Writing perl code in the middle of a PHP script makes me feel stupid and ineffective.

I see someone has stamped the mud off their dirty boots on the elevator floor.

Some lady sitting on the toilet in one of the college bathrooms (making tinkle noises) while calling the college whose shitter she was assaulting, asking about parking and credits (didn't even sound like for her, like for a grandson or something)...and she sat there for a long time, then hung up and tinkled longer.

Took me a while to get out of there as I passively-aggressively flushed my toilet (without having even used it) over and over and over.

How fucking gross do people need to be?

Datalyss 10-26-2010 05:12 PM

Using the word gay to refer to something or someone that's stupid angers me.

Wouldn't it be great if she asked for financial aid information, and you just told her?

That so crossed my mind. I was waiting for a FA question.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have access to the system from here to tell me if you are on the list of those with whom I'm allowed to speak. Plus, please don't hand me your ID."

Just giving you a hard time. It sounded like you thought it was shocking.

I'm wrestling with css these days. I volunteered to put together a web site for the local Knights of Columbus council. Maybe I'll feel better about css once it's done, but right now I've taken to calling it C Fucking S S.

Clodfobble 10-26-2010 10:13 PM

Well it's clear what the C must stand for, in that case...

Back in August, I entered a contest on BoingBoing to win one of three computers HP is giving away. The contest lasted 1 week. Around 20 people entered. My odds of winning aren't bad. I'd guess 50/50 based on the number of entries, number of prizes, and the quality of the competition. But the people at BoingBoing running the thing haven't gotten around to declaring the winners. They even said recently that they would announce them last Monday, but never did.

So I could contact them to bug them, but then if I bug them, they will surely not pick me as a winner. So, as per the rules, I just keep going to the contest site to see if I won, because if you don't respond to your winning notification within 24 hours, they give the prize to someone else. I've been going to this stupid page every day for almost the last 2 months to see if I won. It's getting to the point that it's just not worth it.

Incredible.:eek:

What do they want to do?mow? How many acres? What's their problem? Is it tall grass next to a highway? Shouldn't that be their job?

Uh oh, someone gave a rat's ass! :p:

dmg1969 10-27-2010 11:08 AM

My company changed insurance again in the beginning of October. Not a big deal except for higher co-pays and prescriptions.

However, the specialty pharmacy I have to get my one medication from is fucking around and I'm already overdue for it. First you call the doctor and have them fax the prescription. Then they have to check with the insurance company to see if it's covered. Then, they find out that it is covered, but they need a pre-authorization or some shit from the doctor.

See, we don't need health care reform (ie: government run health care)...we need INSURANCE reform. :mad2:

I just noticed it today. I'm like "where are the quotes, the reviews?" but now everything is all jumbled up so it's one long page. I think the whole thing looks horrible, especially the cast or movie list: it's like someone's high school Web Graphics project.

I'm glad it's not just me. :)

Flint 10-27-2010 01:36 PM

Oh God, they changed IMDB ???

Why do they change stuff?



I think I know the answer: they force you to look around for the features you use, and hope you'll stumble upon other features you've never used or known about before.

There is a place to give feedback on the redesign. I told them it was horrible and that I give it no thumbs up.

No, it was something I genuinely thought nobody would give a rat's ass about.

Shawnee123 10-27-2010 02:55 PM

Yikes, I had trouble finding it again. If you go to "contact us" it wants you to be registered.

So, you have to pull up an actual movie. Then all the way down at the bottom under "Explore more about this title" you'll see, on the right side "feedback on the redesign."

I think any movie will do.

What a train wreck.

skysidhe 10-27-2010 03:31 PM

I found it. It's just like you said shaw. Click a movie and the give feedback link is at the bottom.

On the Q/A people asked why they did this to the layout and the answer was because people usually scroll to the bottom of the page. ( no really:eyebrow: )

I wanted to ask if people actually get paid to mess up a layout ( yes I am unemployed and bitter ) but instead I told them it was not user friendly. I said to have a layout you can see at first glance even if it means clicking a link is better. That's what I think.

Bert gets first billing contractually, since as the straight (insert irony) man he gets the poor lines.

I'd like to see a magazine that has a story not broken across the entire magazine. You start a story on page 21, read a page and a half and ya get "continued on page 67". Oh and does page 67 even have a fucking page number on it, hell no! And page 22, a different story that gets the same treatment, continued on page 79. What the fuck?! Why can't the story be printed in full from start to finish???

I wouldn't say that--most of my stuff is quick little hacks to munge some data from one system to another. I'd be lost at any serious development effort.

I admit, I'm considering learning Java though.

HungLikeJesus 10-28-2010 10:41 PM

That's great SD. When you learn Java you can help me implement new decimal and the tenth digit.

Sundae 10-29-2010 07:46 AM

I saw a car yesterday with a "Princess On Board" sunscreen in the window.
Get this - the only occupant of the car was A MAN!
A man cannot be a Princess.
And it was only a temporary sunscreen, so he could easily remove it when the Princess is not travelling.
That's on a par with parking in a Disabled spot without a blue badge - complete misrepresentation. I hope Her Highness has words with her driver.

Also - why can't old people say things only once?
Why do they have to repeat themselves halfway through the conversation.
Is it some kind of elongated stutter?
Or is some alien intelligence cutting and splicing what they say for kicks?
Because it's the same words, in the same intonation, just a FEW SECONDS OR MINUTES AFTER IT WAS FIRST SAID.

morethanpretty 10-29-2010 07:47 AM

SG - they forgot they said it the first time.

You know, if imdb really wanted to make a useful change, they should add a an option to list movies by the number of quotations. I like witty movies. And witty movies have the most quotes listed.

Maybe he had a princess in a child seat you couldn't see?
