Things going from bad to worse for IBM?

Pctools (V4.xx and earlier) was quite snappy. Later versions (v5 and up) tended to be bloated and slow.

Edited microsoft's DOS mouse.com (the first PS/2 mice with add-in PS/2 cards) driver to display "machosoft moose" instead of "microsoft mouse" :)

Remind me never to do any deals with Oracle then.

One reason why I don't like cloudy services. Your entire company's at the mercy of said cloudy services. And there's also other factors to consider - internet access etc etc etc.

Also keep in mind that the techs at the cloud centre/host are all "shared" amongst more than one company. Meaning if one company experience major b0rkage, then all hands may attend to said b0rkage, leaving you to wait for somebody to attend to your small problem.

RIMjob?

Not surprised by this.

Explains a lot. Makes one now wonder about a lot of things. The Walrus have got a lot of talking to do.

Any new towers appeared in South Africa recently?

Oh wait, these'll be spaffed as quick as lightning by the locals if not properly secured, so I think we're at least safe here. :p

If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

Would really like to hear what caused the hiccup.

Probably a cleaner unplugging a critical server somewhere...

So now we wait for 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3, 4.4.4.4 and all the way up to quad9...

Fun?

Now what if your current employer decide to send you over & they take a shufty at your facebook page, and up pops a message from a friend from 6 years ago full of things that go boomz, goatse and tubgirl stuff, and based on that they decline your visa?

Whose fault would that be?

I have a twatter and faceboob account, but both are used so seldom nowadays.

We used to have fair iburst coverage at our domicilium. Was good enough for youtubing etc. With unused data rolling over to the next month.

Until the company decided to ditch their old tech and vswitch over to LTE/LTE-A

Which is actually more expensive, you need new hardware, and there's no data rollover.

Facebook - burping data and getting paid for it.

More blipping and bleeping pieces o' junk floating in spaaaaaaaace above our heads.... One of these days we will not be able to get decent sunshine due to the space junk blocking the sun....

Ach, April Fewls day...

Mary had a little lamb

Downgrade Upgrade to Windows7 then?

So.

In order to avoid any nasty fallouts due to languages, it is deemed best to code directly in Assembler.

No?

And it's shareholder interest that is more important than customers interest once again.

Shareholders give no value to a company, only its customers and loyal staff do. Without loyal staff and customers a company can't give its shareholders any value.

Most businesses (especially here in SA) seems to think that shareholders are the most important...

The taller they are, the harder they fall.
