DELETE * WHERE ARTICLE LIKE WTF
Admin

FTFY
Admin
A DailyWTF WTF... now the world is complete!
Admin
Wow it's a meta-WTF!
Admin
null....
Clever, simple and to the point. A true WTF!
Admin
Sometimes null is all you got
Admin
Admin
Wow. Three pages and he hasn't fixed it yet? Or is it intentional...? Early April Fools' present?
And the real question: why did I read all three pages of comments, even though I could be quite sure they would contain nothing of value?
Admin
Admin
I'm so disappointed: came here to check out the latest article (and More!) but all I get is null.
Admin
So.. they DID remove it. And then the TDWTF DBA guy took a holiday. Figures.
Admin
Because they usually contain nothing of value. We knew that the same stellar quality would be upheld today.
Admin
Do none of you have jobs? Go back to work!
Refer to Directive 1 if you have questions.
Admin
Wow, TheDailyWTF gets its own WTF. lol
Admin
Here in Hyderabad it's Friday night already. My share of teh weekly codez is safely in production, I can rest!
Admin
The best part is that, if Alex decides to fix the article, he has to wipe all the comments for being completely irrelevant. Or he has to post a new article and leave this one up as a testament to how dedicated the readers are to analyzing a single word.
Admin
Admin
I thought that if I came back after a couple of hours it would have been fixed, but no. OTOH, at least it has less in the way of annoying obviously false details than the previous article.
Admin
(Yes, it's really a slow day.)
Admin
I can't spot the problem with this block of code? It passes my lint test.
Admin
Best WTF in 6 months!
Admin
Admin
Silly Anonynonymous, Alex runs on whiskey not coffee! Find a good twelve-year single malt, stat!
Admin
Like fish in a barrel. Also, have you heard that Android is shit?
Admin
null
Admin
Traveling, sure right. We know the truth node code bugs just operator error. Alex was probably smashed at the Corner Store Brewery again. --I miss Berea
Admin
Too true.
Admin
The Careline is not a WTF at all. They have every justification for cancelling your account if you don't pay.
Also, the gas station pic is clearly photoshopped, and badly at that. Zoom in on the top and right edges of the sign. The jpg 8x8 blocky artifacts have been smoothed out.
What is all this null talk about?
Admin
yes ! A truly amazing article!
Admin
Update null set null = null where null is null
I like to think I just made everything in the vast unknown just outside the envelope of human knowledge... slightly different. Or maybe this is a succinct way of expressing Heisenberg.
Admin
For this, the sound of one hand golf-clapping
Admin
Admin
If you exclude the parenthesised phrase, you get "I'm is TRWTF". Recursive WTF!
Admin
The real WTF is (fill in any language where it's written in lowercase instead of uppercase like the languages that Real Men program in).
Also, "Careline" is not a WTF. It's obviously something that resolves to "care line", I dunno, a phone number for a hospital or something.
Admin
Quick....we have to get him to surgery time right stat now.
Admin
Deliciously meta.
Admin
Umm ... a null string is not an empty string. At least, not in any language I know. A null string is a string variable which has an object pointer or handle of zero, or some other special value that indicates "no object". An empty string is a string object that contains zero characters. The two are completely different, and if you don't believe it, just try writing
Moral: If you're going to be pedantic, make sure you have all your facts unimpeachably correct.
Note: If there's a technical error in the above, that's okay, because I'm trying to make fun of pedantry, not practice it.
Admin
If so, trwtf is [whatever language you were talking about]. :p
And, yep. You're is definitely the real wtf. [sic]

I really wonder if "laskdfa ksd l;fajs;f dkfas;" is going to be an actual part of the article, or if it's just apuokvvlxdkvayhsdkjjznxcl
Admin
I really wonder if "laskdfa ksd l;fajs;f dkfas;" is going to be an actual part of the article, or if it's just another reference to the WTF'd up article.
Admin
There was me thinking 'null' IS the sponsor
Admin
This is perfectly valid javascript (useless, but valid):
Oracle SQL allows: NULL;
It's actually a useful construct at times.
Not sure that makes them trwtf. Not that either language doesn't qualify as trwtf at times.
Admin
Please tell me it was a Happy Fun cartoon.

Wouldn't have just said "null", instead of writing it out?
