”... go out and buy a dishwasher.”

That’s exactly what I did. Works great to this day. Highly recommended.

Re: 64-bit port

Make one more cup for me, with a dash of milk, please.

Re: Grr!!!!

"I'm too tired to have to learn new stuff to do simple and mundane things anymore."

A thousand times this, and then some more. Imagine if you had to relearn your cars controls every year again, or even more often. You're not alone with your thoughts!

I've heard rumours that one can burn money on social media companies, too.

Re: Drugs and alcohol powered

Mee too. The thing elsergiovolador descibed happens for sure, and not only with phones. Dunno what those people mainly want to fund, though. Probably booze, some perhaps blingy clothes, and some even food.

Re: Button activated sprinklers?

That’s the way sprinklers are designed, for a reason. Cue the current case.

If button release was used, we’d enjoy water damage stories on ’Who, me’ and ’On call’ every other week. Why wait for fire damage, if you have human stupidity available?

Re: The best 'mosquito'

Don’t throw away such a treasure! You’ll find someone for sure to collect them.

Re: Unanswered question

“Press any button”?

Re: A service provider that doesn't bill because their attempted fixes failed?

Indeed, a very good point you have. It was probably the former one, though. There was no mention of bosses going ballistic over the incident and having everybody to drop whatever they were doing to fix it, but just mere "three days into an incident that deprived the company of an important application Kris was under more than a little pressure."

Logic clearly dictates that PHBs' spreadsheets were not affected >:)

Ummm, I can recall of a couple of guys who brought something nasty home from their business trips… like bugs, one could say. Their mistresses didn’t appreciate much the debugging procedure.

Re: Falcon, ST, AmigaOS et al

Guru Meditation, oh how little we miss ye.

Neither do I miss it, but I miss very much the humour computer industry had back in the day!

Re: As Terry Pratchett pointed out...

Uh, I thought I was being funny, but as per downvote ratio, apparently failed. Adam, sorry if it looked like I was attacking your post. I liked your humour, and tried to add my bit.

”we trail the bleeding edge of fads by about 18 months to two years”

It’s not a joke, despite the joke icon. You can count government organisations in. Natural feeding cycle of those parasites is private->government->acamemia->education.

And it’s not more relaxing*, but the opposite when you know beforehand what shit storm is about to be summoned upon you.

*) The joke icon must be for this part. A sarcasm icon, if available, would be more appropriate.

Re: This regulator's no good, I'll get myself another

can continue to use M365 products without hesitation and in a legally secure manner.

Legally secure meaning that they’re confident that it’s leagally safe for M$ and they’ll contiue to shaft you whenever they can.

Re: When will they learn?

Dye & Durham haven’t updated their website yet:

“We are a high-growth, high-margin business. Our technology drives innovation and helps our clients manage and grow their business. We minimize risk, reduce workload, and maximize efficiency and profitability.”

Re: Talking shelves

And much later, there is a faint knock and lonely voice from depths of the aforementioned sir's bedside table: "Could you use me before I expire... please?"

I like voice controlled driving even better.

”Drive to closest HW store” - “Yes, dad.”

Keep it. You newer know if you need it. For example, the power brick (at least the one of the ancient adapter) works with Sony PSP. I just thought to let you know :p

Re: Please keep going!

Tell him “We will, thank you very much, and so will you.”

Re: IQ Test

And all of your Windows installations would be nuked from orbit. All of them, EU-wide, simultaneously.

That would be an extremely positive outcome. EU, please proceed.

Re: Friends in unexpected places...

Occurs to me that the Russians would send in their sysadmins to keep the platform up for the US 2024 elections.

With the head of security made redundant, I’m afraid they are already in…
