I'm almost 100% certain that "WasDog" is the result of a language barrier and the term "WatchDog".

I detest the auto-timeouts that are rampant on financial sites like that; any time I need to get up to use the bathroom, answer the phone, or get coffee, or even spend more than a momentary length scrutinizing my statement on the screen before clicking something to move on to something else, I get unceremoniously dumped from the site and have to log in again and re-navigate to the thing I want.
And yet, if the app didn't time out and you left it for a few hours only to come back and find your account empty, you'd be screaming for blood. Well, maybe you wouldn't, but someone else would and the bank would be found at fault for lax security.
Bank security is no joke. Security makes everyone's life more difficult/annoying, but that's part of living in a world where others will take advantage of you if you don't secure things of value.
When I'm at home by myself accessing a bank site, who am I being protected from when the session times out?

Just as a matter of interest, how is the bank site supposed to know that you're at home by yourself?

Maybe go back to your father's testicles. Or even better, re-become the protein contained in that egg your father has eaten right before begetting you, and make it so that this egg is a chosen one for fertilisation, so you never get born.

I once got kicked in the balls so hard my senses got fucked up. I lost color in my vision, sounds registered as smells, heard the pain as white noise. Not that it was pleasant or anything, it still felt like being impaled on a white hot poker. What's with that anyway?

Oh my god... if you click on the "Accounts" link, you get a login page... with a captcha that always has the same word (try refreshing). WTF!

Different word if you clear cookies, so not a WTF.

Uh, forcing you to clear cookies to gt a different captcha isn't much less of a WTF.

Yo fucksuck, I thought this would be another person, that was not intentional, go fuck your ass, boner. Your mother might become my father once I finger your anus, you homophobe sicktard, you anchovis.

I once worked with an EE guy who told this joke:

Any working program can be converted to a non-working program by removing or changing one instruction. By induction, we know you can reduce any working program to a broken program containing only a single statement. Therefore, you can create a working program by starting with the statement "x=0" and then debugging it.

TRWTF was that his code looked like he really did it that way...

That's how evolution built you.
How's that working out?

My prostate ended up right next to my colon for some reason, that's how it worked out.

Apart from the crap code I am not at all sure what people are going on about about, watchdogs are commonly found in embedded systems and reseting the watchdog is commonly called kicking the dog.

Hahahahahaaa! You saw your own post and thought it was somebody else! Perhaps you are a goldfish, and simply failed to recognize your own writing 12 seconds after you posted it?

I notice a certain amateurish obsessive repetitiveness in your choice of flames. Perhaps you could get someone to write you some new material. I also suggest that you use big words and perfect grammar. That should result in some interesting "dialogue".

Although I did quite enjoy the anchovy reference. Shame you fluffed it.

On the other hand, I wonder why I am replying to american trolls. On the gripping hand, I shouldn't be visiting american sites in the first place, and just ignore that dumbshit that comes out of your anu^H^H^Hmouth ...

On the third hand, I see that I have acquired a fanboi. Ah, sweet sweet impersonation, the sincerest form of flattery! I have no objection to living rent-free in your brain and your dancing clown application form is in the post :-D

a) OT: I am better at programming than anyone else b) the gripping hand is basically the third hand, so you should have continued with "on the fourth hand"
