    Instead of the error unhandled token, why not try a more generic name, like stack overflow?

    Yellow snow is snow someone peed on and this could be interpreted as a warning from "yellow snow" instead of a yellow warning from snow.

    That takes me back a decade or so... there exists a small linux utility for the season ("xsnow") which basically lets it snow on your desktop. You can set a wide range of parameters, among others you can set the color of snow. If you would set the color of the snow to "yellow", the utility would display a warning "don't eat yellow snow!"

    My guess is that yellow snow must have something to do with the weather phenomenon colloquially referred to as "pissin'".

    Yellow snow reminds me of this old joke:

    Mary complained to her mother that her boyfriend Peter peed in the snow and wrote his own name.

    • Why is that a problem, dear? her mother said

    • Well, it was written with the hand writing of his ex-gf Tanya

    The password doesn't necessarily make it WTFy - for example, if it's a publicly accessible file, which people have a tendency to accidentally edit (which does happen even with a prompt to open in RO by default. By having password protection, you have to actually want to edit the workbook, auto-pilot clicking can't take you into RW mode.

  • RakerF1 (unregistered)

    The yellow snow WTFry is based upon a song by Frank Zappa, where Nanook, an Eskimo, is warned by his mother to "watch out where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow".

    Said Nanook later rubs the yellow snow into the eye of a fur trapper who has attacked nanook's favorite baby seal.

    It's part of the "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow Suite" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_Eat_the_Yellow_Snow_Suite)

    Zappa wrote the song; the cliche probably dates back to the second day humans saw snow.

    Both Amazon and Netflix need to work on their output.

    They say they have like 234 titles in a given category, but every single time I scroll through I'll see the same titles appear again (regular), and again (HD), and again (Director Cut), and again...

    God forbid I'm browsing through the TV section. Season 3 of whatever will show 3 or 10 times itself.

    Also, what is wrong with ordering things by their actual release date? I honestly don't care when they were available on amazon, I do care about how old it is. Heck, I'd even go for a sort by name instead of the random way they come across.

    Outlook doesn't just show the item count for unread items. It can be configured by folder. IIRC, the search folders for emails over a certain size will show the count of all found items.

    Granted, that's a lot of items, and that count is probably wrong.

    NSA says hi.

    Rupert Murdock says hi. Oh wait, did he read the messages or just delete them?

    US Department of Justice says hi. They took documents that were created in 2003, which I gave to the FBI in 2005, and they destroyed the documents in 1990.

    Akismet says hi, and I don't even have any URLs in this message.

    US courts say hi. I get blamed for failing to find a time warp myself.

    Actually, for virtual folders like that (based on search results), Outlook shows the number of unread messages, not the total number of messages, at least by default, though it may be configurable somewhere.
