that's the first thing that came to mind for me too.

Allow me to explain: sometimes women "douche" (or clean if you like) in their special place. The backwash (including all the nastiness, bacteria, etc. they were cleaning out) *can* sometimes go into a bag of sorts for later disposal.

Um, I don't think that you've got that quite right. I could be wrong, being, as it were, not a chick, but I think if you asked an actual female person whether she'd ever placed the "backwash (including all the nastiness)" in a "bag of sorts for later disposal" you might learn something new.

Same thing here, not a chick, but dude, just trust me on this one... I'm not saying all of it goes back in, but some of it can accidentally go back in the "bag", which is used to "apply" it. Let's just leave it at that, really...

They don't dispose of it? Do they drink it?

Yes, for the love of God and all that is holy, please.

I see... your original description suggested a special bag, purpose-made for collecting the effluvium, which seemed like one of those strange misunderstandings that one acquires in childhood and carries around unquestioned throughout one's life. Not that I've ever had one of those, mind you.

Herby:
Zeros and Ones take up different sized space. I sometimes wish for everything to be a monospaced font like it was in the 60's.

Hmm, I thought all numerals were supposed to be the same width even in proportionally spaced fonts; otherwise, lining up tables of numbers doesn't work.

1234567890 1111111111 0000000000

It depends on the font on your comptuer of course, but does that line up for you? There's no monospace / code tags here. Not that I put in anyway.

Check. Added "vaginal effluvium" to "Topics not to be discussed".

Though, come to think of it, I think that Vaginal Effluvium was the name of the third band on the bill when I went to hear the Little Snatches of Death and The League of Extraordinary Women Voters. (I think Cunt Chocula was also supposed to be on the bill, but they couldn't make it)

Two things to never do while reading TDWTF:

Eat
Drink coffee (especially for those who can have coffee coming out of "several" orifices)

Wow, and all this without the "help" of zunesis.

What, are you gay?

You say you love women, but how can you love something you don't truly know? Shouldn't you be at least a little curious about those little things in their lives that you remain ignorant of?

Perhaps the only way to really appreciate womanhood is to experience it yourself. Come here and let me use this douche on you. We can save the used liquid and you can splash it in my face while I touch myself.

Actually, I did kind of start it. Guess I should learn more about how douches work. I've always wanted to try one.

I should pick up a kit and a syringe - I wonder what it would be like for the "used" fluid to be injected straight into my viens... "heaven"? No ladies around, so I guess I'll try it out on my dog

OK this is BOGUS. You can't just go out and find something on the web somewhere and claim you found it "in the production environment" and send it to TDWTF as if it's your own. This is clearly from MazeSmith, and considering it's Javascript from 2005, it's not even that much of a WTF.

I remember when they first showed his smiling mugshot on TV, I just blurted out "This guy's my hero!" and my mother looked up from her crossword with this weird look. I didn't know what she was thinking, but just in case, I made an example out of her cat. BY FACE-FUCKING IT TO DEATH! HA HA HA!

Anyways, maybe FBI surveillance is just what I need. I have people paying attention to me 24/7 and I can do all kinds of weird shit and they'll have to watch.

Imagine - one day I come home carrying a mannequin, a chainsaw, a case of lube, a dildo with a nail spike on the end, and some fried chicken. Just before I close the door, I toss the unlabeled white van across the street a saucy smile...

What do you need with the lube, when you've got the fried chicken?

I infer that there are professionals. Is there some sort of league or certification I can get into?

I'm told I'm already certifiable, so actually getting the piece of paper shouldn't be too hard.

Don't need marmalade for this procedure. Marmalade's only for the ass.

You don't even know what the fried chicken's for do you?

Some typefaces (such as the ones chosen for default use by web browsers!) might well work that way, but the problem is that for the vastly more common case of numbers not in tables you end up with ridiculously bad kerning.

Looks good on a webpage for general purpose use, looks like ass in a book.

The solution is to use monospaced typefaces for your tables (or software that will fake it up by doing one character at a time in a grid).

You wish.

Obviously, if you didn't overlook the fact that the dildo has a spike on the end, it's so I can stab the mannequin with the point of the dildo and suck the balls end at the same time. Fried chicken grease gives it more flavor (and because I like to think of it as a black man). The greased kitchen floor is so I can toss the running chainsaw around and have it bounce off the walls while also trying to protect my beloved (but short-lived) plastic lady from that danger, which gives one quite a thrill. Then, realizing what I've become, I chop up the mannequin with the chainsaw in a vain attempt to symbolically destroy my own perversions and just end up jerking off to regular porn (sweet release!). If mom's in the room, I just tell her: "Friday." and she starts obediently undressing whilst also cowering in fear, which I love. If anyone in the house has clothes on, it just ruins it for me.

Repeat every Friday evening.

Ugh. Comments like this make me go to stackoverflow and start helping people. See what you've driven me to!

I wish people would stop quoting the entirety of this very long post. It's a bit annoying.

You sir, have made my day. I would love to see the twisted logic to turn this string array into (I assume) some sort of bitmap mask.
banner FIRST | sed 's/ /0' | sed 's/#/1'

or something like that I would imagine

banner FIRST | sed 's/ /0/g'| sed 's/X/1/g'

banner FIRST | sed 's/ /0/g;s/X/1/g'

Less processes, more performance!

None of these will do what is intended (unless I'm missing the fact that they are all intended to not modify the output of "banner FIRST").

The correct form for a global sed expression is 's/text to replace/replacement text/g'

So the X should be #.

Even So, this will only make a start, the left most line will be 1's and the rightmost character in each line will be too....

It was only a two minute, quick 'n dirty perl script

(oops I said perl. Am I unclean now?)
I didn't even click on the link and knew it was some fag linking xkcd. It's not clever. It's not funny. Just the word "perl" with a link under it and the short, useless, one sentence post was all I needed to know that you were linking the cartoon where the programmers sword-fight on chairs (and iteratively one-up each other on how they could make a "frist" post using Linux utilities).

It was funny to read when it came out. It's even funny when clicking on the Random button on the site and seeing it. It's NOT funny when someone links to it from a one-sentence post and thinks they're so fucking clever to have discovered xkcd.

You probably still use lmgtfy and think you're so damn clever.

It means in real life, you're an unoriginal hipster doofus.

Got anything to do with sanitizing inputs to a SQL database, etc.? Link to Bobby Tables. Got a nerd-project slow-ass turing machine? Like a minecraft logic circuit from redstone? Link to the one where it's some guy alone in the world making a computer out of rocks. Got a story about password security or encryption? Link to the one where they beat the password out of the guy with a wrench.

Fuck off. You're not clever.

I found it amusing.

Perhaps, if you knew not just that it was and xkcd link, but the specific one, you should have been clever enough to simply ignore it.

Uhm, isn't the whole thing with Quantum Cryptography that Alice and Bob agree on a key that Oscar can never know (short of guessing), and that even if he manages to guess the key and decipher the message, his intrusion (even observation) is immediately detectable.

Slander isn't illegal if it's true, you douchebag! See what I mean?

Apparently, that's not quite true (he says without finding a contrary reference - in fact, Wikipedia out and out disagrees).

I remember someone telling me that there was a case where any question of truth in the statement was irrelevant, and that (in this case) a true statement was considered slanderous because of the negative affect it had on the plaintif's reputation, and the resulting impact on his life (and I thought it was a US example {other than Noonan v Staples}) Maybe they were wrong and were making things up, but I felt it importnat to share.

Slander isn't illegal if it's true, you collection of feminine hygiene products! See what I mean?

It is just not the same when you spell out what it is, is it?
Um, no, that's not what it is...

Allow me to explain: sometimes women "douche" (or clean if you like) in their special place. The backwash (including all the nastiness, bacteria, etc. they were cleaning out) can sometimes go into a bag of sorts for later disposal. Now, by me calling him a "douche bag", I wasn't calling him a collection of feminine hygiene products, believe it or not. I was saying that he was worse (or equal to) a bag of fetid, bacteria ridden, vaginal washing by-product.

I didn't know cunts were all that dirty....

Speaking as a doctor of jurisprudence, I can tell you that truth is an absolute defense to defamation at all levels of government in the United States. It already was under the Common Law of England, and then we went and enacted the first amendment on top of it, just to make sure.

The tricky part here is that it's an affirmative defense. This means that if you are sued for defamation, and you answer that the statement was true, you have to prove in court that it probably is true. Unless it's a public person, in which case they have to prove that it's probably false.

Addendum (2011-07-19 18:37): The other tricky part is that if you say the statement is true and the other guy says it's false, you're going to trial. It won't get dismissed. And just think about what a nasty trial that would be.

Not having ever been to the US, and not being able to find any examples to backup my claims, I am forced to believe you.

In order to make it faster, next time make good use of "banner"/"lpbanner" command with "sed".

The solution is to use monospaced typefaces for your tables (or software that will fake it up by doing one character at a time in a grid).

Or better yet, use an application that can use OpenType features that most pro typefaces are built to support, and kerns both ways (eg. in InDesign "proportional" or "tabular" figures).

If they're famous, they're guilty (of the accusation) until proven probably innocent?

And even at that point, nobody ever takes note of the fact that the accusations are untrue, at least not with the same vociferousness as with the original acusations.

Haha. Yeah, right. And which one of us would be ashamed if their anonymity were suddenly wiped away? Hell, you might even lose your job or be expelled from school or have to take a nap without your blankey.
