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.

 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".

Admit it, you looked at their page source.

That is truly a clbuttic coding error.

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,

xwd -root -out screenie.xwd

?

Uhm

printscreen button? 

Uhm.

Linux user? Commands not using console are for wimps?

reminds me of this comic:

[...]

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.

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.
