    Don't worry, it took me a while to find it too. Read the item's title again, carefully.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now I see it. Thanks for giving me a pointer in the right direction. It's amazing how my brain had totally recognised that as a different word and I couldn't see it as anything different - even on multiple readings.

    I still don't get why the Galaxy S4 one is a WTF :( I guess I am not as technically minded or competent as I thought.
    Yes, it's more like all the other Smartphones are TRWTF - they are so random and the iPhone certainly was a mistake. But the Galaxy S4 really is an intentional product of Samsung and it is good to know that!

    Obviously Google has upgraded their time zone code to indicate the time you perceive, rather than simply local time. If you intended to go to NY, but landed in Boston, it just feels like you landed in 1970.

    Yeah, because the ferry between Dover, UK and Ostend, Belgium, was taken out of service more than ten years ago.

    JetBlue has a solution for you!

    "In order for your package to be released please ensure that you have your calling card and ID available when collecting."

    So, they identify you via something that anyone with a computer (or local copy shop) can fake up in a few minutes, and then use your Gov't issued id to confirm? What if I don't use calling cards?

    US and UK - Two countries separated by a common language.

    Captcha: Amet. There would be a lack of amet-y if a business in my area tried to require something like this in addition to a legit ID.

    TRWTF is the Somerset town of Frome. I used to drive buses in Somerset and occasionally would get the Frome services. I would repeatedly get lost. It was a meandering trek through back-country lanes, squeezing between hedgerows and carefully negotiating around stone walls. I would abandon the kerbside wing mirror, it would be pushed aside by the first hedge and no point in adjusting it til back in town.

    Frome drivers were all malevolent psychopaths too, I recall.

    I think they mean the card that will have been left by the driver as nobody was there to sign for the parcel.

    Well, Epson is a Japanese company, so it is most likely that they didn't get everything translated to all the languages they distribute to. So it falls back to Japanese.

    Luckily, it is just an OK dialog box saying that it will update to the latest version.

    Or they translated it but used MFC.

    CWinApp::InitInstance loads wrong satellite DLL

    Or they're using Windows 7 Ultimate. On one PC I set my wife's account to use English, but when she's logged in and the mouse cursor hovers over the speaker icon in the notification area, the tooltip says スピーカー

    Wait, I'm TRWTF. スピーカー is English even when it's not written in Italian characters, just like sudoku is Japanese even when it's not written in Chinese characters.

    TRWTF is not using WSUS (which doesn't bother offering you the XP EOL notification application). (I don't know whether there's a way for XP to indicate that the EOL notification application is a part of the OS and should be uninstalled as part of the in-place upgrade to Vista.)

    April's so last month, though.
