RE: Can't afford to buy a 103" plasma display?
Isn't anyone going to place the order? At least to mess with their inventory system. What if they have a codes that automatically reorders stock?
I'm buying Panasonic stock now so someone please order those TVs.

RE: Condensed WTF.
There're several things wrong with it but I'm not sure it's really a full-on WTF...

RE: But it should not be part of the code....
Here's seconding local VCS like git, bzr, ...
Make all the debug commits you want in it (and push to a backup somewhere else) and then commit to the HOLY FINALITY SYSTEM only when you're "done."

RE: I suppose it's a good thing
Clearly the solution is to show about half of the "stupid" records.
for each( records as n ) if( not_stupid(n) || rand(0,1) ) show_record(n);
That way both users lose.

RE: It only fails in production.
There are any number of reasons why that query might fail on production. But I can't think of any that are particularly super-funny or neat so why don't you just tell us?

Since when is it not my right to deride things I find stupid? That's, like, the 19th Amendment or something.
Morbius already stated what tennis would have to be for him to watch (the naked man-pile orgy). I wonder what you expect the women tennis players to do then? Bring them refreshing drinks?

RE: Fraud protection FTW
I get calls from my bank like this:
"Hello, Jeremy? This is Wells Fargo $some_fraud_division. We need you to verify some information so please just start spouting all you personal information over the phone."
My response is, of course:
"No thanks. Can I call you back on a number I KNOW belongs to Wells Fargo to resolve this?"
Then they are totally confused and upset! Why don't I trust them? Why do I have to make this so difficult for them? GOD! I'm the worst customer ever!

RE: A curious MSHTML function & MSDN community content
This isn't the first time this has happened.
A few years ago, I found a slick and shiny network API (alternative to raw sockets) on MSDN so I decided to try it out in my project. I read all about it and got some test code ready to go which... did nothing. After some debugging I noticed the return code 0x80004001 coming back everywhere. Which is, of course, the error code for E_NOTIMPL.
Of course, the documentation failed to mention that the API had never been implemented, anywhere.
Alas, I can't remember the name of the API...

RE: AT&T, wtf?
My favorite billing system was Puget Sound Energy's online billing a couple of years ago. After a few months of paying $20, $170, $6, ... etc for power each month, I realized that every time I logged into the payment system, my monthly bill was a different (random?) amount. So I got smart and only payed it when it was a low amount. Hey, if they're going to give me a choice, I choose about 6 bucks.

RE: How do you sell software? By fucking your legitimate buyers...
I, for one, will never buy software that requires any kind of phone activation/install limits ever again. I already made that mistake with Vista.
I bought Vista soon after release and installed it on my PC. Didn't work at all. No drivers for anything, lots of crashing. Went back to dual XP/Linux which both worked fine.
Many months later I decided to try again (to play Crysis w/DX10). With the new patches/drivers/whatever it ran OK but Crysis did not run so well on my weak hardware (well for Crysis anyway). I ended up cannibalizing that computer and building a new one with some new parts including an expensive video card. So I go to install Vista again.
Of course the activation process complains that I'm trying to steal it and wants me to phone in.
So I call and get a CSR who wants to know every minute detail about my hardware/life/personal tastes.I honestly don't know which parts exactly were from my previous PCs or exactly what type of NIC is built into the mobo and the CSR was not happy about any of it. He kept asking me the same questions over and over. I think he was a rather lonely guy because when I mentioned I just wanted to play Crysis, he went off about how I've just got to play it with an Xbox 360 controller and how great his Xbox 360 is as a media center and how he likes to use it from the couch and it's so convenient and how he loves to play PC games with the controller and blah blah blah like we're long-time pals or something. So I feel like I've gotta play along and compare favorite guitar hero songs and shit just to soften him up enough to give me my goddamn activation code. This went on for OVER AN HOUR.
Now in a fair world, the box for Vista would have a warning label that you may have to pretend to befriend some lonely, possibly deranged serial killer over the phone just to re-install your legitamately purchased copy.

RE: Hospital billing
This thread reminded me of my funnest billing experience.
In college, almost every day for a year, I came home to the rapid, hysterical babbling of a woman with a THICK southern (US) accent on my answering machine. I could not make out hardly any of her words. I played it for my friends and they couldn't make heads or tails of it either. It was funny at first but after a year it was just annoying. Finally, in one of the messages I was able to understand a toll-free phone number, so I called it.
I was immediately put on hold without any indication of who I was calling. I was on hold for at least an hour (left it on speaker phone while I was watching a movie).
Finally, someone picked up. It was another woman with a southern accent but I could understand her this time. She was very rude and berated me for owing all kinds of money. She had my full name and phone number but she had the wrong social security number (thank GOD). I asked who she represented: Capital One -- the "no hassle" card™.
I just started laughing my ass off. I was being harassed like crazy for a year by the "no hassle" credit card company, and I didn't even have a Capital One card.
The woman didn't appreciate my laughter and refused to believe it was all a mistake so I eventually hung up. Turned out OK because I moved far away soon after and never heard from them again.

RE: Congratulations, but we can't add up a few numbers
It gave me 33/58 but when I totalled it up myself I should have got 38/58.
Maybe I'm not accounting for the order it asked me the questions: 0% -> 10% -> 20% -> 30% -> 10% -> 20% -> 30% -> 20% -> 30% -> 40% -> ... -> 100%.
Somehow I don't think this quiz is going to sell a lot of event tickets.

RE: Halifax Bank Security
Not to derail the grammar derailment, but at my old Credit Union, withdrawals worked like this:
Me: "Hi, I need to make a withdrawal of $300."
Teller: "Ok. What's your account number?"
Me: "5929"
Teller: "Are you Hank Smith?"
Me: "Yes."
Teller: "Here you are. Thanks for banking with us!"
It didn't take long for me to switch to a real bank. Though I guess I could still go back to the credit union when I'm short on cash.
