Sure.

I don't think so. But what do you get when you mix medicore and mediocrity? Is this a case where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole?

True, we all care. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Everything is more simpler. Words and more words but reason does not matter. How to distinguish truth in an ocean of false information? How to find the best path for everyone if nobody cares and everyone accelerates? How will we know the truth if we ask for evidence that is impossible to obtain?

Hi, tried to change some setting on my Outlook account but alas.
("fel" is Swedish for "error" if you did not already guess it

The original error message was:
fel
Dude, you have obviously done something bad.
But some manager wanted something more "professional"
... such stuff as dreams are made on

Not to mention that all your Outlook text in in Swedish.. No wonder you can't understand it 
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Impressive message .. but please check your network cable,
because of "...unable to make connection to the server..."
which is cleverly embedded in the sea of text ...
Cheers,

A colleague just bought my attention to point (1), (2) was discovered very quickly:
1. They're still running on classic ASP! (At least judging by the address bar).
2. View Source reveals a shed-load of CSS styles defined directly in the HTML file.
A classic case of do as we say, not as we do.

Might not be as obvious as it appears.. w3schools.com/ Technology Profile
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

A company I worked for 15 years ago and I helped build their e-commerce sites still is using classic ASP and the topography of the web pages and querystring values look the same. Only thing that's changed are the images, HTML, and CSS.
I expect W3Schools has a money maker with little growth; so they much the same as my former employer, they don't invest in a mature but profitable asset and could care less about security and performance.

Wow. Never noticed this. For CSS, it is rather common practice to have inline CSS for about top 1/3rd of the page.

At the risk of highlighting a horrible quick-n-dirty workaround I wrote a few months back, has anyone else come across this?
I have some Javascript code that creates a date object, appends it to a URL, and does a GET to another page. At the server my (.Net) code then parses the date, but does some horrible clunky stuff to convert what Javascript has created into something .Net can parse. It does this by stripping off any reference to "GMT +0000 (GMT Standard Time)". The dates that Javascript formats when simply appending a date object a string are in the format
ddd MMM dd yyyy hh:MM:ss GMT+nnnn (xxxxxxx) for instance
Fri Mar 24 2017 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time)
(BTW, this is an intranet app that ONLY runs on Chrome).
All worked well in testing. All worked well in live... until the user started entering dates after March 26th, when .Net was parsing the date as "01-01-0001". Debugging on my system revealed the problem was the shift to daylight saving (British Summer Time); so I (stupidly, as I suspected at the time!) changed the server-side code to also strip off any text "GMT +0100 (GMT Summer Time)" which is what my browser was sending. I tested, all was well, put code live.
Unfortunately this didn't resolve the problem for the user, and further investigation showed that, although they were on an identical version of Chrome, their system was sending "GMT +0100 (GMT Daylight Time)"; i.e. "Daylight Time" not "Summer Time".
Further investigation showed that the only difference between development and live was that their systems were running Windows 7 Pro, whereas my development system was on Windows 8. So, Microsoft, what on earth possessed you to change the name of the time zone between one version of Windows and another?? So much for forward compatibility...   
And yes, I am very much aware I should not be hard-coding timezone strings, even if this is an intranet app running in my own timezone...

What about using something like:
new Date( new Date().toUTCString() ).toLocaleString()
I'm just curious.

Luckily F12 lets me emulate IE9 to get through it! This is a pretty major US business web application that still can't take payments from Safari, Chrome, Edge or IE > 9 browsers!
