Cubes are no fun. I had a guy opposite that would come in every morning and open his overhead bin in a very aggressive move shaking the walls. I could hear every word of his phone conversations (and really, really didn't want to). Listening to personal conversations grows old real quick.
I think Dilbert had it right...

Now, here's the best description I've read so far: Why Finland loves saunas[^].
Even though a quick conclusion would likely be that Finnish people are hot-blooded it may be a too quick assumption

If you come to Mumbai, it's natural sauna all day every day, everywhere. There's no need for a separate room here. 
On the downside it could get far more freakin hot and humid than in a sauna, and you will have to keep your clothes on.

Didn't watch it, but I'm betting it's old, been seen before and is the girl quitting using pictures of her holding signs and it was basically an advert paid for by some company using her if the guise of a worker pissed off at her male boss.

Nope, I didn't see any sign of a company name at all - just her dancing and text explaining her decision.
Probably helps that she's a stand up comedian as well: http://marinavshifrin.com/[^]

Might watch it tomorrow and see, but I think it is the one I'm referring too. May have been advertising some show or DVD release of hers, but I never mentioned that there would be a company named in her quitting. Just that I thought it was all a put on that was paid for by some company and that it was useful advertising for something of theirs or similar.

Michael, this isn't it. I remember the one you're talking about and I believe her boss made one back at her. This one is short and stupid. Not worth the watch.

Thanks Bassam, saves me the waste of time watching and corrects my mistake for others coming through later.

You lose... this video is a girl dancing in an empty office. Even dumber than the one you referenced.

Plot twist: she actually didn't quit but just made the video that her boss asked for - one that gets a ton of views.
this isn't meant to be taken as fact, but it might be true anyway, and I wouldn't be surprised

ZX Spectrum 48k[^] 1983 & at home. Mostly stuff from Byte magazine and stuff garnered from the BBC's various publications at the time. I wonder how many times the Spectrum has paid for itself since I started coding for a living, probably the best financial help my Grandma ever gave come to think of it.

Of course. And you could plug headphones into the output jack used for the tape recorder to listen to glorious 1-channel mono sound.

Same thing, except I had Input[^] instead of Byte.

Nope, it was Input, not Byte. Funny how your mind plays tricks on you like this. They might even be in my parent's loft, I'll see if I can shin up there for a trip down memory lane.
And I learned more from the mistakes, and the bits I had to fill in when the paper shop failed to deliver an issue, than I did from the main articles.

My first programming was done for school on an IBM 360 in 1966. However, my first development was done on an Intel Intellec 8. This was run by an Intel 8008 (not a typo for 8080) chip back in 1973.

At uni, it was an ICL 1900[^], but for actual work it was a Prime 400[^] at the Rutherford Laboratory, Harwell - 0.5 MIPS, 2MB of RAM and 160MB of HDD - and played a mean Colossal Cave! Twenty users! VDU's!
