    "frist" is either too large or too small for a String.

    How did Loren not notice that his plane split in half?

    That /. bug is about as old as the checkbox. I can't actually remember how old that is, but several years.

    Interesting, there was a bug here on this website which sent me to some other unrelated comment section. I should screencap it and send it to them - maybe it'd show up next Friday.

    Not if Eric Gern has anything to do with it.

    Yes, please do show me those explanations.

    • uncheck "Ads disabled", save it

    • check "Ads disabled", but don't save yet

    No, that wasn't the problem. The checkbox was always one that didn't need explicit saving (why would it? It's just a f'ing checkbox!) and worked the same way for years. The not-loading-ads was a little dodgy sometimes and a refresh would be needed, but it worked. (They'd reset things from time to time, but that was just a bit irritating.)

    Until a couple of weeks back when it just stopped working completely. You'd still have the setting and it would still auto-save. It just wouldn't have the one effect that you actually wanted it for.

    Filed under: it seems to be fixed now, slashcode is TRWTF

    It also appears that the bug is only present on some pages/some links...

    For example if you go to the error'd category (as in: http://thedailywtf.com/Series/Error_0x27_d.aspx ) then it does show the correct link for the last comment!

    The '... comments' link is still completly broken tho :-(

    The airplane LA/Seattle one remindst me of something they do with trains occassionally when they start at the same place but end up at different stations.

    The train starts as one train, but is uncoupled at some point along the route and the front part goes to A while the rear part goes to B. Bad for you if you are in hurry and don't pay much attention to in what part of the train you find a seat.

    I know they do it with planes occassionally (if they don't have a whinch to start the glider), but that they do it with commercial flights as well is new to me. Ah well, probably saves some money :-)

    TRWTF is wanting to download anything trom Softonic (or any of those similar sites), ever. Get it from the original source, always.

    "String not found" Of course, a gramophone is hardly a string instrument!

    Congratulations! You won PAGE NOT FOUND!

    Maybe the prize for next week's contest will be FILE_NOT_FOUND, everyone wants one of those! ;-)

  • (disco) in reply to DaveK

    Yeah but try downloading from a nice source repository from behind a craftily-organized corporate firewall. All those bad software source URLs are blocked for our own protection. Hence, jump to softonic or cdnet and get the same file.

    Oh, I thought they'd moved on to 'brane theory (what's the icon for wicked grin?)

    It appears Stephen's survey was being hosted on an old Intel Pentium 5.

    That's what happens when you delete cookies and temporary files from time to time. Settings get lost.

    This is what I read...

    A plane starts as one plane, then lands in two spots.... uncoupled at some point. No, that's what happens when a plane blows up. Unless.... ah there it is, the couple link, let's detach this, I've got to see how a plane manages that.

    You're making an assumption there that isn't true.

  • (disco)

    That TFS error is usually fixed by saving your files.

  • (disco) in reply to faoileag

    I'm not sure where the ghost plane in Seattle comes from, what apparently happened is that we had landed and the mapper at that point forgot where we had come from--it's hard to tell from the picture but it was pretty obvious at the time that the mapper was starting the flight from 0 latitude, 0 longitude.

    We were flying east from the Far East, apparently we flew off the edge of the world or something.

    I particularly like that Honolulu appears to have moved to Australia. I'm not sure what either the Australians or Hawaiians think about it, though.

  • (disco)

    I hate to tell you this, Loren P., but the whole display is correct. Your plane has passed through a bifurcated wormhole, and there is now a duplicate of you in Seattle.

    They just got back from Honolulu, Australia, so this is obviously Qantas entanglement.
