Seems to work well, @Michael-Martin, for you, at least. I have no idea what the trick is to get the encoding to work.
Thanks for the link to the Disk Ferret - I'll look into it!

For the next time you're planning on trying to land on one. Just how big is 67P[^]?

Comparison against objects that only exist in sci-fantasy isn't helpful.
Death star? Federation Station? Manhattan?

I heard Manhattan was a real place, before it sunk under the seas due to global warming! 
|
|
|
|

Nah, that was Atlantis.
Manhattan sank to Hell due to pressure of financial manipulations.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I didn't believe you until I visited London.
I could see Manhattan from my hotel room.

67p? It's about a dollar US.

When I read this "Today, the European Space Agency successfully landed a probe on a comet moving at 80,000 miles per hour. That’s an extraordinary achievement" I realised that it was not going to be a paticularly scientifically stimulating article.
80,000 miles per hour relative to what? I guess they mean relative to the orbital vector of Earth when the spacecraft was launched.

Possibly, but it might be relative to the Sun. I can't find a reference that defines it.

Good point!
That thought came to me while I was out on my lunchtime walk.
Without knowing the reference point, it makes it difficult to determine what 88,000 mph means.

Exactly. We're moving a lot faster than that ourselves.

88,000 miles per hour is the speed 1000 DeLorean's need to travel at before they can all go "Back in time".
Were 1000 DeLorean's even built?

Just got the good news[^] via User Voice.
Guess I need to find some other horrible problem to request they fix now.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A day late and a dollar short.
If I'd've know about that a few days ago, I could've either wrapped up what I was doing in the office and got home in time to do it from here, or just stayed late in the office to watch it before I left.
Instead you posted a mention of it when it was half overonly a minute or so from ending, that I didn't see before logging off at work, and now that I'm home it's already well over.

Yikes, didn't mean to step on your lawn there mate. I mean I did let you know pretty quickly just 13 minutes after I saw your post about VS, how was I to know you were logging off? Thought you might be interested in interview article itself, even if the Q&A portion was wrapping up 
I guess you missed the announcements in the newsletter[^], in the Lounge[^], and various[^] places[^] on social media[^]

A software tester walks into a bar: Orders 0 beers, orders 256 beers, orders -1 beers, orders a lizard, orders a shot of scotch.
The bar tender fills a pint from the tap and says: "Works for me."

Nope. it doesn't count if I heard it yesterday, intended to post it before disappearing into a lab 8 hours ago but forgot to finish doing so before leaving my desk.
Edit: Especially since I heard a different version somewhere that wasn't redit.
