Reminds me of the story of these 2 IT guys:
1st: Last night, I met a girl. We had a fun evening dancing and drinking.
2nd: Nice! Then, what did you do?
1st: I asked her whether she would like to come to my flat, and she agreed.
2nd: Nice! And then?
1st: I showed her my bedroom, and suddenly we started to kiss; she sat on the keyboard on my desk and started taking his shirt off...
2nd: You have a computer at home? Which CPU? How much RAM?

It's no wonder, every time she's says "let's goto the bedroom", he winces.

I gave up on 1.0 and am now working on 2.0, seems to be much improved.
Just wish it came with instructions and a remote.
And that my friends is how the fight started!

Don't they turn themselves off after a while? Go into sleep mode? Something?

If your girlfriend goes into hibernation mode, she might actually be a bear. I suggest you look for obvious signs.
Like, does she p**p in the woods...?

The problem is that once you turn them off, good luck turning them back on. So, turn them on, but leave them that way.
However, in reality, no girlfriend has that sort of uptime.
There's some sort of Patch Tuesday joke in there somewhere, with a forced reboot once a month, but I'm not going there.

Brace yourself for() this->but you must colon all your charm - maybe nibble her ear a bit - and don't let her she's part of a string of women you later a-void.

Not for me. My girlfriend broke up with me because she said I treated her like an object.
|
|
|
|
|
What did she want? To be treated as a subject ... of what? A predicate? A full stop? A hyphen?
Can any girl tell you how they like to be treated, in a sentence that does not contain the word "not"? (or any synonym of it)

We've all seen these types of stock images used in technology-related articles...since they're often talking about abstract things that don't have a physical representation, authors/editors think they're being clever by using a close-up picture of a QWERTY keyboard with a specific word spelled out, maybe with keys of a different color.
I've always thought this is lame (I know, first-world problem). Not only would such a keyboard mess with the head of anyone who uses proper touch-typing...they now have letters that get repeated. Right in the sample I've linked to--there's only maybe 15 keys visible in the frame, but there's now two "O"s and two "M"s on that keyboard.
But that's just me, making the observation that the work former art students produce, if there was a real-world equivalent, is non-practical, if not downright non-sense... I've never been one to have an eye to appreciate "art" for what it is, and instead look at these sorts of things purely from a practical perspective. Some, I'm sure, would argue this says a lot more about me than those who come up with these...creations. Not that it matters to me.
Did I have a point? Maybe just one: Enough with that meme already...

This is quite common when a staff of music is included in an image. It's total nonsense, with no knowledge of proper notation whatsoever.

Well the value is back above 10 KUSD. I am not saying it is the best thing since sliced bread.
But I would be very careful to voice any predictions loudly. This is just an unpredictable beast.

My dividends? The asset pays no dividends, and even if it did, I do not have any of it.

I've been working on a GLR parser. GLR parsing is neat in that it can even process natural languages - human language
But the algorithm it is based on is near incomprehensible. You can implement it, but that doesn't mean you'll understand it. There's certain things about it that you just "know" you have to do even if the theory isn't clear - about half the algo is like that.
Well, I've had to teach myself GLR by reverse engineering someone else's open source GLR parser, and in the process I think I'm actually beginning to understand it.
I'm rocking today. Woo

Hi All,
We need to do a FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) on some devices we can't get back to base to test. We followed IT policy to get two high spec desktops to run the test and some solid state drives, the policy has changed no desktops, the hard drives were taken out, company policy then demands all hard drives that are encrypted. So come next round of tests the PC's that were to kept are gone, the hard drives can't be encrypted. I am at a loss, talk to help desk 'use your departments lap tops, you got three of them' which are all booked out for other projects. I can have an old Win 8 laptop (which can run the software slowly!) for two days, I will be on site for Monday to Saturday.  If only they had listened!

Why would they listen to a mere engineer? What do you know about making sensible policies?
|
|
|
|
|
If customers are attending the FAT, you can pointedly try not to embarrass the idiots who made the policy.

So my LG Flip Phone has just about had it. Battery, even a new one, drains within a day or two (even if not used) and the signal strength oscillates. Voices are broken up most of the time. It's 3G and probably spends it energy looking for unavailable towers.
New flip phone: hard to find and those I did are very costly
So I get this BLU G5 Plus - about $US 100 . After moving the SIM and charging I turn it on. First thing after selecting a language is their privacy terms. Basically I have no privacy at all. If I don't agree then I can't use the phone. No Opt Out possible.
Now, the online search I should have done first: they basically suck. The ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) 's have an un-removable and non-disableable application that sends everything you do and everywhere you go to a location in Shanghai. It also installs un-asked-for applications. It turns out the FCC smacked them on the wrist last year - as though they cared.
Well - fortunately I didn't install either of the screen protectors or throw away anything from the box. All repacked (w/out my SIM) and back it goes. Thanks a lot, uncle Xi.
The details aren't necessary, but two of the pins in the LG SIM slot are missing - it can't see the card.
The problem is . . . now what?
