Yes, the same Toshiba that makes cheapass crappy laptops.

Not sure if this is funny or scary ... Or a mixture of both ... :-/

I wonder if they'll be issuing a nuclear power plant recall..

I respect both of the previous posters and I suspect they do not consider the disaster in Japan as "funny stuff". I request that one of the moderators move the previous 2 posts to another thread.

I always found Toshiba laptop to be better than most, especially Dell.

^ Actually, for a while they made very good laptops. More or less from the Pentium I through III period.
I actually ran FreeBSD on a PI era Toshiba Satellite until FreeBSD 6 releases ... Even the battery lasted for 30-45 minutes!

New laptops however (Newer meaning Pentium M-ish and everything after that) are not so great ... To be fair, this isn't just Toshiba but laptop manufacturers in general ...

Indeed, I have some of their older 486-class laptops.. and they still run today, not only that, but you got a complete memory map layout in the documentation.

As for the Japan thing, I never meant any offence, just trying to follow C.S's lead and add a little levity to the situation.

I ordered one. I still feel alone Does not work as advertised

Been a slow night at work, so here are a few of the best out of a couple of dozen of pages @ 9gag. Selected especially for you

One of the great things about UNIX-like systems is the "health care program" offered to its users so ... How many of you have visited the "emacs psychiatrist" lately? ... I, for instance, spoke with it h{im,er} a couple of years ago.

$configuratie_id = $_GET["configuratie_id"];
$queryC = "SELECT * FROM configuratie WHERE configuratie_id = $configuratie_id";

Some people should just be forbidden by law to do any programming.

[Carpetsmoker]

I just read further in the code, and there's ....

"DELETE FROM debiteur_configuraties WHERE configuratie_id=$configuratie_id"

There $configuratie_id the same variable as above.

So call this script with "?configuratie_id=%" and you just deleted all of our customers configuration setups stored in our database.

SQL injection was never easier.

You really don't want to know some of the crap I've seen over the years.

That reminds me of when a friend of mine noticed the website he was shopping on put the price that way, so he just convienantly made the item cost $0.01 at check out :-)

New record for most number of characters on a single line: 582 characters.

echo "<input type=\"text\" value=\"".$arrayWaarde[1]."\" maxlength=\"3\" name=\"".$Ieigenschap_id."[]\" style='width:25px' onkeyup=\"if ((this.value.length == 3 && getKey(event) != 8) || getKey(event) == 110) { this.value = this.value.replace('.',''); document.getElementsByName('".$Ieigenschap_id."[]')[2].focus(); }\" onkeydown=\"if ((getKey(event) == 8 && this.value.length == 0)) { document.getElementsByName('".$Ieigenschap_id."[]')[0].focus(); document.getElementsByName('".$Ieigenschap_id."[]')[0].value = document.getElementsByName('".$Ieigenschap_id."[]')[0].value; }\">";

That's PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

[TerryP]

I think I've seen lines up to700-900 char, but I can't remember whether it was C or HTML :-/. The sad thing is I can read that slop perfectly (unwrapped), and I've scarcely touched PHP in almost 3 years lol

[Carpetsmoker]

Well, it's not difficult as such ... The "formatting" is just ... not the best possible ...

Now, PHP has plenty of drawbacks, but to be fair there are some good parts to it. In the end, it's of course the programmer at fault.

In a way, we should all be thankful to PHP. You see, it's a bit like Jupiter.

Those who have some familiarity with astronomy, will known that Jupiter is by far the largest and most massive planet in the solar system. As a result, it has a very strong gravitational pull.
The gravitation pull is so strong, that it pulls in many comets and other objects flying through the solar system, meaning they won't trouble those little carbon-based self-replicating automatons on that pale blue dot.

In a similar fashion, PHP seems to have a large gravitational pull for programmers. Especially those with a low gravitational pull of their own are quickly pulled in.
This of course means they won't trouble all the other programmers so much.
PHP is the sinkhole of programming languages

[TerryP]

Sounds great, except we don't use Jupiter directly as much as we use PHP powered websites that may or may not have been written by a total and complete moron, that just so happened to gravitate toward it; hehe.
