I have been pining for Hercules graphics lately (for some unknown reason). I even switched my PowerShell colors over to amber on black to make me feel nostalgic.

Perhaps more possible, although the bean counters will never agree: have companies release their source code to all drivers, etc, when they stop support for a device. Let it enter the open source realm and have others update it if it is really worthwhile.

New data shows a direct correlation between resignations, departing employees, and data exposure events. So they're not just taking pens from the supply cupboard?

Interesting point of view. I'm of the thinking that if the employer spend more time appreciating their employees, treat them as human-beings and not cogs in a machine, and build a trust relationship with them, maybe... just maybe that there wouldn't be so many employees leaving the company.

Although I totally agree with you, I think it is not an excuse to do that.
1) It is not really ethical
2) You might have legal problems
3) You are risking your professional future
4) Depending on what, you might be harming not implicated users
5) ...
Still... some companies / moron managers deserve that or even more.

I don't believe DonathanH meant the stealing of data (which is definitely unethical and usually illegal, or at least violates your employment contract), but the mass resignations.
I believe that proper treatment of your subordinates usually pays off in the end. Even if they do decide to leave, they are more likely to do an organised transfer of their responsibilities before their last day.

Yeah... many companies seem to ignore the credo:
If you think a good professional is expensive, wait until you hire a cheap one.

Kinda hard to steal pens when you're never in the office anymore.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There’s another built-in program for converting numbers to error messages, and it handles a lot more error numbers and formats than NET HELPMSG does. When life gives you -0x7ff8fffe, make lemonade

Oh... nice...
Then instead of having just a number, you will probably have a list of possible errors or a text that actually says nothing usefull.

In our testing, it's still pretty bad at guessing the approximate age of the PC that it's running on, but it at least presents more detailed information when it's telling you that you won't be able to upgrade to a new OS. "You can't always get what you want"

The laser-boiled chicken samples remained moist and tasty, according to the researchers. How do you tell people you got a new (big) research grant without telling them you got a new research grant?

They already do. Have you taken a good look at the cr@p most of those places call a "hamburger" or "chicken nuggets"?
