RE: Whiny Computer Twerp
I think you can find your fair share of people like that at any (high) school or college that you go to. There have been many posts here about people installing Quake, etc. across the school networks.
Somebody in our school district managed to get Quake 3 on the entire district WAN.

It looks like the site was made by copy-pasting bits and pieces from elsewhere, without any real understanding of HTML. Hopefully whoever wrote this page is designing the new site, so we have plenty to laugh at.

Caution: Web Paint!
Browsing through the Side Bar archives, someone pointed out the horror that was the Saugerties PD website (http://www.saugertiespd.com/).
Well, now it isn't a gigantic Publisher document, but it is: "Under construction! CAUTION: WEB PAINT!"
Dear god...

Google Code Search goodness
I'm in love with Google Code Search... it's a bottomless pit of entertainment.
These are just a few of the gems:
Batman:
Acme::MetaSyntactic::batman - The batman theme
And the ever classic "What the fuck?"
t.i = 0x5f3759df - ( t.i >> 1 ); // what the fuck?
......
if (!cur->lineptr)
g_warning ("WHAT THE FUCK? THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN!\n");
.......
<category>
<pattern>I AM DRUNK</pattern>
.......And probably the world's best comment:
/// When I was in kindergarten, I had lots of fun. We had a miniature kitchen
/// with lots of fake fruit and vegetables. I would play at the stove cooking
/// things or play with lincoln logs, which we also had. Also, every week, we

That's only a small, small fraction of the WTF goodness out there. Find some more!

RE: Worst Products on the Internet
To paraphrase - the DMCA is The Actual WTF(TM). I think we can all agree on that one... ;)

Ok, I just spend some time looking into it again. Just for fun. And it was still as bad as I remember.

That is truly worthy of a front page.
All I can say: who the hell designed that?

Worst Products on the Internet
I'll start with a classic: Right Click Revenue.
Wrong on so many levels-
- People actually buy it
- It really does nothing
- You don't really have to buy it, you can find a link to the .js file in the source

RE: The World's Worst Security System
An amazing thing called... a 404 error. (Yes, it does get worse. They didn't even put in the correct links. Both cases of shtm should be shtml.)

The World's Worst Security System
function Login(){
var done=0;
var username=document.login.username.value;
username=username.toLowerCase();
var password=document.login.password.value;
password=password.toLowerCase();
if (username=="tshm" && password=="thebigpicture") { window.location="image_download.shtm"; done=1; }
if (username=="kevin" && password=="tshm") { window.location="image_download.shtm"; done=1; }
if (username=="member3" && password=="password3") { window.location="page3.html"; done=1; }
if (done==0) { alert("Invalid login!"); }
}Guess what? It's unencrypted and found in the source of the login page.

This woman just makes me SICK
While I don't frequent digg that much, a friend pointed to me to this posting.
This woman is suing archive.org because their spider crawled her website after she posted, in plain english on one of her pages, that her website can't be crawled. Ironically, she has no robots.txt to back this up.
NEWSFLASH: Archive.org's spider can't read
Frankly, I think this woman is a gigantic asshole. What do you think?EDIT: Read a few of the comments. A couple are quite insightful.

What I've been thinking my whole career
To all you fellow programmers:
I'm sure you've heard of the Joel on Software blog. I read it occasionally, and he produces some pretty good stuff sometimes. But this article just really hits the nail on the head: it's probably the greatest article I've seen on the programmers vs. big management thing for a while. -
RE: The Malbolge programming language

The Malbolge programming language
Well, I was introduced to this language in the "HTML > PHP converter" thread. If you want more info, go to Wikipedia

RE: HTML -> PHP Converter
Guess what I got out of their own homepage? I converted it with their "brillant" piece of software, and got this steaming pile of crap:

The joys of computer crashes (and flickr)
Browsing flickr, ran into this great pool. The public computer crashes pool. Pretty self explanitory, eh? But they'll definately make you ROFL. As my personal favorite, here's one that pretty much sums it up:

RE: Tada... it's super-WTF time
Their clients? I'm worried now.
- IBM (why?)
- Xerox (I don't want that code near their copier department.)
- AOL (Their built in browser feels like it was made with VDS)
- USPS (My tax returns come through USPS! :/)
- Ernst & Young (I don't want them to do my accounting for me, ever.) -
RE: Linux newbie requesting help!
As for the distro you use, I recommend Slackware -- it's a nice blend of Unixism and Linux. It is a pretty big step. If you'd like to ease yourself into Linux life, I'd recommend a livecd at first (like <a href="http://www.slax.org>SLAX. You can then install that to HD, mess around, etc.

RE: Tada... it's super-WTF time
I want to point out yet again the scariness of you not being able to put F*CKING SPACES in anything. Not even the text boxes. (O.o)
"It's a flightless bird! It's a burning plane! No, it's DialogScript!" (aka superwtfretard thingy) -
Tada... it's super-WTF time
Remember http://thedailywtf.com/forums/55426/ShowPost.aspx? The supposed PHP-HTML conversion app. Someone made a comment about how it looked like it was born from Visual DialogScript (dialogscript.com). And now I bring you the ugliness from the Dialogscript app itself!
I wrote a simple app that pops up a dialog box from a button called "WTF". Read on below.
Warning! Proceeding code may result in hurt eyes or a goggle prescription. Talk to my lawyer.
Title WTF App
DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,375,286
REM *** Modified by Dialog Designer on 3/8/2006 - 18:17 ***
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,WTFButton,118,158,,,WTFButton
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,wtfomg,54,109,,,nothing_can_have_spaces_in_it
DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:WTFButtonBUTTON
info WTF to the max! This program is uber retarded. This is somewhere in between basic, BAT files, and fortran.
goto evloop
:Close
info Replace this line with code to be executed before the dialog closes
exit

This was apparently put into some production code. I told my friend about this code, and apparently he's seen this before at this company.
