What do you mean? I have written about what was happening WITH ME & Other employees in the companies WE worked for. What part of it you found to be a "Trash" and have no basis? sounds funny
If we wanted an "exclusive" access to a site, there were applications & formal mails to send to the IT guys. Who would review and all the sites for a limited time.

Sorry I have trouble with TABS on the site when I have the Japanese codepage running. It was meant for the stupid linux myths of Codewraith.

Yes; some even afraid that somebody will copy their unmaintained VB6-code by simply looking at the UI. Ask the average programmer what to do with a brownfield, and they'll sing "rewrite from scratch".

There's regularly a question on the forum on how to hide the table-structure from the customer.
I'm often tempted to answer that no sane person would "steal" something that is reproduced within a few hours without the existing errors.

Just by the numbers Linux servers make up around 40% of the server market the bulk of the rest being Windows.
On one of the few Anti virus companies that will provide numbers is Sophos and they see around 30,000 linux servers breached everyday. The number was 41,000 Windows servers per day. The numbers are pretty close to market share so I would not objectively say either is better.
So if you want to make claims about some O/S being better than another provide numbers to backup your claim.

I couldn't work at all then since our sw requires admin rights and we need to communicate with a lot of hardware (COM ports, PCI and USB among others).
Hell, I even have to work on a "test pc" which is not under company control otherwise I would be stuck with a 64 bit system while I still have to update and maintain Win2k systems with VB6 software. And the centralized antivirus does more harm than good since it blocks a lot of executables without reason, permanetly deleting them without asking.

So I heard a rumour that someone who shall remain nameless *cough*Nagy*cough* is officially joining the old gits club today, entering his sixth decade.
Happy Birthday, oh ancient one! I suspect a bottle (or two) of Gordon's finest is in order.

I was just going to mention that fact. Hope he is alright.

Speaking of the Nagster hope he's OK, like somebody above said hasn't been here for ages, like another old hand (DalekDave) has he grown up?  ...

He's still logging in - his participant score is increasing - but he doesn't look like he's contributing at the moment.
It's possible that he exhausted the Gordons supply for the county he moved to, and is quivering in a corner waiting for more...

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.
