Lol IM GONNA BLACK LIST JIM BASTARD.
Obviously missed the humor of trolling in the troll thread. Idiot.

Yes I'm staying in a share house....LOL YOU FUCKING NOOB.
I'm out of Brooklyn for the time. I'm summering in the Hamptons at my new house. Four bedrooms, two bath, and a pool.
*not living with my parents so don't make that stupid joke*
Yeah I get banned from a lot of places. Thanks for googling me and increasing my rank.
I didn't read any of this really except the first post. You guys are all retards.
I didn't derail the thread. If you read the thread you'll see people who responded with only stupid jokes. Ohh Java hurr hurr, ohh coldfusion ahaha lolcopter, ohhh potshoottt ohh.
U GUYZ IZ SOO FUNNY CEREALLY
I'm saying we use moderation as a means of keeping specific threads locked into a certain format. This would create threads that would be viable content for the front page.
I have no interest in not allowing free speach. Everyone should have the oppurunity to express themself freely. I would just like to see a few threads that I know will be a good read, rather then the usually retard slap fight (aka flamewar).
Is this making sense to anyone?
Are there any board moderators reading this thread?
You know this is really dumb. I wanted to have a quality post which would be a good read and now it's turned into complete crap because of ill informed noobs who have nothing of quality to say.
Can we get some sort of thread moderation going on here? Something where the author can remove posts not deemed relevant?

@JimBastard said:A line won't execute unless the previous line has completed.As opposed to what?
As oppososed to asynchronous methods.
Yes, I'm the idiot.....and you're the one who thinks Russ and I are the same person.

Well considering you only know ColdFusion, I can understand your ignorance. But not every platform has high level OSes. .
I see you have been reading my resume...oh wait no you haven't.
You are assuming that I only know one language based on........nothing. You have a complete lack of knowledge, education, or awareness............ALSO KNOWN AS ignorance.
To add insult to injury Coldfusion runs synchronously NOT asynchronously, so you don't have to deal with event handling on a programmical level. A line won't execute unless the previous line has completed. And yes....there are timeouts and specific functions dedicated to error handling.
If I were you I'd probaly stop trying to diss JimBastard on this forum as it's only revealing your own level of stupidity.
Also, don't call me ignorant you stupid fucking faggot.

I still stand by Busy Spin. If someone is using busy spin they obviously have no idea what event handling is all about.
Except that not every platform has 'events'. 'Busy Spin' or polling is completely viable in many situations.
Maybe in the crap languages you work with.

O NO GUYS
Someone posted a valid point. I can't argue with his logic.
Lets get down with grammer nasi time.
Just FYI I'll be offline for the new few days so don't freak out if you don't see me in there.
You know its funny this guy is calling russ incompetent and moronic.....he probably genuinely believes it too.
Most of the people that shit on coldfusion are basing their opinion on
something they heard from one person once over a water cooler.
Some like to talk about the lacking features of 5-10 year old versions
that have long since been implemented into coldfusion's core.
A few (which I haven't seen here) admit that Coldfusion is great in
general for RAD (Rapid Application Development), but they prefer the
custom Ruby/Python/C# web app engine they built.
I really don't give a flying fuck about what the first two types of people have to say.
I just find it really funny that you are making ignorant deductions
based on non-existent facts. IMHO russ is one of the smartest people I
know......and I'm in the 99% percentile....tested and verified.
Pretty much everyone who I've seen in this thread (with the exception
of Lingerance) is not even close to being on russ's or JimBastard's
level.
Edit: doodoo pee pee cocky shire. too much cerealness in this post

Haha, you caught me! Just don't tell my mom. She might not bake me cookies tomorrow!
LAL SHE BETTER OR ELSE SHE GETS THE HOSE AGAIN
What's so bad about living with MasterPlan's mom? I love it over there. Fresh cookies and good lovin all day.
You guys are kinda stupid. We aren't the same person.
Hey guys.
ARG-IRC was kind enough to let us use thier servers for a TDWTF chat room.
I registered #TDWTF so come on in if you'd like. I'm not really interested in moderating the room or anything like so I'll give OPs to anyone who can handle it.
irc.arg-irc.net #TDWTF
If you don't have an IRC client you can try out www.mibbit.com , ARG-IRC is second down the approved server list.
How about an IRC room?
irc.arg-irc.net #TDWTF
You can also use www.mibbit.com we are listed second the approved server list.
MPS design is pretty fugly. Looks like a hacked up template monster.
My site design pwns all.
ARG-IRC. Two material witnesses. They don't even like me very much, I don't see why they would lie.
Guys seriously.......if I wanted to make up / exaggerate a story about a programming WTF I could do a lot better then this.
This story is 100% true. I have no idea how I did it. All I know is I created some seriously foul linked list code in C++ and it FUBAR'd three machines.
Anyone who says this is "impossible" is wrong. I saw it happen, other people saw it happen. I'll agree that it is EXTREMELY bizarre, and EXTREMLY unlikely.....but it still happened.
Anyone who says this is "impossible" is straight ignorant.
zomg russ!!!!! you created an account.
Beware of russ0519. He'll h@x your g1b$3n.
Vista is lame because: I can't run any of my legacy audio applications correctly. I've been using some of this software for over five years without any issues. Now I have to change my studio setup because of Microsoft? XP SP2 FTW ATM.
Because if I wasn't a flaming asshole the only diffirence between us would be my leet coding skills and good looks. Ohh yeah also my superstar like rap ability.

I have more relevant content I could post. Would you like to see more content?
@MasterPlanSoftware said:
No, go away douchebag troll/spammer.
Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................................................I don't think I like you.
I've got a lot more WTF ish stories that due to thier extreme nerdiness I probaly won't post on my site. Would you guys like to see more stories like this catered just to TDWTF?
@MarcB said:
Why is this a WTF? Your program had a loose pointer, it stomped all over the low 1meg of memory and trashed the VGA font tables. The video aperture's memmapped into 640k-704k [A000:0000-B000:0000]. Since supporting dos mode isn't a priority of Microsoft, no surprise that they don't redo vga font tables after reboot.Did you try cold-booting the machines? The corrupted font tables would survive a warm boot.
Did you try reading the post? Reading compreshension FTL.

What are you worried about... Is your real name really Jim Bastard that the police will come knocking as soon as you tell ?
:-( :-( :-( :-(
Lawsuits and injunctions are curious creatures.

Did someone say Cold Fusion?
HTMLEncode() ????
Edit: wait why did i help bump this old thread WTF
Maybe the ram wasn't fully cleared on a warm boot. A cold boot probably would have done the trick.
It was about a week before the machines were removed from the ITC. They sat completey shut down over night several times. They were usable for the most part, except when a student had to use a DOS application.
I wouldn't try to rationalize what happened. I've had eight years to think about and I still go WTF?!?!
I'll say this once: This WTF is 100% true.
I wouldn't even think of posting a WTF as outlandish as this without witnesses. I barely believe it myself.
Hot Dog Man and Jay can be found on irc.arg-irc.net (www.arg-irc.com) any day of the week. Jay is the server administrator and owner.... They watched all the events transpire and were laughing the whole way. Apparently one of them was helping throw out/donate some of the school's old machines a few years later....and came across the ones I trashed.
I'd suggest plugging all your CAT5 cables into the first 220 volt industrial outlet you can find. If you survive the shock I'd suggest writing a design spec even if its a one page google document.
dhromed -
I had this exact same issue at one of my previous work places. We were using windows machines...so I just would log into the MP3 server and close the file share session for the annoying MP3. No one could figure out why whenever this guy tried to play Bruce Springstien the MP3 server would start acting up.

Hey guys....I've posted a new story on my site that you may enjoy: http://www.jimbastard.com/Jim_programs_a_true_WTF.html
Jim programs a true WTF
Occurred: April 2000
Once upon a time I was a huge noob. I wasn't a noob in the classical sense. I was just young, and still had much to learn about life and even more to learn about programming. I was in my high school computer science class. We were working with Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 on Gateway boxes that were barely able to run Windows 98. Our class work for the semester was determined by a project based sylabus.You were expected to complete a project every couple of weeks and complete all projects by the end of the semester. We were about half way through the semester and I was nearing the end of the project list. After completing all the easy projects (pointers, arrays, recursion, dates, etc..) I had moved on to working with datasets. Our project was to build and manipulate a simple linked list. Create a few nodes, do a few sorts, perform a few searches. A very simple data structure. I'm an RDBMS pro these days, but as a young bastard this concept was quite daunting.
After a few hours of messing around I had managed to create a linked list structure and I had created an addNode function. I had just begun to build my first bubble sort with recursion. I hit compile. I saw the familiar DOS prompt and saw my application's menu. I hit 'A' to add a node. After adding a few nodes I type 'S' for Sort.
Let's stop here for a moment and review: I'm on a Windows 98 machine running a Turbo C++ application in DOS. I'm using no headers or libraries except IOStream.h. I have absolutely no reference in my code to anything that is related to color or style of font/text or video.
I'm looking at the output of my DOS prompt. I see half of my linked list and what seems to be an ASCII dump of every single character ever (including the leet ASCII smiley character ) in every single 8-bit color. All the text on the screen (including my previous input echos) are blinking in blocks of random colors. Hot pink, lime green, red, light grey....
I'm a bit little puzzled. I type 'exit' to return to Turbo C++.
My IDE is completely FUBAR. Just like the DOS prompt, the screen is covered in blocks of random 8-bit colors. Having some common sense, I close down Turbo C++ and reboot the computer. As the Gateway struggles to restart I see the BIOS information displaying on the loading screen. Green, Red, Pink, and Yellow blocks are flashing everywhere. The familiar black and white DOS has taken on all the colors of the 8-bit rainbow.
Now I'm starting to get freaked out.
Windows boots and everything seems to be fine. I load up Turbo C++ and the IDE is still FUBAR. Flashing colors are everywhere. Hot Dog Man and Jay are sitting next to me and have taken interest in my misfortunes. I call our teacher Mr. Stroker over.
Mr. Stroker thinks I have messed up a setting in Turbo C++ and tries to reset the compiler's colors to default. It doesn't work. He looks at the code and although he can see it is incorrect, he is adamant that my code couldn't change the DOS colors. He thinks I'm up to no good and tells me to log onto Hot Dog Man's computer. With Mr. Stroker watching over my shoulder I load Turbo C++ and run the code. Green, Yellow, Red, Pink, oh my! Mr. Stroker is watching in disbelief and makes me move to another machine. The exact same thing happens. DOS is now completely trashed on three machines. No one can use any DOS applications and the screens violently blink random colors while being booted.
The machines are removed from the computer lab and are never seen again. I restart the project from scratch.
A note from Jim: I wish I still had the code so I could post what I had actually written but all my electronic media was confiscated (and never returned) by police in 2001 due to The World Famous Priceless Story
I think someone had an extra large glass of haterade this morning.
Edit: Hrmmmmm yellow spell check FTW
