CLOSED_WORKSFORME
Or rather, it did 5 minutes ago.
Admin
Must be a wrong number...
Admin
Paula's brillance knows no bounds.
Admin
The correct link is http://thedailywtf.com/articles/error-version-16
Also, really? A necro alert? When did Paula post this one?
Admin
The answer is like one screen up, without any loading...

LALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOUUUU <Take my body!

Probably running on Linux hardware
Admin
Did Paula went back in time or Twitter is really slow for the past 15 days?

Luke is able to install on as many "physical hosts" as he likes, so long as none of them is a "Physical Server". I'm not sure why a Physical Server isn't a physical host, but there you are.
Maybe it's from the same school of Chinese philosophy that asserts that "a white horse is not a horse".

The important thing is that 0°N 0°E, which is more than 300 miles offshore, has 11mbit internet service for sale.

It is truly a good thing that the Greenwich meridian happens to intersect the equator in the open sea. I bet there are nuclear missiles targeted there.
Admin
Maybe you can install it on clients but not servers?
Admin
Or desktops but not servers
Admin
Who's got a dirty mind? I buttumed that meant "No Nooner", as in, no going home for lunch for a quickie.

The Lloyds one isn't really a WTF is it? If some one has managed to get into your bank they cant transfer money out without having access to your phone...
They hide the digits so as to stop unauthorised people getting hold of your number and using it as another way of carrying on their nefarious activities...
Secondly, the being located off the west coast of africa is quite common if you get your long and lat the wrong way round, we spend a fun few days watching out fleet of company bin wagons pottering round in the sea when the company that supplied the trackers screwed up their data feed to us a few years back.
Admin
You don't think censoring some of the digits of something that isn't a number isn't a bit of a WTF? Admittedly, a better solution doesn't spring to mind immediately.
Admin
Is it a known fact already that external images are broken in comment previews?
For example, the source of the image in @Maciejasjmj's post is

.Hmm.. let me check something:

I fail to see the :wtf: in this:

It's just Canonical's ™ new Pictionary™ Input Field!

As shown by BBC and HomeDepot, TRWTF is using Windows for digital signage
Admin
I've been trying to find alternatives for this for ages actually! What software do you recommend?
Admin
Good luck drawing with a keyboard though, amiright? :stuck_out_tongue:
Admin
Depends on your requirements. What do you want to display ?
Admin
Ideally an HTML5-based slideshow with websockets. I tried getting Chrome to work on Linux with the hardware I've been provided, but you can see the framerate drop to about 1 in 20 seconds once it finally loads up.
... My hardware isn't all that good, 1 GHz proc, 512Mb Ram, No PAE (It's an older x86 processor). Runs Windows 7 well enough, with complications...
Admin
ChromeOS? That'd be my crack at it.
Admin
ChromeOS usually isn't compiled for non-PAE CPUs though. :(
Admin
http://getchrome.eu/download.php ?
Admin
With that limited hardware I would try running bare X window and loading only Chrome in kiosk mode.
Let me know if you need help how to do that
Admin
Admin
I'll try that!
Admin
Of course, dev time ran out and we needed a solution now, so I ended up provisioning five of my IBM T42 laptops in Windows to do just that. Made a quick batch file, set it as shell, and Boom! Instant digital signage. Kinda. Apparently Chrome's "Website is offline, try to reload when possible" functionality doesn't work right at the moment in Kiosk mode :wtf:.

If you want, I can easily build a Webkit-based fullscreen browser with Qt, and make it so that if the page fail to download, it will retry in a couple seconds.
And since it's build with Qt, it can be compiled to run on Linux, OSX or even Windows. You could even run it on a Raspberry Pi.

Being located off the coast of West Africa is quite common when your data is shit.
Admin
Or when you're using GoLang.
