Debugging installation failures on hosts in a dev environment, probably 20 times a day. I just need to see what the installer reported and to interact with it. These fancy interfaces give you all the bells and whistles but seem to end up making the basics unreliable. 19200 works fine for me.
How long have you got?
ILO often hangs (as in the ILO *server*) when extremely long lines are sent to it. Some features as licensed on per-host basis. Unless you only have one supplier you end up with having to use a mixture of tools to do the same operations.
I haven't used one of these proprietary tools that doesn't suck big-time. The worst offender is Dell's Java KVM. I have to fire up a Windows VM whenever I have to use it.
Once configured serial just works.
Recently I found myself struggling with a question I should easily have been able to answer: Why would anyone want to use Windows as their everyday desktop (or laptop) operating system?
oh really?
So where do I stand? I am a 'person' but I also own my own company. So am I evil or not?
I'm not implying all companies are evil. They have their place of course. The primary problem is when all the company does is harvest the creations of others and then rigorously maintains control to the detriment of both the creator and society.
Too much of this pirate-party crap is schoolboy teenage 'sticking it to the man' philosophy that implies everyone older than 20 who has got a job has sold out. I'm sure it seems romantic to fight against capitalism and show the rich jerks who run the country how it should be done when you are 18 years old.
later when you need to buy a house and pay bills, and earn money, you will find that companies are not 'evil', they are just a vehicle by which means people participate in the free market.
I'm the wrong side of 40 (with children, house etc) for that to stick. 'Free market', interesting concept. Shame it's pure fiction.

They meant to say "Nearly sold ONE".
Yes, how long have you been asleep for?
As TFA points out, that always works fine when your requirements are *all* known an are completely static. That rarely happens in most fields.
Beyond 'hello world' that's always the case. Let alone in real-world projects the dates change, the team members change etc.
for visiting the mother-in-law.
or should I patent that before Ballmer does?

They can rip each other to shreds if the mood takes them.
It fixed it, but new programmers shouldn't be forced to deal with stuff like that.
You're new here aren't you? Software always has to fix up the screwups the hardware engineers made.
That'll be one of these new-fangled schools. Oh, it's in the US, I guess goes for old over there.
America didn't give two shits so the rest of the world didn't say anything.
Oh they did, who do you think paid for all the explosives?
a metric or imperial sh!tload?
Yeh, we're politicians like that here in the UK too...
Your decision to partner with Microsoft is as sage and wise as allowing your balls to be shaved by a mental patient.
with a chainsaw.
Glasssteel spell, see PHB.
you're descended from a criminal.
that they've filled a patent for this technology?
Depends, in the UK someone was charged with criminal damage last year

... and you're welcome to it.
such a shame I for one would vote to hang them all..
In gibbets on Westminster Bridge. That would focus the minds of their successors.
Civilians are not permitted to wear camouflage, even kids. You're warned when you enter the country that it's the sole preserve of the military.
You should have stopped to consider that there is no letter "C" in the Icelandic alphabet before issuing your demand.
But there is the letter ash (Æ)...
... they need to take some more options out.
