Yeah, but you're a Pom that has chosen to live in Queensland where it will soon be 1950. I don't think the weather makes up for that.

Only the smart one's did that. Free travel to a land sunshine and laid back living. Beats the piss out of grey and rainy all the time.

This morning, FireFox (Ver 25) started to display all of the various alerts and option-menus as full-screen. I can set them back by right-clicking the top bar and selecting restore, but I can't seem to get this to stick (nor do I know how it was invoked).
Anyone out there have a clue as to how to fix this? (Premptive: not by switching to IE, Chrome, etc.)
It's quite annoying.

A high end car is 100 million lines of code? My god, that's supposed to be in the car? Or are they talking about the design and manufacturing software / equipment, etc?
Well, it's not all Ruby code BTW - apparently RoR is used only for the front end. I imagine there's quite a bit of Cobol code still lurking in those cheapskate criminal thieving lying murderous insurance companies.

I'm a .NET and c++ developer, so Java bashing is right up my alley.

The wonders of maven[^] - like nuget, and other similar tools, it makes it far to easy to add just another framework to your application. When used as they were intended they are wonderful tools, but more often than not, they are used to create SaaS (Software as a Soup) software.

Try getting a replacement for your cars main computer, some have several - a high-end workstation comes cheaper. Implementing software that complies with MISRA[^] also tends to make the size of the codebase explode, and much of the code is a result of code generation tools that translate various homegrown logic languages into c.

yeah, right ...
"APPARENT" size of ...
from the NYT article used as a reference :
"According to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code. By comparison, a large bank’s computer system is typically about one-fifth that size."
I'd rather be phishing!

except that the "500M" lines of code is utter BS.
