Not sure why I got downvoted. So I'll assume its someone who can't reply. For reasons. For the record, I have an ongoing argument with booking companies seemingly every time I book…

Just get rid of these filters. What exactly are you trying to prevent? It can't possibly help in the real world and these silly examples will just recur. If there's billing associa…

Never heard of "office hours" used this way. Must be a US thing. Its a good idea. Schedule a session with an expert or someone who is working on the thing you're interested in / su…

Obviously? I don't think this is true. People pay money for horoscopes and similar so there are people out there who take it seriously. I don't. I didn't say anyone was an idiot. T…

TV Studio execs at Fox cancelled Firefly. Prediction is hard. But studios in general are also very stubborn .

Accusations of being smug are usually made by people who chose a team and you've encroached or offended that team somehow. There's often an aspect of admonishment in using that wor…

This is very much the likely scenario. The money is in further DLC. The existing GTAO engine is "done" from their perspective. I'd guess also that the next version of the base engi…

Yeah, the whole peek/poke thing turned BASIC into a slow assembly language scripting language rather than actual BASIC language support. Still, it likely made the transition to ass…
