That's a Bit rude. If you ask someone to Nibble[^] you, they might have a Word[^] with your manager.

Let me ASCII a question, do UCS bicker on like this for the rest of the day?
If not I say we cut this Short as this had been going on for far to Long!

Guid idea.

I used to have Skype compete very rudely, i.e. steal the port, with Apache, but I've never seen SQL Server do it.

As many people point out - if it's alternative medicine it's not medicine.
Obligatory James Randi joke:
Did you hear the one about the man who overdosed on homeopathic medicine?
He forgot to take his pills.

As Tim Minchin said: "You know what they call alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine."

Like alternative music isn't music? I think the point with alternative medicine is not an alternative to medicine, but an alternative to conventional medicine. This is not to say that homeopathy is a valid alternative though, while I, only personally, do grant other alternatives, like herbal medicine (especially certain herbs  ) some credence.

Another gem linked from the same page:
"Slicing off a bug's penis is bad for reproduction, study concludes"
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

I never sliced anything of a bug, so I should be able to reproduce just fine

Still funny to this day, and will probably be until the end of all homeopaths.

Thanks for posting. You don't have to read the blurb. Just the flow diagram makes it worthwhile!

Excellent image - nice find.

I just bought a 4k monitor. Thanks to you I just found my new favorite use for it - the hi-res APODs.  Also our "old friend" looks kinda battered over the time.

|
|
|

I have one too, and sadly, if you want to display the whole thing, you have to crop it vertically nearly by half, which means that horizontally it doesn't fill half the screen.
I get my 4K wallpaper fix from interfacelift.

True about not being able to view it whole but still a wast improvement. I will check the site, but I must say I'm not a fan of desktop wallpapers (I like the pictures though). I like a simple color desktop background. It's less confusing to me.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, TBH I'm the same--my desktop background's been a black screen since the days of Windows 3.1, but that doesn't prevent me from seeking out and collecting nice high-res pictures.

So I have a Ford which I really like. It has a built-in GPS and I just had an email form them urging me to update the maps. Ok, sounds like a good idea.
They want $149+tax!!! What the elephant!!! I pad you a mighty sum for this car and now you want to charge me $150 for the privilege of updating one of the integral safety features of the vehicle???
I shall be sending them a snotty letter this evening: I am outraged that they charge for this. 
|

|

Integral safety feature? Surely it's just a nice to have. Incidentally when I was looking at a new car I decided against an inbuilt sat-nav for the very reason that it's costs a fortune to update them. Went for a separate unit with lifetime updates instead, though I was tempted to just use google maps.
