Most managers are embarrassed at the idea of telling someone older than themselves what to do, and too poor at human relations to figure out that the answer is to ask nicely, In some cases this is made worse by them reading "the management skills of Genghis Khan" and believing that bullying people and ignoring advice is the route to success - which it probably is, if you are running some kind of Ponzi scam (eg a bank).
If its MONEY you are talking about, they are probably integer calculations. I am fairly certain our servers only ever execute floating point instructions by accident
It was widely known that "the average British soldier can't shoot a bucket at 10 paces" - I dont imagine that other soldiers were significantly better. The pigeons were fairly safe from soldiers. Carbon Monoxide from flue gasses was probably a bigger risk!
In the 1940's Central heating had not been invented. EVERY house in the uK had fireplaces in every room. That was how you kept warm.
And yes, a cold bird resting in the warm flue gasses would rapidly be paralised by carbon monoxide poisoning, and fall down the chimney.
It is also highly likely that the chimney would have fallen into disuse shortly afterwards - perhaps due to fuel shortage, and then, shortly after the war, buring coal in open fires was banned, so it was never used again.
Human vision is irrelevant. Its the A4 page that is the issue. Either way, appalling lack of pixels is probably one reaon why some of us prefer our old laptops to the new ones, causling the death of the laptop industry.
Lenovo: Look what happened to HTC (removed removable batteries and storage - lost all their customers) - if your product goes backwards (My old model Thinkpad is 1990x1024, new models only do x768), so will your sales.
Unlike Windows, which is clearly unsuitable for the desktops of the 98% who do use it.
Have you ever had to support Windows users? While I accept that users are a bit of a problem, they would be a lot less of a problem if they weren't using Windows!
The obvious conclusion is that keeping data is very expensive and you should be trying to find ways not to keep more, not finding reasons to hold more!
Yes, but we Samsung buyers would have bought HTC if they ahd replaceable batteries and removable SD cards, and we will next time, if HTC get the message that people dont buy iPhones just because they can't change the battery. I still have, and use, an HTC Desire, and I have three spare batteries (ie 4 batteries) to make damn sure I can use it! I have learned my lesson - if you need a phone, you need a spare battery (or three)/ Also, if you need to take it for replair you want to be able to take your content out in the shop, and bring it home. And preferably be able to insert the card (and SIM) into another phone, probably of a different brand. We have had phones before, and are not like the people who bought the first iPhone.
Have you tried doing anything on dirt cheap laptops?
Compare the stuff in Office World today with an IBM T43P from 6 years ago! You dont need a quad core processor for most business work (eg writing SQL, reviewing managerial reports), but you need a much better screen and keyboard than the tat thats on the market today.
No, I do not design PCBs on my Samsung Galaxy S3! (but I do read semiconductor data sheets on my Kindle).
Do you still remember dreaming of a TOAD? (Ten On A Desk)? or OPD (One Per Desk)?
The percentage of the world's population that can and do what you (and I) did in the 1970's is massively greater. The Sun readers still read the Sun (and my Sparc64 servers still make MY content available to ME on three continents). It was ever thus.
The Pentagon computers in question, somewhat foolishly, allegedly used "password" as their password (or null). This does not constitute "hacking" in most people's estimation.I would guess that the majority would consider cracking encryption to be hacking. Whther they would expect it to be illegal, I don't know.
My personal view is that neither should be illegal. However, imptersonating someone else for some kind of gain should be. I do not count a big grin as a gain in this context. You lawyer may disagree.

Don't you even listen to the Romney version of Christianity?

Oh, Wait...
PLUS: you get double points on your geek card!

You must be new on planet news: could save up to 50% means "will probably save less than 5%, but we need a grant".

But what if you need to dump to punched cards?

User error: strike any user to continue!
So that explains their wierd behaviour!
If this continues, Pussy Riot will have to book a few gigs in America.

Whoever modded this +1:funny obviously has not tried it. Otherwise it would be -1:not funny at all, or +5:Informative
These are IE users, a totally different kind of beast.
Thank you, but I just dont buy Fords. I buy Nissan, cos I don't want something that leaves a trail of self-tapping screws everywhere it goes.

Next time I find a bug, I will try that - it could be interesting!

I think that would be a porcine doll.

If you are over 40, just reading the keys is a problem.
Or, here in the UK, 70% chance of being wrong!
