High-tech, laugh a minute. They are as decent a bunch of sunshines as you could ever hope to know.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

I wanted to remove all traces of the Syncfusion suite from my app after a trial that never happened before the trial period expired, and I am happy with other tools for now anyway. So, I did a solution wide search for 'Syncfusion', and found this 'copyright' notice at the top of the App_Start\AuthConfig.cs class, the App_Start\BundleConfig.cs class, and nearly every template class. It may have been generated by a Syncfusion Project template, but it certainly is not their code.

Train driving is equal opportunity.
It is an occupational hazard. In Perth there is about one death by train every 2 weeks. A train driver expects to be involved in an 'incident' at some stage in their career. They receive counselling and go back to work if they can. I have seen a train before they pressure clean off the mess and it is quite sickening.

In New York, the driver gets 12 months off on full pay if someone jumps under their train... It must be pretty common to have HR rules in place for it!!

Not PC just fairness. A very large proportion of the driver cohort are women.

I don't doubt that factoid... however it's not that important in the grand scheme of things that I didn't use he/she... Do you also call manholes "maintenance person access covers"? How about chairman? Actress?
It just seems to me that society in general is more interested in seeming than doing... Getting carried away with stuff that really makes not a jot of difference in the world... Political correctness is a bit of a bugbear of mine...

I share your abhorrence of PC but that sentiment can be taken to the opposite extreme and can be used to justify narrow mindedness.

Also a fair point. See how nicely we can discuss things? It'll never catch on in the Soapbox!!

Near Death Trains?
Non Disclosed Trains?
Anyone who's been to Wellington, NZ, knows the trolley buses are whispering death. Nine tons of, from memory...

Funny coincident with rail travel. When I went down into the station this morning, an alarm was sounding and a recording telling everyone to evacuate the station. I went straight back up the escalator, and the security guard there (they are everywhere) told me it was OK to go down, it was a false alarm. I went back down just seconds before a train arrived, which I boarded for work.

Very good! One wonders if they might find themselves on the receiving end of a defamation case brought by Apple lawyers.

Since the CIA invented Facebook[^] I believe this.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Add Facebook's newly purchased Face.com facial recognition software to the mix and things get even "funnier". In my opinion - facebook is NOT too big to fail.
