And (possibly) famous for a passive aggressive quote. Robert Hooke, whose work Newton may have relied on and then disputed the value of, was described as short, and it's believed the quote was a dig at him.
At one place, about 25 years ago, the passwords were automatically generated every month but because they were complicated they were printed out and left on your desk.
It's not unusual for there to be rules about moving books, papers, or anything with writing on it. So if someone sees a floor covered in books it's reasonable to wait until they've all been moved by someone responsible for them before restarting the work.
I'm guessing that's what this comes down to - ask a question, it's sent to a server, parsed, runs a web query, then returns an answer - so it's hardly surprising a device made by Google wins.
Past experience says that the majority of these will be politicians, of both sides, making a long rambling statement which is intended to show them being a great supporter of their constituents rights but will also show them having little to no knowledge of the topic.
They'll also ask "have you stopped beating your wife" type questions, want a yes/no answer to something which can't be answered that way, and expect answers from today be the same as from five or ten years ago.
3) Manager comes in at 8:30 and sees Reboot not starting to work until 9:30. Manager thinks Reboot is slacking.
4) Reboot goes home after everyone else does. Nobody sees Reboot do this so they don't know if Reboot waits just 1 minute or is working an additional nn hours. Manager thinks Reboot is playing the system.
Calling Excel "clunky and fragile" is accurate, but still too kind. It's fucking primitive in 2017, the financial software equivalent of coding apps in assembly language.
The good thing about cheap wired things is that they're cheap. I can leave them scattered about and if someone walks away with a pair I'm not too concerned.
NHS has over 1 million employees!? Time to start firing some fuckers.
From the NHS site:
The NHS employs more than 1.5 million people, putting it in the top five of the world’s largest workforces, together with the US Department of Defence, McDonalds, Walmart and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.
The NHS in England is the biggest part of the system by far, catering to a population of 54.3 million and employing around 1.2 million people. Of those, the clinically qualified staff include 150,273 doctors, 40,584 general practitioners (GPs), 314,966 nurses and health visitors, 18,862 ambulance staff, and 111,127 hospital and community health service (HCHS) medical and dental staff.
The NHS in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland employs 161,415; 84,000 and 66,000 people respectively.
3 or 4 years ago I used a chipless card in Sheffield, the machine read it OK but the staff didn't know what to do with the slip of paper which printed. A year before I tried the same card in Amsterdam, that required blowing the dust off the only mag stripe reader they had and getting the one person who knew how to operate it.
I did work briefly at a place where the "IT Department" would generate passwords every month and leave them in an envelope on your desk. You couldn't change them and they were long random strings, so you kept the paper rather than try to remember them. Of course the director who imposed the rule had his own password which was shorter, simpler, and never changed.

There is no such word as "centralized", you mean "centralised"

We also have crossings just for Pelicans.

It's a while since I've been there but it looked pretty green with lots of open spaces.

So it's fast and lightweight?
Is there an alternative that is as simple to use?
There's never a Scot when you need one.
I've been told by a couple of banks that chip & sig is better than chip & PIN because you don't have to remember another PIN.
Come on America, sooner or later you need to move out of the 20th century.
Only if you clean out your hovercraft first.

No points, so thanks for providing the link.
The correct answer was the one that matched the answer he had on his piece of paper.

$650 is only for recent high spec models.

Who issued it? I've been trying for years to get one.
IT Crowd was Channel 4, and "The Internet is coming" both kept up the quality and gave the series a fitting end.
