Determining whether a date is in December
-
Shouldn't be that tricky, but perusing this very site for posts that I'd missed during the Christmas break, I found:
January 1st is included in the December archives. Bug or feature?
-
Feature!
It gives you a preview of what's to come next year. ...Except that it's already there.
-
Could be a time zone issue — the timestamp getting translated into your time zone (GMT, by your profile) in one place but not in the other.
It's included in both December and January archives for me.
-
Maybe just because there are comments from January?
-
The previous article, "Classic WTF: The Harbinger of the Epoch", has comments from both December and January, but only appears in the December archives.
-
Nope. though it is an interesting bug.
-
Wait.
That's IE6.
Why?
-
IE 6 with Pfizer branding, no less.
-
The interesting thing about this WTF is the article's content: it's about a calendar bug, much like the one the Zune tripped on Dec 31, 2008. Hmm... coincidence?

Lower if he works for Pfizer, but still up there.I'm confused. How is this a WTF? My computer at work still uses IE6 because there are internal sites that only work with IE6.

I bet they paid a lot of money for those internal sites too. My employer certainly did.
-
tstr wins. I am indeed forced to use IE6 because the key internal WTFy web app that I use all day has only been "validated" for use with IE6. The web app is basically just a GUI for launching batch jobs. Apparently if I were to use IE7 or Firefox to launch a batch job, it might produce different results.
The irony is that the web app only barely works in IE6. I regularly get trapped in multiply-nested frames, sometimes the browsing history gets deleted to that the Back button stops working, etc. It's great.

If these sites only work with IE6, then they are probably a WTF as well. Pls post teh codez.
