must say it was a brillant post, worthy of a picture on a wooden table..

That is awesome, JR.  No need for comments.  You've got them all covered.



Fist!

Alex Papadimoulis:

Ha! And you guys think that CAPTCHA that I put together is hard to read. At least I didn't use the one that K.C. tried to use ...

IT'S A SIRDS!!!! Well, it looks like one at first glance, but I can't see anything in it... (A ball or torus maybe?).

Some of these look fake.... Are user submissions decreasing Alex?

I just googled the "Norton's new software that TD has announced" and got the same thing as in the post...so that one is definitely real. 

That No! - Bad User!! one made me laugh a lot.  Good times. 

Hmm, 49707 days + 23 hours + 16 minutes =?



(((494,707 * 24) + 23) * 60 + 16) * 60 = 4,294,768,560 seconds.  That looks awfully close to 2^32 = 4,294,967,295.



How many times can you laugh at the same punch line but when told a different way?

That would be me, with my original and witty reply of "Insert complaint about lack of coding wtf here",  Which disappeared into the forums software abyss.

Here's another.  Try right-clicking on the website for this web-design "expert" (sorry, only in IE).

Infinity.  How many Michael Jackson is weird, Jessica Simpson is dumb, Dick Cheney is a bad shot jokes have you heard in the last 6 months or so?  At least, the media thinks it's infinity.  Jay Leno = not funny.

Nope, he forgot to include accusations stating Alex made everything up :-)

 

 

Alex Papadimoulis:

But hey, at least Dell wasn't as harsh as this Network Diagnostic Tool that Mike Davis was trying to use. A lesser user would have likely been brought to tears.

Classic.  Obviously disciples of Apple's old MPW development environment. 

As a user, this would piss me off.  As a developer I find it funny as hell. 

Alex Papadimoulis:

 

In the last episode, we saw a picture from inside the 12th car on an 11 car train. Dan postulates that (null) is probably that car's destination stop ...

I hate when I get on a zero-based array train when I have a one-based array ticket!

 

Alex Papadimoulis:

You know you've done something reaaaaly bad when Dell, of all entities, yells at you. Thomas Nielsen sure learned his lesson ...no more swapping his hot-swappable drives ...

I wonder what the message would be if you pushed 'N' cause you are gonna do it again???

I bet it would not be family friendly!!

Alex Papadimoulis:

That's a Swedish subway car so another wtf is that globalization is not working, should be (noll) in Swedish.

In the upgrade, they give you up to 5 times!

And I suppose we'll wrap it up with this screenshot from Shaun, who's IM buddy hasn't reached The End of the Internet after 136 straight years ...

 

He must be the guy that has 40 years of C++, 20 years of .NET, etc.

Bill was having a tough time getting Apache JMeter to work. Anyone know how to configure 1 to be less than 0?

 

Nonono, Alex.  You've got to think outside the box!  You need to configure 0 to be greater than 1.

Yeah, I don't know why I said that.... I was probably just upset that there weren't some better ones...

The "Got Ya" popup seems "fake" though, and some of the others I just don't see as WTFs, or at least not big ones...

the lenovo one.... whoopteedoo....

The AVG exception: oh no, it didn't give a detailed description... let's look at all of your error dialogues and see if all of them give detailed descriptions

yahoo toolbar smart tools: in case you haven't noticed, 99.9% of "surfing toolbars" are useless spyware/adbots. Go figure that they would make it difficult to get rid of/turn off the product.

tips of the day.... probably the best message that could've been used.... actually, i like this one... nm lol...

bah, ya know what... i'm just an arse... most of them are really funy, it's true... I dunno.... I'm just in a  crappy mood I guess.... bah!

I demand a Daily (/Weekly/please?) Pop-Up Potpourri site!

Kodi:

Well, don't confuse java with javascript - they're two different animals - but the WTF there is that he probably meant javascript. 

Ya know what's an even better WTF?  He's marketing his webdesign biz - and there's no contact information.

staring that for awhile gives an idea to use jpg compression artifacts for capcha text, should be as messy as the text twisters and take less bandwidth...

CAPTCHA: error. should have known.

I'm from Holland isn't that vierd?

He probably took it down because the only people contacting him were doing it to make fun of him.

Is there any explanation for opening the page with a <hotmail> tag, and not closing it?

The best part of the entire site is:

We offer extremely good rates and have a track record of building websites and putting adsense on them and making clients as much as $40-50 a MONTH!! We have the screenshots to prove it.

His site actually has adwords but none display :D

[script type="text/javascript"

I wonder how many myspace sites he has designed?

Also, have you ever heard Michael Jackson in panpipes?

Put the keyboard on a wooden table, then take a picture of it and print it out.  Use the printout instead.

Go to the nearest convenience store.  Tell them you'll give them the keyboard for a Coke.

If he told you then he'd have to kill you :)
