Something for the daily wtf maybe?

I received an update notification from Divx that I could download the newest version of their software. This is a picture of one of the windows that popped up with their miriad of notifications and download windows:

I love it when programmers forget things.  When it does happen, it can be quite humorous.

Have you heard of the problem where IE7 will disable the submit button of a form when the number of characters in a textarea reaches around 1800 characters?

We have a form that is online, but not publicly accessible that when users with IE7 try to access it, and put data into the textarea, the submit button will be disabled after a certain amount of text.

Also, along the same vein, IE7 will just not allow some users to enter more text. OR, IE7 will allow them to enter all the text they want, but it will not pass the entire body of text through the GET or POST request. (We tried both, despite the limitations of GET, in order to see if it was something weird).

If you have any ideas or know where I can look to solve this problem, please tell me ASAP, this is a critical issue!!!

P.S. It works JUST FINE in Firefox. I also scoured “The Google” and found only one guy who had a JS limitation on his form, which is not the case here. This is too strange…

We were watching Chuck on NBC, and in scene in the second episode that aired tonight, he mentioned Oceanic Flight 815.

I have made the requisite updates to the LostPedia.

Here: http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Oceanic_Flight_815

And Here: http://lostpedia.com/wiki/Chuck

The quote from “Chuck” was “Oceanic flight 815 was shot down by”

Note: I am an idiot.  I gave cbs the creditg for LOST, when in fact it is ABC.   I have updated the title of the page, but not the url, as there are people linking to this post. Thank you to Matt Moore for pointing this out!!
