Requiring a restart is a pretty big WTF, but the actual dialog isn't really that bad. It's just saying the computer will restart in about 3 minutes unless you can tell it to restart right away.

RE: Windows update.
[quote user="unklegwar"]Note that it says it's still in the process of updating. WTF would you want to restart before it's done?[/quote]
The computer had to be restarted before the update could finish. At the time it had done everything it could.

RE: What's a local variable? (look what Intellisense has done!)
This is what happens when you write in a language without learning the language first.

Or you can just use Opera and click View Source without installing any stupid extensions.
Or you can use DOM Inspector, which comes with Firefox. That way you can click the element to select it, instead of having to search through a bunch of text. And of course both Firefox and DOM Inspector are open source, while Opera is not.But I already have the "stupid" Firebug extension, and it makes this extremely easy, so I just used it.

RE: ForceWare WTF
@powertool said:
use the Linux approach: "don't need no stinkin' reboot".
Linux developers hate rebooting so much that even after a kernel update, Ubuntu said nothing about rebooting. Then a power failure caused a restart, which caused the Nvidia driver to stopped working. I couldn't find the installer, so I had to edit xorg.conf to change the driver to nv, startx, download the installer, get out of X, run the installer, and startx again.@powertool said:
Just run the shar... it compiles, unloads the current driver, loads the new one... done.
All from the infinite comfort of the command line. (BTW, what is a "shar"?)

RE: 25 + 74 = 100
Rounding issues are nothing. Look at how screwy JavaScript is:
0/0 evaluates to NaN
1/0 evaluates to Infinity
Infinity/0 evaluates to Infinity

RE: Still worried about y2k 7 years later.

Of course this was fixed with
ECMA-262 specifies thattheYear = today.getYear();
getYear()
should return the number of years since 1900. Although Internet Explorer doesn't comply, Opera and Firefox do, so the code is still broken. The code aquanight posted works around this problem.

Ever since I saw Idiocracy I've really really wanted to eat at a restaurant called "Butt Fuckers". That would be awesome.

RE: Inappropriate Truncation
The print edition of my university's schedule of classes (where all times for every class are given) lists courses named "Real Anal I" and "Real Anal II". I laughed quite hard when I first saw that.
