Rules were broken when (s)he was shipwrecked with titanium duck poles (10)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

titanium duck poles - I now have an image stuck in my head, call it a head-worm, of 100 ducks sitting on top of 100 shiny metal poles.
What can I do to get rid of them?

Worry about getting an alternate display name.

"Violations"? 
At least the "tions" part must be correct. 
I ain't got no signature.

Correct, why the first bit?

I am not sure, but Google yields this[^] where it says - "Viola (who is disguised as a boy) falls in love with Duke Orsino." So maybe that's the reference in the clue?

Yes, from Twelfth Night, Viola was shipwrecked and took the identity of a boy.
It's the only Shakespeare I read at school, although I prefer the film version She's The Man.

My favourite Shakespeare is his political plays like "Love, Labour's Lost!"

I just heard on the wireless that the great Mr King has passed away.
An amazing talent.

The greatest guitarist, the meanest bluesman and pretty damned active in the daddying department.

Vale the King - saw him once in New Zealand twenty five years ago. Blues legend!

I regret never seeing him live, he is one of the people who influenced my guitar playing.

The thrill is gone.
I saw him playing a few years ago with Peter Green as the support act. BB said more with one note than most musicians say in a lifetime. I will miss him and I thank him for his influence. No modern blue guitarist can say he plays the blues with out that semi-tone bend going into the major pentatonic. Trust me - this does make sense.

Radio 4 managed to turn it into an excuse for playing a track he recorded with U2. Seriously, decades of output and they chose that, he totally outclassed Bono.

I was a fan...

BB was one of a smaller group of guitarists who could make a guitar sing. It wasn't the number of notes he could play in a moment but the emotion of a few notes played with subtle bends and vibrato that evoked the feeling he was trying to portray.
Job well done BB, rest in peace.
[Edit] BB played to the end, the way I want to go.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Sad news for the world in general and specifically the music world. The soul this man could put into a note, each dripping with raw emotion was a thing of beauty. He was one of those people that could remind us that out of this horrible world full of suffering that something wonderful could emerge, and sometimes that was the only way to create it.
I understand that there are skilled musicians of the next generation out there but they seem to get swallowed up and ignored. B B King will be missed and I'll raise a glass to him this evening. ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) Skål!

I have wanted to see BB King in person for a very long time. Unfortunately, I never got to enjoy one of his performances. 
The Kink is dead, unfortunately there is no one to replace him.

...and I don't mean formally introduced and handed a business card.
We're having a debate in the office about a technology. Let's call it Technology X. Technology X solves a bunch of issues with its main competitors: Technology Y and Technology Z. However, it's about as exciting as laundry detergent.
So given that it's hard work learning new technologies, and given there's roughly 5,639 new versions of any given technology coming out daily, and given that we're all way too busy trying to actually get work done, how do you introduce a new way of doing the same thing to a developer? Especially when it can truly save that developer a lot of time (and money)
Do you:
- Write an article about technology X and hope someone reads it?
- Have a webinar and hope someone has 30-60 mins to have you on their second monitor while they have lunch?
- Write an article about Technology Y and Z, and then introduce Technology X and show how it solves the issues with Y and Z
- Make a post in an online forum. (and risk the wrath of the Spam button - this one is obviously a tricky one)
- Scout the question and answer forums and when you see a question best answered with "Use Technology X", jump in
- Make some posts on your Facebook page, your Google+ page, or Tweet about it
- Post a blog and just hope others searching the same issues you've found that Technology X solves find it
- Sky writing
- Something else
Getting our attention is hard. I tend to follow a new technology lead if I can almost immediately "get" why it's useful to me, but I also have about a nano-second I'm willing to commit to something unknown that sounds like something else already around.
So what works best for you? How do you prefer to hear about new stuff?
cheers

and THIS is your problem.
Yes, yours - coz information/technology overload is and issue in the IT education/info field.

p.s - personally? --- I'm in a smoky bar (or was before the greenie leftie pinko commie subversives had smoking banned in bars) knocking back a government approved beer (coz the pinkos lefties commie subversives haven't had *that* banned yet) One of my mates nudges me and points out the babe in the corner who has been checking me out - I'd missed it coz I'm a pretty oblivious kinda guy - wrapped up in my own compiler as some might say.
So some stage later I sashay over to the bar (because its "my round" - remember that phrase Chris - its an important one) and and bump into her. Say Hi and its right about then then I find out she's all annoyingly bright and perky and bubbly and wont STFU - dumb as a doorknob - awww crap she's an Apple product.
