I think you will find banks had computers since the 1950's, and had version control even then. They certainly had it in the 1960's. It was built in to the editors used with mag tape.
to focus on broken things before add new crap no one wants
Yes. If they did things like that, it would soon be the year of the LInux desktop, and that meme would be gone for ever!
If you want software that actually works, you are supposed to use *BSD. If you want it to work and be secure, OpenBSD - but then it will be slower, and not work with the newer, untested, hardware that fanbois love so much, and you will have to learn how to play Colossal Cave, because there are not many other games that will run.
But it will be reliable and secure.
Like Granny said: You can't have it all In fact, you probably can't have any of it. Sit down and shut up. - well my Granny, anyway - but she had to put up with an IBM709, so you have to make allowances. No one is waiting for the year of the IBM709 desktop.
Think of the net starting with all potential connections. the neurones sum their inputs in a weighted manner.
Over time, some connections get stronger, and others weaker. Eventually some die out completely.
Some of you may see this as entirely and completely analagous to how the logic and routing are programmed in FPGAs.
At night, the whole shebang goes off-line for a bug fix session (Some of you may see this as entirely and completely analagous to how FPGAs are put in programming mode for the logic and routing to be programmed).
Some of you may think that either:
A lot of these "neural net" research projects are a scam, or
A lot of these "neural net" research projects are a serious waste of time, or
The people involved in these projects might be better off reading up on FPGAs before they set out to prove the blindingly obvious, rather badly.
Yes, I have been saying this since Xilinx released their first chip.
Yes, it would appear that an FPGA is more intelligent than 90% of politicians. Appearances can be deceptive. Its probably more like 99%
It is not clear whether your instructions are for Linux or Windows, but I routinely install various Linux (and BSD) versions from CD without an Internet connection - I have two laptops which don't have networking hardware of any kind. You can Install Windows95 without the Internet if you wish, and Solaris up to at least version 10. Some Ubuntu versions won't even install correctly if you DO try to connect to the internet (Mostly 14.x versions, ISTR).
I have no idea about Windows10, since I am not stupid enough to use it.
That's my experience, over the last 4ish years living in Seattle.
It may come as news to you, mate, but London is not in Seattle. There is no law against balack cab drivers having a GPS, or even two or three. But they need to be able to find every single one of a vast number of landmarks, and the quickest way between them, when the GPS is not working (I have had it claim I was doing 700 MPH over Marylebone, while I would be happy to even to 7MPH).
The black cab is a premium service with quality control and price to match. If you want a newly arrived immigrant driver with barely any English, who has no idea how to get around, you can have that. Its called a minicab, and is cheaper. If you want to forgo the quality control bit completely, there is Uber.
May I be the first to propose "Maude" on the grounds that you can pronounce it, spell check it, and have a reasonable chance of googling it. If you want to go the whole Ubuntu, then "Maniacal-Maude".
The reason CD sales are declining is cos because most of the content is rubbish. People are not going to buy music, if, after listening to it once, they never want to hear it again. If you look at the comments on Youtube, the 50's and 60's music gets tons of comments saying "This is amazing - I which I had been around in those days" while the new stuff has loads of views but few comments.
Personally, I go to lots of live stuff instead of buying crap CDs that die quick.
Unfortunately, the investors were not complicit in the crime.
Yes they were.
The company is granted limited liability by the people (in the form of the state) in return for an obligation to obey the law. (In any sensible jurisdiction, there would be a few other obligations too - like not paying the shareholders if the employees are not paid adequately to survive).
If the company does not fulfil its side of the bargain, then "poof". As others have pointed out - shareholders need to know that if they invest in an organisation whose whole existence depends on scamming people, then they are liable for the consequences. If I lend some money to a neighbour to go and buy dope and sell it, and he gets caught - I expect to lose my money. This is the same thing.
Of course, you may choose to live in a crime-infested neighbourhood - but that does not mean others think it is a great idea.
It's great, but nobody can open the files I send them
You seem to have this backwards. Recent versions of MS Office can open odt files (although you might have to twist its arm behind its back). Various MS Office versions fail to open docx documents on a regular basis, and the most reliable fix is to open said docx with LibreOffice and then save it again as doc or odt.
The reality is, odt is an iso standard, well defined and guaranteed readable for ever. docx is completely undefined, and even MS dont know what the spec is. Don't use it for documents needed in the long term or off site - ever.
Also MS formats tend to hide your secrets from you but divulge them to unsuitable people at inappropriate moments. Do not use them if you have a bank account or friends you value.

You got a phone with a SCSI port? Where can I get one?
I can't even get my USB DAT drive to work from the OTG port!
You don't seem to understand Samsung's marketing division.

What consumers/customers want (even if they don't know how to pronounce it) from financial products is:
So, in other words, not to have to deal with financial institutions at all.
You must be new here - or are the editors secretly zombies? (Enquiring minds need to know!)

Do you mean "good enough to run Linux"?
Ticking boxes on website based forms. Much easier than ticking boxes on a paper form and then copying it onto the website with a computer.
Also, quite good for showing products to customers in a sales presentation.
With a suitable app, they can be used for gathering customer signatures, although I would not want to use one gathered that way in a court case.
Obviously 1220 x 600 shape screen formats are not useful for anything at all*, so it is better to buy second hand ones.
* Unless you use stretch-to-fit software to make Disney princesses have even bigger bums - perhaps a major use case for some, but not for me.

If you offer more money, you could get away with a lot less luck.
But I am not willing to develop software in an unpleasant environment while being constantly bullied.

Then you should provide a legal notice to any and all rats in your pocket that their lives may be in danger
and get them to sign a disclaimer!
Assuming the average rat weighs 50g (no data supplied) then 20W/kg is the equivalent to putting the rat in a microwave oven (1,000W).

Why, Nroff of course. It is fully compatible with Runoff, Groff and Troff, so you should be fine.
