Re: Human Nature

two brain-farts

did he? it sounded to me like he made one cockup , was told his error before the problem went all the way , why it was an issue , and to correct it ,

...and then he went and did the same thing again but went all the way , and some.

Re: Building software is hard...

legalised bribery. got it.

Its amazing the upper echelons the level the average job tenure seems to be a year or two.

Presumably this is to prevent anyone getting good at their job , or being able to implement positive change , and also to limit blame for anything.

The most shocking part of this is Fujitsu knowing from day one these errors were happening and trying to correct them manually in the middle of the night.

.... unless that part was made up for the TV show as some kind of metaphor for "coding bug" for the masses

I was screaming at the tv for all 4 episodes - why does nobody want to replicate the fault?

and then maybe fix it ?

there wasnt any money!

if you sell two things for £5 and the computer adds that up and says you have to bank £15 . It doesent means an extra five pounds had been created

Re: No Justice

ive just started watching the itv drama and the answer has become clear - day one

Re: No Justice

handed it back before someone took it back

Re: No Justice

I followed the court case that found Horizon faulty and have been reading the transcripts

great , quick question .

When did the post office first become aware that perhaps the software was the problem?

Re: Not one person has been interested in any of the reports.

I think he is illustrating the complete inactivity of the police even when results are handed to them on a plate , and lamenting the fact that if he ever needs them nothing will happen.

also having a dodgy mf like that across the road is a security risk in itself.

hey thanks!

"relearn where everything was"

I've just given up with the start menu , luckily they have this search feature on it now so you just type what youwant - then pin it .

and use Win+R for stuff

Re: Hospitals

The number of times I've been asked to help out with basic shit as an IT guy with an exec that is as thick as pigshit is unbelievable. It's even worse when you point it out to them and they quip back..."Well it's what we pay you for!"...no it isn't...I'm there to stop things catching fire, blowing up and to manage your tech to ensure you always keep up with the market and that you're never behind the competition, I'm there to make sure your data is backed up and that you have a recovery plan. It's up to you do your fucking mail merges and print out labels, you dickhead...that's your fucking job.

The anger is strong in this one.

Use the force . It surrounds us , binds us . Feel the differing roles and skills of your fellow Jedi and your place in furthering general good.

Re: Hospitals

Why would a ransomware gang give you the ability to decrypt your data

Surely the whole cause and effect nature of this article might have given you a clue?

True there is no way of making them , but why the hell wouldnt they if they want to encourage victims to pay up?

Re: Windows?

I wrote a program once to slap those windows into behaving themselves position wise. This was because our "control room" had a pc with a lot of monitors and various dashboards and such carefully laid out , that would start doing their own thing at any excuse.

Turns out theres handles or hooks or whatever they're called within windows , maybe it was in the wmi system, but it was fairly easy to follow some youtube/stackexchange examples and make a C# console app the read a config file with the names of which windows were supposed to go where , and make then do it.

.. or fire them up if they werent present , or resize them .

I had picture viewer moving around bouncing pictures off the borders of the screen at one point .

excellent potential for mischievous hijinks .

Re: Start menu a step back in time, almost to DOS days

Because that will always be faster !

You can do it either way so what are you complaining about ?

I use the search , method , then pin the result to the start menu , I havent even looked at the rest of it since early w10 when i wrote off the idea of navigating it.

That and the WIN+R run run box often removes the need to even click start.

maybe you could use the arow keys instead

Re: Driver and insurance should pay

Enlighten me, how does one imprison a corporation?

Are you suggesting that its not possible to hold a corporation liable for anything?

and therefore that liability is solely on the consumer?

Re: If Corporations Are People

board, CEO, programmer, minimum wage bog scrubber...) is irrelevant.

So which of them carries the can?
