    Have you not heard of 1 day international? Now there is also 20-20. Which century are yuo living in?

    No, I have not heard of 20-20 or 1 day internationals. I have heard of clean drinking water and electricity that stays on all the time however. Does that count?

    What Sal didn't tell you was that there was another element in the table:
    Total_Height_SQFT NVARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
    

    See, it's actually very clever...

    You still have the problem that this numeric value is being stored as a VARCHAR. What's the value of "A"+32?

    If a valid numeric type had been used to declare the column it could have a default=0 applied to it completely eliminating the need for NOT NULL.

    I don't know about the article... seems pretty iffy to me as a WTF. I guess it's maybe a 4.

    TRWTF today on other hand, is all of the idiocy in the comments. People arguing over units, others debating political correctness, some obviously missing various points. And I wish it were isolated to just today's article, but sadly, it isn't.

    There are a few funny and intelligent people here, but most of you are you are as stoopid as a rock. A rock with an missing chromosome. I say that with respect to anyone who is in possession of a legitimate retard.

    Idiot users are the curse of web2.0. A few years ago I was in a college databases class and decided (as a very bored nerd) that I should make an open source equivalent of bash.org as my final project. I added a comment feature so people could discuss a given quote. You could comment on quotes, and comment on other people's comments, etc.

    Then I realized that letting retards comment on other retards was not just a bad idea, it was a truly horrible idea.

    I disagree. Gives them something to do, reduces the chance that they'll do something else that's more dangerous. If only it had been around when Dubya was a kid.

    Clean drinking water is available to all those who want to drink it. Electricity is another issue. A serious one. With so many industries imported to India, all electricity is consumed by industry, rest is consumed by farms and agriculture activity. So very little remaining for households. We have planned load shedding every day. 3 hours a day is small sacrifice to make for growth of industry and agriculture.

    10 (and that's decimal - not binary)

    But that's because I don't think they were that bad. You see a few people complaining, but people seldom do the opposite. So I would guess that a lot of the regular readers believe the articles are ok (but that's just me of course).

    I have worked as a self employed consultant for over ten years now, the last few years mostly as a project manager. But right now I'm on a contract where I'm coding again, and have to maintain a very old codebase. When I look through that old code, I often get a 'WTF feeling' :-)

    And then it sort of satisfies me to look at the stories at thedailywtf and see that I'm not alone.

    Oh, and I find troll Boris far more amusing than troll Nagesh.

    But troll Boris is lazy... He doesn't even have the fake accent down.

    Now Nagesh, he's a real pro. He's got the accent and the labotomy/retardation going on!

    News update: there is no need for accent when typing. Also, using Firefox any spelling errors are caught automatically. You should download, as you mispelled "lobotomy."
    Out of curiosity, how do you spell "misspelled?"

    I resign being called a troll!

    makes angry face

    Note: i have nothing against trolls as long as they continue to add entertainment to content. i mean lets face it we don't come here to just read these articles. all of us are facing and experiencing several such situations in day to day work life. we come to comment.

    Boris (assumption you're from Russia), it is dangerous to have Nuclear Power around period. Look at Chernobyl and Japan.

    Three Mile Island also comes to mind, as does Windscale. And India of course has Bhopal to brag about. Yes I know it's not "nuclear".

    You do know Bhopal cuased by EverreadyBattery company "union carbide"

    And not really Indian. Union Carbide was an early adopter of outsourcing/offshoring. Maybe the crap code some Indian companies ship to the USA is just a kind of revenge?

    Indeed - and 165 squared is simply 11 squared times 15 squared, both of which you should know by heart, so 5280 squared is simply computed by multiplying 121 by 225 by 1024, which anybody should clearly be able to do in their head as easily as moving a decimal point 3 places to the right.
    Don't forget that you can write 121 * 225 as (173 - 52) * (173 + 52) = 173^2 - 52^2, so it gets even easier.

    Obviously one where we measure things in more than 3 dimensions...
