Elephant it, why not? So long as their use doesn't cause problems, it's just a different experience to alcohol.
Besides, we're one of very few generations to live through two palindrome years. Perhaps the third, I suppose. 99 & 101, 999 and 1001, 1991 and 2002. One may as well enjoy oneself after a healthy dose of hard work and helping others.
Yeah, I used to get out more.

You know, even in the first century AD, there where people that lived longer than 20 years. So a single person living through 55 - 66 -77 - 88 -99 - 101- 111 would not be so hard to imagine. I don't think they numbered their years like that, though, so they might not have known how special they were.

My experience seconds that statement.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

beg to differ, almost every question in the lounge is answered.
If the question is interpreted differently than expected: whose fault is that?
It's just like coding, if programs don't do what you expected is that the computer being obtuse?

I only asked for the answer; you were supposed to know the question.

Is that what they're calling Bloatus Goatse (aka lotus notes) these days? Because every lounger knows that particular pile of filth owns the buggiest code in the world title.

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?

We switched to Outlook/Exchange two years ago, yet we still have to keep Lotus Notes installed. Why? Because the I.T. department's ordering system is based around Lotus Notes, and all the people who know how it worked have been laid off.

Sounds like someone needs to pull all the server HDDs, stand them up on the safety rail at the top of a stairwell (or the edge of building if you have roof access) and play Dominos with them to force the issue.

Sounds like too much work. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the fire, once it starts.

In that case maybe you should work on filling a fire extinguisher with marshmallow fluff to support having smores when it goes up.

Ouch!
I adored the Borland dos range as a 13 year old - still got a copy of the Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.0 manual somewhere too. What a horrific fall from grace that befell them.

It's pretty bad, but I don't know about it actually being buggy.

Should try Solidworks for a day! That has got to be one of the buggiest pieces of crap software ever written. I’m sure the people that wrote it couldn’t even program a for-next loop properly.

I think the SharePoint designer stands up pretty well in comparison of buggy behavior.
