I see the problem with the second one. It should be called "SelfHelp_Brain_WTF".
Displaying exceptions to the customer is a terrible thing. Exceptions belong in your logs. No exception.

Obviously you have to watch the video 2.6 times to be a sull expert on six sigma. Duh.

Daniel should be fine. 19mph is doable for a strong cyclist, then use the 2x boost that he just unlocked to reach the needed 38mph.
And to our final anonym, the article is a 3 minute read. The learning takes 8 minutes because you won't understand it for another 5.

On that bike one, the map makes it look like his location was shifting back and forth wildly at one end of the ride. That would drastically increase the total distance. I'd say the distance and time calculations were correct but it was fed GPS data that didn't reflect reality.

All readers so far have given up after 3 minutes.

I think Lyle was at Ludington State Park Beach with Big Sable Point Lighthouse in the background, in Michigan.

at ScreenSaver.ScreenSaver.Timer_Tick(Object sender, EventArgse)
So wait, this bulk-mail-sending app is running on a desktop with the screensaver showing? Please tell me I'm wrong (I'm not a windows guy).

Daniel's result is obviously with getting a good location fix in a steel canyon.
However, Google has a trip record for me that correctly figures I'm walking but in the ballpark of Mach 1. I wasn't in a canyon, either. (What it actually did is place one end of my trip in a certain forest. Then it concluded the location of that forest was the headquarters of it's management agency. It even shows the building rather than a forest.)

Um, where are you getting the idea that it sends mail? You can see from the eerie reflected images in the picture that it's a photo of a screen at the zoo, which I'm guessing normally presents tourist information and when inactive shows a slideshow of zoo-related media, or it may be non-interactive and only show the slideshow. Looks like that slideshow (implemented as a screensaver) crashed and this is the crash report.

That screenshot is from an information display sign at a zoo. Using the Windows screensaver as a way to display a rotating slideshow of informative messages seems sensible to me.
Not sure where you're getting a "bulk-mail-sending" app from.
