Error'd: Mais Que Nada

from The Daily WTF on (#6WD6C)

I never did explain the elusive off-by-one I hintedat, did I? A little meta, perhaps.It is our practice at Error'd to supply five nuggets of joy each week.But in episode previous-plus-one, you actually got six!(Or maybe, depending on how you count them, that's yetanother off-by-one. I slay me.) If that doesn't tickleyou enough, just wait until you hear what Dave L.brought us. Meanwhile...

"YATZP" scoffed self-styled Foo AKA F. Yet Another Time Zone P*, I guess. Not wrong. According to Herr Aka F., "German TV teletext (yes, we still have it!) botched the DST start(upper right corner). The editors realized it and posteda message stating as much, sent from the 'future' (i.e. correct) time zone."

Michael R.wrote in with a thought-provoker. If I'm representingone o'clock as 1:00, two o'clock as 2:00, and so forth,why should zero o'clock be the only time representedwith not just one, but TWO leading zeroes? Logically,zero o'clock should be represented simply by :00, right?

Meanwhile, (just) Randy points out that somebody failed to pay attention to detail. "Did a full-scroll on Baeldung's members page and sawthis. Sometimes, even teachers don't get it right."

In case Michael R. is still job-huntingGary K. has found the perfect position for everyone.That is, assuming the tantalizinglymissing Pay Range section conforms to the established pattern."Does this mean I should put my qualifications in?" he wondered. Run, don't walk.

And in what I think is an all-time first for us, Dave L. brings (drum roll) an audio Error'd"I thought you'd like this recording from my Garmin watchgiving me turn-by-turn directions: In 280.097 feet turn right.That's two hundred eighty feet and ONE POINT ONE SIX FOUR INCHES.Accuracy to a third of a millimeter!" Don't move your hand!
