I don't get it...where's the WTF?? Just convert 31.2 lbs to cubic inches. I don't have a calculator handy or I'd do it.

"All may have different answer and majority want Firefox its because it wont windows validation as IE requires. Yes all should have original version only.. But some peoples lack it so the move on to firefox."He's right. The majority of Linux users want Firefox its because it wont windows validation.

RE: Page Division WTF
@m0ffx said:
It's not deliberate, it's the shortcoming of the simplest solution - to split the page every x characters, or slightly better, on the space immediately before/after every x characters. Getting a full stop alone could just result for a careless/ignorant author putting a space before a full stop .
While it's a WTF, it's (to a degree) excusable.
NO ITS NOT EXECUTABLE ITS DUMB FOR SOMEONE TO DO THAT

This is essentially how Google Maps works. All content is accessed through a view port and scrolling/dragging replaces hyperlinks.
Except the click-and-drag metaphor is a lot more intuitive for maps than it is for a regular website.But just imagine, if you will, what would happen if Google merged the web page data it collects with Maps. Search the web, and view the results on a map. Not just a "store locator" mechanism, but a whole new interface for searching and viewing the web! Ok, dumb idea...

At one point I got so fed up with those messenger ads I actually added the server to the HOSTS file, and made any requests redirect to 1.1.1.1 :)
I'm pretty sure using loopback times out a lot faster, which will generally result in a much more favorable browsing experience.
Compare: http://1.1.1.1/nosuchpage to http://127.0.0.1/nosuchpage
Only if you don't have a webserver on your computer.
I run a dev web server on my PC, and the loopback ended immediately with a 404.

WorseThanFailure WTF
This is my first post, so please be gentle. Actually, I don't care what anyone says. I know this isn't the place for WTF site typos, but I'm going to post one anyway. Can you spot it? Here's a hint: It's in the bottom right corner, near the word "Advertismentss." This is a huge WTF and clearly demonstrates a lack of understanding of good web design. Any experienced programmer would have immediately noticed the problem and worked to resolve it. No, I've never misspelled a word. Ever. TunnelRat, are you out there?

RE: If only we had known that earlier...
@djork said:
Actually no. We've found the issue for them, and it involves application A causing application B to crash when using feature X.
We are the developers of an unrelated application C.
I was actually personifying the applications and thinking perhaps that application B's moods are simply a result of unspoken anger or jealousy over application C. Throwing feature X into the situation only complicates the matter.

RE: If only we had known that earlier...
The mere presence of your app makes the other app crash. Sounds like there are some serious issues to be resolved.

Why on Earth would people brag about turning Javascript off in a thread about a funny Javascript popup?
Because life on the InterWeb is much nicer when you take control the content, rather than being subjected to annoying web design. For example, I was not subjected to the funny pop-up dialog; my attention went directly to the site's content. I didn't think about the layout because it rendered fine outside of their recommendations.
If 100% of people who published content on the InterWeb spent at least five minutes evaluating their site's design and usability, that would be great. But such is not the case.

RE: Page Division WTF
The people who have been pointing out the declining quality of the non-Side Bar WTF posts are correct. Granted, the site relies on user submissions and I've never offered anything, but I''m considering some. I know, gimme a focking A for effort, but I've always gotten my jollies from the comments. Judging by the reaction to some of my sarcastic posts (all caps included), this forum is quite flame-retardant, which is nice.

Not to mention the major Unix text editors (whether console or graphical) have the decency to support Windows line endings. But then, decency is not MS strong point.
STOP YOUR WHINING B*TCH AND JUST USE CRLF LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. THATS WHY LINUX WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS WINDOWS
