Comment On Circular Logic

Iy's otay, T';; ger yhere somehay!

On the warning dialog, there's always the close box you can use...

Your choice could be:
* yes - press 'OK'
* no - close the dialog (press 'x' at the top right)

Couldn't enter the comment because the comment wasn't entered

You'd think so, wouldn't you ? I can't speak for NetBeans, but there was a version of Norton AV which put up a similar box for 'Restart computer'. Clicking the X had exactly the same effect as clicking the single OK button (instant restart, no way to stop it) - losing me a load of data in the process. (Please - no homilies about regular saves - this particular application didn't allow saving the intermediate data in a useful form).

WARNING

Your boxers seems to be too large to wear safely. Wearing your boxers could cause your ego to falsely inflate, which would make your sex life unstable. Are you sure that you don't want to wear briefs instead?

Reading this post could cause an OVERFLOW in your memory.

Well, this is the right place to talk about it. Please go on...

Can someone explain to me the obsession with having the first comment to a story here? I've never seen that anywhere else.

What language was that in the BIOS screenshot? I'm guessing Celtic?

It happens on lots of frequently updated blog-type places

What baffles me is the question mark. Is Noob uncertain about how to count to one?

It looks as if it's flipping one of the bits in the ASCII codes for each character to 0. I'm amazed it got as far as displaying that message in that kind of state, no surprise it went downhill from there...

What baffles me is claiming the 'third' post. Seriously now.
If I register, is there an option to not display the first three posts?

The correct response is alt-tab. :)

On many sites, such as slashdot, just because you don't see any comments doesn't mean that someone hasn't already submitted a comment with a timestamp that is before the one that you are about to submit.

In short, just because you see 0 comments, and write one doesn't mean that someone else doesn't type faster or have a faster internet connection than you do.

Indeed, it is flipping the 5th lsb to 0.

It should be noted that Celtic, or more specifically Gaelic, is curiously the exact same as English ascii with that bit set to 0 so in fact you are both correct.

I was thinking Middle English, like Chaucer.

It looks as if it's flipping one of the bits in the ASCII codes for each character to 0.

Some bits get flipped from 0 to 1, too. In 'Devyces', an i (0x69) became 'y' (0x79), and the 'o' (0x6F) on one of the "HighPoint"s became 0x7F, and (c) became 8c) (0x28 to 0x38). It always seem to be the XOR 0x10 though.

Interestingly, many of the xor-0x10 cases here interchange phonetically related letters: c/s, d/t, i/y. It almost looks as if the machine is mocking the user with bad spelling.

It looks like it was the fourth most significant bit that went down the wazoo. More than once a 't' was swapped with a 'd', and their ASCII values are 16 units apart.

What bugs me tho', is that it did not act that way for the whole message. See how HighPoints' capital 'P' was swapped on the first row but not on the second.

I think it is rather rude for the computer to suggest "Please gaid". I mean, from what I've heard, being gai is something you're born with, not really something you can just choose to do on request. Although, it is shocking the lengths to which "they" will go to get more people gaid.

Really ? In every commentable blog-like website I visit, there's always a idiot to do this. Sometimes there even are more idiots to go "second", "third" and so on.

It's a legitimate question because blog posts on C sites begin at 0.

Imagine that you're sitting at your keyboard thinking "OMG this inn-tar-web thingy is soo freakin cool and look there's like real people talking on this page and I can even post something too but I haven't got the smallest clue what to say." Instead of typing all that, "third" (or whatever) is an abbreviation of sorts.

"danny_deckchair_480.mov" - sounds kinkay.

That bit-flipping error looks like a problem with the L1 or L2 cache. I've seen so many times, I can tell by the pixels.

I don't see any evidence that noob has difficulty counting to one. But blabla on the other hand...

Agreed. Surely that proves even "they" don't believe it's something you're born with.

It's 2009, panty wearing is not a predictor of gender.

I always get irritated by those questions that say "Are you sure?", and then have a binary reply like yes/no. The real answer most of the time is "I'm not sure but go ahead and let's try it this time." Anyone ever run across one of those?

Why would you even consider using a computer that assumes it should be the boss instead of you? OK, maybe you didn't know at first, but the minute you find out, wouldn't you take it out in the back yard, blow it up, and look for something a little less rude?

Because, you know, the Boss and the company's property managers kinda take a dim view on taking corporate IT assets home, let alone explosive destruction of said corporate IT assets.

I think this shuld be standard, however let mes guess how this works:
Yes=Quit
No=Don't Quit
Hmm... kind of...=Ask again
Let me think about it for a minute=sleep for 60 seconds re ask question
No, but go ahead and let's try it this time=Quit

Am I right?

1. Heh, thanks. But I wasn't aware of Process Explorer (as opposed to Task Manager) at the time.

@the other respondents as well...

2. I didn't want to leave an anti-virus update in a possibly unknown state.
3. Most updates didn't do this; they lulled one into a false sense of complacency then sent one of these.
4. The application in question was an old binary newsreader (NewsShark - I know!). After downloading thousands of posts, the only reference to the header text (for sorting out the goodies) was in a list window with no save function. It wasn't the end of the world, just f*ckin' annoying.

It just looks to me like some bits are floating, i.e. bad or inconsistent connection.

Depending on the voltage on the adjacent pins they can act as a pull up so results are a bit unpredictable.

Sounds good to me! Maybe we should have "no but go ahead" add an entry in the event log that notes the user's concern.
