OK, I officially hate it.

In this crap codebase, people used a bunch of hungarian notation, then 
changed types around without fixing all the names.

So we have bunches of declarations like
   char * ulXYZ;
   unsigned char ulPDQ;
   long* pszABC;

Gah. It's worse than useless noise. It's useless wrong noise, that even 
makes the useful noise suspect enough to be useless.

If your IDE isn't good enough to tell you the type of the variable, it's not 
good enough to help you rename it when you change the type.

I think the same goes for putting "m" or "g" or whatever in for member or 
global variables, etc.
