Comment On Mr. Testupacc

The facebook one is simply a realization of minority report. A swat team will be arriving at your place just shortly before the aforementioned time.

So testdupacc is supposed to be "test duplicate account", right?

Since you clicked/had visited the link in the IRS email, where did it go?

Ah, but Ahmed, can you SPEAK in Computer Language? Construct a few complete, spoken sentences in C++, and if you can do that, your speaking ability counts as "Fluent".

Obviously, the computer language, is binary. It doesn't understand any programming language :)

Akismet, you're an ass. Since when is posting binary 1's and 0's spam?

Is the error in the library search that it reports Jan Berenstain as dead as of 2011? That almost ruined my morning until the Googlenets told me otherwise.

That search engine is working as intended. Archaic books based on ignorance, superstition, torture and fear should be down-ranked.

Yes, but it should still be done more quickly.

I can speak using pascal, c, java and fortran!

Fortran I don't mention on resume, since it will land me in trouble spots of world.

Facebook login seems a logical security feature. It saw you connect using a mean you've never used before, and it therefore verify that it is really you connecting to the service. Credit card companies have similar kind of detection to catch fraudulent charges.

Of course, if it sends an email with every login then that would be a WTF.

SIRSI Unicorn iBistro may work for checking books in and out, but it is miserable as a catalogue.

I would call you a stupid kid, but you beat me to it. Probably Facebook advised you about my post before I even started typing.

Why sign on facebook and make merry fool of self?

Want to get in "real trouble".... List RatFor on your resume..

I wonder if that library application is using "the" as a search term. It would explain why it takes so long.

I'm a fluent speaker and writer of whitespace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_language%29), however I had to tick "Low" for my reading ability; they had no "None" option.

Why, so people could ask what's a RatFor, and you could snark that they're for feeding your snake or something?

That's what I figured. An absolutely brain-dead, homebrewed search based on tokenizing with no stop words. Sort of makes sense from a beginning-developer point of view, but it should have become pretty obvious pretty soon that there was something wrong.

TRWTF is that the title says "Mr. Testupacc" when it is "TestDuppacc"

The WTF, I think was that is said he logged in tomorrow.

If that were true, then why is the top ranked result "Kindness Counts" - no "the" in there.

My first job was programming binary load lifters -- Very similar to your vaporators in most respects.

We all know the pizza shop was really in Kenya.

Obviously pitchingchriss has no kids.

All of the titles in The Berenstein Bears series begin with "The Berenstein Bears..." so the title of this weighty volume is "The Berenstein Bears: Kindness Counts."

"The Berenstain Bears - Kindness Counts" ?

TRWTF is the bible.

Why is the IRS not using a .gov domain?

I've done the Mr. Testupacc problem before. We sent a survey to a real customer based on a test transaction. Not only was the customer confused, but they were a high up muckety muck in our company who knew exactly who to contact in my org to ask why this happened.

Can Mr. Steve cancel Mr. Steve's cable subscription and continue to enjoy Mr. Testdupacc's cable?

Slightly OT, I know, but isn't "Biblical fiction" a wee bit tautological?

Apparently, you missed the part where it says the login happened "Tomorrow at 6:39am".

Becaus it's searching the description, as well as the title.

I only know enough Fortran to ask which way to the bathroom.

Because it's searching the description, as well as the title.

Oops... The full title would begin with "The Berenstain Bears".

You really feel that strongly about HTML, XHTML, and CSS? Not a web programmer I assume...

It looks like the library thing is, in part, sorting by release year descending. Which would probably always make The Bible the last book in the list.

That is assuming that for each of the versions/editions of the bible that they have, that they list them all by the date that the collection of books that we now refer to as "The Bible" was first compiled into a single volume. However each year they come out with new editions/versions with slight changes in the word usage with the intent of recapturing the original meaning, easing the understanding of the casual reader or keeping up with the changes in modern language.

They gave up even pretending they were anything other than just another bunch of crooks out for your money.

Agreed. Someone needs to copyright it so we can sic the MAFIAA on all those people giving away free copies, the communist bastards!

So should trolls, but this stupid blog engine doesn't support it.

The search engine must be intentionally broken (blast those saboteurs), because the Bible doesn't fall into that category. However, comments based on ignorance, superstition, torture and fear should be removed from this forum.

On the other hand, Facebook could correctly email you in advance to let you know that uncle Frank will be harvesting tomatoes in Farmville tomorrow at 4:35pm. Because that's all uncle Frank ever does these days.

What about modern books based on ignorance, superstition, torture and fear?
