Yes, and he could wear them very well, but we all know the quality ones are made of a Waters based solution.

I thought it was because they slept all night, and worked all day. [^]

It's the little things about Microsoft that drive me nuts. We develop on Windows boxes using Visual Studio, and use TFS, etc. but we have to write better software than they do. here's today's forehead slap: We are implementing Apache Tika such that we can allow every application we have access to it as a service and thus we can scan pdf files, spreadsheets, docs, etc. and allow the apps to save that data locally and then search upon it. Once complete, we can literally scan and serve contents for all our needs - videos, images, you name it. I'm checking in the design document into TFS - you know, a Microsoft Word document is getting checked in to Microsoft TFS. They even give me a handy little hyperlink in case I want to preview my document. Rather than rendering, I get this lovely message "Unable to find appropriate display filter for file extension "doc"." Yeah, that's my fault - trying to use one Microsoft product to preview a file from another Microsoft product, notably for a file type that's existed since before there was a Google. :doh:

Just who is spurring them on?

She sure was a homely bridle...

I am always forced to check if the file contains my source code whenever I see the message: "This file was generated by a tool"

Our company was purchased by our largest competitor a few months back. Mass layoffs in two phases, they've phased out most of our product lines, but now? New insurance benefits for 2016: If you are a member of the purchased company, you will pay more PER PERIOD for your health insurances than we charge the parent company PER MONTH. I ran the number for the year; they're charging me an extra 2 weeks of pay for the identical coverage of the other employees. :mad:

WPF For JavaScript = How to get punished for the same thing twice.

Perhaps because cursing and demanding another perform in accordance to your self-fabricated expectations is not considered virtuous? :laugh:

EIGHTH DEGREE A blonde is upset for getting a parking ticket while parking in a no parking zone. She figured if it was a no parking zone, she wasn't in anybody's way.

It also depends upon where your client is - in America, for example, Arizona does not respect DST, so a client calling in from AZ Saturday, needs the same offset he/she needs today, but others around Arizona need the -1.

Number Six: Remember that the younger the developer you're interacting with, the more likely they are driven by ego more so that idealism. This isn't a bad thing, rather part of the learning process, but one must talk differently when reviewing code or pointing out weaknesses in order to compensate for the ego barrier you've long since overcome. Something a forty year old peer would consider a good suggestion, a youngster might take as a challenge, a threat or an insult. At least for me, I found life much easier after adopting this rule. I've been offered the management track many times, but I like tinkering with code, new code, strange code, any code, and as I age but young developers are still young developers, I've had to adapt by remembering the ego-maniac I used to be. :rolleyes:

How often does the answer to something you aren't thinking about suddenly "pop" into your mind? Quite often with me I must admit.

This suggests you weren't idle, just processing on a background thread.

Very cool, seeing as though I haven't used yahoo since the 1990's, I probably don't need a password anyway. :rolleyes:

I think it's quite cool; yesterday the timeline showed someone had replied to my post, six minutes before I posted it. :laugh:

In the US, it's Tubes - series of tubes.

I have never done it. It never made sense. I pay for gas, insurance, maintenance, repairs, I gain no equity, and am limited in the amount of miles I can put on the thing, and they charge me for damage. At the end of the term it's gone with your money, like it never happened. I have never understood the benefit to the consumer.

Sometimes road signs are placed after the junctions they relate to - to tell you what you have missed.

A U.S. comedian from the 1970's once commented that road signs should be on the back side of overpasses in reverse lettering so you could use the rear view to see what you just missed. A wise idea. :thumbsup: to Ireland.
