@Microsoft said:Warning: This page requires the use of scripts, which your browser does not currently allow.Yep, that's a WTF alright.Boohoo. Seriously, we've been over this many times: if you intentionally cripple your browser whining about a degraded experience is moronic and makes you look like a child.
Agreed, but the WTF here is that you can clearly see the page rendered just fine (fine enough for reading forum posts) for about 1/2 second before it wipes the screen and displays the error message.
I intentionally cripple my browser just to see the creative ways in which sites break. Cheap thrills, I know.
1. Missing header
2. Your Name + First Name + Last Name
3. camelCase eMail
4. "Headsup"
5. "gotta"

You know, I'd be with you, but the guy's name wasn't "Nabucodonosor," or "Nabiscodinosaur," or any other variation that you can come up with. It was "נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר" and it's spelled in the Bible correctly. Names shouldn't mutate across linguistic lines.
FTFY

Aren't these inline views rather than nested subqueries? It doesn't seem like it would carry the same performance hit (i.e., repeating the subqueries for thousands of records), but it has been a long time since my SQL class so I'm rusty to say the least. I am familiar with eliminating nested subqueries in WHERE clauses (in simpler queries than this), but what would be the approach here?

I am talking about "autoscroll" which is when you press the middle mouse button down and then you move your mouse up or down and the little arrows come up and the screen moves smoothly.That's what I'm talking about, as well. You think maybe NullAndVoid is talking about just regular wheel scrolling?The broken autoscrolling and the fact that I can't disable tabs (or at least make middle-click open a new window) to me make Chrome not worth my time. I used it for my usual browsing for about two hours last night and liked a lot of what I was seeing, but since I have a preference for new windows rather than tabs and I couldn't scroll around in my usual way I concluded that Chrome is not for me.
My guess is that my driver isn't sending teh same codez. I'm using a ThinkPad (Vista) and for me, I hold down the middle button, a miniature scrollbar appears, and I can scroll with the nipple-thingy. No smooth scrolling option, but it does work. Maybe it's emulating a wheel.
For autoscroll, I swipe the edge of the touchpad and it quickly scrolls through the whole document (usually by accident).

The rant on how tatoos aren't part of "civilized society" and how tattoo parlors should be in dirty back alleys or something is pretty WTF too.
Tattoos are for cannibals, sailors, and whores. The same applies to ear piercing, hair trimming, face painting, clothing, and all other forms of physical adornment.

9. Not very many settings.
It's worth noting that "send usage statistics to Google" is enabled by default. Not that they don't already know everything I do.
There are several FireFox plugins that I have come to rely on, so I won't be able to "make this my default browser" until this void is filled. The JavaScript tool is nice, but the usefulness is limited without some of the other web tools. I hope the developers of those plugins are impressed enough with Chrome to port their stuff pronto.
Overall, I was very impressed with this browser and I think it has a strong future.

Luckily, no one here is suggesting adding "arbitrary logic allowed by a real programming langauge" to HTML.
Assuming it's not a complete flop, I am looking forward to this. The web is in dire need of someone to step up to the plate and fix things (not just write white-papers filled with gibberish about "fixing" things and then bitch when the half-assed solutions aren't implemented to spec).

You have no Symantec products and therefore you have no problems.
Apparently, "Symantec Endpoint Protection" is a McAfee product that protects your computer from Symantec?
A quick search for "password manager" came up with several possibilities, but I've never used them so I can't recommend any in particular. However, I'm curious: If you're going to consolidate all passwords in one place (presumably all recoverable by a single password), wouldn't it be just as secure to use that same password on all of the systems? Actually, a program like this seems even riskier because a single crack would reveal all of the passwords plus a handy list of systems where they work.

Our place uses something similar when you call up and ask to have your password reset.
What I don't get is - if they're going to force you to change your password in order to use it, and the only reason you know there's a problem is because you ARE trying to use it, why they just can't make it something like "changeme"
Only problem I can see with that would be if someone managed to break into an account by using that password just as someone was having it changed, it could lead to some real problems.
I know the chances of that are remote but still, a hole is a hole...
When is a hole not a hole? When it's a backdoor!
But seriously, I often wonder if these things were inserted on purpose by someone with penetration in mind.

Am I the only one that's never had a problem with the forum software?
You're just a C$ shill!
I am pretty sure the origin of "single entry/exit points" applied mainly to the three basic structures and only indirectly to functions. The idea is that you can take the flowchart of, say, a loop and wrap it with a box with a single entry/exit point and abstract it away. Functions are similar in that you have a single entry point (the first instruction of the function - never jumping into the middle of a function) and a single exit point (the single instruction that you jump to when the function returns). It doesn't matter how many return statements you have inside the function; they always lead to the same point. That is, when your function is drawn as one box in a flowchart, there is only one line in and one line out. Exceptions, coroutines, and often gotos do break this "rule," but multiple return statements do not.
That's my rationalization, anyway. :)
