You're alive! :-D
-- Note from Alex: yes, and I'm also TRWTF for mis-scheduling wed and thus articles... Been out of town, and now i'm at codepalousa
Admin
At least there's always Error'd. As reliable as LOLcats and pretty much the same level of humour as well.
Admin
Maybe Teletracker is trying to warn you that version 4.2.6 is not good, and that you should "upgrade" back to 4.2.5.
Admin
Like upgrading to XP SP3 from Vista RTM?
Admin
Wonder if we've seen some Confirmit-powered WTFs before today.
Admin
It's okay Kennith, Georgia Tech doesn't allow things to leave. You should know this by now...
Admin
AH! An article! I was getting worried!
Admin
I missed you, Alex.
Admin
DHL has not offered domestic pickup service for over two years. So, only half a WTF.
Admin
3 days. Sorry, Alex, not good enough to beat the previous champ's record.
Admin
Welcome to "The Occasional WTF"...
And yes, I know the site is free, blah, blah, blah... If you're not going to post something new, at least regurgitate something for a few years ago and call it a "classic".
Admin
WTF is that ad with the Chase bank card for? The card is bigger than a credit card and TRWTF is based on the direction of the text the dude is swiping it the wrong way.
Admin
I think that's one of those new-fangled ones that you just tap on a receiver to use.
Admin
buahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa ha!

This comment cannot dispense more that 0 posts .

The "secret maximum amount" isn't secret, it's displayed on the cash machine
Admin
OK, so I know that PINs can't be read via RFID but it's surprising how much information you do get from a modern RFID bank card. I know this because I bought a skimmer - they're really cheap and I was curious. I've never found a card containing encrypted data either, although I assume it's possible. All in all it's a pretty low bar to entry for the average criminal, if you ask me.
Admin
I was thinking the same thing. Error message is definitely still a WTF.
I have one of those (they reissued mine recently in that format). It's still a normal credit card, just printed the other direction. The back looks like a regular credit card with the stripe going the normal way.
Admin
Of course there are shipping restrictions: There's mainland between Atlanta and Bloomingdale, so how do you bitches expect the DHL boat to sail across?
Admin
Admin
You can see a picture of the DHL boat here.
Admin
The last one really is a WTF; the number is never too large for Qwest.
Admin
BAD COMMENT
PLZ FIX
Admin
Admin
If you're concerned about it, find a wallet like mine. One of the card slots appears to be almost completely RF shielded, and I assume it's completely by accident. I can open the wallet and literally touch the reader with it, and the reader still won't read the card. Though handy from a security stance, not so much when I just want to get into my parking deck.

Captcha: luptatum <insert funny remark here>
Admin
The MSDN one reminds me of when I went to the MSDN labs site for ASP.NET to investigate a stack trace I got. Instead of an answer, the page crashed and gave me another stack trace.
The recursiveness of it all imploded the universe.
Admin
Yeah, especially since they are likely going to use it to figure out how much to extract out of the customer.
Admin
Wouldn't you? I mean, if you asked 100 people how much they would pay you to kick them in the groin, and the average answer is $50, wouldn't you charge $50 instead of $5 for a good ole' groin kickin'?
Admin
You could charge $50, but then you'd get undercut by my $44.99 groin kickin' business. Plus, we currently have a two for the price of one deal.
Admin
Damnit! Really, $44.99? How do you have such low prices? When does the two-for-one deal end? Am I too late?
whack OUCH... guess I'm not too late... whack ARGH! What a deal...

Andrew, you dumbass, you have to lowball those things. When they ask you what you'd pay, don't just up and tell them $100.00. Especially Qwest. Whatever that maximum number was, that's probably what they were going to charge anyways. Or maybe they were going to take the highest response and double it. All I'm saying is, don't come crying to me when they want $200 bucks to tell you how much juice your fridge uses.
Admin
That explains it. I showed up at 10:30 and when I saw that no one was there, I assumed that the Rapture had come and I was left behind.
Admin
RE multiple of $10: $0 is a multiple of $10. 10 * 0 = 0. The message is perfectly valid.
Admin
RE guess the maximum: On the serious side, I find that this is a problem with many applications.
Not long ago I was trying to create an account on some web site or other. It asked me to select an ID and password. Then it told me that my password was insufficiently secure. No hint what their idea of an acceptable password was, just that mine wasn't good enough. It contained both upper and lower case letters and digits. So I added a pound sign to the end and tried again. Still not happy. I tried changing it one character at a time until I came up with something it would accept. Eventually I figured out that what bothered it was that my digits were "00". Either it doesn't like repeated digits or doesn't like zeros or something. But, hey, can't you tell me what rule I'm violating, instead of just, "Sorry, you broke some rule somewhere. Try to guess what it was."
Admin
Where are all the fellas from TDWTF? only 40 comments?
You guys seen to be all brazillians.. Today starts our great Carnaval holiday and everybody is crazy at traffic.
Admin
Admin
Do you really want Nagesh that badly?
Admin
TRWTF is this:
Don't pollute the web with that garbage, kthx.

That DHL message shows up when you're trying to ship things from Japan to Switzerland, too.
It seemed to persist as long as I didn't check off the "dutiable material" checkbox.
Admin
Admin
Show me the un-shopped version (please).
