@Dragnslcr said in Please create a I Hate Microsoft Club too:
This is actually a decent example of why there has to be a difference between NULL and an empty string. It's the difference between knowing that someone doesn't have a middle name and not knowing someone's middle name. Middle name might be a trivial example, but it might be important for things like phone number, email address, or current employer.
Why? If you don't know my email address, the end result is exactly the same as if I don't have one: you're unable to send me emails.
But if I know you don't have an email address, I won't keep asking you to provide it.

@Groaner said in Compromising MD5/SHA1 hashed passwords:
I still don't get why there's so much concern over which hashing algorithm is used when the attacker already has direct access to your database (and therefore, all the data therein). Why would an attacker care about your credentials when s/he has access to all the underlying data regardless?
Having a copy of the database gives you read access to a user's data. Having the password gives you write access to a user's data.

Waterworld was a fantastic picture and I would watch it at least once a year if Netflix had it.
While we're on the subject, I still say that the Street Fighter movie (the one with Jean Claude Van Dam) is an entertaining movie if you turn off your brain.
So read the first line to determine the version and run the parser after that?I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of smaller problems to solve, but it definitely seems possible and worth it.
Maybe you could start that first line with #!
English is a bastard language. We tend to adopt and commandeer anything we find amusing.
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
@djls45 said in VAT fraud?:
The commercial aspect of it is the use of government services (land recorder, assessor, public maintenance services, etc.) to do certain things with the property. "Residential" is just one of these use classifications for property. If you get your land deregistered and reclassified as private property instead of any of the "commercial" designations, then you can't use the government services (unless possibly by directly paying for them yourself), but you also won't need to pay the property tax. More properly, it probably should be called a property use tax.
So what you're saying is that if you take your property and secede from the city, then you don't have to pay property taxes to the city, and in exchange you no longer get any services provided by the city. I will agree with you on that, but good luck getting your state to approve your secession.

Let's assume you mean on public roads. Is that a thing Congresspersons have now? I can't find any reference to it. (I know it was a semi-scandal in India, government officials putting police car lights on their vehicles to bypass traffic. I've never heard of anything like that in the US.)Stuff like this:
It all comes down to language in the State Constitution that's a throwback to centuries ago, when politicians in England would try to arrest opponents to prevent them from voting in parliament.
I've heard similar stories regarding Congress in the past.
I assume that comes from Article I, Section 6:

Welcome! You must be new here!
How do you figure? In companies without strong QA departments, it tends to fall on the PM to manage testing and defects, triaging them, prioritizing them, and getting them on the schedule. When you couple that with the implication that she attempted to prioritize and schedule work but got overridden, she sounds fine, especially for a newbie.
True. I may have misread how well she did all the other tasks.
Experience I'll grant you she lacked, but I feel like developers often disparage the work that PMs do and anyone who does them without cause.
Yup, definitely. I'm sure I've been guilty of it myself sometimes. I suspect it's because it seems like project managers can be bad at doing their jobs and still get raises and promotions by playing politics with the managers above them. Of course, that can happen in any job, but I think there's a perception (whether or not it's true, I honestly don't know) that project managers can get away with it more often than engineers and developers.
Good project managers should be highly valued and appreciated. After all, they're the reason that you can sit there and write code (a.k.a. post on WTDWTF) all day without having to deal with managing stuff.

I mean, at this point, the 4G market is pretty close to being competition in the cases of the typical end user - email, web pages, and a slice of Netflix...
The only reason there's anything more than token competition is because the FTC stepped in and blocked some mergers. If it were up to the providers, we would only get to choose between AT&T and Verizon.

So I got a new computer at work this week. It's a nice development machine that replaces the old loaner that I've been using for the first couple months on the job.
And I've already broken it.
: For some reason I decided that the easiest way to get the path that a shortcut (i.e. a .lnk file) points to was to open the shortcut in a text editor.
: Windows now assumes I always want to open all shortcuts in a text editor instead of doing whatever is appropriate for the file that the shortcut points to. That alone would be annoying, but possible to fix, and Windows can't be having that. So Windows decided that I also wanted to open all .exe files in a text editor, because there's no reason that I would ever want to actually execute an executable file.
We'll see if the IT guys can log in as Administrator and fix the registry keys. If not, at least I'll only lose one day of time spent setting up my new computer.
WAIT...
How exactly did you open it?Did your text editor make itself the default for that file type?
o.O
Right-click, Open With...
Apparently Windows forces the "Always open this type of file with this program" option if there aren't any other programs associated with that extension.

Apparently the minimum title tax is negative.
Additionally, "based on fair market value" is not correct. It's FMV for vehicles newer than 10 years old. They use book value.
For anything that doesn't have a book value because it's obscure, or anything over 10 years old, they go by purchase price. I once had a debate about what the hell the purchase price actually means, once. I was contending it should be $888, because I wouldn't have been allowed to leave with the car if I hadn't paid $888, and I hadn't paid tax on any of it prior. They were contending it should be $550 because that's what the "Vehicle" line item on the (out of state auction) invoice said.I WAS OFFERING THEM TO GIVE THEM EXTRA MONEY AND THEY DECLINED.
On the slim chance that you can attribute intelligence to a DMV, it might be that they know how much time and effort it will take to deal with you coming back in two years and complaining about how you paid $20 more than you should have.
