Have a punt on Dusty Carpet - He's never been beaten.

When did this paywall happen? I thought they weren't going to activate it intill September and I have seen nothing on their site about it.

You didn't find it funny because you don't have an 'enemy programmer'. I suggest you get one.

Yeah I saw that and I was confused as to why it was in the SB as it hasn't been posted multiple times on the site and it didn't contain 'JOTD' in the title.

They obviously like it.

My company is well and truly screwed. Some of you may remember a few months back I reported here that a hedge-fund had managed to secure a large stake in our company and we had to employ a 'poison pill' in order to fight them off, well, that didn't work as reported here by El Reg[^]. So basically we all work hard to turn a company into a $1 billion + profit making company, only for a small group of ultra-rich opportunists to come in, stop us investing in our future products, strip away all our capital then walk away with their short-term gains and the Company(and our jobs) destroyed. Capatilism does truly suck sometimes.

Yep definitely a Engineering student.

But at the top of your list does it say 'Make a list'?

Engineer? :-D

Well spotted.

Talladega. They're naming them after speedways in the States at the moment. Could have been worse we recently had projects called Neo, Trinity and Morpheus.

It is something I've always wanted to do and the people that sit either side of me are very fast typers (I'm hunt and peck) so I will definitely consider it. Did you just self-teach? I think my problem is that I was using the flat laptop keyboard and now I've gone to two screens with the laptop closed I have to use a raised keyboard as thats the one they gave me and it's the raised keys that are causing me problems. I could ask to see if they have a flat one but I'll only get that if my current keyboard is broken or has keys missing ........ ;)

Just been shared on a Project Issue Tracker for a new project and the first issue at the top of the tracker is 'Create a project issue tracker' and the issue is closed. :wtf: I think that has got to be the most pointless thing I have ever seen.

You know that's exactly what I did. :doh: Had to sheepishly get the pen out and fix it.

Thanks for that. Haven't been on the News sites all day but will have a look now, I will definitely watch the Panorama as well.

Yeah that's good but still means I need to open a new tab, got to that tab, and then go back to the mail tab. It's the last bit I find difficult as I look at the tabs for the mail tab but end up noticing the codeproject tab or something similar and distract myself and don't return to the e-mail for at least half an hour. Would be much better if it was a feature inside Gmail.

Google mail.

Dave won't know, he thinks the Caps Lock button was invented before keyboards.

Yeah I had noticed. Shame really because when your not some of your posts can be interesting.

Got fed up of writing long e-mails only to look-up when I finished typing to see that I had typed half of it in capitals and had to delete it all. (Why can't you just select all of it and de-capitalise it like you can change fonts etc*) So I've ripped my Caps-lock button out and binned it and I feel much better for it, I suggest you do the same. Just debating whether to remove the # button now as I keep pressing that a mini-second before I press return and I do a lot of command line Linux, but obviously I will miss it for comments. *I know some clever bugger is going to make me look stupid by telling me an easy way to do this.
