Actually the sign up appeared to work normally. I used
test@test.com and supplied a password. It brought me to a page
thanking me for signing up. I am assuming an email was sent to
that address and I am now a valid user. The WTF in that design is
in the useability of the new registration not in the functionality of
it.

RE: Do your own homework!
I think that was a valid response.
People should not rely on other people providing them with all the
answers. I started out and still use search online for answers
myself - you learn to be self-reliant and how to learn.
I also see these same students on guru.com and
rentacoder.com paying people to do their homework. Come one....
the very reason thedailywtf.com EXISTS is because of lazy, moronic
students like this that actually get out into the wild.

RE: D++ -- The Ultimate Scripting Language
Exactly. I have been programming for 7 years now and I haven't even attempted
my own language. I'd say unless you have implemented your own language and
did a better job you should keep your trap shut.

RE: Self-taught developers
I agree. Any developer worth his salt eventually must be self-taught
in some areas - otherwise the only skills and knowledge they will ever
possess is that which others teach them. I find myself teaching myself
different languages, skills, APIS, algorithms, methods, all the time - it
is inherent in the process of becoming a better developer.

RE: String.valueOf(String string)
Yes, Java's "garbage collection" implementation. It is a very
difficult thing to implement - it reminds of the brains "garbage
collection" mechanism known as "sleeping". It is very inefficient
like Java.
The brain undergoes sleep in order to filter collected input
(forget) and retain input it considers relevent. The problem
is that the brain has to pretty much shutdown at a point
when it becomes bogged down from a day - it puts you
to sleep so it can utlize all resources to engage in this
process of clearing out garbage memory.
Java's "garbage collection" is the same. At the point
when it is most needed (lotsa memory to clear) is
the point at which it is running least efficiently.
Don't know if that other person's dangling reference
to C programmers was pointing at me, but I am not
only a C programmer, I also code in PERL, PHP, and
JavaScript .

RE: String.valueOf(String string)
I must concur, java sucks - its an anal retentive
"language" and its entire garbage collection
"feature" is inefficient and promotes laziness and lack
of responsibility for the chickenshit programmers that
use the language ;)> So, the real WTF here is the
existence of java and the corollary WTF is the
consequent existence of java programmers...

W2.0
I think the main problem is confusion about what is Web 2.0.
I have been on the internet since the days of Gopher and Lynx. Down
the road the web had changed alot as new languages and technologies
emerged. Web 2.0 is very distinct in that web sites are becoming
more of a web service / web application, public/user editable, open
APIs to content/services, and the mashing together of everything.
I think some people are calling websites (their own or others)
as 2.0 even though it isn't (confusion) and yea, definitely some
sites that are 2.0 suck just like some people make crappy
webpages - its a given.
AJAX is a perfect example because it represents the
integration (mashing) of existing technologies to create a
new technique for web design. None of the elements
are new just a new way of mixing existing elements
together - which is the essence of Web 2.0.

RE: CentOS vs. City of Tuttle, Oklahoma
This is dude is a complete fricken moron. I can't believe he worked
at Raytheon for 20 years! Come on, that is serious, we had an idiot
in charge of operations of missile defense contracting!
Sounds typical though, stupid bureacrat that wants to push his
assumptions onto reality, instead of using his mind to solve the
problem, by making ego-threats (big man with powerz) and
lashing out at a reality his self-crippled mind can no longer
comprehend.
Anyone who is interested in looking into the eyez of a moron:
