    The real WTF here is what the hell you people have done to your machines that makes them so inefficient when loading that site. Opera renders it in a few seconds and doesn't hog either the CPU or the memory. FF takes a little while, sure, but it's really just halv a minute or so and while it does hog the CPU for a little while, memory consumption topped at about 100mb. IE however is another story, it just keeps going and going and going and going. Like a regular energizer bunny. But you know, less efficiently.

    Firefox on my machine had no problems, although maxed the cpu for about 20 seconds.

    The real wtf is how a mere 4MB of text file takes Firefox forever to view source. Also that one busy tab seems to hang all the others. And also the fact that Firefox hasn't been able to display the file save dialog on my machine for about 6 months, and always hangs. No right clicking and 'save picture' for me.

    Did I tell anybody how much I hate Firefox? But IE scares me too much to use it with all it's little tentacles entwined in the system.

    Firefox is kinda fast, but is a framework to build stuff (extensions, etc). Is not Firefox that is slow, Is what you do with Firefox. FF whas born as a lightweigt and fast version of Mozilla, with the bloated removed. But able to add again the bloated. People that use Opera hare happy, and have a limited set of extensibility to mimic the incredible powers of FF. So, If FF is slow to you, try Opera. I will continue with FF.

    The qualifier for the drop down box says that processing "takes an additional 4 to 5 days". This was the disclaimer for the amount of time required for the UI response to depressing the down arrow on the drop down. Pretty good warning. Accurate also.

    Comes out to around 4.4 million dollars.

    And with a shipping weight of around 8.8 ounces each, it's 55 thousand pounds (27.5 thousand tons).

    I wonder how many truckloads that is...

    Only about two truckloads actually. You could maybe even cram it all onto one big truck.

    or half of a really big one.

  • lmodllmodl (unregistered)

    The real, real WTF is that I did some math... if the bottles are packaged in 3INx3INx6IN boxes (big pill bottles) then each box takes 54 cubic IN. 99,999 boxes would use 5399946 cubic inches assuming an 8 foot tall, 6 foot wide trailer, you would need a little over 65 feet of trailer space. I'm guessing the bottles are actually closer to 2x2x4, at which point you only need a bit over 19 feet of trailer space.

    It seems that its not the single WTF from above page. Quote from page source:

    /* Version 0.4 - Simon Willison, March 25th 2003 -- Works in Phoenix 0.5, Mozilla 1.3, Opera 7, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 5 on Windows -- Opera 7 fails */

    looks like developer who wrote this could not decide whever it works or not :)

  • doc0tis (unregistered) in reply to Stooge

    @Stooge,

    That is almost exactly 1 truckload. Weight restriction range between 45,000 and 55,000 pounds depending on which province/state you are in (I am using North American information).

    But if the truck is completely full before you reach your weight restriction, it may take more than one truckload.

    LOL. You could say that about any program. It's not that windows is slow, it's what you do with it - compare a fresh XP install to one that is a bit older ;-)

    Anyway, I'm just having my little winge session about FF - the file dialogs not working kinda bugs me, and upgrading to 2.0 didn't fix the issue. Probably nothing short of a system rebuild will fix it. I just needed to vent.

    I only got two plugins installed anyway.

    Wow. I thought my internet connection was fast (on a bad day, I get 9 mebibits, on a good day, I max out my 100mebibit card). It still took longer than 3 hours to load (after three, I sigkilled it and went back to some useful work. Like tetris!)

    Oh my goodness ... someone still using Mac OS 8/9 and MacLynx? I thought I was the last OS 9 user left on the planet :) (Not quite ... but I don't have MacLynx on my StarMax these days.)

    Funny, if this site can crash the likes of Firefox, I'm impressed that MacLynx didn't bring Mac OS down in flames with apologies for a System Error.

    Actually, way back when, there was this adorable site called crashme.com, that displayed a big LED countdown and then proceeded to crash the system. I ran it in Mandrake Linux with KDE 1 and before long, the system was hung. Tried it in Mac OS 8.5, the browser got annoyed and fell over and the system survived. I miss that site.

    I used to have this problem. It mostly went away though, when I cleared my downloads history. Now I have it set up to clear it automatically on exit.

    Close. I'm stuck with Mac OS 9 at work; but that's not MacLynx. It's NTFS Telnet connected to a remote terminal running the most current, stable release of Lynx on a Sun server--the fastest, most reliable web surfing possible on Mac OS 9.

  • Daniel Beardsmore (unregistered)

    You mean NCSA Telnet? :)

    But yeah, the Web in 9 is ... a little bit old now. Pity

  • echecero (unregistered) in reply to Daniel Beardsmore

    Heh. Yeah. NCSA. I renamed the app to "Telnet" a long time ago, and have mastered the art of finding something else to do while a program is loading (or closing...it's amazing how much time it takes for programs to close...).

    The IE 5 that's on the machine can get around alright, but until I turned off style sheets, many websites were inaccessible, and any site that used any significant amount of CSS would bog the whole machine down and quickly fill the memory. Until thedailywtf.com's recent re-design, it wouldn't even load the comments pages. Thus, Lynx, my savior for any real web surfing. Thankfully, I first surfed the web with Lynx, so not only did I think of it when IE became more of a hindrance than help, but was familiar with it.

  • Daniel Beardsmore (unregistered)

    hm, I never considered IE 5 to be fat or slow. But it's unstable and keeps crashing the system. The more recent iCab 2 builds were rock solid, but CSS support was bad.

    NCSA Telnet's problem was that it takes forever to build a list of available fonts (!) -- enabling font list caching speeds it right up. This applies to all its derivates such as v3 and MacSSH.

    But if you add or remove fonts, the cache is invalid and the program crashes harmlessly on load (has to be force quit) and the preferences wiped before it will ever run again. I don't know if zapping the STR#s 4000 "Good Fonts" and 5000 "Bad Fonts" would reset the font cache and prevent a crash?

    Bundle of little WTFs, that program :)
