Hmm. My employer has us do 'business conduct' and other training every year. No one is exempt, including the president. It's not too arduous and can usually be completed in an hour or so. Completing the training is a condition for continued employment. I've never heard of anyone being fired for not completing it, but I wouldn't want to work with anyone who was so argumentative and confrontational that they wouldn't comply with a reasonable request. I could see the company creating a policy for using AI-generated material on the job. Intellectual property rights are a significant concern for us in places, and given the cloudy (pardon the pun) nature of much AI training data, it's a reasonable response. As far as governmental regulation goes, I'm sure that's going to be a goat:elephant: from the word go. Software Zen: delete this;

I hope it was a joke as the provided link contradicts “1988” in the first paragraph. Quote: The C# programming language was designed by Anders Hejlsberg from Microsoft in 2000 and was later approved as an international standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) in 2002

One trick I just learned from an MS employee, if you are not having progress on your ticket. Close it and reopen s new case. There is a big difference in the case managers.

Ah, the unknown. Exciting, terrifying, challenging, mysterious, bound to be frustrating and also with great successes and stories. It's times like these, if you had a crystal ball to show you the future (in detail!), would you look into it? ;) Latest Articles: A Lightweight Thread Safe In-Memory Keyed Generic Cache Collection Service A Dynamic Where Implementation for Entity Framework

Myself the offset by 0:45 always annoyed me.

I still remember one geometry lesson about the Greeks measuring shadows at high noon in two cities at different latitudes on the same day and using that to calculate the radius of the earth. Similar to the trick of using your own shadow to measure the height of a tree base on the tree’s shadow.

I used to use Eudora, great client, good spam filtering & quick. Then Qualcomm made it freeware & then I couldn't get it to install on Win10 so went to Thunderbird.

Back in the prehistoric days when I worked at EMI ('79-80) one of the team I was attached to used to experiment with connecting electronic components across the mains and seeing how spectacular a demise he could elicit. Metal can transistors were quite pretty, giving a small volcano effect as they boiled, rupturing the can as sparks flew out of the hole, but for sheer impact large, low voltage (12-35V) electrolytic capacitors took some beating. Big bang and a cloud of vile smoke which would drift through the facility, which was a typical 30-40's era factory, composed of individual "lab/workshops" which had no ceiling of their own, so really just solid dividers open to the glass roof.

My office is about 5 1/2 miles from his tomb. Or about 2 hours' walk.

You Know it! :cool:

Using the .at version since i am german, so could be that. Rules for the FOSW ![^] MessageBox.Show(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_signature) ? $"This is my signature:{Environment.NewLine}{_signature}": "404-Signature not found");

Me: "who would write GUI code in assembler? that's not 10x that's insane" Also me: probably guilty of writing a few lines of inline-asm, in the distant past, to thunk from a static callback function pointer to an instance-method Also also me: (closes this web page and resumes reading tutorial on WebAsm)

Probably some Microsoft guys in the Lounge today. Do not escape reality : improve reality !

My fruit hate has evolved over time. I went from never in my house to my daughter having one. I still have zero interest for myself and will rib my coworkers about it. Just the same, use what makes you happy. Just don't tell me how awesome your fruit is while booted into a Windows VM to get work done : ;P Hogan

It's been several days and the server seems considerably more stable. I haven't had any of those crashes.
