    That's a 14-segment display, but otherwise you seem to be correct. I can't imagine how that can happen though, as that's a vacuum flourescent display, meaning all digits are together inside a single glass package. Maybe the driver output for the 11th digit blew.

    I only count 11 segments per character -- and the smudge on the glass over the position the "D" would be in appears strangely different in each of the images --

    I guess "between" must be exclusive for Netflix. Anyway, Yahoo Answers top answer is exclusive so it must be true. Even if MS SQL between operator is inclusive.

    Some random musings to try to convince akismet that this is not spam: Netflix allows you to view TV episodes and movies instantly over the internet! You can get started by entering your priority code.

    Thus demonstrating that including advertising in a post makes it NOT SPAM!!!

    The VFD can be made from separate single digit displays (that look like nixie tubes), so it could be a bad tube.

    Also, what's with the "double waiting time before retrying"? I mean OK, you do not want to overload the service or whatever, but wait a few minutes at most. BOINC had the same problem (maybe it still has it). If the project server (or your internet connection) is down for a day, then BOINC will wait another day before retrying.

    Specifically: it's a VFD, and the grid for the 11th position is not doing its job. Either a dead transistor in the driver chip, or a bad connection somewhere.

    They've gone batshit insane and decided to allow an infinite (for smaller values of infinity) number of TLDs. All you have to do is prove you're a trademark owner. So Bill Gates could get b@ms (assuming ms isn't already a country code -- I live in us, so I can't be bothered to worry about other countries).

    I saw their "server room" a few times in 2002. "Windowless oven" would be a better term. 110+ degrees in the middle of a northest US winter.

    And yet they wondered why someone had to come out every week to fix a problem with their optical disk jukebox.

    So, someone else mentioned that NVidia is probably worried you'll try to install their drivers through Wine. Then again, Wine is fairly easily detectable from the running code (and, as a former Wine hacker, I can tell you that was done on purpose). Just search for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine.

    So TRWTF is either that NVidia is running the wrong test for whether they are running on Wine, or the user added such a key by mistake.
