First -> 最初 (Japanese) -> Primero (Spanish) -> i parë (Albanian) -> முதல் (Tamil) ...
Admin
There. FTFY.
Admin
This is the third time this week I've actually laughed out loud at TDWTF. Not as loudly as yesterday, which caused the heads of colleagues to turn towards me in annoyance, but it did invoke an audible chuckle.
These entries are humour at their very best.
Admin
Congratulations Randolpho! I always knew you were lipstick on a pig material!
Admin
trwtf is why this is the prize winner. so what, its quirky and humorous, its not a serious site. He probably just wrote it for the sake of writing it, i hardly think it qualifies. If this code was doing something more than driving a "quirky and humorous" site, then yea. But this smacks of lack of content to be honest.
Admin
Atlas, the entire point of the competition was to write something stupid. This is the definition of stupid. It's not a normal entry on TDWTF.
Admin
Atlas: TRWTF.
Admin
I'm lazy - is there a link to where this is being hosted so we can all play with it?
Admin
Finally. My master plan has come to fruition. 15 years ago everyone I knew questioned the wisdom of marrying Randolpho. "Is this a joke!?!" They asked. "Did you lose a bet!?!" They wailed. "Are his parents billionaires......and terminally ill?" They pondered. "Does he really wear a size 13wide shoe?" (Why yes. Yes he does.) They never suspected the truth. Tactical bacon, I did this all for you. Soon we will be together. Forever. Tactical bacon, I love you.
Admin
I hope we get the actual contest winner soon instead of more of these honorable mention winners. Don't get me wrong they are creative and evil but at least they tried.
Admin
I didn't want to do this, but here's a link to the big winner

Here you go:
http://ask-threepio.azurewebsites.net/
It's a free hosting, so suck up all my bandwidth while the getting is good. On the plus side, all of the music is hosted on Github rather than Azure, so you can listen to the Jukebox all day long and Azure won't complain at me about it. I confess I occasionally load it up and just listen to the Jukebox while programming; it's quite good at getting me in the zone.
Alex and everyone at The Daily WTF: Thank you for having this contest. It's not often a developer gets a thin set of goals and a wide green field to play in, and this contest certainly gave me that. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first one, and I look forward to the next one. (hint hint)
You're doing [insert deity of choice here]'s work, folks. :)
Bianca, my love, I always suspected you of harboring feelings for that bacon. We'll talk about this when I get home. :/ Ah, who am I kidding? I forgive you -- it's bacon, what's not to love?
Admin
Right or wrong, that's just how these contests were done a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Admin
What I'm getting here is that the point is not something you have much experience with.
Admin
you could have just acted indifferently towards this. you know. more "atlas shrugged."
Admin
Admin
damn. that is TRWTF. nice job!
Admin
I'm at work so I can't click that link. Some other unwitting pawn please do the honors. And if you would be ever so kind, write up a status report of where that veiled link goes.
Captcha: causa - Causa I don't want to.
Admin
I at the job too...but i have a serious doubt about it.
Admin
I asked five questions and each time he answered 'NO' So finally I wondered: "Is this a WTF?" Guess what the answer was :)
Captcha: ratis as in 'Ratis wat hij antwoordde'
Admin
Don't worry, it's totally work safe. Maybe not sanity safe, and definitely an old joke, but safe for work.
Admin
Back, at home... Confirmed! Safe and i like it! But i have sanity problem for real =)
by the way, grats for your title!
Admin
Here's another idea: make a program that uses every external service it can find. The user enters the question, which gets translated with Google Translate and back again with Bing translate, then gets rendered as an image using an online image processing service, then gets uploaded to Amazon S3, then transferred to Dropbox, sent by email with Sendgrid to an Azure server that OCRs it back to text, etc. until finally the answer is delivered by SMS to the user's phone.
The point of all this? The application would have this background and music and you'd see the process in real time, your question being one of the blue balls and each of the machines representing someone's server on the internet, never stopping, endlessly moving things around for no purpose. Now don't tell me that's not art.

TRWTF is that it has a jukebox. Talk about feature creep.
Admin
But it's good to have an "ideas man"....
Admin
"Should we invade Syria" translated as "Professional"
Wtf ??? (Ho, and that mean yes)
Admin
Extra points for the inefficient modulus implementation of isEven;-)

Kenny is giving me the stare, I can't even tell if he's mumbling. But he's persistant that's for sure, nice entry :)
Admin
My favourite terrible thing about this is that it's so slow computing an answer that I went to read other articles while I waited. The first answer happened to be given right when I checked back but the second one I missed and there's no way to see the answer if you're not looking at the right moment so...
Admin
the biggest WTF is that there is no demo (nor is the demo linked at github)!
Admin
I have remedied that. Thanks for pointing it out!
Admin

Outstanding! That's a ruthlessly honest copyright message, too!
