The REAL Real WTF is that they're probably not using salted password hashing. I say probably because while they could re-hash the new password using each existing hash, anyone who would go to that much trouble would no doubt remember why they used salts in the first place...

The real WTF is a block of lisp code that uses not one but TWO while loops

RE: The Godfather of Webdesign
Wait, so the WTF isn't that the entire site is nothing but a flash movie?
Just because everyone does it doesn't mean it can't be a bad idea; after all, 90% of computers ship with Windows...

You could always re-enable SafeSearch if it offends you - it won't show up then.
But then my image searches won't be nearly as amusing!

Unexpected Google Products result
Several months ago Google introduced a feature that automatically searches for words that are similar to but not spelled identical to the words in your query. While it saves a lot of time with words that have multiple spellings, different conjugations/tenses and compound words that can be spelled with or without a space or hyphen, it has an annoying tendency to decompose unquoted product names into smaller common nouns and add lots of bogus results.
Finding gay porn instead of electrical connectors is a new low however:

Gotta give them credit for originality. At least it's not yet another "PHP warning: Mysql connect failed"

RE: Yet another clbuttic mistake prevents verizon subscription
Verizon wireless doesn't let you use any feature on your phone until they can find a way to make money in the process, Verizon branded routers only allow a few internal IP addresse even when the underlying hardware and software support more, and Verizon DSL tries to tell you that your name is a swear. Everything Ihear about that company seems to imply it's run by a bunch of greedy assholes.

Intellectual property is property. I cannot understand why people think tacking "intellectual" on the front changes the meaning or makes it less credible. And when it comes to intellectual property, duplication without the consent of the creator is the same thing as theft. You're not even debating piracy, you're just trying to obscure your theft with synonyms.
Fine. Duplicating the property of others. But there's still a big difference betwene copying and stealing. If I build a car identical to yours, I haven't stole anything. You still have a fucking car.

The i-beam: sequel to the wooden table
Take a look at "Figure 1" on this page. Another example of someone who doesn't understand the relationship between Microsoft Word and web pages.

Even using elseifs would make it look much better
As an immediate fix, I agree that ElseIf would've cleaned this up. I'm sure there's something else that can be done, though, but I can't think of it at the moment.
If the language has a map data structure and first-class functions (or at least function pointers or Java's anonymous classes), you can use a dispatch table.
