What a thread that was - when I checked the last comment was actually C tic-tac-toe. I wanted to comment but I thought it was just too fitting it finished that way and I didnt want to mess it up....

RE: Prose not content
It's not really the storytelling that's the problem, it's an amusing read only to be disappointed by the WTF at the end.
IMHO, we have seen and commented on most of the small (snippet type) WTFs out there. Since some of the old classics like the pig and hotel system were based on entire applications - maybe that might be a new vein of material?

Prose not content
I hate to complain.... but, anyone feel like there is more creative writing than content on this site these days?
Surely there are plenty of real WTF's out there rather than resorting to urban myths?
We havent had a pig, hotel system or venerable Paula in ages .....

RE: Starting out, or trying to (advice?)
Hi there Coriolls,
You seemed a bit lost so i thought I would throw in my 2c.
1) Hacking PHP is not CS - theory is there for a reason, if you study up, it will all make sense as you go on.
2) You say yourself you lack work experience. IMHO it might be worth finding a non computer related day job to pay the bills and do your software work for free (it's what I did and it paid off for me).
Maybe pick a small open source project and offer to help out; even better try to find a mentor in the industry that will take you under their wing for the free labour.
3) In any position , more than 50% of your time will be spent interacting with people. If you find yourself a bit introverted, do your best to rise above it. People (whatever their personality) have oceans of knowledge to give you if you just ask.
It's tough when you are starting out, we have all been there so best of luck.

Then there are the people with Physics degrees just making you feel stupid.

My daily WTF about the daily WTF (or forums in general)
Hi all,
Seeing as we all like a good moan, here is a thread to get some of those irritations off our chests. I wouldn't be a member of TDWTF if I didn't think the articles are briliant, but, here are a few of my daily irritations:
1) First! (though I still chuckle a bit at Fist and derivations)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
2) The goggles zey do nothing (simpsons yes, yes - though that’s died off a bit now)<o:p></o:p>
3) The real WTF is ...<o:p></o:p>
4) I could not give one tiny damn what your CAPTCHA was, is or going to be (even if it's relevant)<o:p></o:p>
5) Grammar / Spell checker police (I really can't spell)<o:p></o:p>
6) The requirement for sarcasm notation<o:p></o:p>
7) Those needlessly arrogant posts. Just make your point; we all know you are very clever.<o:p></o:p>
8) Yes, the new name, I hate the new name, it's just stupid. To echo others - every time I open the site I say worse than failure WTF?<o:p></o:p>
So, hey, this is what annoys me - just venting. I am sure others can add plenty more.<o:p></o:p>
Sincerely

RE: Some people are really egotistical
I had never considered how much that "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" thing must have annoyed his bank etc. .... or did they just use "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince".....
