Thinking about it, if the luminescence surrounds the black hole, then we should not be able to see through it into the blackness. What we have in the picture is a section through a black hole isn't it. Or are we lucky to be located just where there is a gap in the aura (or whatever it's called) from our point of view. I've got a headache... We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Crikey! Do you actually use that? We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

That wasn't a good idea. Those little paper discs were actually quite dangerous. We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Two factor authentication is a PITA! F'rinstance I couldn't log on to my mobile phone supplier's web site to report that my phone was dead. They insisted on sending an SMS with a code. Der!!! We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

I have used MVC for straightforward projects but I have to say that it can become too complicated for some applications. In these cases a good mix of javascript and json does the job a lot better than MVC or some of the other frameworks (Xamarin. I'm thinking about you...) I'm a great believer in the KISS principle.

It often issues warnings when there is also an error. Otherwise you're on your own... We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

I use Classic Shell. It can be configured to look like a Win7 start menu. It allows access to the kiddy blox menu if you need it, handles Win+X menus too and it seems to be very stable. Best of all, its FREE!!! We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Yes. I take your point. My issue is with a recent employer who insisted on storing dates as integers or strings or even decimals in his database. I can't remember seeing a single DateTime or Date object. See where I'm coming from? We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

In any case, why would you sort a date as a string? We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

The conspiracy theorists probably submit that the Vatican has deliberately done this in order to prevent the masses from learning the truth about whatever it is they might be hiding. We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Tell that to my colleague whose 6 month old laptop has just suffered severe bit rot in its SSD. When I asked if he had a backup he put his head in his hands... We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Whatever happened to "make a backup before you change anything"? Of course, if the update sneaks up on you then you don't get to make that backup. Incidentally, what's with all the garbage that gets pushed out with all these updates. For the record, I don't have a 3-D printer. I don't use virtual reality, I'm having enough trouble with real reality. I don't like 3-D paint. It's horrible. I no longer use Skype since MS broke it. The Mail app is useless to me. Cortana seems to be deaf in my part of the world. And so on. All this stuff gets re-installed whenever I try to remove it. Just to please the sales department I guess.

Crash my PC? Oh I'm used to that. It happens all the time since I went to Windows 10.

Reading this morning, about the error that seems to have locked several hundred million dollars of Etherium crypto currency, I wonder how many CP members are allowed to poke around in live systems. To me it seems like wandering around a minefield with closed eyes.
