    Well that's one strategy the Russians could use. Alternatively, they might just try having 50 times as much of everything as whoever they're fighting.

    If the company has already announced the launch date or signed on customers, then pushing out that date can be costly in terms of money or reputation.

    Doctor, it hurts when I do *this*.

  11. I'd say far more important than exact hardware duplication of a production environment, would be ease of replication of real production data into QA servers for replication of issues.

    It's a bugger because of dependences (it goes pear shaped when this customer orders this product, which is made from parts supplied by these vendors... and none of them are in your test system), but you can cover most of it by making a copy of prod once or twice a month.

    Unless, as someone mentioned above, you're too cheap to pay for the hardware. Then you'll be paying for developers to do data entry into your dev system, and it won't work because something will be different.

    I'm wondering whether I could do dail-up if I needed to with what I've got in the room. I've got an old Psion gold PCMCIA modem. There's a couple of 386 lappies, Win 95/98 CDs somewhere and I know I've got the drivers on floppy - I found it yesterday while looking for something else.

    I bet the modem cable is missing. The bloody thing used to disappear half the time when I still used it.

    Did everyone suddenly forget how to use pen and paper for records?

    Not sure if they forgot how, but it seems someone forgot why they got rid of them in the first place. That's if "he" actually know in the first place.

    Do you think they kept a load of clerks waiting in the wings, just on the off-chance? After all, businesses have a tea-chest in the basement full of lever operated adding machines packed in grease don't they?

    Leave was a vote for some totally unspecified other thing - is it better, is it worse? No one knew because no one actually stated what the other thing was and even three months later it looks as if we still don't know.

    It was a vote for a hard Brexit, i.e. totally leaving the common market.

    What, you fell for all that stuff about "the Germans/French will still want to sell us their cars/cheese?" LOL. Peasant.

    Go on, try and work Africa into that like last time, you mong.

    It's remarkable how many Brexit supporters come out with some variation of "I'm not racist, but..." and seem to be very defensive when talking about their reasoning.

    Probably a conditioned response to cretins[1] like you who label anyone with a different opinion as somethingist.

    [1] No prejudice is intended against inhabitants of large Mediterranean islands.

  24. Those so-called "other countries" are ancient and sophisticated cultures that were building elaborate temples and writing (albeit upside-down mostly) when our honky ancestors were swinging from trees.

    Imposing our environmental standards on them is literally cultural rape in the actual ass.
