yup, or at least a similar one - try having it with a Govt department who's job it is to oversee encryption used in Federal transactions - their documentation didnt match the API so I proved it by doing a DumpBin 'Exports' on the supplied Encryption DLL - "you did WHAT" .. it took a bit of explaining, but it was costing us time/$$ doing it manually, so I HAD do automate the task with the DLL - phew, I had visions of going to the klink ...

Wow! Just yesterday I told the boss to choose between me and a contractor... They not only accused me that my code is wrong (which they never saw), but refused to run a live test to check it (because they can't afford to send one of the developers to the site)!!!

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So you need to reduce the contractor's status?

It's in 2020 - you need to skip forward to then.

She's 84?
How old does that make you?

Cue The Pirates of Penzance.
The OP said that his niece was 21, not that she had her 21st birthday.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I read in THIS POST ...
Quote: Genymotion is a great emulator, free for personal use.
I just spent five minutes on the Genymotion.Com Site and couldn't find that free version for personal use.
- Is the statement still true ?
- Does GenyMotion still have a free version ?
- If so, where do I click ? Where can I get it ?

I don't know what you've googled, but I did "genymotion free" and this was the the first hit on the results page:

Cheers and have fun!

Same here, but they require you to create an account, so I didn't follow through.

There weren't any when I posted - just a Twitter post that said "Standby for more info...".

"Mix-tape" CSS files - featuring bits stolen from other (better thought out) styles all cludged together without any particular editorial control.

Wait until you step into the joys of generated CSS based on stolen LESS
..and without strong typing, you're basically simply editing text-files without a decent overview of whats already there and with no simple way of seeing what is used. Mix that with some JavaScript(-frameworks) and you have found a heaven.

Nice term!
It's the nature of a shared resource...collect cruft from all over and never delete any parts for fear of breaking something. As far as lack of editorial control, I can relate. Luckily, I work alone and set my own standards, which fortunately, I can live with.
