Not Possible!
(I'm sorry)
Admin
Actually, it is :
It communicates by protocol Mister.
But it got abbreviated.
Admin
I assume you were the guy who wrote it, then? :P
CAPTCHA: minim. I like palindromes.

The ancient cell phone wins-- wooden table.

It communicates by Protocol M or it gets the hose again.

What are Frubes? It's made by Yoplay so it's probably yogert. Is this how British spell Fruit maybe?
I don't know what it is but I don't think I want to eat one.
Admin
I feel for Jay. FootPrints is horrible software. Now if you'll excuse me, I think it finally finished opening my ticket for editing!

The first picture is using the surreal concept of safely storing the key to the safe in the safe.

The healthcare one is necessary because things like public terminals and internet cafes exist, or one might use the internet connection of a friend, etc. D'oh.
No, The Real WTF™ about that is a) users of e.g. Opera and Safari are once again forced to lie about their browser, and b) they expect John Doe to know which kind of encryption schemes his browser supports...

It's also labeled "Petit i filgus".
Is this latin for "Fill's you with poop"?
Admin
Would you like to subscribe to our new internet communication system. It uses the revolutionary Face-stabbing over Internet Protocol (FSoIP) to send your unexpressed feelings anyone on the internet.

Popular in childrens lunchboxes, they have been around for years.
Admin
Actually the first one may hide a bigger WTF than just the string replace.
I mean WHY does it not like double quotes? could it be that it is their (horrible) way of avoiding SQL injection I wonder?

Scratch everything else, that's my favourite Firefox theme in there!

Mission: Not Possible!
OPENING SCENE
CU Phone displaying "Not Possible!"
Phelps answers phone
We have invoked Protocol M. Your mission if you should choose to accept it is to pose as a student working at workforstudents.com. There you will make 13.65 per hour replacing double quotes with single quotes. You must gain access to the internet and steal their 128 bit encryption. You have been given a box of frubes. If you are discovered you will swallow them and die. This phone will self destruct in 5 seconds.

Winter was viewing the flyer with a Mark I Eyeball. Quicktime is currently not supported on that hardware.
Admin
Oh, they call that GoGert or something on this side of the ocean.
Admin
In the first scene we see putting price tags on a copy maching, removing the copies and putting them on a wooden table. As you pick up a digital camera to take a picture of what you just photocopied, irish girl walks by wearing spandex.
Admin
Jay here - you aren't lying. Since we've been "upgraded" and put on "top-end" hardware Footprints has managed to get slower and slower. My favorite is when it times out completely but only on the top and left frames*, leaving me with a 404 on one side of the screen and tickets still showing up on the main frame. And reloading the entire page doesn't fix anything - no, you have to log completely out, log back in, wait for it to crank and authenticate, then you can get back in. And their licensing is so expensive. I can't wait to move on eventually.
*Seriously, who uses frames in web-based applications anymore? Sheesh!
Admin
I'm not sure I've got a decompresser for uncompressed TIFF, either.
Admin
Thank you sir, for making my day. If I would have had a beverage in my mouth I would most certainly have spilt it all over my keyboard.
Admin
Frubes are a fruit flavour lubricant, marketed at children.
Admin
Here's one for ya:

That oughta do it.
Admin
"this thing is empty"
It's a very zen like error message, similar to "Life is a journey", "Time is a river" and "the door is ajar."
Admin
Frubes.. "Rip their heads off and suck their guts out!"
Admin
Hey, M, was this protocol by any chance designed by Q?
Admin
I'll write you one for $300.

(Black and white Sci-Fi movie from the 50's)
General: Where did it come from? What does it want from us?
Scientist: We don't know the answers to those questions yet, general. But we do know one thing.
General: What? what?
Scientist: (tense pause) It communicates by protocol M.

I'm not normally a spelling nazi, but yogurt does not have an 'e' anywhere in it. This can also lead to the assumption that the 'gurt' in GoGurt does not have an 'e' in it either. It's making my head hurt to see that misspelled word quoted over and over again...
immitto = Italian for "remove"

It's a fruit flavoured yoghurt in a tube.
Admin
FTFY.
Admin
I dunno about Crash Magnet, but I still don't want to eat one.
The idea of a chunky viscous liquid oozing (or worse, rushing) out of a soft flexible tube brings to the mind vague images of ... and then to top it all off, I'm supposed to aim it towards my mouth.
Suddenly my lunch isn't as interesting as it once was.
Admin
I came here for this. I can die happy.
Admin
Of course, even if you don't know the real spelling, it takes all of about 7 seconds to find "gogHurt" on the webs. For some reason, I think it was originally a brand name, but I don't want to spend another 20 second to find out for sure. Normally, I wouldn't be so pithy, but all the sidebar links give a completely blank page, so I am in a bad mood.
Admin
Damn it! You beat me to it.
Admin
And beat the crap out of one of them twice?
Admin
Admin
No, it's not. And no, it isn't, and no.
It's actually labelled 'Petits Filous', which is a French term meaning 'little rascals'. It is the brand name of a kind of fromage frais (which is also a French term, and the product is similar to yoghurt).
Admin
INCONCEIVABLE!!!
Admin
dangit.. you beat me to it.
Admin
FTFY :] Also, I lol'd.

I like this new shaw.ca method of distributed computing. I have applied it to my next project:
function GetFutureValue(principal, yearlyInterestRate, periods, frequencyPerYear) { // Determine effective interest rate effectiveInterestRate = prompt("What is " + yearlyInterestRate + " divided by " + frequencyPerYear + "?"); // Determine the base base = prompt("What is 1 plus " + effectiveInterestRate + "?"); // Determine multiplier multiplier = prompt("What is " + base + " raised to the power of " + periods + "?"); // Determine future value futureValue = prompt("What is " + principal + " times " + multiplier + "?"); // Done return futureValue; }Works for all data types: integers, rational, irrational & imaginary numbers, as well as strings, lists, arrays, files & other objects, and even functions! Way to go shaw.ca!
