  TRWTF may be using a tool like Wolfram Alpha for something that a simple calculator can handle. Alpha is clearly too complicated for its own good.

  I saw similarly brain-dead code with the modem/router that Comcast (briefly) leased me. You could configure the Wi-Fi parameters exactly once. After that, every attempt to change something would fail with a bogus error complaining that your WPA2 passphrase (which wasn't even changed) was invalid somehow. In order to change the Wi-Fi parameters a second time, you would have to reset the entire Wi-Fi configuration - then you could change the parameters once (better get them all right before you click the OK button) without another reset. http://forums.comcast.com/t5/Home-Networking-Router-WiFi/8-63-ASCII-Character-Error-on-Wifi-Password/td-p/2099364 Clearly a case of brain-dead JavaScript. Inexcusable that this should exist in a commercial product and have been shipped to customers for over four months without any fix.

  Interesting, I thought about making a browser plugin (since that's the only way to find out what games a user has installed, because natch that isn't in the API even when you're authed by that user), but scrapped the idea pretty early on. Not least because writing browser plugins is a bitch and a half, especially if you want to support more than one browser, double-especially if you want to support IE.

  This sounds familiar... Side point, from the thread I linked is a link to an earlier report of the same bug where it was closed as "FIXED" two months ago (Jun 19).

  Reminds me of a project I did in high school. I had a program loop through my mp3 folder, get a distinct list of band names, order them, and create an HTML page that linked to http://[bandname].com No one noticed the one link for a band that had a pretty famous cover of Blue Monday...

  Oh, yes, pedantic dickweedery is part of being what I think makes a good programmer with all that attention to detail, but there's pedantry and there's pedantry.
