Bad, Bad Browser

I've been having quite a lot of difficulties with my laptop of late. Had to use the missus' netbook even. She doesn't have Adblock Plus installed so gets all of the advertising junk taking up her screen. Mind you, the browser doesn't always play the game. Notice the error message?


Is this a message from the company scolding the browser for not rendering the advertisement correctly? Why would the browser be sending a bad request for an ad? Tsk, tsk.

Errors and Error Messages

Any programmer worth their salt is aware that an error message should be informative and not confusing to the user who is going to experience it. And everyone who uses the Interwebs knows that error messages aren't all that informative on occasion. I've come across a few of late so thought that I'd share them.


A gigantic error occurred - you don't say?! Isn't that informative?


That message wasn't composed very well in terms of HTML being translated into text.


Just a little bit too exacting with the market depth methinks.


When does an object refernce not refer to an object? Didn't help me get the game score in an AFL match earlier this season.


Generic_tf - WTF?
