Re: "Once these obscenely rich people have grown out of their thirst for continuous success"

I once shared a lift with Bill G.

If shes managed to get him to shower then she deserves lots of credit.

Re: We can watch if from the UK

Dresden is owned by Global Boundaries, a US resident company, fully owned by a UAE oil slush fund.

'The Web' is nothing more than a dumbing down of SGML and crappy protocol (HTTP) to deliver it.

HPC clusters as you need an OS and network stack to coordinate the number crunching.

The software and hardware requirement for consumers, corps, and research boides are not the same. Although all benefit from economies of scale.

For its size, the EU (even when you throw in the UK) does not make a lot of software. It really does not.

There's SAP .......

Re: NO CARRI~@~~~$

Ahh yes , the Casualty view of a hospital, or whatever merkin drama.

Very little healthcare is provided under a blue flashing light, with a nurse holding onto an artery.

The majority is treating chronic conditions where you need to track progress over a very long time, sloging away.

This is where the fuckwit buffoonery that is accepted for the NHS fails all the time.

The NHS stats are great ..... apart from one - Improving peopkes health outcomes

Nope.

Why do TSB (and their Sabadel parent) still have a UK banking license.

Should have been withdrawn ~2 months after the problem started.

Whatever transition performed from Lloyds -> TSB, it does seem to have been irreversible.

Oh deat.

Re: Having backup plans is good.

No MBAs .....

Re: Killer App

No Access is fucking dreadful.

Theres only one lesson to learn from it - dont store data in Access.

I used to have to use shit based on Access. Every now and then the data corrupts.

If you wznt yo teach sql and whatnot, use sqlite.

Then move to postgresql.

Re: Let's look at the facts

The issue with push to talk is its not really implement.

The 4g technology is there but the 4g coverage isnt present in a lot of the country.

The only solution to this is to have commission some sort of mobile 4g base station with the option of satellite link. The likes of vodafone/ee manage this - settig up temporary mobile masts at festivals.

There just seems a total lacking of willingness to grasp what the issue and solutions are.

Speak for yourself.

Things are a lot better these days ... I remember ASCII porn.

Re: Java has been great as a teaching tool

Pythins great for teaching.

Newbies might need an ingormed choice for an editor.

Introduce yhdm yo c and interface with oython at a later date.

Python and C is a good way of getting studrnts to make engineering choices - execution speed v. ease if development.

I got my LCD from the, Comes with 5 year warranty.

Re: Summed up in a sentence

Actually, no, Capita are not to blame for this.

AFAIK the correspondence never made it to Capita.

Various GPs / NHS groups blithely carried on posting stuff and not checking where the address was.

The people operating the old system - within the NHS - just ignored the mail.

Re: C and C-style C++

Libraries sit at the system level.

C++ is fine for software running on top of heap/MMU. Less so in the kernel/restricted memory.

I use Erlang/OTP. For its niche - distributed state - its great. But is a niche not a general purpose language.

Im looking at using Haskell for test/verification.

AS far as dynamic scripting being a security risk ..... nuts. You secure the application/system levels.

Re: I'm uncertain...

No. You make valid points.

I have an Android phone and specific gmail account for it.

The apps I use most are:

vlc (not google)

gmail only for emails related to this gmail account

whatsapp (not google) - which is great.

google maps.

The rest I avoid.

Id guess all bar whats app could be replaced.

Re: So basically

Nothing to do with inflation, however it is defined.

All to do with slack lending, the thing at the core of retail banks.

Re: Good looking?

The thing that makes me laugh the most is, after inflicting the monster of ABAP on the poor fuckers, they then plump for Java.

Re: The digital deficit is coming to get us

If a company is using it then its not legacy. Its thats simple.

Let me rephrase her speech - The management and board were clueless of what systems and processes were in place of the company. Whne things wen to fuck we were clueless. And, to a greater extent, remain clueless.

Any company where software makes up a greater or lesser extent of its ongoing operations needs to where all the machines are and what software runs on them. And when the whole lots goes out of support.

Re: It's about time

Auditors should challenge but they dont. Thats a big problem.

However hp due dil should have found this sort of fuckwittery.

So, did hp duedil find issues?

If they didnt the hp duedil acvountants should ve sued.

If tgey did but were ignored by the board tgen tge board should be sued.

Re: Who needs it?

Yep.

Its age.

Or drink.

Or both.

Re: Same as it ever was.

Thats 30 years ago now.

They are working hard on a drive that is worse than the microdrive ....

Re: One reason the NHS should not have access to medical data

Nope.

You have meta data which will record the date, the login and which terminal was used to access medical records.

Then, in the case of breach resulting in Ed's info being leaked, you track the person down and jail them.

Indeed.

Broadly, the private sector is skills ability led. The more productive, highly skilled you are, the more you are paid. Obviously supply and demand have a heavy influence - just try getting skilled sw people with 10+ years.

In my experience, the CS is based purely on years worked for CS and sizeof teams. Theres limited skills or supply and demand.

Id guess there wasnt an issue when CS and private sector operated by throwing people at problems. But thats not been the case since the early 90s recessiom, which saw the middle management made redundant.

Now you have the ridiculous issue of contractors doing the core work and the CS building pointless little empires.
