RE: Too stringy to digest
I've always read it as Dayvkay cause it rolls easier. But thanks for having me read in Dutch now. Daveka(k) Teeheehee!
Back on topic: 366 strings ought to be enough for anybody!

RE: Lying lies and the ORMs that tell them
They don't put those quotes around bar for no reason in: Returns the current record's "bar" value. It's stating plain and clear that it's a string! Does it have to put the dollar sign in front of it to be clearer? Like this?
Returns the current record's "$bar" value

Look through the column storing phone numbers. "4,36991E+12"? WTF, am I right?That's not the biggest issue here...

RE: Start sharpening your sporks...
Needs more automatically-playing music, little guys with a shovel gifs, sparkle-trailed mouse cursors, /cgi/ in the URI and way, way, way more HTML-resized pics (the few there are in there now, are by far not enough)

RE: Fucking Fanboys
Yup, there's no WTF in the OP, but now I learned about Kerbal Space Program too. Mailed myself the link so I can check it out whenever I want to (and am without proxy restrictions, obviously)

FTFY
No, you just made it dumb and wrong and fixed nothing.
Are you sitting in front of a desktop computer right now? Try holding your arm up and lightly resting a finger on the center of your monitor. Now hold it there for, say, a minute. Now imagine doing that all day.
Touch computing works fine for handheld devices, where operating them takes little more than wrist movement. For the desktop though, it's an ergonomic trainwreck.
Better start training with two full buckets of water, one in each hand, arms stretched out right in front of you, and holding that for half an hour. Of course, each time you lower or twitch, it's 5 minutes extra. Only when you master that, you'll be allowed to use a touchscreen desktop computer!

$foo = $condition? "TRUE": "FALSE";
Yes, this particular construction seems to be the "personal pet" of one of the devs here, not from the original enterprise software.
And while there are a few WTFs in there, (as I'm sure there are in any large codebase) this system is a positive dream to work on in comparison to my previous job...
Is anyone aware of a CMS called vTiger? If not, go and download the tar.gz from here.
Read it and weep.
I thought that vTiger was a CRM, not a CMS, and was a fork of another open source CRM after some internal disputes. Somehow, I'm not surprised some things slipped QA in such a project.

It was not until Blakey replied to this that I grasped that the question might be what the advantage of the arrow keys would be over WASD. I was assuming the question meant as opposed to a controller.
The only games I can ever remember playing with WASD are some flash games that don't offer configurable input, World of Warcraft, and Minecraft.
WASD has a huge advantage in games where you need a lot of keys for attacks and spells -- namely, it lets you keep one hand on the mouse. In WoW, keyboard turning is much slower than mouse, so I ended up using WASD, but with A and D for strafing instead of turning. F is for the attack/spell I use most often (which often happens to start with F -- say, Fireball), and all the other left-hand keys are for other attacks/spells.
It really is a huge advantage, and I've only recently started noticing it (ever since I started playing Minecraft). But... it's only an advantage if either
1.They're set to the buttons on your keyboard and not the keyboard settings of your system (so it's independant of whether you use Qwerty, Qwertz, Azerty, Dvorak or anything else). This one tends to be nice, but a major WTF at the same time.
2. If you can remap them. That way, if you do have a different layout than Qwerty, you're not regally screwed. Just remap it so your fingers go on the same places and tâdaa. Works like a charm.If, however, you're forced to use settings made for one keyboard layout that's not globally used, it's as bad a WTF as making a game for a controller, then doing a shitty keyboard port of it. It's the exact same principle.

Keyboard? In a few years nearly every PC game will be solely touchscreen controlled anyways.
He'd be trolling if he then goes on to suggest all games'd become like either Operation Wolf, or would become an FPS.
