I wouldn't have written my name on my balloon, it would have said Hugh Janus or Mike Hunt or some such similar.

and then you've been busted when everyone else had their balloon back.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This algorithm could still be made more parallel - we have two hands for two balloons....and there is no exception handling for two or more people having the same name.

I actually vomited when I read this utter drivel: complete, unadulterated bollocks.

I grew up in Arizona and when I was young we would see dust devils quite often but never a flaming dust devil....didn't know they had gender?
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

This is not a dust devil, it is a "fire storm". The heat from the fire causes an updraft and then the cyclonic action. Dust devils are just caused by the wind and daytime heating.

Just used Tesco online ordering, for Click'n'Collect - no major problems.
But...it needs an email for login, and it insists on sending you an SMS when the goods are ready. My mobile doesn't work inside the house (Hooray!), so I thought I'd suggest that they might want to consider an option of sending an email instead - it might even save them money.
Only one problem: the "contact us" box wants an email - fine, I'll use the same one as the order - nope, not valid.
The stupid email address text box only takes 30 characters.
Mine is 33...
Email addresses can be 254 characters long you lazy elephanting sunshines! Ooooo....

Check to see if it is being client side validated at 30 chars.
If so, hop into dev mode, override the script, voila.....

Thirty Three Characters? I'd go mad, mad I tell you, stark staring MAD if I had to type 33 characters every time!
Mine is 15 & I seem to have to type it in 50 times a day.
M work one is 34 long, so I tend to use my home one if I have to register something, even for work.

Chrome autofills it for me after the first couple of characters, so it's no hassle at all.

That's even more fun when it's your street address that's "too long".
Or if they pretend to ship anywhere but then only accept US ZIP codes.
|
|
|
|

Then there's the b'tards who think mine isn't long enough and keep offering to lengthen it.
They should use some kind of validation first. It's not like anyone complained... mumble mumble...

I get emails about that...

No you don't. You just told us it was too long.

I don't think it's Tesco that are sending "those" emails...

Give it 5 years and I'm sure they would have muscled in on that market. They already have the slogan "Every little helps"
