    So, is Target trying to say that, in some way, shoes are actually gloves for your feet?

    Nope, it's the other way around. Germans teach us that gloves are actually shoes for your hands.

    If you really feel insulted, you should do as they say and look for legal advice into that manual.

    But if you're in a different country, $6.99 may be a lot cheaper than the mobile phone's data cost for downloading all those maps. No idea how much that would cost, though, in either bandwidth or money.

    The weather one makes me vaguely sad, first that someone sent it in and second that it was posted. The weather service issues updated warnings as weather conditions change/persist, and the app dutifully reports them as they come in. It's even probably that if you read the full bulletins the covered areas changed.

    It's not the apps' fault they weren't noticed as they came in.

    Download maps at home. Costs nothing and is a lot quicker.

    Part of the WTF-ness of $6.99 is that a couple of weeks of that, and it would be cheaper to just buy a GPS unit.

    The Oracle one seems to be par for the course. I've always thought that the only people who really like Oracle are people who see themselves as better than everyone else. Hence the decision to never develop a half decent Administration tool. Who needs a GUI when I've already got a command line, right?

    Oracle sucks. That is obvious.

    I'm not really sure what you are talking about.

    First, the error comes from the database and the only thing SQL Developer does is display it.

    Also, of course the cause of the error is obvious, it told what is wrong with the statement twice already! Fix the statement and get on with it.

    So, the sunglasses will cost somewhere between $7-$35 in today's money if you wait the 24 years to buy them. That's really a savings of between 75% to 95% ...A good price. I don't see the WTF.

    What I'm talking about is that there is an aura of smugness associated with Oracle, and that error report seems to support the stereotype.

    Not that anyone should get worked up about my personal opinion. I hate working with Oracle, but your experience may vary.

    It's OK about the sunglasses. I'm sure that the new ones will probably wear out within the next 24 years. And by that time, $69, with inflation, will be an even better buy!

    What a bunch of wimps. So they were insulting. So what?

    One of the utilities I used to use actually punished you for using invalid options. We're talking whips and chains here...well, not literally but, paraphrased:

    The REPORT option is not supported for this device type. I will therefore assume you meant to use the option UPDATE ALL, which precludes all use of the system for the next 45 minutes. Time sharing users will not be able to save their files or even log off. And don't even think of shutting the system down; if you do, I'll make you reload all files from tape. Accept it: everyone will know you screwed up! That will teach you to read the manual first, you incompetent moron!
    Now when that happens to you after using an invalid option, then you have something to cry about.

    Humans are orang. Orang utan and plain orang morphed from a common ancestor. Maybe the missing link was George of the Jungle.

    On a similar note, I discovered that Future Sound of London and The Future Sound of London are different groups according to Spotify.

    The kicker: the "The"-less entry has album covers which clearly display the group's name as "The Future Sound of London".

    Agreed. Either I don't get it, or it's not a WTF. Weather prediction is a non-exact science, and so warnings issued may change - including with the time the warning extends to - as more information comes to hand. In fact, it's exactly these updates that cause warnings to be reissued.

    Maybe I've missed the point, but assuming it's the time changing then I really don't get it....(although issuing a warning to 5:22 and 5:48 is very specific for a non-exact science like meteorology).

    Hmm...

    They say x/0 is undefined, because you can't get x value out of multiplying by zero. Division is defined by multiplication.

    However, anything * 0 = 0.

    And last time I checked. (x^2 - 1) where y = 0 is +1,-1. So math equations can have multiple answers.

    Therefore, 0/0 = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1.1,1.01, and so on.

    but then again, .99999999 repeated = 1.

    And they say math is a concrete thing...
