RE: What is the bigger WTF... the FCC, or Oracle?
@TheLazyHase said:
I wonder how old exactly is the thing he tried to awaken.
Well, FCC form 601 is the Application for a New Licence for almost every radio service exept Amateur. So presumably there are quite a few people out there using it, and apparently they all have an ancient Java version installed. As to when it was built, the FCC's entire Universal License System hasn't changed much in the 5 years or so that I've been using it, and it felt like a clunky POS back then, too.

RE: Today's date, the long way

Of course, TRWTF is that "last updated" is not "today's date".
TRWTF is
setTimeout("clock30()", 1000)

RE: The status column
@snoofle said:
but in a field NOT named status so the users (who look at the schema) won't notice it
There's your problem right there. What do the users care about the database schema?! I'm assuming this isn't FileMaker...

RE: Magnetic media
Maybe they really mean one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive
A pretty bizarre format to accept, tho.

RE: It's almost as if they took a router and glued an IOS AP to it
@scgtrp said:
Also, any router config interface that cares whether Java (unless they meant JS, although that's almost equally retarded) is enabled calls for at least one designer being clobbered with something excessively painful.
I'd like to think that if Cisco had at least one designer, their web interfaces (both public web and admin) wouldn't be so craptacular...

RE: Comcast verses Mother Nature.

...what's been said so far...
So is this kind of stuff why high-speed Internet access is still disproportionately expensive?
No, this is why high-speed access is so expensive:
Two weeks ago last tuesday I canceled my (residential) Comcast TV. I also have business-class internet. When cancelling the TV I told the lady on the other end that I still have business-class internet service, and that I was concerend that it would be disconnected by one of their techs. I was assured specifically that the tech would simply come out and install a filter, and that my internet would only be out for a couple minutes.
So last tuesday I came home to find my internet not working. I called Comcast and the tech on the phone said they couldn't contact my modem so they had to send a truck. The tech got there in about 90 minutes which wasn't too bad. He started to look at my modem and I told him about cancelling TV service. He said "oh" and went out to look at the pole. 5 minutes and one re-plugged-in cable later, my internet was up.
On his way out he said "they called me all the way down from Everett for this," (I live in Seattle) "they could have had one of the local techs I passed on the way here do it".
*sigh*

The only action I can take is Continue. No cancel, no exit.
What do you want? They said it was super legit!
