Living in the nearby town of Baldock I sometimes have no choice, I try to get through as quickly and as quietly as possible.

If they can get in, ie: through a broken window or ar door where they broke the lock, wouldn't you think they would get out the same way they got in?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Why do you need DNS anyway, just address it by IP address.
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a static IP address how do you know what that IP address is, it could and will change.
|
|
|
|
|
IP is not fixed, it chops and changes at the most inconvenient moments.

So I recently started working on LInux, kernel, having spent very many years in the Windows kernel, and I have to say, I actually find it more fun.
It is simpler in many ways, there are less hoops to jump through to get the code working, and you can of course dig right into the code, but it just seems a less sterile environment to work in, as if you are closer to real engineering rather than working to the dictates of the opeerating system.
Anyone else feel the same?
I should probably add that I am not working on PC hardware, but on ARM devices.

Depends what you call fun! Kernel programming in any environment is probably outside that for me.
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel is fun to work in, you really control the machine, and after so many years its easy.

Excellent, then you can go and answer my Q&A question on RDP.

RDP? Whats that. Sounds a bit high level for me.

Yea, see, for an engineer, Linux is just more fun!

Or are we really getting some idiots this year?
Today alone we have have a "would-be" reference article that consisted of a link to wikipedia and nothing else, and a QA question asking when ASP.NET will be out of Beta and into release so he can start using it... 
I know, I know, we tend to get a lot of morons this time of year, but even so this years crop seems to be reaching a new low.
OK, I feel better now, carry on!

Andy Williams – It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Lyrics
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year

I don't want to rub it in, but actually this is pretty SFW where I work. We're 99% guys and all with a pretty good sense of humour (including the boss), so I think most of us would find this funny.
Actually, I'm going to forward the link to all of my collegues tout de suite (including the boss)...
