I was originally sent this as an image[^] that looks like it was a picture of a poster. Unfortunately I can't find anything other than that image itself, which is a pity because I'd love to have it framed in my cube.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's because FORTRAN is the only completely perfect language.

FORTRAN: What if not wearing a blue tie was a syntax error.
Happy now?

Hi All,
My main machine got upraided to Win 10 from Win 8 (which was a blessing!), I needed to scan my Passport (Don't ask). Plugged in the USB connection got the ding of connection went to my favoured scanning program, didn't work, tried the next, and so on until I got to M$ photo editor which Winged about TWAIN not being upto date, I found Microsoft Office Document Scanning while this is not a user friendly application it worked meaning that it is compatible with Win 10.
A brief google TWAIN appears to have binned by M$, so whats easy to use and free, I will have a look at Gimp to see if I can scan with it...

Got it, Downloaded it, Installed it, Go to file Aquire -> Camera and Scanner is greyed out! 
Looks like I ought to have more of a play!

I have to enjoy your Win10 delights vicariously.
I'd rather float the box in salt water than upgrade past Win7.

Probably not, but I suspect it gets you on some watch list...

The HP "All-In-One" I have has a scan to computer option when the drivers are installed, I have Windows 10 too and it works great.
Select scan to PC on the device's UI and it magically appears on the PC monitor.
It depends on which scanner you have though.

Ah, the bitterness following the smugness... Tell me, how did it taste when Engerland beat you by 39-28? Was that pill, just a touch bitter?

Wasn't any smugness, as my post said, I hoped Engerland got smashed off the park.

That didn't happen as we couldn't stop the stupids for long enough.
Started well with a couple of quick tries as we kept the pace above Engerland. Then we decided some stupid penalties were required so you kicker could keep you in touch. Then we thought, we're inside our 22 no one with the fullback, let's pass to that 9 foot tall bloke to my left instead of kicking, oh sit, he's only 6 foot tall, OK Engerland have a soft try.
Then we let your No. 3 turn and collapse the scrum over and over again, we didn't stop it from happening or smash the sh*t out of him as should have been done. We just continued to play slow, boring Engerland Rugby, we just can't play it.
So all in all, our own fault due to sh*tty play more so than any goodness from the Pommy team. Can't whine at Engerland when we played shite.
