not a windows error message, that's an Award BIOS error message. The AMI bios version asked you to press F1 to continue.
in either case, you did have to press a key if no keyboard detected (and BIOS not config'd for no keyboard operation). I assume the devs got a chuckle.
old co-worker of mine worked in a packard bell assembly line as a supervisor. Their hiring practices amounted to the mirror fog test; fog the mirror then you're hired.
He had to go around and write 'ANY' on the spacebars on the assembly line because of how many times he was asked that question.
OMFG I hope that's real. That's right up there with sending the private to go get batteries for the chemlights, and the supply sgt telling him he needs an ID-10-T form.
lulz, no. It's been publicized and pushed in every 'Q' sku chipset.
It is effectively a RILO card embedded into every workstation, on steroids.
The sales pitch to enterprise was: Your IT dept can remote wake, apply patch, and shut back down overnight, thus not bothering your staff, or consuming work hours to accomplish patching network wide.
And this is what a lot of us wanted when working on the ME, but there were other forces at play.
Part is that there is/was a grand plan that streaming services could use the ME to lock content to a given machine, allowing download and play offline capability, but IDK if that ever came to fruition, I think Netflix went another way with that.
Can you also add something about treating people like humans and not making your dev team feel like a bunch of chumps by ignoring them then shipping all the dev out of country because you didn't like what your devs were saying? (Hint, there were a lot of us against parts of this).
Also, as long as you're in the ME you can tell him it's: * on * in suspend * in hibernate * off and * connected via wired LAN * connected via WiFi
It'd still suck balls, just an FYI. It's lower spec than the lowest end Atom, and I *think* lower spec than the Edison module.
You'd think I'd actually know the specs for the damn thing with how much code I wrote for it... but I don't. I only remember it never felt like it had enough always live RAM and it was just fast enough to get done what needed to be done.
No, if you want to make money off a compromised ME mining BTC or any other crypto currency is *not* it. Vastly more valuable in a botnet as a distributed C&C node for other devices, or as a mail relay, or proxy/VPN endpoint.
why does the language add a fragility to the parser that is broken by something so easily?
And note that the opposite issue, a dev that contributes to multiple projects will find that they have to maintain different editor profiles to match the projects' needs. All it takes is errantly working on a project with the wrong settings in the editor and the same issue manifests.
In both cases the language has imposed a work penalty on the process of contributing code that can not be avoided. That is an issue.
you're focusing on the issue without also acknowledging when I point out *why* it's still an issue:
all it takes is one idiot/mistake
If I'm taking in code from others and one of those patches is crap then poof. As a result I have an extra layer of work (whitespace validation) for *all* contributors because some may be an idiot.
nah, semicolons are there no matter what. Changing editors can *totally* mess up the whitespace. Yes, literal spaces will help, but all it takes is one idiot/mistake and the codebase is pooched.
That and the fact that 2.x code can't run virtually unmodified on 3.x interpreters really pisses me off. Perl, for all its warts, just needs
use perl4;
at the top of the file right after the crunchbang and you're good to go with an old as dirt script on the newest interpreters.
Well, no... Just that they're much more transparent about what they did, and in all the cases I cited have actively acknowledged they have too much and are looking to give back, so... I think they seriously would have no fucks to give if in office, unlike our current POTUS who is so image crazy and by comparison to my list is just scraping by, so is using the government to enrich himself (like nearly everyone else in DC to be fair).
I also voted for Larry Flint when he ran for governor, as all his skeletons are in the front yard on display, not hidden away where (the average politician) hopes they're not found.
I may have been unclear... I meant to imply the content (news) creators are thinking "It's not fair" that Google and FB is getting a bigger slice of the pie.
Thing is, FB and Google pour piles and piles of money into their infrastructure to actually handle the massive load that ultimately funneled users to the news sites, so I think they do deserve a rather big hunk of the pie...
And I agree that this is how it works in print. I think the sour grapes are that Google and FB are making 10x(?) more than the news agencies and they see all that money and want more for themselves.
The wrong rich people... I seriously thought I'd *NEVER* say this, but I wish Bill Gates was more in charge of our government... Or Warren Buffet. Or anyone else who's actually self made really. (Except Ellison, he's just too much a dick).

Depends, is Nestle run by Calvinists? If so then sure...
He certainly has a hard-on for the Calvinists...
Of course I always visualize Calvinists as folks who play http://www.picpak.net/calvin/calvinballcalvinball
your guess is as good as mine, I haven't been there for well over a year, and not on the ME team for over 2.
well you know... some people laugh at the world burning...

That's my issue with the whitespace.

No wonder Skynet tries to kill humanity, we grew it in Excel! It all makes sense now!

I figured 10K would be an inflection point, it would either run or pop. Obviouslly it's run.
Next one is just before 50K and after that 100K
