But now that you mentioned it, the word means "not being able to pay" in French, and not "cannot be solved".

The people who make lotus notes are of the type who would be torturers if they hadn't gone into programming.

What about Excel?
Must be created by accountants.
|
|

One of the things that worries me most in this world is that Excel is actually a very good tool that does its job extremely well.
Its problem is that people try use this very good tool for the wrong purposes.

Sounds exactly like accountants to me.

Yes, accountants seem to think it's their function to make money and fiddle taxes, whereas in reality they're a cost centre that is supposed to simply count all the beans, and leave the making of products (and thereby profits) to production people.

My problem with accounting is that all of their reports show zero at the end. How can you tell how much money you've made if everything always adds up to zero?

It was initially created by engineers, then obfuscated by accountants. (Anybody besides myself remember Microsoft Works? Excel started as Works XL.)

I have read that it is easier to kill something, if you have severed all emotional ties to it. So, I am not surprised that IBM killed lotus with no fanfare. Not to say that it wasn't emotional for some, I am sure it was.

Many years ago tried to hack the 1-2-3 installation security (a friend had the install media, but had used up all his permitted installs) in DOS Debug. I gave up when:
The install media was 5" floppy discs and there was a hole punched in the disc and the install program looked for a read error at that location.
I tried to bypass the code that detected the read error and found that the program was writing to a block of memory that turned out to be the an interrupt handler and the code then explicitly called the interrupt handler!
This was way before it got to the point of checking the number of installs.
Memories < sigh/>

Probably not the best place to ask, but I'd like to buy a few Vasco Rossi[^] albums for Missus. However, I have absolutely no idea which ones (3-5) would be 'the best'.
I would greately appreciate all the suggestions you may have.

Man, it's about time people in CP started talking about Real rockers, rather than the nancy boys they go on about.

I haven't heard Vasco's music yet(will when I get home), so I wonder who is a Real rocker in your opinion ?

Someone whose lipstick and hairspray bill comes to less than EUR 100 per concert.
There are a few Rossi bits on youtube.
