They really are clueless cockwomblers

...aren't they?

Now we know what Turing had to deal with. Among other things.

Accounts receivable/payable is "non-core"?

The world has gone mad. Mad I tell you.

The more complex the plumbing...

Maybe speakers don't need software.

I certainly have not heard any difference in speakers since the 1970s.

Holy crap

This is bad. Very bad.

So, the Chinese business model?

See title.

So, the American business model?

See title.

How do they stay in business?

Having been exposed, briefly, to SAP, I do not see how they are still in business.

It's the Rube Goldberg machine of software.

Lots of dodgy crap out there

See title.

Yes

Exactly.

Corporations deciding policy?

Isn't there a word for that? Begins with an "f"?

One lucky bastard

In 1994, Ma heard about the Internet and also started his first company [19]Hangzhou Haibo Translation Agency. In early 1995, he went to the US with his friends, who helped introduce him to the Internet. Although he found information related to beer from many countries, he was surprised to find none from China. He also tried to search for general information about China and again was surprised to find none. So he and his friend created an "ugly" website related to China.[20] He launched the website at 9:40 AM, and by 12:30 PM he had received emails from some Chinese investors wishing to know about him. This was when Ma realized that the Internet had something great to offer. In April 1995, Ma and He Yibing (a computer teacher) opened the first office for China Pages and Ma started their second company. On May 10, 1995, they registered the domain chinapages.com in the United States. Within three years, the company had made 5,000,000 Chinese Yuan which at the time was equivalent to US$800,000.

Hand cranked code?

I stopped doing that the instant I found more automation. And never looked back.

Like around 1996.

However, the experience of first doing it manually helped to trouble-shoot all further problems. So got experience and increased my production speed and quality. Win/win.

Web coding these days? What an utter disaster.

Yep

Yer fooked.

Thanks

Updated.

This is my shocked face

Not.

Scooter stoopid

The number one cause of scooter injuries are scooters. Scooters for adults has to be the perfect example of how fekking stupid the world has become.

That they are a rental business is even more absurd.

It was THE symbol of ridicule during the dot com boom/bust, yet people with too much money thought it was a good business model.

How the hell are there people that stupid with that much money? No wonder the human race is FUBAR.

It's a trap!

Don't fall for it.

Linux should never have the taint of MS on it or in it. It would be an abomination.

Many here called it

And yet the downvotes came like rain.

And MS will continue on this path for its OS.

Welcome back to mainframe/terminal hell!

Like I say, another week...

...another hack.

Wtf?

Apple needs thier ass handed to them for this.

Now THAT'S...

...disruptive technology!

Who did not see this coming?

We knew MS would pull some kind of fuckery stunt but to see them go to "extinguish" this fast is still stunning.

Everything in America is a scam

See title.

Everything.

Not even a year's salary

That slap on the wrist was really nasty! /s
