The real WTF is using any software made by Adoh-be.

Yeah, because there's an abundance of competent alternatives out there that come close to matching the ubiquitousness of Adobe products.

Don't forget that Adobe bought ColdFusion!

Hm, the second one just seems like it's giving you a bit of troubleshooting help as opposed to looking for yes/no. :/

I hope adobe will not be known as the next Microsoft.

But I mean its not all that bad.
The intention of the message was:
"Cannot print. Please make sure printer is turned on."

Its windows that should be troubleshooting if the printer driver is working correctly.

I just wish adobe made software for 64-bit linux.

Google AdSense is spooky.
The banner ad (at the top of this page) is for a Lawn Trailer on eBay!

How is it spooky? The page made a reference to mowing lawns.

There was an ad on the page? I didn't see it. Guess I just mentally filtered it out.

captcha: it has no relevance to the topic so I'll leave it to your imagination.

I don't see the WTF in differentiating between "Large Album" and "Large Landscape Album". The latter would indicate an album that would be well-suited for, say, six landscape oriented pix per album page.

The WTF is that the Large Landscape Album is apparently over 280 feet wide.

I calculated that each of those 40 pages is a generous 22.02 square metres; 0.0054 acres; 0.2202 ares; 237.05 square feet or 26.34 square yards. Is that correct? That's very good for size (can I get that delivered through the mail by the way?) but at just 10" wide I was just wondering if the page orientation format might be better described as "panorama deluxe"?

Sounds correct. Which means that all 40 pages total between 1/5 and 1/4 of an acre.

Actually what is spooky is I got a ebay ad for a 2008 ENCLOSED BOX UTILITY CARGO LANDSCAPE DUMP TRAILER

Which is what you would need to deliver one of those books.

Use the proper units - each page is about 1.06 nanoWales.

Now you've gone and done it.

WTF Rule #32:
The comment thread of any article that mentions a unit of any kind will inevitably degenerate into an idiotic debate over Metric vs. Imperial units.

No, the real WTF is the fact that you posted about this being a WTF, when in fact it's an Error'd post. So it's not a WTF at all.

Learn to read, and maybe you won't be "the real WTF" again.

WTF Rule #47:
The comment thread of any article that mentions or relates to a specific programming language will inevitably degenerate into an idiotic debate between commenters defending the language and commenters attacking the language, with the features being debated becoming increasingly irrelevant over time.

WTF Rule #47a:
If the language in question is some flavor of Visual Basic, the commenters attacking the language are correct.

There is even the United States Patent 20020162257 which this album is based on. Now, that's a WTF to patent an album.

The lawn mower is great. I have one myself but I've lost the blades...

And that Adobe comes up with GPFs all the time and stupid messages is relatively common

I made a triple take on that web page screen shot.

I built that site. They HAD to have put the measurements in wrong, there's no calculation going on.

I'm so, so embarrassed.
