You forgot #TO2015

Re: Sir

Ergo countries with patchy human rights records.

Yes, I'm also looking at you, Great Ol' Britain. From the somewhat safe distance of the formerly British now Chinese special administrative region...

By the way, there are countries out there that still respect human rights. For now, at least, and if only for lack of resources.

Re: Somebody's going to be rich...

Could you please be a bit more specific who the someone is, who is going to pay big bucks? I have quite some electronic junk too, which I'd like to get rid of....

literature review

That's about where a scientific study should start. Internet made that task an awful lot easier. Not everything is available online though, but some "scientists" simply ignore what's not been published on the webs.

A lot of cars, American or not, suck. That leaves you to choose from cars with supercharged engines or electric ones. But frankly, a lot of them suck, too. Get a bicycle!

Re: depends on your employer

Depends entirely on which government(s) they work for...

Besides which I find using the term "robot" to describe these PLC driven actuators stretching the term

Maybe I'm getting old and the meaning of this term changed recently. As far as I'm concerned, "robot" doesn't imply any intelligence at all but in fact can simply be some PLC driven actuators.

Re: Kill that WiFi Sense thing!

Maybe you are right about the project manager. It shouldn't have been the pm to set the requirements though. But to whoever came up with that brilliant idea: fuck off and die - and not in that order.

Re: All of our updates are on a Friday

Reminds me of some fuckers at a place (a large, global bank) I used to work in a former life. Staff used to be paid additionally and well for work during their on-call duty. Some of those would deliberately implement some small fuck-up, e.g. in a batch run, that would go off during their on-call. They would have safed the IT bank once again, they would be paid well, and they probably hated their partners.

Once found out the incentives were changed to something more normal: paid for on-call duty but not for actual work during this time.

Re: Alternative?

Trolling? Yes, a bit.

Seriously though, I've been using both iOS and Android phones for years. In my opinion, iOS sucks(*). I don't like it. But Android, which I prefer for its functionality, sucks even more.

(*)Although I believe for the usual user it is quite good and probably better (less troubles) than Androids.

re how many are called Rod

That doesn't help much with the maths because maybe Rods are much more at risk being hit by lightning than other people. But it makes you wonder what roughly 41'000 Americans were thinking when naming their child.

Re: Maybe ....

@tfewster

As a non-smoker, I find the smell of those little tree fresheners far more offensive than cigarette smoke. No joke.

Re: O RLY?

DropBear, I couldn't agree more. My hair stood on end when I read this crap. What they say sounds like what a junior trainee IT muppet would say - and like a recipe for failure.

Re: Some questions still remain

Wouldn't that require that they be more of an egg sac than hard shelled egg?

Good point! Do we know that they had hard shelled eggs? But I guess that also depends on the kind of sperm cells - what do we know about them? I mean, these were dinosaurs' sperm cells!

Bearing in mind that dinosaurs are largely extinct, their way of reproduction may not have been the most successful...
