@Zerosquare My first thought was more along the lines of "do I look like someone willing to work with SAP," but that, too.
Yeah, I'm not enough of a SAP to work with Accenture either
Refreshing makes the warnings appear and disappear. Maybe part of Google's internal content caching network got disconnected from the URL scanning service and choose to fail in a CYA mode?
@Spectre said:WTH is "Klaar"? @XIU said:Dutch for finished, and it could be that it's using a CMS that is RC stage... Or for "ready" or "done", which is precisely what it would have read if I used a English version of firefox and I didn't cut the lower bar.
@dtech said:@Welbog said:Your unhelpfulness is almost palpable.
Sorry 'bout that. In Dutch it isn't used much either. In fact, in ABN (altough you "shouldn't be using it" nowadays anymore since you would imply other forms of dutch aren't civilized) it doesn't even exists.
It's used in some of the more rural districts, and then it's something like "ut" which would sound like /ʌt/ or the 'u' from 'uhuh' very short followed by a regular t.
I imagined it being the 'it' like you hear it from filmish farmers: " 'T w'll prob'bly be rainy tod'y me good neber Bob"

Well...even if sign is real, it's not that unreasonable. If your bin is stolen you can't throw out any rubbish - the council will like to fine you and such nasty stuff if you put out bags, and won't accept 'the bin was stolen' as a reason. And if you can't throw out any rubbish, you can't do business.But yeah, probably a lie anyway - perhaps one intended to distract a potential thief for long enough to CCTV them - the camera of course being what's REALLY fitted to the bin!
Heh, heh, I got your precious codes!!!Interestingly (or not interestingly) enough, the inner frame has a different <title> from the parent frame.Going to the root directory reveals that the site is down for maintenance. A "view info" on the subsequent inner frame file reveals that it was modified at 9:01 pm this evening, about two hours before I'm posting this. Hopefully when they bring it back up, it will be sane.
@tster said:THe problem is that if you had signs only in English then you would be making signs that 80% of the people in your country could not read. Not exactly the best way to keep the roads safe.You do realise that Welsh has been a minority language in the United Kingdom for over a thousand years, don't you?

Prevention Bot, you're wanted in this thread.
Wow, I'm wanted - that's a change. Is she hot? Who said it was a she?

So, went to the site and clicked on those hyperlink looking things labeld "Property Crime" and "Violent Crime," and what do you think it gave me? Yup, a picture of the house. Naturally.
Not that funny, but your post reminded me of a user experience I had many years ago. It was a 911 dispatching system, so used 24x7x365 and folks were logging into the system at shift change which, depending on the agency, could be all hours of the day. The system was programmed with snarky messages, which most people seemed to enjoy. For example, if you logged in at 3am, it would say "What in the world are you doing here at this hour?"
So I had a few slow days and thought that putting a fortune cookie app into the logins would also amuse folks. I know, I know, fortune cookie apps are stupid, but that actually wasn't the problem I had with it. Nope.
The problem was that there were actually folks out there who thought that I (the invisibile computer programmer) was sitting by just *waiting* for people to log on so I could type the cutesy message at them. The folks who yelled "don't you people have better things to do with your time?" ruined it for the people who actually did like the fortunes and I had to remove the app.
Spectre has it right. Google "Windows XP" product key changer or something similar, put in the new key, then do it again. Or, you can do a repair install - that will prompt you for the key and (shouldn't) damage/wipe anything

@morbiuswilters said:It seems you are implying that Matt Damon is.. intelligent?
Ever since I saw "Team America", whenever Matt Damon opens his mouth, I expect him to say his name in a whiny and childish voice.
But instead, he says something neither as amusing nor as intelligent.
@Nether said:Obviously your server doesn't contain enough chronobytes to store a whole year of time.
But what seems missing here is that you imply that your company only keeps critical accounting data on backup for a month. Assuming that older accounting tables are not deleted and continue to be backed up, that shouldn't be a major concern.
According to this report there is a hot dog "sale" at Wal-Mart where the 2/5.00 deal costs more than purchasing a single pack at $2.44In digg style (since that's where I saw this) I say "Nothing to see here move along...."
@Spectre said:@lizardfoot said:How are they going to get "teh codez" without being able to search on Google? Do they actually use it? I thought they go straight to Java forums.
That's what I thought too. Their "profs" (they don't seem to have teachers) gives them a doubt (they do seem to question everything over there) and tells them to go to the Sun forums (or some other sites) to sol prob.
@bstorer said:Oh, no. Not another one. I've seen the shoe store one a few times, and each time it makes me long for death. Not my own, of course.I actually liked the shoe store commercial. Especially seeing Bill shake his stuff (in HD no less). The fact that everybody hated it pretty much makes it awesome.
I am locking this thread since the original discussion is a month old and the recent posts haven't done anything to warrant a resurrection of the topic.
Why not? PM me with your email address and I'll send you the lot. But be advised that I never actually bothered handing it in in the end, so I can't vouch for its usefulness or quality.EDIT: And I really shouldn't be surprised that Community Server's tag system can't tell the difference between a comma and a semi-colon, should I?
The typo in the title is intended, ;). So I'm browsing a thread on one of my regular forums, and one of the posters in the thread has an image hosted on his website. The WTF here is that his webhost (also posted in the thread) is performing "MAINTAINANCE". Double wtf, because not only can he not spell, but everybody is greeted with a lovely popup window for every image loaded from that website. (It's fixed now because someone told him it was annoying).
