Re: Somewhere, deep in space, three hundred years hence...

Has no one seen 'mars attacks' ???

a scientist makes a machine that translates their 'neek neek' sounds to mean 'peace' - hilarity and death follows!!! :D :D

John Williams music could be translated as a threat of war.... :P :D

Most universities DO NOT have the cash - and most likely the people in charge have no clue either, with the IT dept having no right to do 'proper' things, due to policy made by managers!!

Re: Brittle software?

there has been 'modifiable code' since BEFORE chrome..

Better our switch as provision for two CELL dongles, so it falls over to the THREE network..

yes, they bought up NTHell, and all the other bad ones, took them a while to get them going properly...

They were going pretty well up to a few years ago, then liberty global bought them...

when a MAJOR cable was cut by the local building site nearby my office, at least a low speed line was still maintained (BT would have calmly said 'no internet for a month', why my boss hates BT... )

a few months after that, though, we were exposed to the utterly clueless liberty global support staff.... :O

Re: "Large 'photo-paper' will do.."

It was about a congrats card - the PAPER ones are around 6" square... so you need to buy it large enough to make a decent card...

Re: Moonpig are rubbish

a fitting tribute I think..

NOW start thinking about your fav. band, beginning with G for the next one!! :)

Re: XKCD example doesn't work for me.

well how about this system..

choose an easy to remember phrase eg bosisstupid

now add 4 letters/nums you can easily remember, that will be added to the above phrase..

eg jon5 bull nad4 , etc... that should give you enough different passwords.. :)

He is too lazy to get a decent backup program..

Re: Don't forget to sue them for time lost...

win7 source code??? If you have been following the apocryphally awful development of win10 from the start, you may have surmised that they junked it ALL (workers, code, etc, etc...), being sooo confident it was super fantastic, that they took **6 months** to realize that people hated it!!!

It seems they had to go back and recreate the good bits again from scratch... :(

Re: It's 2018 and best open source web browser?

yes, that is a VERY personal question... it depends what end of the geek/ normal scale you are on... :P :)

speed, speed, speed!!!

- Then you will be using something with almost NO functionality, just to prove you have the fastest...

Its MS, it must be good!! yea, keep believing the lies...

Its famous, industry standard, so managers say its ok to use it!

- yes, based on an **ancient** report (about FF 10 or summat???) that 'da management' have understood.. - so no moaning about 'unknown software, even though FF60 is awfully top heavy, and has a 'new' eg 'ruined', 'too new' app structure alienating all those app devs.. :/

I only keep the last good one (V52) for tesing and 'keep the boss happy'..

I use a good 'mozilla open source' version call Pale moon, that adds a good graphics engine, good functionality. and has even copied over most good old FF addons for use!

This is NOT for 'mad geeks', just for those who want a good browser like FF 20 used to be.. :)

I guess you haven't heard of the Torah, which the bible is only a small part of...

Re: Don't buy a new Intel based system for a while?

Re: Richard 12

FF already has lost many, BUT... more clueless idiots sign up...

Johnfen: there are other Moz based browsers.. :)

Pale moon is a good steady one, with a good forum, latest release is great, still running months old addons... :)
