As always, dates are hard, memory management is hard, and localization is hard, but nothing, nothing is as hard as multiplication.

Sushi fanBen A. found the freshest fish in western NY."After an earlier email thanking me for a non-existentrecent order," he confides, "Beyond Menu has helpfully clarified thatthey can predict the future."

Here at Error'd, the true delectables are the errorsin which the error behavior itself is the error. CosplayerSlashee the C. highlights what happens when your memory managementis so bad that you can't even report the actual. It's obvious,of course, but it would be nice to know where.

Grand PrinceZoltan explains this disaster of localization."They say Hungarian is one of the most difficult languagesto learn, and I can accept that as a native speaker,however having a list sorted in English and applying I18Nafter that is just a call for disaster regardless of language.It seems this Wizz survey didn't think about this and madematters worse by making the same mistake twice in a row:first asking for my nationality (upper) and then whichcountry I live in (lower)."

And finally, it figures that Rob H. would get the last word this week."Usually, when you see something like this, you get a bitof a discount when you buy at the multiple item price.Either someone goofed up here, or they're trying to trickpeople into buying more than they want." Or, more likely, they know their customers can't math.
