Re: Not my opinion!

You really need to be telling the old one that goes ....

A man and his son are involved in a terrible car accident. An ambulance is called but on the way to hospital the father unfortunately passes away. The boy is a highly critical condition on arrival and is rushed into the operating theatre. As the surgeon is preparing they suddenly turn to their colleagues and state "I cannot operate". "Why not Doctor?" comes the reply "because that's my son!".....

How is this possible,....?

Of course the answer is that the surgeon is the boys mother but it gets more than most people especially if it's the first time they've heard it.

Got told it when I was about 8 never forgotten it and like to think it just helped shaped me into a very slightly better person although that's debatable.

Re: Chartered Institute For IT?

I just get reminded of NYOOPI & ESOOPI.

So you're a member are you can you actually fix anything that requires more than a power button? Here's two system.ini's from two supposed identical Windows 3.11 machines suppose you go and highlight all the differences between them and see if you can work out why one crashes several times a day and one does not before telling the customer to try turning it off and then on again for the nth time.

Problem in chair not in computer!

The office knows it now but do have the ability to laugh when they realise they have messed up.

If I say someone puts babies on spikes....

I think you'll find crazy Eddie has already pioneered that though I don't know whether he patented it or not you might want to check!

Re: Lineac 3?

With all that power they have for the machine they can only light one bulb on the version read-out so it it's 1, 2, 4 then 8 etc

Re: A prankster...

What could possibly go wrong?

Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?

Re: Smart eh?

Yep. A while back the boss decided that he'd have 2 WRT1900AC's set-up in his house so muggins here had to go and set it up - not that I knew what he'd bought before I opened the front door.

Faffed about for a while trying to get bridging sorted between them so that I could manage to network and maybe even failover between his fibre and backup broadband lines. Spending too long on the set-up as it wasn't as simple as "lets all follow the wizard". Next thing quick check yep they are on openwrt's list so quick firmware wipe and I was up and running glad I did that now even if he is an ex-boss.

Re: Drive-by or not drive-by?

Agreed somewhat but that's because the full blog covers explains why.

From the article "So what about the other two vulnerabilities? Both of them relate to the implementation of Tunneled Direct Link Setup (TDLS)."

There are more than just TDLS vulnerabilities but I think the author probably chose that attack vector as the others "require some set-up to get working. " and appeared to be supported by more devices as stated two of the features (802.11r FT & CCKM) weren't in the supported features list for the Nexus 6P.

It is a great blog article even if it has some whoosh moments of complete lack of understanding from my part.

Re: Progression

Yep but you've skipped the middle bit where it learns from the Internet how to be a holocaust denier and woman hater before then realising its been duped and works out the best fate for humanity thereby building arnie armies.

Re: Was the keyboard being operated by my project manager?

plus the word "Bollocks" as clear as day in the middle of it all.

Much head scratching as to where exactly that came from.

Hmm my ex-colleague probably! Have been to a clients site before where he'd obviously been having problems with some code and ended up using $bollocks as a variable name to kludge a fix. The kludge worked and was left in I changed it many years later when going through the code with one of the staff after they had a sharp intake of breath and just pointed at the screen. I didn't say much just did a search for other code in the system using that variable but was only in the one project so search replace for the 4 instances of it to something more suitable and forget all about it.

Don't be daft they would see straight through that because the ICO - oh wait....

Actually on a weird note they could just pop round and have a chat being only about 10 miles away.

Re: offline F-35 operations – but only for up to 30 days

What's the betting that someone will twig it out.

It's not starting Fred.

Oh yea forgot to mention you need to set the date back to 2nd of Feb every few weeks.

Re: Won't somebody think of....

If it had sound you'd probably hear "No disassemble number 5" in the seconds before.

Re: Wouldn't let me post by mobile yesterday

Hi Sean,

It was indeed in Faversham. Ashley, myself and your uncle had a few jars & lots of laughs in the Chimney Boy as it was called then. One memorable evening despite the jars, it was a pleasure to have spent, albeit brief, that time in his company.

Sorry for your loss but please know that he was loved by many. I have chuckled to many bootnotes stories only to see afterwards it was another one from Lester.

Kind regards

Jim

Re: Harm..

Thank goodness for that if you had typed google it would have broken the internet!

As always it's people taking the piss.

Ok they shouldn't have said unlimited without at least stating a fair usage policy.

It was reported here but google got graun's one first.
