Comment On Sewing with Calculus

Meh.

Hey, let's all e-mail Scott Bauer!

Scott should have gone with Rite Aid instead of The Daily WTF.

Pffft. Late.

I think the calculus is involved in curtain making because, if your curtains are too similar a colour / pattern to your walls, you won't be able to differentiate them. In fact, they will be so integrated as to be virtually indistinguishable.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week.

Words go here. Length unknown. highphilosopher will write the words, and you will not comment on how lame this post if because it's friday and I just can't stand ONE MORE FREAKING PIECE OF STRESS THIS WEEK. DO YOU UNDERSTAND???

Happy Friday :)

The real WTF is an event called "Let's meet kids in the park".

Sweet, I'll get my windowless van, you bring the candy.

The only reason 94% of Georgians are unemployed is because they've all turned into zombies. The 6% of us left are working to lower the unemployment, by any means necessary.

"Nullsoft" is a pretty appropriate name...

It's funny cause at first I thought that was the WTF! LOL

The sudoku one kind of makes sense, sort of. The program seems to show the actual time you spent in it solving the puzzle, but also the time since you first saw it. It assumes you're trying to cheat by taking a screen capture, leaving the puzzle, solving it on paper, and then typing the answers really really fast to win. So they offset that by showing the total elapsed time. Meh.

Hey, Scott - did you get that thing I sent you?

so you think he actually waited 26 YEARS before he finished the puzzle? i want one of whatever computer he has.

Ha! I once had a game take: 68 years 1 month 4 days 17 hours 14 minutes and 8 seconds.

No... It was sudoku.
At least it wasn't a 64-bit app, because then it would have taken ~292.5 billion years.

Semi-related story: a local council in the UK has recently banned parents from playing with their children in public playgrounds. The reason? They could be paedophiles! Now, all parents must remain outside the playground perimeter at all times. This is a true story.

At least they fully implement the FILE_NOT_FOUND boolean logic.

The sudoku one is, as I'm sure you all know, four gigabloffs, given that "bloff" is a word I just made up for a 200 millisecond period.

Quite what the significance is of counting 200 millisecond periods I don't know.

tation: a charged particle that sticks to tat, that is, cheap and tacky rubbish.

PS: I like making up words, but only on Fridays. Hey! Today is a Friday! Mibblish!

The "wait over 1000 minutes" ticket is no bug. It simply checks for the difference between the tickets id and the last id that has been marked as "done" by the clerks and doubles the amount. If those are too lazy to use that system and the marker is still at zero the system has to believe that over 500 people are waiting in the lobby. Great. :D

So, is Bob Smith complaining about all the email from us yet?

No they didn't. The Real WTF is people believe what they read in the papers

Unemployment-rate:
Guess not even in Georgia near Russia they have such a high unemployment rate.

Sign Up:
He should opt for plain text and use a proper password instead of 6 bullets. Then it should work.

Sewing:
There is no WTF in using maths for sewing. A curtain, viewed from top or bottom, is similar to a sinus curve (here comes pi into paly). The integral of y along s gives the weight of the curtain. The Omega must have something to do with static electricity.

Heading goes here:
Enter text here, Stacey! Doug will edit it later.

The parents shouldn't be allowed to live in the same home the children live.

Sad fact: Paedophiles are often related to their victims, rather than being just strangers.

We should segregate children into their own separate society and only let adults come into contact with them when they reach 16. Only way to protect them.

TRWTF is using WinAMP to burn CDs.

The Real WTF is "URL-shortening". Unless I completely trust the person (and a Daily WTF commenter doesn't qualify) I assume all shortened URLs actually lead to goatse.

Sorry, I don't click shortened links either. I'm sure you may have a point, but I'm not finding out.

I don't know what's wrong with the last one. It is very colorful, has attractive cartoons and nice round curvy shapes everywhere instead of those awful straight-line square-corner designs that you used to see everywhere. OK there is that one green box near the bottom that is rectangular, that really wasn't necessary, but it is stuffed full of letters so no one will ever look at it anyway. Overall, great job! What's the WTF?

Indeed. The point of shortened URLs is so you can post them in your Facebook or Twitter status, or send them via IM or something similar without them being horribly ugly. When you cover them up with other text like this, using some form of URL shortening is pointless and makes people less likely to follow it.

It's okay everyone! I took the bullet for you, and it's quite safe: http://www.watford.gov.uk/ccm/content/strategic-services/home-page-content/statement-about-harwoods-and-harebreaks-adventure-playground.en

I'd say you're in more danger believing what you read in newspapers, or even TDWTF comments.

No, you are all worng! The waiting time is so long because the office is closed soon after the arrival time and re-opens next day in the morning. TRWTF is that it does not say, "Please come back tomorow at 9 a.m."

That really blops my noptab. In fact, it's like clibbis except more brappy.

Regarding that sudoku one, it looks to me like it may be on a linux system, which certainly has a bug about the times. Even a 5 min puzzle will tell me it took hours to solve, though the active time is generally accurate.

If you don't believe what you read, why do you believe this is true? Sounds like the council are covering their asses and you sucked it straight up, you idiot! lrn2internet n00b!

But then they will find it difficult to integrate.
And who will do their sewing?

The real WTF is that's Wordgirl and she would not approve of Doug and Stacey.

Integrals and Ohms are now constants. News at 11.

That's why we meet them down the park.

Mmm integration, baby!

TRWTF is my inability to enter a 4 letter CAPTCHA

The sewing one is just another good reason for adopting the metric system. Well ... another reason, anyway.

They do that now. Ever hear of "feral kids"?

So they didn't ban parents from playing with their own children in "public parks", but only in two specific parks that they designated as "not public". Oh, okay then, as long as you changed the name, that makes it all okay.

Even if true, this sounds like a lot of political denials that you here: Start out claiming that the story is completely false and just a rumor being spread by extremist opponents of the administration, and end up saying that, well, it's basically true, but it was only 4 of [whatever] and not 5 as reported, and it was not a [descriptive name] but rather a [euphemistic name that means exactly the same thing].

We already have something a lot like that. It's called "public school". As one high school principal put it, in public schools young people are given the opportunity to pool their ignorance, so that by working together they can do things far more stupid than any one of them would have thought to do on his own.
