Yes but: a) we're not allowed to put phones in it due to the lithium content. b) I doubt in the moment of anger at the piece of shit, taking it home and politely disposing of it wo…

Ha that's hilarious! This one hit the ground at 70mph and basically exploded to bits.

You should try Microsoft support. Straight through to a human who knows what they are talking about without waiting EVERY TIME. Not only that, Office even works ENTIRELY offline. A…

Yes my wife threw her galaxy ace out of the car window on the M1 the other day because of a persistent lock up bug. However I've got a Samsung 840 Pro SSD and I'm rather happy with…

I tend to delete all the shit photos up front. I perhaps end up with 10-15 a trip that get kept (60-90 Mb off my D3100 in jpeg fine). Storage is cheap but ending up with so much no…

I'm sure some people are just crap hoarders. I've got a 128gb ssd and my data backup size for the last 30 years is about 12Gb including music and photos leaving the disk about 60Gb…

Acetate rocks, especially when its well written and you can pop into the prof's office and have a tea and chat and do some photocopying. I learned much more this way. Chalk, we spe…

It's not that high a success rate. We have escrow agreements and all sorts in place because people don't trust our SaaS.

It's definitely not balanced. It's a cat and mouse game with temporary advantages on both sides. However, all advantages are lost the moment someone legislates always in favor of t…

You are correct. I'd say magnify is the wrong term. It empowers people who have disingenuous motives.

Unfortunately technology's progression via marketing has turned it into a king of magic that is impossible to understand and is out of reach of them (past consumption). Look at mos…

I work remotely. Management were fine when they worked out they could stuck someone else at my desk :)

This is an interesting dilemma. I'd rather have no technology than live under oppression powered by it.

Always have deterministic known behavior :) We shot ourselves when we first implemented NHibernate by setting our transaction boundary at the wrong place. This caused all sorts of …

I think the interesting part about the BBC is that I agree they transmit at IQ average 100, but the upper standard deviation is quite high too :)

Her election success is only because the voting system here is biased and most of the population aren't really evolved past primate level. The media control the outcome of an elect…

Its not a drop in replacement. You have to write code/configuration (but not much). Its definitely suitable for your use case - we use it for the same thing. Feature set is compara…

Yep. I saw this with my own eyes once. I had a disreputable youth in the 1980s which involved trying to steal linesman sets (for phreaking) from those old yellow BT Bedford vans (a…

Until we start killing them (it will happen). Equilibrium is inevitable.

Bargain. The content is great across the board. I happily pay my license.

Nhibernate. No issues. To be honest we're shifting to java. Our license fees are well into 7 figures for MS stuff for no gain. This is the first step. Some subsystems are moving fr…

We had to throw nolock into a few things but to be honest, they should have been solved by better architecture and stopping the DB engine doing everything including app logic.

We plugged spring integration, spring batch and jasper in and we're sorted. The main problem with SSIS and SSRS is that you just can't put it in version control or scale it up inex…

Me too. Scary game. Nothing else has come near to it. As a tribute, my workstation and laptop are names xerxes and shodan.
