"Clearly," Alex wrote, "there is more potential for my printer here than just printing..."
Normally Marc doesn't disagree when his computer tells him something, but in this case...
Wow!!!!!!! It sure was Sander's lucky day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"A standard confirm() dialog? That's not a warning message," Mike scoffed, "THIS is a warning message!"
Daniel Lo Nigro learned that one can, in fact, have unused icons on an iconless desktop.
Unforutnately, "OOOOOOOOOOOOO" didn't quite solve this CAPTCHA.

That first one strikes me as unremarkable, given that many printers' displays can be changed using a simple perl script executed over the network. There is a printer just a few feet away from me that has recently said things like "Feed Me", "Underpants", and "Beef Cartridge Low". It also showed "There will be cake" while the printer across the hall said "The cake is a lie."
"This computer does not support this operating system" or something similar is commonly displayed when trying to use the backup CD that comes with a name-brand computer to install Windows on a computer from a different manufacturer. |

printer:
Yea. Imagine. You are the smarter printer on the world, and you are forced to print BORING THINGS!. phparena-captcha: Thats what I hate about how people that hate safety create overzealots stuff that don't work and don't add to safety. Warning: That actually impresedme. If only tooltips where not text limited.. imagine tooltips with huge ascii-art images. |

Concerning the prize-winning ads: That's not a WTF. That's an accessibility feature for people with MPD.

Of course that "OOOOOOOOOOOOO" doesn't solve the captcha problem: There's only 10 O's on the screen!
And well, here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to print pages! God, this is so depressing! |

A personality, in the context of printing, refers to the language used. For example, HP PCL versus Postscript. Someone probably tried to use a PS driver to print to this printer, although it doesn't have a PS option installed. Not a WTF, although it's a confusing message to people who are not technical and shouldn't be trying to interpret printer errors in the first place.
