    You reckon? I'd say it's about the same level.

    However a bridge is equally useless whether it's the first span or the second that's down. Or indeed the third...

    Design has nothing to do with code. [...] Designers should be programmers

    Yeah, the guru part of your name is totally justified.

    I was walking down the road the other day and there was this Indian in a Tesla, stopped at a red light.

    Damn thing sounded like a misfiring diesel. Then I realised he was talking on his mobile.

    Tesla has a small volume luxury product that still loses money

    If they're making a loss on each unit they just need to make it up in volume.

    Have the lessons of 1990s been forgotten already?

    the difficulties of completely redesigning and reimplementing all those systems would make the Y2K bug look like just that - a tiny bug.

    Probably correct - or more organisations would have taken the "build a new one that's shiny with stripes" option.

    Wrong. It was an idiotic submitter and an incompetent editor that did it.

    In Milton Keynes, England, the naming convention is that the major roads are designated H<number> or V<number>; the Vs run parallel to the M1 (roughly North-South) and the Hs are at right angles to it.

    But there's a roundabout where a pair of the same kind meet at 90 degrees. Got lost there for an hour.

    type in a key number and have your software validated violated

    Don't like the sound of that.

  13. Yeah, but could you design a completely useless and at times positively frustrating GUI for it? Completely useless GUIs don't design themselves, you know.

    EVERYBODY has skeletons in their closets.

    Not everybody. Some of us mash the bones up, mix them with clay and make sculptures with it. Or plates.

    Insurance company? Why do you think a fucktard who runs such a slack outfit bothers with things like insurance?

    I wouldn't be surprised if his business has zero assets (all the equipment & vehicles being leased from a totally separate company owned by his cat).

  17. He didn't spell it "per say". He's in the top quartile just for that.

  18. I don't want to listen to news from a week or a month ago.

    Presumably you don't mind reading it, or you wouldn't be here.

  19. Only 95%? So "explained by other factors" is ahead by a ratio of only 20:1?

    Their HDs are shit too. I had a WD fail (I had two of the ones with the head parking problem which I found out about later than I should) and replaced it with a Samsung.

    The Samsung has failed, but the remaining WD is still fine.

    And you stayed in the business rather than becoming a tour guide or a plumber? I'd have bitten my fingers off.

    I did it once[1], for an hour, on a training course. That was back when most HTML was written by hand (and I can see why).

    Kudos for your staying power.

    [1] Hand cleaning HTML, not cannibalism.
