Someone likes Monty Python a bit too much up at Redmond.
Although it would go some way to explaining Vista...
(try 5)
Admin
TRWTF is that they have not forbidden the letter "R" in passwords ...
Good to make sql injections harder! (no DROP, no FROM, no WHERE) ;-)
Admin
Classic Monty Python in the IDE isn't a true WTF. That message is pure win!
Definitely seems like good motivation for QA: "I wonder if I can find a new allusion?"
Admin
We are the Knights who say "??????????????????????????" !
Admin
I don't think the error was thrown by the IDE but by the .NET Reflector, as the IDE was starting up. I could be wrong, though.
Admin
That message box was from Reflector, a 3rd party addin, not from Visual Studio. We do some silly stuff here in Redmond, but we can't take credit for that one.
Admin
Firefox-Making the impossible possible.
Admin
Was I the only one who read the error message in his head using Michael Palin's voice?
Admin
Yes, Since the “R” can be used for evil, we should ban all use of the “R”. You would make a great legislator.
Admin
Beats Sarah Palin.

Church of Microsoft (blessings upon the almighty Bill) seems to be thriving
Admin
Who does that? Todd?

There are actualyy three new countries on the list: "" "1/10/08" "10/30/08"
I can only imagine the awkward silence when someone asks a "" citizen "What country are you from?".

Comments with a n "m" in the 3rd position are not supported -- please choose a different comment.
Admin
The Visual Studio biblical "quote" is a clever variation on an old Monty Python skit.
Admin
Dude, Alex, comments on a blog aren't that complex, fix this damn thing... thedailywtf.com comment system is TRWTF... For this comment system, you should buy at LEAST a 5,000 SLoC BCO. This comment posting system is an undue inconvenience to billions of electrons.
(try 743, DETERMINATION FTW!)
Addendum (2010-03-19 15:10): And somehow after so many attempts to submit a comment, I forgot to include it...:
At least some people at Red Gate have a great sense of humor...
Admin
Do they speak English in ""?
Admin
What?
Admin
Admin
"'' ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in ''?"
Admin
No, they speak ""-ish in "".
The following paragraph is an example of ""-ish:
Admin
Dang. I shoulda known you guys would beat me to it.
Admin
Everyone repeat to yourselves: "I can't be Insecure without 'I'."
Admin
I've confirmed with a friend that the VS 2010 message is a funny bit from Monty Python the RedGate folks added to their .Net Reflector extension for VS 2010...an Easter Egg of sorts!

Admin
I bet 1/10/08 made an awesome vacation spot a couple of years ago.
Admin
Although it was a bit cold, it was better than 10/30/08... that was just miserable and rainy the whole time I was there...
Admin
Python? Yes Clever? Not really.
Admin
The real WTF is that nobody ever writes down the Monty Python quote correctly.
They always either write "being not in my sight" or "being naughty in my sight".
The correct phrase is "being naught in my sight".
Admin
He's our first baseman. Oh where's he from?
CAPTCHA: vulputate: is that even LEGAL in most states?
Admin
It's funny how the tone changes dramatically with "Five is right out." Thou shalt use one tone uniformly.
Admin
Admin
Admin
That "no I in the 3rd position" policy should be adapted for comments here. Would reduce the "FRIST!!1!" comments anyhow.
Admin

Admin
Comments with a character in the first position are not supported. Please choose a different comment while Alex works on a fix.
That should be the new error message.
Admin
Admin
No, it's definitely "naught" (or maybe "nought").
Admin
Admin
I can see the case for 'naughty'. If you were to write out exactly what he says phonetically, it would sound like "not yin...". There is a bit of a 'y' sound, but it doesn't get its own syllable. Any chance somebody has a link to the official script (or a genuine copy of the book of armnaments)?
Admin
Who wouldn't like to beat her? I jest! I jest!
Admin
We could call it the "Kiss your 'R's Goodbye" bill.

Anyway… do we have a Bwian here?
Captcha: Iusto use the lette ‘r’, but they banned it.
