but seven fucking thousand (7,000) database queries
So that is how you pronounce the comma in numbers.

Why no LANGUAGE_INDIAN then?
#define BIG_INDIAN 4
#define LITTLE_INDIAN 5

Yep, a 'Byte' is simply the smallest addressable unit of memory, if I recall correctly, there even was a system that could vary from 5-12 bits in a byte, depending on configuration options...
It would have been interesting if recent computers had moved to 32 bit bytes, as a bridge to 64 bit, there is little modern useful data that fits in 8 bits anyway, 32 bits for an RGBA color, 32 bits for a full unicode char, etc. you could store 4x as much data, while still using 32 bit addressing, which also means that pointers would be one 'byte' as well.
While the rest is bitching you for using 32 bits to store a character (Unicode is limited to 31 bits, by the way, and at the moment uses 21, I think), they seem to feel rather hot about that, I'd like to point out that in modern architectures a pointer would be two bytes...
And that 4 chars definitely do not have to take up 128 bits, unless you're doing something wrong.
google fails miserably at recognizing the typo and translates "Flensburg" in this case with "Dover". WTF?
At least it's not Java's Date, DateTime, Time or Calendar object...
That was the whole idea, wasn't it? To enable people to search and avoid undesirable results. Now you get pictures of sharks, not even toting lasers, and as an added bonus "great breasts" does show NSFW content.
In the localized version (google.nl), they also remove "tieten" (literal translation of "tits"), but if you search for "grote memmen" you do get results, and if you search for "great tits" or "tetas gordas", they remove it. So there is one big list of blocked words?
This is worthy of a WTF.
I've only seen Swype. I hate autocorrect. I didn't spend half my life doing NLP to get my text garbled by a bit of code that was state of the art in 1979. But since even the Highest Council of Pedantic Dickweedery seems positive, I'll give Swype a try.
I remember helping someone with a bizarre regexp in PHP that required 13 backslashes in the end.
This is turning very quickly into a forum where 5 people are bitching about the forum, and the rest doesn't have a clue what it's about, while the OP gets buried. What a refreshing way to kill a forum.
Master troll trolls Instagram.
While Pearson is definitely a WTF, I'm not sure they could have gotten their way without a bribe here and there. Either that, or incompetence abounds.
Because to everybody except coders, OR === XOR.
It's pathetic. It's almost as if someone just wants to make money out of it and doesn't care about the effects or the results. It's almost as if you live in Western Europe's most corrupt country.
here's what you guys did to our mailing list: http://imgur.com/EDRQhjx

Now there's TRWTF.

Aaah. See, it says if you hold your mouse over the link button: Hyperlink <a>. So I just added that plus an href, and it formatted nicely in the preview window, which made me think it had recognized the link. Well, did it ever. So here's the link: http://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/36300/how-can-i-make-this-mess-of-java-for-loops-faster
Mmm, got it to work in the above post. Should have checked.
I thought this was hilarious: How can I make this mess of Java for-loops faster? The top answer is, erm, weird, and the second answer, with most votes indeed, generates all permutations of the input string, which is of course a rather high number if the string is long.
Ah, Swype. The less software is intelligently aiding me, the better.
until tomorrow...
