There may be a job going round these parts that would be perfect for you;

Reading the full job description it becomes less specific.

That's funny! I very seldom drink but bought a bottle of wine a week ago and yesterday when I got the urge found I didn't have a cork screw. I just moved a few moths ago and evidently it's in storage...but where?
|
|
|
|
|
You can still get corked wine there? Most of it is going to those horrid screw-tops here...
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah I heard a lot of the wines are going to start having screw tops instead of fiber, just won't be the same!
|
|
|
|
|
It's coming, and there's sweet fa you can do about it... Even the good ones are switching to it, as they have no chance of cork taint/spoilage with the screw caps...

That's curious because wine can be stored for a very long time and I've never heard of spoilage being an issue? I think we ought to form a save the cork movement!

This probably means nothing to you, but I cannot read that word without hearing it in the voice of Alan Partridge.

The sad thing is that I'm the most likely shooter in the office.
She sits right next to me.
Not that I've told her that...
I googled Alan Partridge.

Yep.
I never read emails with the words 'white paper' in the title.
Straight ... to ... the ... trash ... and ... blocked.

I'll second that one! Why would I read white paper anyway?
|
|
|
|

I agree, all whitepapers can be summed up by saying "here's a problem I've just plucked out of thin air, and here is the solution to that problem which happens to involve you buying my product!
|
|
|
|

Exactly! I hadn't thought that far but now that you mention it, that's right! Heh... I just throw them in the "white colored" file 86, don't even look at them!

Hmmm... I'm not selling things when I write them, but I wonder if the devs at a certain company feel that way when they implement a feature in an engineering analysis tool that essentially breaks physics and I write a white paper on how the physics actually works along with sample code so that their results actually match with other prominent and validated tools.

I want to shank the person who thought that one up. Then I want to doubly shank the person who approved it.
Just yesterday I was setting up my new laptop and grabbing tools to mount ISOs. I wanted the basic version (aka free) so went to the site, and just to the right, up on top, right under the name of the software... "Start Download - Free Version". Sure enough, advertisement. Back, scroll down, and I see the real link, in a green button about a quarter of the size of the ad. "Download".
This is not the first time this has happened to me.

Its gotten to the point that I always look for the smallest download link on the page. Even then, I carefully study it to make sure its what I really want to download and not some ad.
Its not free software if its bundled with a lot of crapware, and the crapware pushers want us to pay.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.
