I've always considered myself very good with regular expressions.  This one drove me crazy for a little while, but it turns out to not be a problem with the regex so much as the way the PHP PCRE engine was applying the regex.

I've had this ridiculous user manual sitting around for months now, and I couldn't stand the thought of such an amazing piece of literature wasting away in the data closet.  I just had to scan it in for the world.  I've seen some bad documentation in my life, but this goes beyond bad.  Most people who have little command over another language will try to write as little as possible to reduce the chance for errors.  This guy just kept on going for 8 pages.  Mind you, this is for a USB disk enclosure!  How much freakin' documentation does that require?   Maybe 4 bullet points?

I now present to you in its entirety, the USER MANUAL for the USB PORTABLE HARD DISK (some no-name product I bought from Tiger Direct last year).

Just for fun, I built a ticket generator.  It copies off of says-it.com, whose ticket generator wasn't working when I needed it.  They've since fixed it, but I figured I'd release mine anyway.
