The WTF is that 32bit XP only allows you to use 3GB of the 6GB in the machines.
TRWTF ofcourse is that you didn't see that.

how about:
$pass = substr(str_shuffle('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz01234567890'), 0, 16);

I have a Micro Innovations mouse and it's the worst mouse I ever paid money for. It's a wireless laser mouse (awesome) but sometimes when I scroll down, it actually scrolls up (WTF?).
Isn't the scrolling software related?

This is a (mostly) smart community of programmers. How many people would agree with me that a plain-text writing system like Markdown beats this lousy semi-WYSIWYG editor for nearly all of our needs?
I agree

There are a small number of places where it is valuable, for example:
printf("The answer was %s\n", result ? "right" : "wrong");
However it is used in cases where it does nothing more than make the code less readable. The following two examples should produce the same code on any decent modern compiler:
<font face="Lucida Console" size="2">Value += DoubleStep ? 2 : 1;</font>
<font face="Lucida Console" size="2">if (DoubleStep)
____Value += 2;
else
____Value += 1;</font>
Edit: ___ = tab!
{bad editor!}
How about:
value += (DoubleStep+1)
or:
value += Step

I believe all expressions evaluate to false in France. There seems to be a bug in the code.

@asuffield said:It's not Linux, it's KDE and Gnome. My desktop does not involve any of that crud. With the exception of firefox, all my applications use the classical X bitmap fonts, which are always perfectly aligned and shaped, without any fuzzy edges.
They suffer mostly from a rabid desire to emulate Windows, instead of having any kind of actual plan.
There's a true art form in dealing with low resolution computer displays, that most people don't understand. Everything from attractive, readable type to effective icon design. I've not really figured it out yet, but bare 1-bit bitmapped fonts -- or expertly-hinted scalable type -- is surprisingly satisfactory.

So change it.
It's not my computer. Just some dude who won't quit showing me horrible screenshots from various distros and various desktops. If it was my computer, I'd want to rip the whole desktop apart and redesign it, but Linux at one time came with that belief that you needed not just a computer science degree but several decades' UNIX experience to unpackage and install a whole new desktop set-up just so that you could have something that wasn't painfully ugly, fat and slow. KDE 2 horrified me -- I wasn't prepared for the extreme amount of bloat it took for such a lousy desktop, but as a Linux n00b the last thing I know how to do is redesign the whole desktop from the ground up. I wouldn't even be able to name all the components that were involved and what part they all played, and what I was supposed to replace them with and how.
It doesn't help that a lot of people won't be able to change anything -- the non-technical people who are supposed to move over to Linux instead of gp Vista -- so they'll effectively be trapped with an eyesore, a GUI where side-by-side KDE and GNOME apps refuse to look related and the taskbar is ghastly in so many ways.
I am sure there are other distros that default to an attractive GUI, but that only compounds the nightmare that is choosing a distro, and in my friend's case, he's pretty limited as on his bog-standard Dell PC, SimplyMEPIS is the only one where stuff doesn't all crash and burn...
You haven't seen KDE4 yet? Or Xfce?
Or noticed that in KDE, you dont need many gnome apps?
