If some company would treat users like that, I would never use their services...
[/quote]
Luckily for them, they have more users. Seriously, it's not going to kill digg if you complain. It's not going to kill them if that domain can't register, obviously the benefits of blocking that domain outweigh the loss of users.
[quote user="dArkPL"]
And show me, where I've been rude in my correspondence with Digg Support.
[/quote]
Demanding: "I will not accept simple explanation, I want to know exact reason, why my >domain is blocked and cannot be used."
"I dont like to be forced to do things that I dont want to do
" - well, duh, who does?
The real wtf (OMG HAHA!) is Digg Support's grammar. "Please trying"
... you have an excuse, but Digg is an English site.
[quote user="dArkPL"]Geez. Then it would be nice if they would explain me, why this domain is blocked, rather than saying something about TOS violations, Im not an idiot, that will accept any crap that they will tell me.
[/quote]
They DID explain to you why it was blocked - because of TOS violations from that domain. Just because you demand to know more doesn't mean they have to tell you - for all they know, you're one of the violators, and you did come off as very rude. If someone wrote to me like that, I'd simply hit delete and be glad they didn't join my site. Digg has enough users without you...

[quote user="PlasmaHH"]I get 10 of those every month. The real WTF here is that someone took the time to replace all the email addresses and hosts...[/quote]
I usually respond quickly with a snopes link and a rather blunt 'don't spread misinformation' email. Last time I did that, the original sender promptly sent an apology with said snopes link to everyone he'd forwarded the chain letter to.
[/quote]
I did that to my grandma once. Then I felt bad :(
She stopped sending me forwards though.
I work for a company which, among other things, publishes an online daily newsletter. They hired an 'editor' who doesn't know wtf he's doing, and he hired a bunch of other writers.
Again, this is an ONLINE publication.
Most of these writers handwrite their articles and mail them to the editor, who then types them and posts them on the site under their accounts, because these individuals are "not willing to post online, or type".

We have those in CVS drugstores in New England. I've asked the checkout clerks about them--how can they tolerate it? why don't they do something about it? The clerks just shrug their shoulders and say they don't notice it.
I've been meaning to write a letter to the chain, complaining about it. It's EXTREMELY annoying to me as a customer, and it's really encouraging me not to come back to the store.

I feel the same way about the new Techron speaking gas pump thing. It starts playing annoying music as you pump and tells you about all the points you can earn
[quote user="lpope187"]
Okay I gotcha now - It was the end of the day and I wanted to go home. Offhand, I can't think of a way to remove the duplicates in one shot. What I'd do is create a temporary table and select the unique records into it. Then you delete the contents of the original and then reinsert the contents from the temp table back into the original.
So you would have something along the lines of the following.
Insert Into Temp_MyTable (ID, Name) Select ID, Name From MyTable Group By ID, Name
Delete From MyTable
Insert Into MyTable (ID, Name) Select ID, Name From Temp_MyTable Order By ID
If you need it done in one shot so that the database is still usable while your working on it, you could wrap the statements in a transaction so that all the modifications are committed at the same time.
[/quote]
That makes sense, thanks :)
I fixed the table and the code - but I wanted to remove all the duplicates in one query.
How does a select remove the extras?
I have a postgresql database which got triplicates of its entries. (That part is fixed)
So now I have
id | name
1 | bob
1 | bob
1 | bob
2 | jane
2 | jane
2 | jane
Can I remove the two extras and leave the one for the whole set of 400+?
Thanks :)

those without bids/reserve not met are <font color="red">red</font>.
What does it mean exactly if an item is <font color="red">red</font>?

That someone has short term memory loss?
I started to do that, until they decided I should just md5() the random text, then randomly select from IT, as there was no way it could contain any current swears.

You can browse your file system with IE in pretty much the same way as using windows explorer. I guess people do this? And these people like that you don't have to switch windows between your files and your web pages? I have never done this, but I guess it's possible that enough people requested it that microsoft integrated that in? I don't know how long it's been a "feature" but every version I have ever used did this, I believe
I do this all the time. THis is the MAIN reason I only use IE at home.
For some reason I just always loved window reuse.
So if I am in "My Documents" folder, but then all of a sudden need to go look up something on google i just type the address in the same bar and there i go. then once im done searching google just hit the back button and now I am back to "My Documents" folder.
I dont know why I do this instead of maybe jsut clicking the Firefox button in the quick launch, but I have just always done it this way and can't break out of the habit.
If firefox would implement this feature, i would switch in an instant, but since it doesn't I am sticking with IE.

Have you never tried to type C: in your firefox address bar?
[quote user="viraptor"]
Today, I submited a form omiting some values by mistake and forcing javascript to ignore single ' in input by accident. ;) This is the page I've seen after that:
<font face="Arial" size="2">Microsoft JET Database Engine</font> <font face="Arial" size="2">error '80040e14'</font>
<font face="Arial" size="2">Syntax error in string in query expression '(((table.field) = ''') AND ((table.field)=(2006 *1 + 0))) ORDER BY ...'.</font>
table.field is anonimization of course. Funny thing is 2006*1+0. I can barely understand +0 (but form had year to choose, not offset - WTF?) But *1? Who wants to multiplicate year? Why?
Any ideas? :)
[/quote]
The only thing I can say to this is that I think my new favorite word is "multiplicate" :)
I think Community Server is to blame for that - but everyone's bitched about the forums enough to make it old news ;)

[quote user="db2"]You could rename columns all day with no ill effects. I sure as hell wouldn't recommend this approach, obviously. Ha ha.[/quote]
I would worry about my boss asking why the "Passwords" column is now called "W00t! I am t3h l337 column renam3r!!!!!!111eleventy-one111!"
(For those not fluent in L337: Hurray! I am an elite column renamer!)
[/quote]
Since when does t3h = an? :-P
If you do a dramatic change in color like TDWTF that will be noticable, but I honestly had to view the graphic to notice it was shaded at the ends. And it barely fit my screen - there are still plenty of users on 800x600, and lots of 1024x768.
It looked fine once the background image loaded for me in Firefox, which, by the way, is abbreviated Fx, not FF. Pet peeve. See http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq.html#spell-abbreviate
Honestly though, on most people's screens I don't think they'll even notice the slight shading in the background, why not just use a solid color?

Yes, it was a misinterpretation. But consider this:

Now if this is Wednesday, will the meeting be in 2 days, or 9 days?

I hate that! I always take it to mean the next time that it is Friday, but I know a bunch of people think that means the Friday after the next one. WTF.

I just mailed back quotes from Space Odyssey such as "What do you think you're doing, Dave?"
Just to clarify for others - MJ (the CH CEO) sent everyone a message saying he was going somewhere, and the mail notification came many times for the one message. My husband got 32 of them.
Anyone else gotten a bajillion emails from Hal yet?
I've started replying with quotes from Space Odyssey.
While I was taking the screenshot I recieved several more.
I pledge to reply to each one. I realize likely no one will ever see them, but it will make me feel better.

Over on CrunchNotes they have a nice nasty gram from Apple's lawyers. There are two WTFs about it ... one, sending a cease and desist for linking (hello ... don't they have an intro to the web in law schools these days). But the big WTF is the disclaimer at the bottom:
... If you are not the intended recipient, you may not read, copy, distribute, or use this information ...
You may not read!! WTF? The genie is out of the f'ing bottle. If you really really really don't want anyone reading the notes you pass to forlorn fanboys, then maybe just maybe you should put that bit of verbage at the beginning of the email.

I've been adding some features to a program at work, and at one point had to view old transaction records in accounting - imagine my glee to see:
Enter date in this format: 06/05/06
I would have laughed the first hour, then TOLD them how to use it, rather than watching all my coworkers waste that much time.
I just went to read one of their support things, for what to do on an error message

Why can't I pay my bill after 10pm? It's an automated system? Why on earth does it have operating hours?
