We got a lot of good submissions this week, includingsome examples of test-in-prod we're saving for a specialedition. Not too many of the usual NaN/Null/Undefined sort, but we did also get a small rash of time failures.

But frist, Henk highlights the curious case of QNAP's email subscription management page (which appears to be outsourced)."QNAP surely does not want to lose me!" he hoped.

And an anonymous Australian athlete announced"To me, this is email marketing done wrong: sendingout mhtml files which can't be rendered in an emailclient like MS Outlook on Windows. It almost feels likethey don't want their emails to be seen in an emailclient. Or maybe they think the world revolves aroundusing Gmail or Outlook in the browser? (or maybe im justold school & like my email client)" I'm betting they don'tknow the difference between applications and web sites.

Penny-pincherZac found a limit to his fandom."I want to watch my favorite baseballteam, but I think it is slightly out of my budget."

Hockey FanBill T. didn't actually want to watch any ofthat reality crap anyway, but sometimes an error isso egregious you just have to rant about it."TNT has a different definition of when days start thanI do. 9PM Eastern? That's not even midnight UTC, so theycan't blame that one." I'm stumped too.

Time Is An Illusion, alludes gold-heartedGordon F., probably."Yup - another time and date screwup. But how many errorscan be crammed into one timestamp? This programming forumhas discovered time travel, new relationships betweenseconds, minutes, hours and days, and xm for when pm andam aren't enough." Until next week. So long!
