No Stoya in that mix up?
They missed a trick there.

Re: Where do you get all the software from?
Either open source, or I download developer editions of software from my MSDN account.
BTW, I do actually have a home lab, but that's for my personal use. Not my employers.
Because it's currently geared up to construct an army of robotic super soldiers.

I don't work for free.
And learning new skills to benefit the company that employs me *is* work.
So I'll be doing my training during work hours thankyouverymuch.
We need to work on ways of getting there
Preferably within my lifetime.

Re: It's over between us
If you only upvote one post today. Make sure that it's the one above the one above this one.
Most businesses only spend money on IT professionals when it matters.
And when their security gets breached, they usually find out that it mattered 12 months ago and all they can do now is call in a clean up crew.
Congratulations Greg!
You've fixed bugs for a site viewed in a browser that's 12 years old!
If people will insist on using ancient hardware and software to access the internet then I've got no bloody sympathy for them.
Are you still laying out your websites with tables?

Re: I can see the flaw in the design.
There's probably another hole around the other side where they pump more air in.
Here's an idea Microsoft.
How about actually implementing the HTML 5 spec? Other browsers seem to have no trouble with it.
I'm sick and tired of having to look up every sodding tag to find out if it's supported in IE or not.
Callcenters already mock callers.
"We apologise for the long delay."
"Your call is very important to us."
"We're going to stop the on-hold music, so that you think we're going to answer, but all we're really going to do is subject you to another automated message."
Here's an idea...
Why don't we use this space to make posts after the article, to actually discuss the issues raised in said article?

And a reason I don't want devices sitting in the 1420.40575177 MHz band.

I for one am against the government testing this BT on poor defenceless bumpkins.
Re: If the silicon acted as a catalyst
Then the little nano spheres would give off both hydrogen *and* oxygen.
I'll leave figuring out why this is a bad thing as an exercise for the reader.
