Hey sherlock. It's they're. The WTFery just builds.
Admin
TRWTF is that a search for dfgh returned a result that contained no 'd's.
(Unless you count the 'd' in dartington... which I don't)

That was my point -.-

What is beef paste? How do you get a cow in a tube? It sounds as bad as the creamed corn.
captcha: haero - Superman is a haero cause he can fly. Too bad for Aquaman.

That last one reminds me of how one of my co-workers always writes up help desk ticket descriptions.
CAPTCHA: 'letatio', hmmm sounds fun & a little dirty!

Ew. Toast.

"The're"? Wow you actually made it even worse. As usual TRWTF is in the comments...

TRWTF is the trackback. Novel way to spam advertising.

It should be "they're" ;)

I'm late, I know - sorry :(

Chin my ass.

I suspect that he'd rather not.

Ok. We all know what it means, but it does NOT SAY it. Since most Windoze users are clueless, they need to be told to run the FULL scan. Minor, but still a fuck-up.
Admin

You simply click the big orange "Scan now"-button, and it does the full scan...
If however the user thinks he's a clever one and chooses to do another Quick scan by selecting the option (okay, it is already selected) and hitting the small "Scan now"-button, he is ... well, it's not possible for me to describe that state of mind.
I have to admit, of course, that the information given to the user in that situation is a bit sparse, even though somewhere in the program it says that a regular full scan is needed for security reasons. But the course of action to be taken looks rather clear: Click the big orange button...

Entertaining as Photoshopped BSODs once were, it's not very convincing when you use a 9x one and claim it to be an NT based OS. Not to mention that XP and XPe just reboot when a BSOD occurs, so wouldn't be sat on the screen like that.

As said by Sammy, the "Quick scan" option is selected. Clicking what looks like a normal button supposedly brings the dialog up again afterwards.
Now think about this for a minute. If your AV complains that you haven't done a scan lately after you done a quick scan, why would they even have that option at all?
Admin
You may like to consider using Google more often. It's actually quite good at what it does.

Well in fact, the whole light in the train went out and the motors stopped, so we were just rolling due to inertia.

Did she ever return? No she never returned, and her fate is still unlearned! She may ride forever 'neath the streets of Helsinki. She's the Gran who never returned!
Admin
So, BSOD = Blue Screen Of Delay?
TRWTF: not having a fancy boot splash screen.
Admin
Try Again.
Perhaps you should double check what you spell yourself before you try to correct someone so arrogantly (Hint: The little red line under the word suggests that it's not English {US Style, at least})
Admin
Perhaps he meant: "There!!", <points wildly>, "Only $4.47 each!!"

Which is a normal safety procedure. Before computers, prevention of using two cabs at once was done in various mechanical or electrical means. At least one was that there was only one mechanical handle per locomotive that was used to control the motor or driving power. When switching to the other end's cab, engineer removed the handle and took it with him to the other cab.
Rebooting ad displays on the other hand are not due to buggy OSes or faulty computers. Trains regularly run to short unpowered sections separating power supply stations and must also open their master switch before that. If they drive slow enough, lights will flicker and info monitors reboot, if they don't have a secondary power supply from batteries.
Helsinki metro, where the picture is from, to my knowledge has not normally such neutral sections (due to its short length), but due to renovation work at one station, there was a short dead section where also the speed limit was much reduced. Trains very slowly rolled over it and thus made the info displays to always reboot there. Because there is not constant need for rolling over unpowered sections and info monitors were installed to 30 years old trains, perhaps batteries supplying them were not considered that important. And they do not supply any critical information, because station name displays are separated from them.

The ad screens have not crashed, they've been designed to receive over the air-updates from certain stations and the boneheaded way they've gone about implementing it is to REBOOT the screens everytime there's an update, in case the system software has been updated as well.

On a four-rail system like London Underground, gapping trains is much more common, because only one of the two live rails needs to be "missing" to break the circuit. On most Tube trains half of the lights in each carriage are fed from the shoes at each end of the train, so it's very easy to see when it happens.

Are you even aware of the fact that the ID of your comment equals the first few digits of Pi (disregarding the missing comma)?

Pic #4 is missing.

I strongly suspect they don't let an advertising agency run the metro.

Dartington College of Arts was actually subsumed into University College Falmouth a couple of years ago. 2009-10 was the last year the College's campus operated; all of its staff and students will have moved ~80 miles or so down the road to Falmouth for the start of the next academic year.
Perhaps they decided to blow their last ever advertising budget on something magnificently, despondently pointless.
