My sources tell me that overtone singer Anna-Maria Hefele [1] has been signed to an exclusive contract to do all system sounds for Windows 10. A sample of the start-up sound can be heard at 00:03:25 here: [^].
[1] Rumors have it that Lisa Girard was considered, but her agent replied that she refused to give up using Win XP.

My Windows 8 experience left me wanting to change my start up sound to Sam Kinison yelling, "Oh, Oh, OHHHHH!"

I prefer the sound Sherlock's phone makes when The Woman sends him a text.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

I didn't know one could sing through a thong... I'm obviously not equipped for it, but apparently she's mastered that talent. Thanks for sharing.

Haven't gotten one in the mail since last Thursday. Is it just me?
I've gotten the rest of the newsletters, so it's not a blocking thing.

Just you...

Was that a change last week? I've been getting the Daily Insider since...forever...and it just stopped on Friday.
Shrug. I checked the box, we'll see what happens in the morning.

Settings sometimes randomly change here. It has happened to me several times.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

There are so many industries that software development and related services can apply to. I'm just curious what industries you all work in. I personally work in the healthcare industry, for a company that supports and manages various hospitals, physician practices, etc., around the United States. I've also done development in a manufacturing environment and in a letter shop/printing service.
How long have you been in your industry, and do you still enjoy it?
Before I landed my current role, I had been thinking for a while about how I would like to get into development in the healthcare industry. I don't know exactly what it is about healthcare that grabbed my interest, but I've loved it so far, though I've only been here for almost two months. It's a wonderful company, the work is plentiful, I have plenty of exposure to the latest technologies along with maintaining software built on older technologies. I feel confident that I will be able to grow here for a long time.
The reason I say "specific industry" in the title is that I know there are so many industries, but some places don't necessarily specialize in one single industry. If you do contract/consulting work on your own, for example, you may work with all sorts of different industries.

I don't. Financial now, transportation a couple of times, education, manufacturing, "adult" once.

Chris, what's small water? 
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

Big water: H2O
Small water: h2o
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

My common thread has been the third-party application suite (OSISoft PI), not the industry.
Started in cereal manufacturing working with automated product routing and had an opportunity to work with the PI sysetm.
From there it was pulp and paper industry; again had an opportunity to use the PI system along with other developer tools.
Now, major utility working specifically with the PI system; I was recruited to work on the system directly and have enjoyed every minute (next month will be 3 years here).
