Error'd features fun error messages and other visual oddities from the world of IT.
"Getting ready to!" anticipated richard h. but then this happened. "All I want are the CLI options to mark the stupid TOS box so I can install this using our Chef automation. "What are the options" is too much to ask, apparently. But this is Microsoft. Are stupid errors like this really that unexpected?"
It's been several years now that our reliable contributor Daniel D.
has been sending us the same gripe time after time. We get it, really we do. It irks us too,
but it is astounding just how many times he's been able to find this!
With no further ado, here is Daniel's pet peeve. See if you can figure out what it is.
640 kB 40 characters must be enough for anybody," right? Daniel bemoaned
"US Banks, brokers, financial institutions. You would expect them to put heavy safeguards with stronger the password the better, right? But then you find out they require just 8 to 40 and not a bit more."

There is fire sale on "Test In Production" incidents this week. (Ok, truth is that some of them are a little crusty and stale so we just mark them way down and push them all out at a loss). To be completely fair, testing in production is vitally important. If you didn't do that, the only way you'd know if something is broken is when one of your paying customers finds out. I call that testing in production the expensive way. The only WTFy thing about these is that when you test in production, your customers shouldn't stumble across the messes.
"We don't often test, but when we do it's always in production" snarked Brad W. unfairly. "My phone gave its default alert noise mixed with... some sound that made it seem like the phone was damaged. This was the alert that appeared. "
... or maybe I should have said both here and there?
The Beast in Black has an equivocal fuel system. "Apparently, the propane level in my storage tank just went quantum, and even the act of observing the level has not collapsed the superposition of more propane and less propane. I KNEW that the Copenhagen Interpretation couldn't be objectively correct."
