He forgot to add this clause
WHERE Book.IsHoly = 1 OR ( udf_UserBelievesIn('SantaClause', 'ToothFairy', 'Creationism') = 1)There, I think that should cover it, no?

[quote user="PedanticCurmudgeon"] [/quote]What about modern books based on ignorance, superstition, torture and fear?[/quote] Obviously what the library needs is access to the CIA/FBI/DHS database on everyone, so that search routines can sort on the user's historical behavior and preferences, as some people weigh these variables differently than others.

This is the software responsible that runs the library: http://www.sirsidynix.com/
The availability of a free word/phrase search function is actually justifiable. What is completely bogus wrong is a) it is the default search mode at this library b) there seems to be no choice for a proper keyword search.
The library system is obvious from the pic, BTW.

Some people think anything written in book is honest truth.
One good example is Learn java in 24 hours. This is outright lie. I give this book to several people. Nobody has learn any java till now.
That is why book not always speaking truth.

Is that the standard developer training at your company?

Can you please try a little harder. Trolling can be entertaining, but it is an art form. Practice somewhere else and then when you have started to master it in a way which is enjoyable to read, come back and give it another shot here.
There is more to trolling than just saying something silly.

If you want a real programming-related puzzle, try Manufactoria.
*Perl!*pack('B*', $binaryComment)Like I said, not difficult at all; barely any time wasted. Indeed you did: Akismet isn't treating 1's and 0's as spam, it's just targeting comments at random, which is a theory with which I think many people here would agree.Admin

Not that there aren't plenty of better reasons to dislike Virgin Media, of course.

I'm not sure I see the wtf in the library search. They all seem to be about some form of "bible" except the Berentstein Bears one, and based on the subject, I wouldn't be surprised if the full description mentioned the Christian bible.
Admin
Mind you, I haven't had much exposure to them since I was a child myself, so I suppose it's possible they've changed.
I'd be less surprised if there were a user review from some parent complaining about any discussion of morals that doesn't mention the Christian bible.

If it takes more than 24 hours to learn java you're reading the wrong book.

As it turns out, all sin at its root is caused by a lack of trust in God's goodness. Humans are most likely to make such foolish choices when we are afraid. Hence, God's frequent repetition of that command.

Well, I'm fluent in spoken Python, though I have trouble with the spelling and punctuation. Also, I speak a bit of Haskell with a bad procedural accent. I can pass for a native speaker of PHP, though.

Good thing the Old Testament has been mostly deprecated, then. All the plagues and telling people to rape, raid and pillage could be considered a bit scary.
WRT the search results: Where's the WTF? The search query was very unspecific. The lack of stop words aside, there are millions of possible bibles the user could have been looking for. Without context, it's pretty hard to guess what the user meant.
