We have just had to put out a customer wide email as it prevents the client side of our database software communicating with the server.
Been using it for over 20 years, very stable, until W10.
And the company was bought by SAP who have ruined support.
A few 10 PCs in our office have been "updating" for a few hours and not yet usable.
FDISK and Windows 7 would be a great cure.
Ages ago to chat to someone, but deleted it when they would not stop spamming.
Turned off all spamming then got a sponsored spam one from someone supposedly well known I do not give a shit about so deleted the account.
I only followed a couple of game devs and have no interest in Z level "celebrities".
But we also had a permanent opt out on Euro as Pound is still a major currency. Also had opt out on closer integration.
But we were still popular for our skilled high tech industries and major financial trading.
And how many leave voters realised that the EU trading capital would be moving from CoL?
Delta Winged British Aircraft
I just remember in the 60s somewhere near Bristol, lots of traffic jams, to see a Concordet.
Sitting on the slip way of Lizard life boat seeing a small shape in the sky.
A Vulcan air displaying over Holyhead Island (and one year a double Hunter crash).
Most recently XH558 climbing over Pershore.
I keep forgetting how to spell his first name despite being nearby to my constituency.
Anyway seems a nice enough bloke on the local radio, but then all the locals ones seem decent enough to me. The real idiots tend to be rejected at the ballot box.
But they do get over their head sometimes, they are only people.
He did used to run a bank so SHOULD be OK (we hope)
There is an animal in our house which loves it there, it is fed, looked after, played with, taken on walks.
If we evicted it, it would come straight home again.
However it would not survive in the wild as it needs regular grooming, I cannot see our dog learning to trim her own fur.
Dogs, a human created species which loves living on our homes.
House cats, a small carnivore which has been bred for living with humans.
Two species who live with us as members of our families, not captives. So fuck off PETA!
Nearly destroyed my current work Android a few times, as the POS will not unlock unless you do it very carefully, but of course I get rattier and rattier.
Camera is annoying, trying to zoom it out after zooming in and suddenly my face appears on the screen. Why the fuck do I want to see my ugly mug unless shaving?
Previous two are with sons, one is wrecked through being washed, the later one is OK as he doesn't wash it under the tap.
I really really miss my old Nokia Symbian phone, easy to use and a decent camera with decent lens.
I wonder what we will get next contract, lets just say I really hope it isn't Koreas biggest phone maker again.
They all keep on about better trade agreements, best offer is same as we have in EU.
Lots of businesses will up sticks and move.
The EU WILL give grants to build new car factories in Eastern Europe for the Japanese manufactures to move to.
Lots of young people are looking to move over with the jobs.
Already been a few financial sector leaving parties as they head off to Dublin and Amsterdam.
Also I have noticed that quite a few leave voters have no idea why they voted out, one was worried about his job being given away to a foreigner (job is safe silly reason), anothe because we were NOT Shengen and Euro (WTF).
My personal view better to be in pissing out. Yes EU is bloated, but think of the trade, think what WAS the EU financial capital.
Random person posting, no fees.
This is user generated content, this is what FB is _supposed_ to be about.
Dodgy adverts
Posted out via advertising system, not a random post, paid, they do know about it otherwise how would they know to send it to everyone.
Facebook are guilty and they know it. It is NOT UGC but targeted ads.
Was considering for a while, TGT was the final thing.
Quite a bit of TV on there to watch. And getting stuff same day is novel. Was almost quicker to get a power sander off Amazon than driving to Homebase.
And it is possible that there are higher paid people than Bezos at Amazon, how about Clarkson?
I actually enjoyed Starship Troopers (Film).
First seems like a giant piss take, then you realise it is quite subversive.
As to Ready Player One. Book is quite good, I liked it, the the trailers to the film look nothing like I imagined from the book.
But then I am not a huge Spielberg fan, he can be good, but he can also get mawkish.
Best SciFi film I have seen in the last few years was The Martian. Just how much has it cost to rescue Matt Damon in all the films he has been rescued in?
Not bothered by the main stream religions but creationists, can't stand them, offend me to the core.
Even reminding them that their leaders (eg Pope, Arch Bishop Canterbury) know it is bullshit, they still keep on about it.
Bloody religious fanboys!
Will this stop the people using Cortina to find their porn (I have heard the recordings they do go back to base).
As to swearing.
What is the best way to get swearing?
Be a Yank and say no curse words please in online gaming. At least 4 were British so plenty of colourful language from us, none abusive, other was either British, Aussie in US, or less uptight Yank, not sure, can only remember the PSN IDs of 3 of them.
