London Stock Exchange investigates IT 'sabotage'

Anomalous Cowturd
WTF?

So let me get this straight...

The first day after a major migration to a new network, and the first time it is put under any load, it all goes T.U. and the powers that be have announced possible sabotage.

Did it involve an RJ45 plug not meeting up with it's female friend?

Did they even test it before they all buggered off home on Sunday?

I tried saying it twice yesterday,

For some reason, I couldn't get that sentiment past moderation.

Buyer's Guide: Budget Mono Laser Printers

Thumb Up

+1 for the old laser...

My £40 off fleabay LJ5M of about 1996 vintage still fires out perfect pages whenever I ask it to. The part-used cartridge it came with lasted me over 4 years, and the 9,000 page replacement cost me £27 delivered.

The HP inkjet I bought last year for the same price as the LJ cost me is knackered, and now only performs scanning duties.

It's cheaper and better to get your digital snaps printed at one of the many online processors, or take them to Asda for 20p a pop...

TPS is ignored...

I have been called twice in the last week by Phones4U. The first time I was in bed asleep, and not fully with it. The second time, I was fully conscious, and told the caller that if they called me again I would report them to OFCOM as I have been registered with TPS for over a year.

They had my full name, and told me I had been recommended by a friend. When I asked the name of the "friend", she gave me a name I had never heard of.....
