Error'd features fun error messages and other visual oddities from the world of IT.
I don't know which is more impressive; Tyler M's phat pipe (I promise to never say "phat pipe" again), or that he finally found a site that could serve files fast enough to justify his huge bandwidth bills.
Wesley D. was glad he checked the weather before going out for a cup of coffee. "Partially cloudy downtown with some scattered showers. We're seeing high 60s, low 70s throughout most of the area. If you're up in Alpine, we'll be seeing temperatures around three times the boiling point of water, so you may want to stay in to prevent your flesh from completely melting off your body."
Poor old Mark. Good guy. Kept to himself. Showed up day in, day out, writing documentation for SQL Server 2005 until one day when Sterling L. broke into his office, bludgeoned him to death with his own keyboard, and disappeared. Mark was committed to his company, though, and in his dying moments barely managed to finish typing "Service Pack 1 as part of the installation."
I know, I know, the real WTF is TheDailyWTF.com's CAPTCHA software. Har har. Just be glad we don't use patterns as long as this one that B. P. found.
Paul D. exposes the cutthroat nature of the grocery industry. One supermarket runs a sale on ground beef, then the store across the street has it even cheaper, and so on. Meijer pulled out all the stops and basically said "screw it, half a million off. What now, jerks?"
Dan F.'s copy of Half-Life 2 will be done uninstalling in 16 days. Valve had originally planned for the uninstaller to work in 10 minutes, but they hit some snags and were forced to delay. By contrast, Duke Nukem Forever will take just over a year to uninstall.
Peter T. had, a fantastic time of the entertainment which tried to decipher what required this vigilant case of him. He could calculate towards outside, although, which it checkbox would prevent that different alarm time appears.
It's time to add a new series called Error'd and retire a classic (Pop-up Potpourri). Like Pop-up Potpourri, Error'd will feature fun error messages and other visual oddities from the world of IT. But instead of being a monthly feature, Error'd will be published every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And as always, don't hesitate to send in your own Error'd screenshots and photos.
Online shopping is great. If you need a large quantity of something, you're likely to have better luck online than in a traditional store. For example, say Danny G. wants to fill his Olympic-sized pool with memory pills - he can simply order 72,489 bottles from Amazon.com (you may not want to click if you're on dial-up). Hopefully he'll qualify for free super saver shipping.
