How can one small piece of the whole be 445.2% of the whole?
I thought computers were supposed to be good at computing.
This time, one $10 pizza costs $18.00.
Pizza Hut is advertising a $10 deal for "any pizza, any size, any crust". Wanting to see what is available for $10, I go to the Pizza Hut web site. I login, select a delivery address, and am presented with a prompt asking if I want the $10 special.
First, I notice that "stuffed crust" may not be part of "any crust". That doesn't match my understanding of any.
I select Yes, and then add a pizza to my order. After adding a pizza, I am asked if I want to add an unspecified optional "next item" to my order.
Am I being asked to opt-in to something before being told what it is? Or is it asking if I want another $10 pizza? I already told it I wanted $10 pizzas, so why would it prompt me again?
I select yes and add a second pizza to the order.
After adding the second pizza, I get another prompt asking me if I want to add another optional "next item". I answer No to what I now assume is asking if I want a third $10 pizza.
The first pizza then disappears from my order. So I add another pizza to replace the one that disappeared.
I now have a total of two pizzas in my order. At $10 each, that should add up to $20.
That's not what I expected. Either my first pizza turned invisible or I'm being charged an extra $10.
So I add one more pizza to the order and my total becomes $40. I think that maybe this screen isn't showing my first pizza but it is still in the order.
I go to the checkout to see what the system shows for my order in the checkout system..
Three pizzas at $10 each are totaled up to $40 plus a delivery charge and tax.
The order is still $10 too high or missing a pizza.
Oh, there is the 4th invisible pizza. At the bottom, displayed differently than the others, with no option to change the quantity.
Not willing to spend money finding out what happens if I proceed with my order, I leave the Pizza Hut site and place an online order with Domino's Pizza.
Isn't technology supposed to make this easier?
@naterkane: self checkout user interface fail at home depot
Does Home Depot want customers to try to negotiate a better price?
milablah: weather forecast fail
The disk usage bar appears to be about 9.66% of the way full -- 23 of 238 pixels on my screen.
Do the math:
0 MB/25 MB = 9.66%
0 MB = 2.415 MB
Does this mean I get 2.415 MB less than the 25 megabyte allocation? Or does the "zero equals NOT zero" rule mean I get infinite space? ;-)
I accidentally hovered my mouse over the battery charge status indicator on my laptop display and found a tool tip ( or whatever name you suggest for it ) that says, "Charging (100%)' 1 minutes to fully charge"
I am wondering if a battery can charge beyond 100% and also would like to make a suggestion of minute instead of minutes.
If there is more charging needed to get to 100% then it isn't 100% for sure.
I am aware that this isn't a show stopper but wondering how long would the fix for this problem take and what's the value of it?
How does your laptop indicate battery status?
