The sad thing is that many of their "user" tables have passwords in plain text. :(

RE: Display: Full Articles
@Alex Papadimoulis said:
Brilliant! I fixed the server side code... hopefully. Anyone want to confirm?
I just deleted that cookie and clicked "Full Articles". It now shows as expiration "Friday, January 30, 2009 12:38:11 PM", and it used to be "at end of session". Success!
And here I was thinking I was the only one who had that problem of the setting not sticking :)

RE: WorseThanFailure WTF
@Hans Meine said:
c) Similarly, the "Display: Full Articles" link on the front page simply reloads the page, but has no other effect.
For me, the option does not "stick". Every day when I come to the site I have to click the link to show full articles again. I don't clear my cookies or anything, so I'm not sure why it keeps reverting.

RE: Page Division WTF
@DigitalXeron said:
To come to their defence (I know this is rare of me), but they are probably using a script to generate the pages and not have much control over content length of these pseudo-pages
I worked on a system once and had to implement pagination. I thought about using automated ways of splitting up the content, but eventually settled on having the article author write in some string of characters that was to represent line breaks. I figured that the author would know better than some script how to split up his pages. It worked pretty well, too :)

RE: 2007 best coding practices
private boolean isNullOrZero(String aString) { return aString == null || aString.trim().matches("0*"); }
Should do quite nicely. I mean, is this stuff really that hard!?

RE: Alphabetical order of states?

I currently live in PA, so I'm used to just hitting "P" once. It works most of the time, since it's the only state that starts with P. Sometimes, they include Puerto Rico, and totally throw me off.
What spelling or abbreviation puts Puerto Rico (PR) before Pennsylvania (PA)?
I was wondering the same thing as I was writing that post... I don't remember. Maybe they reversed the order of states or something.

Alphabetical order of states?
On the allpoint ATM website, I was trying to find an ATM in NYC. Type in "New York", tab to the states field, hit "N" (NE), hit "N" again (NV), hit "N" again (NH)... wait a second... NV comes before NH??
"View Source" yields this nice list (excerpted for N only):
<option value="NE">NE</option>
<option value="NV">NV</option>
<option value="NH">NH</option>
<option value="NJ">NJ</option>
<option value="NM">NM</option>
<option value="NY">NY</option>
<option value="NC">NC</option>
<option value="ND">ND</option>From what I can tell, the order is alphabetical from the full name of the state. Guess they should have put the full name in the text part of the field.
The thing that worries me is that they obviously created this nice state menu from scratch... the code for this should be everywhere by now, there is no need to manually do it again!
The map itself is another WTF, but I won't go into it now (go ahead, try to find a nice map, then zoom in for a closer look. That's right, you can't!)
It's sites like this that give me hope that I'm not doing so bad after all.
