Id10T error

The term that I like to preface my call to IT with when I know the solution is simple or I'm probably doing something wrong...but fuck if I can figure it out.

"Hello, this may or may not be an id10t error. Either way, please help me."

database error

The continuation of ruining online forums by a large, inept corporation. By constant and unending database errors rendering the site almost useless.

See Dale'd.

They tried to kill CFOT in the Dale fiasco and it came up short, so now they are trying to run people off with database errors.

Trial and Error

The story of my life.

My math teacher won't let me do "trial and error" or "guess and check" solutions. They all have to be algebraic solutions- the reason why I used to get 100s in math and now I get 80s.
