wrong.

I noticed the error messages are some weird moon man language.
Wow, that is messed up.

I can see that election is a tough process. It is tougher after voting.

Let's give the author a break, shall we: I am almost certain, given the code style, the author learned C# programming here on CP by using QA !
«If you search in Google for 'no-one ever got fired for buying IBM:' the top-hit is the Wikipedia article on 'Fear, uncertainty and doubt'» What does that tell you about sanity in these times?

Google/gmail recently sent me a message on my gtalk saying that it is no longer supported and that I should try hangouts. Now, I've been trying hangouts and although it seems trendy and all, I just can't seem to wean myself off gtalk.
Infact I noticed that gtalk is still in beta, which means I've been using it all this while in beta, and it's going out of support without having officially been "released"? This is funny and sad, if it works why fix it? Does this remind you of the murder of Windows XP by MS?

Wrong forum.
"a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices ... code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrasing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it"

Maybe it's weird that anyone used it?

I never used GTalk much, and don't use Hangouts much, so I've hardly noticed a difference when I do. Skype hasn't changed in yonks, and that's my main 'chat' line.

..but do I read it correctly that you are still supporting all of your software that has not "broken"?

Hangouts is the release version of Google Talk - renamed and 2.0.
That's all.

The next big thing will be drag n drop language. You build the language using old flowchart symbols that you build your skeliton with then just add the properties. Nice and simple ...

You should check out the macro editor for Project Spark (Xbox game) - it is exactly what you describe.
