    TRWTF is charging an asses fee on an ATM amchine. You'd think that was part of the standard service.

    Bah. The banks have to assess how much they can gouge you for, before they actually come out with the amount. Kind of like how used car salesmen always open with the question "How much are you willing to spend?", so they know what sort of commission they are shooting for. Don't any of you know how banks work these days?

    Maybe its short for "an ass access fee".

    They just wanted to make sure that you have a copy that you can print out and tape to your monitor so that you don't forget your password.

    You could also argue that this is a security mechanism against someone trying to hijack your account and change your password without you knowing it, in which case there should be a link somewhere for reporting unauthorized password changes (which also allows you to set up a new password, which leads to yet another e-mail with your new extra-secure password for you to print out and tape to your monitor)

    That patient portal is so secure that they can't disclose the location.

    The first mispelling was intentional. Too subtle?

    Same notification sent to two (well, probably a lot more than two) different people, which two different people submitted it to tdwtf, and since Alex never checks for duplicate entries (another WTF altogether that has been reported many times) they both ended up on today's Error'd.

    No, I got that. I guess my response was too obvious?

    do I owe them nothing or not?

    Yes - as stated, you owe them $0.00. The good news is, you don't need to pay since the service is Free.

    All the Lenovo drivers seem to work that way. The installer you thought you were running was just an overly fancy archive extractor that extracted the installer to a temp^H^H^H^Hpermanent location on the hard drive.

    I wonder what the interest for $0 USD is going to be

    None - as stated, you owe them nothing. The bad news is, you need to have paid this in the year double-zero.

    Let me guess: The real WTF is Micro$oft Office. Amirite?

  • (cs)

    I'm missing something on the Office one. It looks like he has 32-bit Access installed, but 64-bit versions of other Office apps, and was trying to install one big Office suite over everything without uninstalling the others first. Doesn't seem like a WTF.

    I think he was trying to install MS Project over an Office installation. Project is not part of Office. And it is not unusual to have Access installation separate from office installations. Also, you should be able to install different versions of Office on the same machine. I have done this in the past.

    If so, then not a very good one. The programmer who designed it must be dumber than a bag of hammers.

    Ty: You take drugs, Danny? Danny: Every day. Ty: Good. Then what's your problem? Danny: <shrugs> I dunno...

    :-)

    More pertinently, perhaps - it looks like the amount of the fee overflowed the field, so I'd guess the fee is over $100. Thank G(h)od the bank isn't gouging you for using their effing machine!

    No you don't not owe them nothing. But dep has it backwards. They told you it was free, so you should have known you would be expected to pay $0.00. Don't blame others if you can't be bothered to read the fine print.

    Look, it's a pink tree. No one's going to want that in their yard, except maybe that zune retard. But once you get one you can't remove it: they tell you right up front DO NOT REMOVE. So I'd avoid it if I were you.

    Just like no two fingerprints are the same, no two installations of Lenovo Fingerprint Software are ever the same. So you may want to install it as many times as it takes to get a working version.

    Yeah, what he's doing sounds like an unusual edge case. Besides, you'd only expect major software vendors to bother with things like making installers compatible with various different configurations of their own previous products.

    Despite what you may infer, I didn't suggest anything - my correction only asserted that Outlook was responsible for removing the extra line breaks.
