I can't actually use the new forums. I lurk here at work, and work enforces IE8 only.
I just get a big yellow bar that says my browser is too old.

In some fonts, combined with my poor eyesight, the 'r' and 'i' in Arial tend to merge together, making an entirely different word for me to not hate. Though I do still agree that it is inappropriate in most professional settings.

Surely blind men should have that message brailled into their dicks with metal studs.
Thanks to your post, and my own curiosity, I am suddenly aware that my dick spells KKK in braille.
I like to use Sketchflow for presentations. It gives the mock-up a sketchy, less-done look-and-feel so that the customer has some visual cues that it's not yet an actual product.
Doesn't usually make a difference, but I like to pretend it does.

[.map.call( "Batman", function( x, y, z ) { return x ? +y : z }).reverse().join( " " );..that reminds me of a bit of super-clever experimental WTF code that performed all sorts of operations without using string-, boolean, or number literals.
It was a long time ago. Don't quite remember. I think it produced Hello World output or something.
CS kinda hoses the script, but I think I got it:

@HighlyPaidContractor said:I just had to debug an issue where the only error was: "Validation Failed - Line 1 - Element: [Extenstions] has invalid child element: [Premium_Record], expected element: [Premium_Record]"It gets better than that. You can have the validation keel over because someone omitted to put in xmlns="" as an absence of namespaces is not the same as an empty namespace.
I'll just leave you with this...
<HTML>Dim sFindText As String = " xmlns=""""" Dim sOutputFileText As Text.StringBuilder = New Text.StringBuilder(My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(sOutputFileName)) Dim iPosition As Integer = sOutputFileText.ToString.IndexOf(sFindText)Do While iPosition > -1
sOutputFileText = sOutputFileText.Remove(iPosition, sFindText.Length)
iPosition = sOutputFileText.ToString.IndexOf(sFindText)
Loop
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(sOutputFileName, sOutputFileText.ToString, False)

Namespaces can blow a goat.

Anyway my guess is that the initial .06 credit was a rounding error of some kind, which they fixed by applying an artificial .06 debit.
I once worked on the billing system for a large underwriting company.
In addition to the myriad of code-based WTFs, and probably due to several cringe-worthy bugs, the system had one particularly interesting "feature."
There was a button that would wipe out any billable amounts under $20.
"Rounding error"
Every so often, I'm suspicious that a poster has stumbled upon some of my early work. I can't imagine there are many of us who haven't generated a WTF or two in our time. Some of us still create them on a dialy basis. Personally, I'm supporting a monstrous VB6 application where the predominant coding paradigm is trial-and-error.
I doubt that someone with a resume as impressive as The Abstractor would be reading this site, however.
There was somebody recently who recognized a WTF as his own, but it turned out to be someone else entirely. Once a post gets filtered through the TDWTF storytime filter, it could be anyone.
