trwtf is that i never knew about that... might be handy some day. or not.
Select two or more windows, right click on them and chose "tile horizontally/vertically".
That function alone makes it "handy".

Holy meta tag batman!Admit it, you looked at their page source.
I just measured the length of a, supposedly, one hour show.
It was 34 minutes long, the rest was advertising....
So they put a loud siren on something you will be holding to your ear? Brilliant!

I personally think TRWTF is taking a picture of the screen...To be fair, he's using a pretty dodgy OS. Maybe he couldn't find a way to take a screen capture.
Uhm,

Every time you hotlink a image Michael Jackson and Gary Glitter sells another album. Please think of the children! Or possibly make them stop thinking about the children.

@Jetts said:They are just doing what is cheapest for them. The costs of providing hand-holding-support for the many people who can't or don't want to read/follow instructions would be huge.
And the cost of the massive and increasing levels of fraud caused by insecure online banking is [i]not[/i] huge?
You need to think like a PHB, the fraud cost is put on a different budget.
Seriously, I was once told "support cost is not put on out department budget while development cost are so we are shipping it like this" when I complained that a application we were shipping contained several major data corruption bugs.

I always thought that windows's inability to share files between processes was just a bug that unix had figured out decades ago but microsoft couldn't fix. Maybe it's intentional, to make web applications more secure.
So instead of "Security through obscurity" they went with "Security through accidents"?
Depends on how you look at it.
"StudentID" or "Student.ID"
You will generally have to identify you which table you are referring to anyway or you SQL code will start to get really confusing
As far as I have been told SQL along the line of
SELECT stud.ID, cls.ID
FROM Student AS stud, Class AS cls
WHERE std.ClassID = cls.ID;
is the proper way to write it, I might of course be wrong.
Ahh, first level tech support, how I love thee.<o:p></o:p>
I recently had the "pleasure" of talking to 2K Games tech support since I was not allowed to install Bioshock since it apparently had been installed more then twice (No one would possibly want to install a game on their Laptop, home computer AND their work computer, would they?). One of their support panaceas was to enter msconfig and disable ALL services (bye bye anti-virus and software firewalls) and then to go to Startup and then disable everything in there too. After that they told me that I should never enable things in there if I wanted to play the game...<o:p></o:p>
The little fact that several pieces of hardware drivers (Creative Audigy etc.) depends on some of those services which means that this little "advice" would almost always cause more problems than it cured was denied by the tech support. The support guy told me that this procedure is commonly used by hackers to increase their FPS and to reduce lag...<o:p></o:p>
It´s times like that I wish it would be
possible to sue a company for giving out incompetent advices.

that's a well known bug...what you typed was forums.worsethanfailure.com/forums ...i wish that was made a sticky now that u mention it
Edit:just paste the link in a new tab/window
I never typed anything in myself, I only followed the link on the main page to the forums and that is where I ended up.
Is it me or does it look like the light blue thingy is a cyclops that have been impaled by the key and are bleeding? The light blue thingy also appears to be holding a shield in his right hand. I wonder what the green circle is?
The site have a tendency to die in interesting ways sometimes, last week all I could not use any link on this site for a few minutes, every time I used one Firefox stopped responding until I hit stop.
Apparently I had somehow ended up in a infinite loop... It might of course also have been some kind of improvised DOS stress test but somehow I doubt it.

Ehh, am I missing something here? Hell, even if he manages to block rightclick it still ends up in a temp folder somewhere.

I would rather have them prepending a 7 to my salary,

@Dark Shikari said:WTF! I just tried viewing this site in Firefox with javascript disabled. 5 screens full of links to nowhere in particular. Turn javascript on and it magically disappears.
Obviously done for search engine traffic, but deliberately giving search engines a different view to normal users is grounds for getting your site banned. I know Google has this policy, and I am sure other do as well. How not to do a website.
Then report them http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html

I know! When you do a search, the support staff has to be there to receive the request, run over to the files, look up the information and type it back to you... really, really quickly.
The poor mans database; Interns!
I actually worked at a place five years ago that did just that. The IT-"manager" (read: the CEO's nephew) felt that connecting our database so the web server could get data from it was too expensive so he hired a few students. If you wanted to know a price for a item you had to submit your e-mail address so the "database" could email you the result.
I was browsing a online store for a Swedish company and wanted to copy a description for a merchandise but the text that was pasted always contained several extra letters, mostly i, l or j so I took a look at the sourcecode.
PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) computer entertainment<font class="i" color="#ffffff">i </font>system<font class="i" color="#ffffff"> j</font>combines state-of-the-art technologies

Now thats some creative anti web scraper technique, excepts that all you needs to do is to filter out anything with a "i" class attribute. Unfortunately it also means that the spaces between words have a bit of different width. Lets just hope that no blind people with a screenreader comes and tries to order something.
The site in question is http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=42321, it is in swedish despite the .com suffix.
What a coincident, I was just looking for a example of a online race condition as a workmate of mine don't think they exists.
*Disables javascript* What messagebox? :)
BTW, did anyone else feel that the site was slow to load? Take a look at http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/wso.php?url=http://www.profane-justice.org/
Just look at the header, the damn things is 2880px wide, 659px high and weights in at 825.15 KB. http://www.profane-justice.org/assets/images/famcollage_copy.jpg
Oh my god... Try to resize or scroll the page, FF 2.0 suddenly took 99 % of my CPU.
If I ever encounter a page using that code I will definitly .host block it, such a travesty should not be allowed to exist.
