I guess that makes IE a real browser, then? ;-) (OK, so old versions don't do this).
If you use the Group Policy Editor (Start->Run->gpedit.msc) you can change the way automatic reboots are handled. (Assumes XP Pro - for XP Home, you'll need to dig around in the registry).

RE: Windows update.
[quote user="Volmarias"]Frankly, I'm annoyed that there's no "Ok, yes, I know, I'll restart the computer when I'm ready. Piss off, I'm still playing a round or two..." button for windows update.[/quote]As I mentioned, you can disable this behaviour using the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).

That's the latest version of Tortoise SVN. Anybody have any clue what was going through their heads when they made that login dialog?
I don't know. It looks pretty good to me. Then again, I have been making use of the new TortoiseSVN "Cleanup" dialog:

RE: Useless code...

So if null was a real object... could you modify it? That would be a totally awesome way to screw with your coworkers' minds... sort of like the old #define TRUE 0 trick in C :)
You can do this with certain "constants" in .NET with reflection:
[code]typeof(string).GetField("Empty").SetValue(null, "muahahaha");[/code] -
RE: Mozilla have lost their mind - The 4 part trilogy continues
Opera does this too - it's a handy way to group related tabs. As well as dragging tabs directly between windows you can see them all in one place using the Windows panel, which allows multiple selection for easier management:

Less useful (IMO) is the ability to drag tabs on top of eachother to form a "stack" which can be collapsed or expanded as you see fit. It's a decent enough idea, I guess, but it feels a bit clunky to use.

RE: Error Message WTF in IE - The Broker
As far as I can tell FileOpen is a DRM system with an Adobe Reader plugin, so my guess is that the problem lies with that particular piece of software, not IE.

The people who made that were clearly tripping balls. In that respect, it's a pretty fucking good PSA, just not in the way they intended.

RE: Upgrade to a version 4 or higher browser
@TarquinWJ said:
For similar reasons Opera 10.50 claims to be version 9.80
This is to avoid the problem caused by buggy browser version detection scripts that only support a single-digit version number; a similar problem occurred when Flash 10 was released and several sites (including the BBC's) thought that it was version 1 or version 0 and so prompted you to upgrade. -

It still prompts to download if you serve XHTML as [code]application/xhtml+xml[/code].Meanwhile, IE still doesn't recognise "application/javascript".

RE: Guaging Knowledge via the Ternary Operator
@smxlong said:
Suppose you have this:
Wouldn'tint x = 12345; bool b = x;
The MSVC compiler will bitch about "possible performance problem" because it needs to clamp the expression to a 0/1 boolean value. You'd think that explicitly casting to bool would quiet the warning. Nope, the compiler is a bastard. But wrapping the thing like this shuts up the stupid warning:
int x = 12345; bool b = x ? true : false;
Not a WTF.
bool b = x != 0;
be easier?

RE: DropDown WTF
It would certainly get around the problem created by those irritating websites that use a country dropdown with "United States" at the top. Not being able to easily click and type "Un" to jump near "United Kingdom" would be is quite irksome. (Flash dropdowns usually don't accept keyboard input either, making them even more annoying to enter your date of birth on certain websites).
