quoting marketing $$$t will get you banned from here. Seriously, I had a couple of multiple day meetings listening to stuff like this from the "sales guys" - I was the lone techie. I wanted to take the customer techies and kill my sales people.

Try CTRL+SHIFT+B - it toggles a bookmarks bar just under the URL/google bar.
When you click the star, it remembers the last set you used and adds it to that, but you can change that with the "Folder" dropdown that appears when you click the star.
It makes sense when you are used to it, but they do have an annoying habit of swapping the "done" and "remove" buttons.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Quite so. I noticed the shortcut keys as I was traversing the menus. Then again, I'll probably forget them. Might already have.

Thone who ask this question make an elementary mistake in assuming that "they" are capable of intelligent thought in the first place. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There's the problem! I need to be dumbed-down. Is there a google answer for that too?

I've got the Edge now, buggy at first but rapidly improving, I even read pdf's with it !
I'm using bookmarks a lot, but now I am at a point that I can't find anything because there are too many of them

Chrome is "special", even finding its version number was a challenge ...  ,

I agree Chrome is a nice browser but; In FireFox you can grab a tab and drag it down into the bar area or folder on the bar or whatever and it sticks. Tried with Chrome and it rips the whole page off into it's own browser window. Took me a couple of times before I figured out it wasn't going to do what I expected. So like you I asked Mr. Google and pretty much gave up. Their bookmarking sucks.

Does it mean we are an old community, or that all the hype over mobile not real?

Mobile is real.
If you are over 35, you are too old for this industry. Try having fun instead of killing yourself, "trying" to keep up with those that are younger, smarter, and require less sleep then you do. Yes, we are wise, but that really doesn't mean sh*t, now does it?

That was cheerful, really...

You asked a question, and I answered it. How would you have liked me to answer it?
No, we are not too old. Yes, we are too old. Perhaps, we are too old.

I would never have guessed you were that old.

I better make the most of the next 5 months then

Not really. There are two industries inside our industry. One is a lottery and the other one is knowledge based.
Lottery are shining web thingies and mobile apps. Products that, given sufficient supply of coke, coffee, and weeks, can be replicated by any group of students, anywhere. It's a lottery because you have to be on the right place in the right time to succeed. There is only one Twitter, even if the underlying app is less than impressive. Its capital today is the content crowd, not the app.
And than there are things that random groups of students can't replicate. In years. Because they are just too hard. Like DBMS servers, rockets, self-driving cars, pacemakers, etc.
Hence ... if you want a long lasting career in programming ... you have to grow out of the lottery stuff. My 0.05£.

Well Said Tomaz; But I want to add to your list, "business applications" a lot of these shining web/mobile things, actually don't process anything or do anything, they just look pretty

Reminds me of this quote. "To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid."
|
|
|
|

I like that. I was once young and stupid and full of myself. At my current age, two out of three ain't bad.
I was going to use the old standard, "age and treachery overcomes youth and skill", but I thought simpler was better.

Somehow, I hadn't heard that one. Nice. I am getting older and wiser as "we speak".

I couldn't find an attribution for it; it seems to have been around for quite a while.

Sounds like a Roman politician could have said it once. In Latin, of course.
