Comment On Sponsor Appreciation, *bleep*ake mushroom, and More Error'd

I ain't had this idea before. I will be massaging this error message in my Java app.

*bleep*nd

How good this software only controls lasers ... and not nuclear missiles ...

Audi must have figured out how to use that crazy measurement system NASA used on the Pioneer and Voyager golden plaques.

Laser guided nuke?

A $4 to $1 grant of up to $7500. Where's the WTF? If I put in $100, they will put in $400. If I put in $1875 or more, they'll put in $7500.

What, does the submitter not understand the difference between a currency symbol and a variable-indicating prefix?

Could also be the other way around.

If you put in $400 they put in $100. If you put in $30,000 they put in $7,500.

Either way, still not a WTF

"4:1" would be better than "$4 to $1", but I also don't understand where the WTF is.

The user had the lasers unplugged, and the error message told him to check his wiring. The blah, blah, blah covers unforeseen errors like defective equipment. What more do you want?

As to the password one, All I have to say about that is the the |||||| that thought that using ||||||| to store those passwords needs to be |||*bleep*|||| |||||||.

Yeah, that software has a name, you know.

Skynet.

And yes, the code contains fatal errors.

A PROGRAM THAT CONTROLS LASERS SHOULD HAVE A BUDGET FOR PROPER ERROR MESSAGES!

No, the submitter doesn't understand how grants work. He said so.

They're storing passwords the same way a lot of people did, in the days when there was a chance of someone using a browser older then IE 5.5.

I agree though: this is pretty *bleep* (not that you could have that as a password).

The real WTF is that the restaurant doesn't know how to spell shiitake.

Those folks who say your password cannot contain SELECT are in desperate need of an education.

Usually when you try to 'splain technical things to these people, their eyes glaze over and their brains turn to brick. They need the issue presented to them in terms even a sales weasel can understand.

Something like "all our data has been deleted and since we have no backups there will be no further revenue coming in so you're all sacked." An attention getter, so to speak.

Anyone know somebody who could help these lusers see the light?

Bukkake Mushrooms?

Tell Simon W that that Audi garage is in Coulsdon http://goo.gl/maps/TFN4 (he said, having recognised the road layout...)

NaN:NaN NaN, NaN, hey hey hey. Goodbye.

Passwords can't contain select for some *odd* reason?

But "DROP TABLE" or "TRUNCATE" or "UPDATE" is perfectly okay?

Interesting....

Or "DELETE FROM".

And username has no such restriction. <insert "little Bobby Tables" reference here>

Ya that would be a real attention getter alright.

You never know. Maybe someone was smart enought to only give the user that would be accessing the table SELECT privilages. Even a dim light bulb flickers and gets really bright right before it burns out.

I also wonder how w/ tastes.

I've seen that on many websites, where does it come from?

That contourdata.com website is full of WTF-ery.

Nice, I'll have #97. Lettuce Wraps Platter for 10 please. What's the bill? Wow, *bleep*ing generous!

Joe:

I suspect somebody thought $7500 was a variable name. You know, the 7,500th argument to a command line?

Bananas:

Are you sure that site wasn't set up by the "to catch a preditor" people?

So the Audi garage is on *bleep*hing way.

Please tell us about your intriguing way to store a password in a database with only SELECT privileges.

I stroked out a little bit. I guess you would need an UPDATE to UPDATE a field. Its Friday and my mind is on an *bleep*ing awesome camping trip I get to take after work.

So the contourdata website, if you go to webtrack4.contourdata.com, you get the Under Construction default IIS page.

Curses - beaten to the Bobby Tables reference.

Is it bad that my first thought was "Bukkake Mushrooms" too? Needed a minute to think about that one...

No, a program that controls lasers should have a budget for sharks to strap them to!

Hmm... communicating with another thread through the file system, or perhaps via row-read locks and timing?

In that case, my new password will be "Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--". ;-)

The one with the menu would've been even more "clbuttic" if they had replaced *bleep* with a synonym. "Turdake mushrooms" LOL

Captcha 'enim' - a 'clbuttic' medical procedure

Yup, me too, but you beat me to it :-(

They disallow "SELECT" and "*", but they don't disallow "'" or "\""?

No it won't, that's more than 20 chars long.

That, sir, is the understatement of the day. Perhaps someone should logon to their TRAK server at 63.115.16.67 and Admin Message Kevin (the sysadmin _and_ developer) about this.

TRWTF is that they spelled 'discontinuation' incorrectly. Hilarious, good sir.

The restaurant could've bypassed that error by calling them Sheetakes.

I don't see the problem with the SAP countdown. It's probably a good deal more accurate than most project plans involving SAP.
