Re: Advert

I just want to know who down voted by post. Was this youngsters who don't like oldies on here, or was it oldies who like their newspapers?

My wife was at A&E with her mother 2 weeks ago. Yes, the paper records were with the patient. However, they were then separated giving a further 30 minute delay to treatment.

This was for an 80+ year old with a dislocated hip who had already waiting 2 hours for an ambulance and had been waiting in a corridor for another 3 hours.

Re: not quite simultaneous

I thought US patents were done by 'first to find' (something like that) rather than the 'first to file' used by the rest of the world.

Re: Interesting but…

Imagine the response if the Biden chatbot was prevented from speaking by an aide, then wandered off in the wrong direction!

On the other side, Trump ranting about being robbed at the last election.

Re: How does this even work?

Maybe all of those who own a domain should now setup subdomains using ARM as a prefix? arm.mydomain.com

They can't take us all down.

Re: It's only sane (to start with)

When I did my MCP (Windows 2000), it was a really useful being a foundation course in Windows and more general technology (DHCP, DNS, RAID and more).

I looked to upgrade my knowledge to a more recent version of Windows. Now it's little more than bulk learning PowerShell commands. Of no interest to me and something you can look up more easily.

Re: bizarre state of affairs

We just buy DVDs second hand for a £ or so. Rip HDD to watch on the big screen.

Only downside is that some older DVDs are at a lower quality.

How many seconds for the battery to ignite?

Re: Details Column width

You sure? I can still adjust column widths on Windows 10. You might not be in detailed view.

Re: Longevity

2-3 times per day? Those were the days (55 year old consultant here)

You're missing the point. He'd planned the anti-windows rant longer before he wrote the review. The thinkpad is just the prop.

Re: programming madness

Still happens I often have to switch from Firefox to Chrome.

Re: Google should get a free pass

There are other ways to track usage. My Wordpress site has a 3rd party plugin that stores the tracking data locally. Doesn't link with anyhting else, just shows me what people view, their device info and their country. No privacy issues at all.
