Additionally it is something that has happened from time to time due to other things like missing synchro between servers. M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, between the physics and chemistry[1] prizes, it really seems like the committee thought, “that AI thing is big, we should do something”. The peace prize seems often hit or miss (all three non-science ones IMO). The Obama one was just ridiculous. This year’s seems reasonable-ish. [1] the chemistry one makes more sense, but it does sound like it hasn’t had much benefit yet[^]. TTFN - Kent

and this is why, when people say, "Follow the science..." it's far more important to follow the money. Decades ago, I "helped" a grad student that was doing some ground breaking research in gallium arsenide photovoltaic semiconductors. He published his results 1 week after some other person published theirs. Didn't matter the data, first person gets to be declared the expert.

Couldn't recall that when someone mentioned Jackal the other night. Definitely was the one I was looking for though.

No, the shuttle disasters were a result of management interfering in design and safety decisions. Worth a watch if you’ve never seen it The Challenger Disaster - YouTube[^]

The are some phrases in English that use "Dutch" in a derogatory manner, e.g. "Double Dutch" meaning "nonsense". I expect that "Dutch Roll" is more of the same - using a yaw to initiate a roll being just the bass-ackward kind of thing that a Dutchman would do.

The animation is scary. Lucky escape for all passengers. The Delta speed was such that brakes were really effective in stopping it.

The rate of change around level 10 is at tenths of a percent. Visual Basic is almost twice as high and COBOL is only 0.6% lower. Matter of fact Visual Basic percentage change went down in the in the last month than the entire value for Fortran. If you want to get excited then C, C++, Java and C# together dropped an amazing 10%.

All generalities are false.

I didn't think that orthopedic shoes would help, but I stand corrected. I saw a burglar kicking in his front door. I asked what are you doing? Working from home. For our anniversary, I told my wife: I will get you diamonds. Nothing would please me more, she said. Well, Ok then. "A little time, a little trouble, your better day" Badfinger

Richard Deeming wrote: and Microsoft have refused to sponsor the project, or pay for a support contract. To be fair Microsoft has 200,000+ employees. So there certainly is no single person keeping track of this nor making the decisions. And then as far as it goes who exactly made the request for support from Microsoft and who refused it? I can see some very low level manager just not wanting to fill out the paperwork.

Sander Rossel wrote: I've got this theory that at least 90% of programmers are a bunch of bunglers My theory is that 80% of people are average. 10% are excellent. 10% are not very good. That after all is basically how normal distribution works. But of course one must keep in mind that people are complex. As such they might suck at one thing but be great at another. Time, complexity and economics will always have an impact on any idealization that one might have started with. Not to mentioned efforts that and up only half done due to some 'better' idealization halfway through. So no point in me agonizing over might have beens when I wasn't even around to see what those people had to go through.

Correct, I was just using an example of something that obviously makes sense the way it is, without requiring much explanation. I had two examples in fact.

As far as I know, there are many fonts and styles of graffiti and tags and each has its own name
