I've been that guy. Job got shunted off to India by US led management who decided cheaper was the way to go and dumped the entire team.
From conversations with former colleagues I understand that there are now 4 people trying to cover the stuff I did and they are coming up short even a year and a half later.
Spot on. If your system relies on a single point of failure for critical functions you have a serious problem; "Human Error" is a convent excuse to avoid finding and firing the real problem.
Nun of that would be a problem if they'd taken guidance from a Higher power
Printer definitely showing as connected in Device Manager? I'd try updating the USB drivers first, sorted a few issues for me with datakeys. Seems a leap to assume the CD driver would not have the same detection issues as the downloaded driver you can't even run.
"Ret assured, there will be a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed by the family that will get settled out of court for an "undisclosed amount". (around 4 million is par)"
Very unlikely, it was in the UK, we don;t get settlements anywhere near that level
Why this one made the paper, I can't tell you. Probably a customer was savvy enough with social media and decided to burn the bank. I guess they should just be happy the public in general doesn't realize how many problems and how much actual work goes into making banking seem reliable and secure.
A lot of benefit payments and tax credits were due, as these are expected payments from the Government to people who may be relying on that money it was quicly decided to get the story out. As someone mentioned above, at the poorer ends of society, those little handouts midway through the month can mean a lot to a working family.
This was widely reported at the time. It wasn't a bad batch job, it was a screwed up update of batch software, when it failed they tried to back it out and made a complete balls up
Sort out your timeline, the videoing of other customers was a few days prior to this incident, where she saw other customers buying multiple devices when she was refused.
It was on her return to the store and again refused service that led to her being "tazed".
The interesting point is the Police depts guidance. They can use a tazer to overcome passive resistance - wtf?
Because they can charge a differential to cover the SLA. If you run a business on the internet and your ISP has a problem with the line, you are going to want to invoke an SLA and associated penalties for loss of business.
Amen to that, my youngest spent his first three months in hospital with a massive haemangioma on his head/neck. The complications that ensued meant he had platlet and cryoprecipitate transfusions every 4 hours for the first two weeks, a short course of chemo to try and shrink the blood vessels in the growth, a stay in a Paediatric ECU, 2 procedures to fit a central line as he ran out of veins.
If he had been born in the States, there is a very good chance I would have been bankrupted, so while the NHS has it's many faults, quite a few I saw up close, I am very greatful to the system.
Whilst there are many things to admire about the US, the idea that I have to use vacation time to have a medical procedure and recovery time is just offensive.

That's where EY are going, they've already shifted their devs to Tata and are moving their Ops people next, now they offshored everything they could.

Almost certain some clown added this software to a gold image for deployment
What's the chances someone opened up a KMS server and said help yourselves?

The offshoring decisions regarding IT were taken several years before the bank was taken into public ownership.

No, the govenment stake is about to be sold off at a very low rate to force it back into private hands. Someone will make a killing.

Viewers in Europe don't pay for it and are not the intended target audience.
When my youngest was in hospital they had keypad door entry systems, only they were all set the same and only a single digit was worn.
keep hitting that button till you hear the click, saves waiting 10 minutes for a nurse to appear
My niece once asked me why Pink Floyd were covering the Scissor Sisters.
Not exactly a mile through the snow, the site appears to be on the edge of a fairly large town.
I think the poster was referring to High Definition, rather than Hard Disk Drive.
Did you even read the article you linked to?
The author says the idea has been debunked, and even explains hoe a tsunmai is formed.
Nice rant, but for once, the Mail gets this one right
So you admit you were wrong and he was right, but still try and make it seem the other way around?
are you my ex-wife?

Would that be the merged entity of British Petroleum and Amoco which is called BP?

UK businesses generally have to pay for onsite support as well at time of purchase
