There is an expiration date on bottled water

It's when the water will have evaporated through the seal on average

And salt. My missus pointed out that the salt I was going to put into the salt cellar was expired.
I was in a carelessly foolhardy mood, so I used it anyway.

Shoot, I was eating 20 year old chocolate, eggs and ham, fruit, etc. in the form of "C" rations when I was but a youngster on my first hunting trip for moose

Sounds like urban legend to me.

The story originates from The Independent newspaper, so that's quite likely.

The problem with expiration dates is that they only indicate "best before", not "poisonous after"
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

You've been cloned from your rubbish by the garbage man?
That would explain a lot, I guess!

Does anyone else remember another Scott Adams[^]? I have fond memories of playing his text based Adventure games on my TI-994a. Ah, those were the days.

WooHoo! I learned assembly language on the TI-99/4A with the Mini-Memory Module.
The difficult we do right away...

I had just bought the extended basic cartridge when the cassette interface quit working...I could load from it but not save.  I still used it for games, but hating losing my work when someone wanted to use the TV.

Absolutely - I probably played most of his games on the old TRS-80....

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this... I have been googleing terms all day and can't find a good write up on this topic.

Based on those screen shots:
1) what is that UI style officially called? Modern?
2) I know people call it the hamburger, but does that button have an official name?
3) what is the left bar officially called?
4) on the left bar, whats the significance of the upper group of icons vs the lower group of icons?
If somebody has a good link to a good write up about the design and the significance of everything, that would be awesome!

Don't ask Microsoft. They don't know any more.
They are the ones who created Windows Controls in the past, but now controls are created by:
Ambiguous Internet Urchins (AIU)
People who hang out and create HTML5 and put CSS3 styles over it.

Don't worry about such things.
They'll all be gone by the time Windows 12 is released.

That may be what it's called, but IMHO it's a huge step backward.

Hmm... that seems like its conceptual theory more then the left bar is called a fly bar or whatever and the top buttons are for x and the bottom buttons are for y. That's really what I'm looking for.

I think that concludes another recent thread[^].
There's no longer a choice; one has to follow the market-leader, or become outdated.
