Got me pegged to the T. Order could change daily though. Depends on just how bad that particular one is right now....

No. 4 - as I was up last night trying to fix my daughter's (Dell) laptop. It goes mysteriously blank during the boot cycle (which looked like a shutdown to the impatient) - following an unnecessarily long boot-pause with the Windows logo and animated looping "progress bar". The periodic "cleaning & polishing" of my spawn's PC's, now almost exclusively laptops, has been a ritual since the mid 1990's ! Satisfaction corner: The sick laptop, noted above, was surprisingly not infiltrated with a single virus (avast) or any malware (spybot) - so at least one of them has been listening. Also, there was FireFox, so IE has been unceremoniously dumped, too, (at Ver 6). Knowing that, at least sometimes, they were listening, does remove a bit of the frustration. For those with peaked interest - it boots faster and the black-screen delay is shorter before the cursor reappears. Also, with the re-enabled WiFi, she has at least one little light to look see at all times whilst it takes a break.
Off-Topic: the online specs say it has a Intel T2050 1.6 GHz Duel Core, but a little sticker on it say "unicore" (or something like that). Does anyone know what they're talking about?

Although all of them are on my list, 9 and 8 have to top the list. 9) My manger (who works from home half of the time) will email me on average 10 - 15 times a day. If you don't respond within minutes, she then calls and start off with "did you get my email"? Ugh! What a way to break you from debug mode.:mad: Then at the end of the day she will ask "did you get xyz done"? "How could I, I was talking to you all day?" 8) Documentation is another issue. We NEVER get documentation up front and the scope of everything we do grows as the coding progresses. Sometimes it just keeps growing and growing and we never finish. Somethng hotter comes up and the other project (which I have spent months on) gets shelved. X|

cuz i had a boat load of comments and hit the submit button on that web page thinking i didn't have to supply any email address or name... and all text i wrote vanished... unrecoverable... so you can add web developers to my list... - add those who can't develop without an ide and automated tool tips/code completion... - CMMI, six smegma, and any other qa program that doesn't add value... - those who think that SLOC can be estimated with any kind of accuracy... - those who can't program in a language like C/++ using pointers and think languages like Java and C# are better for all the wrong reasons... - web based SOA promoters who can't do the implementation, don't have any objective performance evidence or accurate test data, and try to use it for soft and hard real-time systems - those who complain about using svn - one "trick ponies" only code in a favorite language, can't code on a linux or unix target, scared of VxWorks, or have some other phobia... - visual basic hacks - software process people who get in the way and don't add any value except burn valuable hours on your charge number - companies who hire H1B visa holders when there is a universe of american talent in the country to do the job better, but they have some kind of hidden agenda for doing so - MT head industry experts who have never written a line of code professionally but provide all the answers to improving software development

How can they miss "someone (boss or coworker) watching over my shoulder when I'm writing code"?
My signature "sucks" today

Here's one for you, the lack of documentation not because the developer did not want to document the app but so that the sofwtare vendor can be free from as much liability as possible. Case in point - Financial Reporting. If a sofwtare vendor who deals in some type of accounting software, includes reports in tehir product but not does not document the logic a report uses to derive its numbers then the end user can never really claim that the report or the application is broken. How is that? If you do not have in writing hopw something is supposed to work then it becomes very diffcult to make the claim that it is not working.
