Mark made a mistake! Hah-hah!
[image]Let the bashing begin!
Admin
At least mention @mark_bowytz instead of talking behind his back.
What kind of barbarians do you think we are? You should be using zsh.Admin
Am I the only one who can't_read_at_the_same_pace_when_there_are_underscores instead of spaces between words?

And for my comment on the article: "80030184" looks to me like a failed HRESULT of some sort. Putting on my Internet Search Googles didn't help decode it, sadly.
As always, provide something less meaningless to the end user, and log it behind the scenes, dudes!

I use
fish
which I classify aszsh
for terminally lazy. Does that count?Admin
BASH was good enough for my grandpappy* and it's good enough for me!
* not really. my grandfather wouldn't have known what a terminal was if it bit him in the ass

Dell Password: did the "too long" message appear after the first attempt, and only the current length is updated in real time?
Dutch postal codes: As German postal codes are exactly 5 digits long, someone already took account for the Dutch market. That person just forgot to allow for Hex digits.
Australian National Maritime Musuem: TIL where the blue-ish screen background comes from since Windows 95!
Avignon: I think this reveals the real reason to take the key combo Control + Alt + Delete is that you have to be in Control of the Alternative Pope to Delete him.
Admin
I think my grandfathers would have forgotten that too, if some family member had bitten them in their asses.
Admin
... are you saying i'm related to a computer terminal?! :tangerine:
Admin
Are you not a cyberfox?
Admin
Does that mean you're comparing oranges to bananas? On an Apple machine, maybe?
Nobody mentioned a computer terminal so far.
(I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you actually turned out to be a Terminatrix, though.)
Admin
only because i wear cybernetic underoos
Admin
It could be fun when MediaMarkt is going to (try to) allow British postal codes...
Admin
They're not hex digits. It's
[1-9][0-9]{3}[A-Z]{2}
Admin
"Not the greatest, not the worse..." - WORST, grr :grimacing:
Admin
Looks good, but doesn't seem to support RPROMPTs :sadface:
Admin
Nevermind, it does:

Now I've got a shiny new toy to play around with.
Admin
Please don't take everything I say in this forum at face value.
Or should I rather say, And I thought the Dutch were taught Hexadecimal at school like we're taught Decimal?
Admin
Why, naturally. After all, a hex number requires less ink and paper to write down than a decimal number :trollface:.
Admin
Less paper, I'll give you that one. I'd have to see an analysis before I'd concede the ink one.

Admin
I read it in robotic monotone, for some reason.
Admin
Dell Financial Services is similar (I think may have a 14 max character).
Then had the nerve to lock me out for too many login attempts because I was incorrectly using the Dell login.
Admin
If you confuse them with their parent company, they don't want your money. Can't say I blame them.
Admin
Baloney. He'd've known it was the thing that bit him in the ass. And if someone then told him the thing was called a "terminal", then he'd know what to call it, too@
Admin
I feel triggered, for some reason...
;P
Filed under: Not all robots can speak, and of those that can, not all speaking robots speak monotonically
Admin
Her statement does not imply either of those. However, it does imply that robot monotone can be distinguished from human monotone, and this is the implication that I find triggering.
Admin
Triggered from a mis-fired trigger? It's dominoes all over! (trigger warning)
Admin
Those are fun. Try talking about them sometime with a real postal systems geek to get the full rant treatment…
Admin
hmm.... okay, but given he's burried up at Small Gods these last ten years, he sure as shooting wouldn't know now
Admin
Can I blame it on LastPass...since LastPass shows both logins for each site?

recording20160318170242.amr (4.7 KB) Hmm, I doubt it would embed amr recordings... Eh, whatever.
Admin
I think this is venturing into the realm of TMI.
Admin
Not for me :smile:
Admin
Well, the ones 👴 wears are for waste management. Ponder the TMI value of that!
Admin
I dunno what that white-on-green "9/16" is supposed to represent, but the visible part of the paragraph above clearly says "Password must have between eight and twelve characters".
Admin
TRWTF is a $17 cloth bag
Admin
I would have thought that there are only a small number of decimal numbers, such as 111, which would take less ink than their hexadecimal counterparts.
