Point taken, but then large corporations can define which version of which browser or JVM is standard and installed on their users' machines, n'est-ce pas?
Their corporate machines, yes. But I am an off-site worker (embedded as a contractor elsewhere) so need to use my personal machine at home to do my time cards, expense reports, etc.
Yeah.NET versioning seems to be a clusterf--k in its own way. I thought you can have both at once? In fact I remember asking myself something to the effect of, "Why do I have to install 1.1SP1 if I have 2.0?"
I've had Java disabled for years, and have only ever had to enable it for broadband speed test applets.
Then you are very lucky, and likely don't work for a ginormous company whose only way to not make things in ActiveX is to make them in Java. My timesheet program = Java. My Expense Report software = "Extensity" which seems to only like one version of the JVM.
Lucky you!
I remember a similar thing happening at Drexel around the 1993-95 timeframe. The coolest thing (I thought) was that the hazmat team had a converted lunch truck that was a library on wheels. All kinds of 3-ring binders, I assume mostly MSDS sheets.
Now they're prolly all on Toughbooks. At least I would hope...
No, this is FOX. Which means that any sport can move the schedule around on you. Now, I'm no sports fan, but I am familiar with the Heidi Bowl. What gets me about FOX is that they'll gladly push a show around (mostly the Sunday evening animation blocks) for the post-game show. The game is over, and they'll overrun other programming to sit around and talk about what already happened they will provide some grand insight into what YOU JUST SAW. THAT pisses me off.
It may be overkill, but at work I use "Trac" ( http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ ) tied to my personal SVN sandbox. You should have something similar for any big project anyway. Then I have different categories like "SysAdmin work" etc.
Three engineers are drinking it up at the bar - an Electrical, a Mechanical, and a Civil. They begin to argue what kind of engineer God is.
The Mechanical Engineer says He must be Mechanical - "all the physics involved with bipedal walking, the way joints and tendons and muscles all work together, the way the frame of the skeleton supports it all..."
The other Engineers go along with him, and have another round...
The Electrical Engineer says, "I think he's an EE. Remember Descartes - 'I Think, Therefore I Am'. All thought processes are tiny electrical impulses running around in the brain. And then the entire nervous system that controls all the previously mentioned muscles are electrical also. The feedback from all the senses are electrically based!"
So the Mechanical decides to give in, and the Civil offers to buy the next round...
At this point, they've been drinking for a while. The Civil Engineer decides it's time for his coup de grace - "I respect both of your analyses, but I think God was a Civil Engineer!"
The Mechanical replies, "Surely you must be joking! The only thing that would relate to civil would be the skeleton; but unless buildings can walk I still think that's my area of expertise!"
The Civil replies, "Yes, but only a Civil Engineer would run a sewage line right throughout man's recreation area!"
Ba-dum-dum-dum. It's an older than dirt joke, but I didn't see it up here yet, and I fleshed it out a touch.
Here in the People's Republik of Maryland, it is the Motor Vehicle Administration. I guess they think that the acronym DMV has too much bad customer service baggage.
I put the AKA for ppl outside of this sick sad state.
Sounds like my ex. First name: "Jo Ann", no middle name. Then to make things even worse, in our dorm there was a guy name Joe A. with the same last name! So sometimes the mail person would assume Jo A. was a misspelling (along with the wrong apt number... morons!).
I hate to admit it, and to the day I die will hate my parents for it, but my middle name is Demetrius. That's fine if you have a similar name and it is ethnic, but I'm not ethnic. My brother's is Ashley and my sister is Eyre. I always sign with just a D, and the only people who insist on using the full middle name is the MVA (aka DMV).
I have actually considered a legal name change to drop it to just D.
Yeah, credit reports usually have the multiple aliases. In fact when I bought my house, one of the bazillion forms was an AKA form listing every permutation of my names and initials. However, my credit report also shows my spouse's name is "X" so you never know (no, I'm not married).
...Real Estate rentals! I would like to rent out my townhouse after I sell it but would like it to be a corporation that holds it so I am not personally liable. Unfortunately, I think that would involve closing costs, etc since I am basically selling my house to the corporation... but a neat idea, nonetheless.;)
On a web site for my condo association (please, no Nazi jokes!) we have the newsletters in DOC format. But I created them in OpenOffice, and I have a link to a "free DOC editor" which just goes to OpenOffice.org. I have a similar link for "free PDF reader" for the PDF files we have.
Not that retro... I got it for Christmas after reading about it in the 'what can I play with my sweetie' thread. The moon got upset and left so it won't be present for the Moon Festival. So a chicken bestows upon two bunnies their marks of courage - a flower pot and an umbrella, that they wear on their heads. So you have to go and convince the moon to come back. That's just messed up.
My cat is retarded. She LOVES the taste of adhesive. Any kind she can get. She loves the USPS Priority cardboard mail boxes - that strip is SO tasty. I cannot leave the packing tape with the handle on it in sight or she will lick the tape, and if she goes long enough she will barf. The other day she was paying too much attention to the pile of mail on my floor. I look and see she was licking the sticky edge of a bubblewrap envelope. Ew!

PS. She never chewed any cable. If she were to hit my expensive component video cables, she'd be flying out the back door!

My laptop had it available last night...?
Oh, and of course, I unchecked the "critical" update of IE8.

Try the Firefox "Showcase" plugin. (I did a quick search here, and didn't see it listed yet). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1810
Just another flaw in the system.
Come and see the flaws inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being modded down!

Until Comcrap decides to tell your modem to block port 25. Been there.

I think the last two LOTR movie tie-in games on the PS2 were quite fun. And one of the few video games that the woman was able to play too.

You can do a quick google search for the images of the bunnies to verify.
