Hey Alex...
On every "reply" button, on mouseover it breaks. It fixes when you mouse out, but it's not showing an image on mouseover like it did.
Several of the images to specify no/some new posts are broken, too; for the forums and for individual posts. Just thought you might want to know.

It's Broken!

RE: The redneck knows about us...
Hey, people hate Microsoft, and bash them on a second by second basis, but at least they try to figure out why they are hated and fix it. For example, the improved standards support in IE 6.05 (on Longhorn) and the recent infestation of security into Windows and Windows related products. Instead of not taking this seriously, why don't they try to figure out what they can do better to bring developers to them, instead of driving them away. No Microsoft employee goes around laughing at others' commentary on them; they try to figure out what they are doing wrong and fix it.
Another reason I hate Oracle. -
RE: It's Broken!
and no... i'm not using firefox. Forgot to mention that. Good ol' IE6.05

RE: Logo Ideas
I like that. Overdone, but who gives a damn? WTF's are overdone, but
people still manage to do those. (hmm... maybe some symbolism in the
logo??[:O])
Sidenote: Alex, this board is not the greatest thing ever invented.

RE: America vs Europe
First off, CPound is by far my favorite person on this board.
Second off... the U.S. is not a democracy. Everyone must understand
that. Democracies do not work; much like socialist, communist, and
fascist societies. The U.S. is a representative republic. You will lose
the argument if you try to argue against it. The government here is
cross between a democracy and a republic. That's the only kind of
society that will maintain itself. Every world power is a
representative republic (or slight variation of). Monarchies are
failures (look at the Queen of England, King of Spain, every dicatator).
The world has to face it. Capitalism and our brand of democracy are the
only way to fly if you want to be more than a speck of a country that
much of the modern world does not bat an eyelash at.
Maybe parts of the world look on your society as improper and absurd,
much like you look on the U.S.'s society. This is how we live because
we can. We are a rich and prosperous nation. We like things big: cars,
meals, dreams. And so what, what has come from our large appetites? Our
big cars? Our big dreams? The best chef in the world, some of the most
powerful cars, the micronization of computers. We've become a world
power using the tools and foundations that our forefathers placed
before us. I agree with CPound when he says that the rest of the world
is jealous. Your societies force you to eat little and keep your ass in
line. Germany alone is communistic when it comes to owning weapons. You
can't be scared of what might happen in the future.
(This next part is pretty much intended for Americans, but foreigners to the States can listen in)
What if we had not helped stop Hitler or Kaiser Wilhelm? Or how about
King George? Why would you deny another country the same freedom that
we have experienced over the past 238 years? Saddam Hussein reigned in
the same fashion that Hitler did. He needed to be brought down. The
rest of the world just does not have the testical fortitude that is
needed to actually make a change upon the face of the earth.
We have liberated two countries of tyranny and oppression of what we
once were. Elections have taken place in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
So, I pose this question Katja and others: What would you do if you
were suddenly forced to wear a veil and stay at home your entire life
and be a slave? What if you were scared of your leader because he might
have your entire family slaughtered in an instant? You would call upon
the United States... again.
Be harsh upon the United States if you want, but at least use some facts to back up things that are actually hurting somebody. -
RE: Re: Man Oh Man
I don't know if anyone else noticed that none of the other posts in
this forum aren't tech related. That's why it's the "side bar WTF"
forum.
Don't watch the video if you don't want to. If Alex says it stops, then it stops; otherwise, just keep your anger to yourself. -
RE: Moved: Offtopic Discussion w/Katja
People complain about how "big companies can influence a reporter" and
how that is not freedom. If you don't feel right asking for a refill
(or getting one) because you don't want the general population to look
at you like you're a jackass, then that is a WTF and a lack of freedom.
At least in America you can gorge yourself or not and nobody else will
care.
And about this whole homophobic attitude that the world sees in
America... well, I'm very stuck in my ways. One of those ways is that a
man belongs with a woman, it's the way it was intended. That's why two
men (or women) can't make a child. If it makes you happy, by all means,
go right ahead - but just know that it's not constructive to the human
race.
I remember when being stuck in your ways and being headstrong was shown
as a sign of strength. Now, it's viewed upon as a weakness.
I do agree with the bullseye idea. America has become a target for people that actually do hate America for a reason and for people that hate America because they can make a quick buck off of it.
I speak english very well. I use proper english, I never finish a
sentence in a preposition (or at least, I try my hardest). Saying that
foreigners speak better english than Americans because they aren't
taught slang is nothing special. I speak better german than most
Germans, because I was taught the proper German and not slang or a
certain dialect.
As for the president, well... I'd rather have a president that stumbles
over his words and takes action on things that need action rather than
one that speaks articulate and does absolutely nothing (which I feel
that Kerry would've done).
I think that's about it.
Oh yeah! Italia has the best food and cars. Ferrari slaughters any
American car company (or any other car company for that matter). -
RE: America vs Europe
I love eating. I've had meals where I have a glass of wine without
downing the whole bottle (or anymore than just a glass for that
matter). I'm a lover of fine liquers (not liquor, there is a
difference) and I especially love food. I'm not fat in the least. I
actually get off my ass and work that food off, unlike most Americans. -
RE: The "Official" "Pronounce That" Thread
Isn't Schlotzsky's the crappy sandwish place and Quizno's (kind of a
WTF name) the toasted sub place? Or does Schlotzsky's sell toasted subs
now, too?
Speaking of which, I'm going to Quizno's tomorrow for lunch. -
RE: The real WTF
It's because Google Ads just grep (for lack of a better term) the
webpage to find some words, then goes off of them to create the ads.
Since the word "Oracle" is plastered across this particular forum, then
it serves up some Oracle ads. I wish you could disallow certain Google
Ads when you put those up on your site.
Provided "as is". -
RE: Suggestions...
Speaking of editing... I'm not allowed to do it. It says in the
lower-right of the board that "[I] CAN edit my posts", but yet, I see
no link or button of anything kind remotely related to editingĀ
posts. Sigh. The forum fits the sites idea; hands-down. -
RE: Thanks for the refund
You can't do anyhting with a check number. He blurred out the account
number and routing numbers; no check number. A check number is just a
useless tracking number for the check. He covered himelf. -
RE: Decade-old WTF
You also have to remember that some programming languages don't throw
exceptions when something is wrong. They just silently ignore the
explosion that's happening and go about there business. I've restarted
my fair share of computers because of infinite loops caused by
programming such as this. -
RE: Thanks for the refund
You're in the money! You're in the money!
Remember: it's like the more money you come across, the more problems
you see. Share it with charity or else you will become greedy.
