Mickeysoft was sometimes scary in the past, but at some point in the last ten years they finally went over the edge for good.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Unfortunately true.
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.

How about a Crystal Reports Clown with VB6 ballons? (Not sure what it would look like, and I likely DON'T want to know!)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Oh, I think it's plenty scary.
If you'd like to up the scares though, how about Lotus Notes?

Go as a team Bloatus and CR, now that is going to curl the toes of any self respecting developer over the age of 30.

I had to work with blotus goatse once. I ran away screaming and so fast I bet you Usian would have been second if it were a race. Then I ended up half the way across the world in a continent that calls itself an island.
Now here's box jelly fish, cone snails, blue ringed octopus, mammals that mainly move around by jumping!?!, spiders the size of a tennis ball, man eating crocodiles, sharks, 9000 types of venomous snakes and a craptillion poisonous insects and sh*t. But none of them as chilling as blotus goatse. Not one.

While I agree with you on Bloatus I grew up in Oz and I have trouble understanding new arrivals attitude towards our fauna.
box jelly fish - only in queensland and they have nets during the season
blue ringed octopus - I once saw one after spending 2 days hunting for them in rock pools
jumping mammals - bloody tasty beasties done in a red wine sauce
spiders - the other use for a thong (flip flop)
crocodiles - yet another use for a thong Google[^] - and poached in a white wine sauce is delicious
sharks - yah you got me there, nasty bastards.
snakes - used to catch then for pocked money when I was a nipper
insects - see spiders.
We don't have bears, tigers and other monstrous beasties that will eat you!

We moved the clock back last night, so I had an extra hour to sleep but I feel slow this morning...
That's maybe because of the perfect weather that calls you left yourself under a tree and do nothing? I should check it...

In my case, it's because the cat can't tell time...

The cat's timing is perfect and that's why they don't need any clocks, nor politicians that turn them back and forth as they please.

My overseas friends, do any of you live in a country where women legally get paid at a lower rate than men, or even if it is not done but legal to do so? This pay per work ratio, not gross income, as women statistically take more time off work, and throw maternity leave into that, they often take home less.
I need some info for a fellow Saffer that says he knows of no Western country where it's legal, and I think he is wrong there, and I wouldn't mind citing a few other countries such as in the middle East and Asia.

Yes it must be going on, but it can be masked in ways, to make it hard to see if it is going on. Just because it is Legal (unlikely in any country where there are discrimination laws) or not, doesn't mean that an employer could be doing it deliberately, but it may come across as if they are.
What I mean is, when people negotiate for a package, or are made an offer, these offers can be subject to lots of factors, past experience, years in role, competitor experience etc. etc. If you are a poor negotiator, you could end up way off your peers.
In the middle-east where you have multi-nationality environments, you can get huge pay spreads for the same role, e.g. lowest 70KUSD to highest over 200KUSD for doing the same job role. I am sure this occurs globally.
Edit: See this page: Equal pay for equal work - Wikipedia[^], it give you a break down on some of the countries and laws that apply.

Happens all the time, but hidden mostly...Women do not complain as afraid to lost any possibility to employment on the long run (bad news travel fast?)...

In germany is a lot of discussion in this field, but when in statistics all facts like education, experience and overtime work is factored in, the gap comes down to 5-7%. And that is the difference between some good and some very hard negotiations.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Tricky. As Richard pointed out this can occur in UK. Also add Aus & NZ to that bag.
What's happened there is the government has allowed companies to offer individual contracts to staff and ignore the old union mandated standard terms. So even as Dave pointed out in Middle East 2 identically skilled/experienced people doing the same job can be on different pay (and also bound by contract not to discuss with each other.)
While govts in most "western" countries can mandate minimum wages, that's the limit - even hen can be exceptions ('on training' and very long internships for instance.)
The most common killer these days is companies putting staff on "part time" contracts, a good example is supermarket workers - even if they are doing 40 hours + per week. What this often lets the company further remove from entitlements are items (not always, but quite often) such as holiday pay, medical, insurance (unless company negligence is cause), even overtime loading can be cut. (Becoming common for say supermarkets not to pay extra for public holidays or after midnight because they say their operation is 24/7 so workers are always on "normal" operating hours).
As to gender based pay scaling, doesn't matter where you are (even in countries without regulations):
if officially asked: "no," [ducking pigs hovering overhead] in real life "almost always - one way or another."
Off topic but related: Also can remember seeing ads for an Asian airlines Cabin Crew: stating applicants must be female, slim, single, age and height ranges were also given.
Not that I particularly want to see rotund older men in a cheongsams, but really I don't mind the older or/and m/f crew on other airlines - they are often way less stuck up than the 'pretty young things' on the Asian lines.
