Really Cisco? Automatic Emoticons?
-
This has probably been going on for a while, but why would Cisco, a company that makes (amongst other things) dedicated Enterprise high-performance/high price equipment enable automatic smilies on their support forums.
I'm sure this guy loves having an error report filled with smilies: http://developer.cisco.com/web/tapi/forums/-/message_boards/message/6293314?p_p_auth=39CAzELf
Thanks for putting PacMan in that XML: http://developer.cisco.com/web/curri/forums/-/message_boards/message/6340636?p_p_auth=LC4EEi3U
It's so unprofessional.

Yes, that is pretty idiotic. However, it does go to demonstrate that manufacturing "dedicated Enterprise high-performance/high price equipment" doesn't make an organization immune from stupidity. In fact, the opposite may be true.

It's Liferay. Disabling automatic emoticons probably never occurred to the people who made that monstrosity. They're the people that build entire pages out of JS rather than, oh I don't know... HTML?
More interesting, view source on the page. Apart from the fact that the entire page is spat out on one line (and it's not for minification either - every slash and colon in the link tags of the <head> is html-encoded unnecessarily), it also addresses every <link> tag at http://localhost. I'm not sure if that frightens me more, or the presence of "/html/jsp/everything.jsp".

As far as i see, there is a button to paste code, so that it preserve layout, number the line and has a fixed width font. I assume users are dumb enough no to use it or re-read their message before publishing it?

Come on, the didn't even bother to change Liferay's favicon for their own and you're asking them to disable emoticos: http://developer.cisco.com/cisco2-theme/images/favicon.ico

I've never seen anyone who likes automatic emoticons.

Anyone know what the <!-- Degregated --> comment does?
I mean, obviously, aside from removing greg.

It's like, first it was segregated, but then it got integrated, but then they decided to undo the integration, so now its' degregated?
