No wonder that time feels familiar. It is the unix epoch minus one day. Maybe some system accepts signed numbers in a timestamp or something?

KattMan:
one of my favorite ingredients in the list of potted meat, "Partially defatted beef fatty tissue". I have to ask though, how do you partially defat fat? Do you cut it in half and put one half in one can and the other in another can? Isn't that still fat?

Partially.

Is "leather" a beef by-product?

Do we really need a new error'd every time someone converts -1 to a uint32 or uint64? It was a WTF the first few times, but it's not a WTF the 65535th time.

You must mean the -1th time.

Outstanding! The US Post Office finally delivered my college scholarship application. Just in time to start receiving my Social Security checks. Maybe I should go back to college for that degree.

If you're hungry for anything from C.M.O.T. Dibbler, you've had too much to drink.

The problem isn't Cut Me Own Throat - it's that the true essence of the sausage, the sausagidity, as it were, is removed from the sausage as it cooks. Thus, the smell of sausage cooking is always better than its actual taste.

TRWTF is that apparently some users of our time would rather use their cell phones to take awful quality pictures of their screens with diablo 3 instead of just taking taking a screen shot.

What do you mean screen shot? And can I transfer it to my phone? You know, the one I never use to make phone calls?

Note: That number is 2048737 less than 2^64, which is to say, it's just a little under 210241024 less than 2^64. 48,415 is a plausible (though large) number of items for a mailbox...

And which is definitely missing in your post.

I can think of nothing more frightening than riding a coaster into BSOD....

I do search for C.M.O.T Dibbler and result come as Terri Pratchet.
Yes, and you should read his books. They are entertaining and humorous.

I am serious person in real life. Reading is for folks who can not accomplish much in life. Great leader of world never read too many books. Ask Chairman Mao or Mahatma Gandhi. They write book and create revolution. I also not have much time to read. I am current reading .NET architecture 4.0 book and also Expert ORacle one one by Tom Kite. Both are good books.
Humourous books is not style of Nagesh.

Reading is for people who can't accomplish much and you;re reading TWO books. At least you're getting there in a hurry.

But do you really want to know what's in the other half?

I don't wish to be a pedant, but you'd go to C.M.O.T Dibbler for TempText4 inna bun. To get TempText4 onna stick you'd better head over to Omnia to see C.M.O.H.O. (Cut Me Own Hand Off) Dhblah.

Obviously, as most of the sensation that people describe as taste actually is smell. The taste sense consist of five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and umami.

Do the test and try eating something while blind-folded and your nose completely blocked.

Pretty much anything in a British sausage counts as a mystery ingredient, even if they tell you what it is. e.g. "British pork". OK, but where exactly in the pig did this come from?
((Flameguard: I'm British, so it's fair for me to criticise British pseudo-food.))

The Scottish just call it Haggis ;)

No pig in a haggis, it's sheep that are used.

And, yes, pretty much every bit of the inside of a sheep.

The real WTF is Clojure.

I've had the same epiphany reading the label of "potted meat". Contains things like "beef heart", "beef cheeks", "beef lips", and so on, but at the bottom of the ingredients is the single word "pork".
I figure there's a regulatory reason they spell out all the odd bits of cow in detail, but "pork" apparently covers everything from the squeal to whatever makes the tail curly.

It means: We make wholesome potted meat out of these particular delicacies of the bovine beast, but we don't want to waste it on foreign-religion food-faddists so we're writing "pork" on the side to put you off.

IE was not being indecisive. It's quite clear from the message that the key size must be undefined, no more, no less.

Since no number is "greater" and none is "less" than undefined, any number should do. The fact that the message box has even been made is an epic WTF.

Capcha: usitas - as in "usitonurasalldaylong."
