So no respect for Kelvin?
Whatever will we do FRIST?

Thank yuo for choosing actual comment is required.

Alex Papa, you are a real what the fuck. I sent you something different but you wouldn't publish it, and yet you will publish similar errors over and over again.
Admin
I am more curious at how someone has 165 GB of logs.

"In the end," Mark wrote, "I just ended up spelling out 'thirteen'."
Didn't he see? Answers must be three characters long - they just wanted the leading zero. ;-)

Yes. That is odd. That is odd, indeed. And I'm not referring to the screen.
Admin
Look it up. It's indeterminate.

Unmonitoring will cause this.
Admin
he not bright like you.
Admin
I don't get it, the picture says "-1.999"°C
-> C is Celsius, not Kelvin, so what's wrong about that?
Admin
TRWTF is posting Windows BSODs over and over again. That joke ceased to be funny after the 97892374th version.
Admin
That translates to -1,999°C which is far below absolute zero.
Yep. Just took the troll bait.
Admin
Unmonitoring isn't even a word!
Admin
I can't tell just by looking at the picture if it's a "." or "," or nothing at all; but how exactly does 1.999 translate to 1,999?

"Actual Effort is required"
Spiratest. Yes - lots of effort (with one of the most tedious default workflows known...)
Admin
OK

Different mark-up some countries uses , for decimal separator and spaces for grouping...
CAPTCHA: nobis just for being snob...
Admin
Got a password with at least millions of possible combinations? Why not add a 'security' question with hundreds to get around that pesky security hole!
Admin
Yes, but 013 == 11. Maybe 0xD would have been better.

TRWTF is me mixing up quote and reply

In less developed countries, people incorrectly use "." as a delimiter instead of properly using a ",". Sadly, we americans must yet again lead the world in proper grammar. So when he said translate, he meant from the "lower" countries usage to the correct one.
There, how's that for trolling?
Admin
The German thousands separator is "."
Admin
TRWTF is anyone who actually answers the question asked. If the (in)security question is "At what age did you first fly an airplane?" you should answer "blink$2.%strud" or "whaddfugsanairplain?"
Admin
Quite clearly the picture shows "-19999°C". All the characters have shadows, so the period would show on top of the clouds. There is also no room for the period (the numbers are tabular-width characters, so the "1" has a bit more space around it; just compare with all the other number characters in the picture).
Admin
Hey, today I go to Urban Dictionary and I found there are many new words which get invent all the time.
So don't act smart in online forum.
Admin
That is completely lack of imagination in trolling. Get better or quit.
Admin
Okay, now I get what YOUR problem is with the picture!
You think it says -1999°C. But it doesn't. The device is german, in Germany we use , instead of . (and vice versa).
So in american terms it just says -1.999°C (slightly below the freezing point of water...)
So the real WTF is posting pictures of "wrong" stuff, although you just don't get that other countries and cultures might use other conventions.
Admin
he did say less developed countries...

43,348,131 files each less than 4k (assuming cluster/node/segment/sector size depending on filesystem) will take 165.36GB of disk space. Apparently some of these files have 0b lengths.
A reasonably active server will produce 165GB of logs a day quite easily.
No real WTF here.
========= Update
Just noticed the file count... Apparently someone thinks 2GB is an appropriate cluster/node/segment/sector size.

I agree, I don't see where the argument over ',' vs '.' comes in, neither one of them is present in that picture.

Ah, good old "settings.watch.photo.create.label"... Takes me back to last summer's internship, when I was in charge of internationalizing all the text in the program. That meant, basically, swapping out "Label created photos" for "settings.watch.photo.create.label" - and then remembering to put "Label created photos" in the strings file, or "settings.watch.photo.create.label" would actually show up on the page, like Drake saw.
(The idea was that some time in the future, we'd send the strings file out for translation so users speaking foreign languages would get them in their own language. That hadn't happened before I left, though.)
Admin
Right. Just look at the title of the article. The temperature should be read as "negative nineteen thousand nine hundred ninety nine degrees Celsius."
Admin
Even if there was , or . the amount of decimals is ridiculous. -19.999 or -1.9999 What sort of thermometer they use to reach those levels?
Admin
Oh dear no. The first apparent 9 is actually a huge and distorted comma.
Simple, really.
Admin
Here's a thought...Maybe your submission sucked and that's why it didn't get posted? Or maybe Alex gets more than one submission and it takes some time to trawl through them.
Admin
How can Mark's age be a dimensionless number? And why, then does it have to be an integer?
As a physicist and occasional teacher, I would have failed him for not stating the units of that quantity.
