Anybody reminded of Captain Flashheart while reading this?

they saved me a bunch of money when I had to buy dance shoes for my daughter. Sorry to see them go.

Try finding any public space in the USA where there is not blaring background music. Good luck. I always felt the reason Starbucks plays deafening music is to discourage people from lingering. It certainly has the effect on me, and I pity the poor employees.

Norwegian taxpayer funds sent direct to Indonesian politicians Swiss bank accounts. Marvellous !

love the colour. Took me right back to the Data General days.

He was terrific in that role. RIP.

The HAB Theory by Allen W Eckert !

So it's not the first random number they pull out of their ass then ?

That's hilarious. What's the difference between AT&T and the federal government ?

has to be itunes. What a bloated pile of crap that is.

never mind that. Just figure out a way to stop a real kitten defecating on your sofa.

I love 6502 - so clean and simple. Even after 35 years I still remember the opcodes in hex.

"It is uncomfortable to read the study’s authors praising labs for their careful work when they get things right, but offering sophomoric excuses for them when they get things wrong."

But not surprising.... they want to continue to work in the field, after all !

Excellent. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

Be in a business area that is expanding, where you are working with and continually learning from top quality people (colleagues and clients)

If you feel like you're treading water, or are in a back room kept far away from clients, move on !

My wife worked for a large law firm that decided to standardize on SAP. That's sensible - there are loads of legal practice management suites out there that are designed to cope with the peculiar demands of legal billing - so let's ignore all those and buy a product that doesn't do it, and spend millions adding customization to get what we want.

Of course the project was killed after 3/4 years and millions spent.

A good thing for SAP that in the large firms they target, mediocrity floats upwards!

Oh wow, a SAP rollout that went wrong! That never happens !

I wonder if a mussel can get high

The Skype UWP app is horribly buggy. My wife is forced to use Skype for Business, I swear the first 20 minutes of each call is people getting kicked off, people who can't be heard, etc.

Any parent has similar stories. Consumer law does not seem to apply to doctors and hospitals.

Imagine if you took your car into the shop - there is no price list, they won't give you an estimate, and for weeks after they send you random bills without indicating what it's for?

This affects everybody in the US, and I don't understand why it's allowed to continue, except the medical industry has bought off all the politicians

When your ten year old kid tells you they hate a piece of software that should be all you need to know.

It's atrociously bad.
