I thought this was just an allusion to the 5150 in the error message. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5150_(album) and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peavey_5150 So rockstar in this con…

This was actually the first thing I noticed too.

I agree with this. I've just got Windows 7 on my corporate desktop. Although there is wide adoption of Win 7 here, Win XP was running previously, and still is on a large number of …

Actually it shows 'Your order has been sent to Google Commerce Ltd.' Play shows 'Completed'. Which I assume to mean "the order has been successfully placed, you'll get the product"…

Payment hasn't been taken yet. Payment is taken when it ships, and you'll get your tracking number then too.

Lol thanks, although it's not that really an 'off the charts' type of salary. I think making this clearer would be much more helpful :) Edit: One more little snag: I encountered 'P…

This reported my percentile versus my age group as in the 100th percentile. This is flattering, however, you can't score in the 100th percentile. Other than that, this is a flawles…

I'd doubt whether there'd be much money in it from an HFT perspective; traditional trading might benefit from it, however. HFT shops co-locate, so they're running their code right …

I agree with what you're saying, I've seen it used to write up a text document! Talk about missing the point... Often equations are needed, along with graphing. It's very expandabl…

I have to agree with this comment. As unglamorous as it is, Excel is great, and you can also create some _very_ powerful software rather easily with VBA.

I did not know this, that's reassuring so thanks :) I can also believe that most users can't do select all or stuff like that; I've seen far too many regular folk copying one file …

I really wish they'd get rid of that awful 'ribbon' in the file explorer. It's very practical in Office applications, but for a file explorer it's just a bit too much, imo.

Traditionally, with an IPO that's become as popular as this one, you have a representative from the company being listed ring the bell on the trading floor of the exchange they're …

Can't view people's icons, which is a bit of a hindrance (Twitter is banned at work) Perhaps mirror the images? Or use Gravatar? Or ignore people working at BigCorps, they may not …

Yeah it's pretty impressive parsing of natural language to form financial opinions. The Bloomberg website or Bloomberg terminal? There's a big difference between the sorts of thing…

Check out http://bullbear.ca/ - it was posted here before and is quite interesting. (I'm not involved with it)

In what way is it a waste of talent? Additionally, how are they occasionally destroying the world's economy?

Wow, I didn't know this! Cheeky buggers :)

If they disclose who they are hiring for then what's to stop a candidate applying to the company directly? Cuts out the recruiter and they lose their fee. I've known this has happe…

I concur. There isn't even a little description to say WHAT I'm leaving my details for.

Yes, and I assume it was to be assessed with what the teacher, and the curriculum, were instructed to assess. Just because you feel MySQL is better doesn't mean you should get bonu…

As you should've done. MySQL wasn't being taught.

This is true. Additionally, however, at my university I was told by the department admissions head that it isn't a requirement because it limits your set of applicants. The univers…

Assuming you're studying computer science at university, then programming is also not a requirement because it's simply not necessary to know before you start the degree.
