I remembered how to get to the Vogon ship, and am currently in Dark... Can't remember what to do next, but I do remember that getting real Tea instead of Advanced Tea Substitute was a PITA...
I think they did "sequel" where you had to get the bank to acknowledge a change of address card? Even harder...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Clue: What do you do when you normally need to see in a dark room? Do the same in the adventure.
I never did finish it. I did successfully deal with the bugblatter beast however, after numerous tries.

I know. It's a bit crazy, but I believe the site was created a few years ago.

Attempts to kill Flash go back pretty far. I guess these guys hadn't got the memo even back then.
Anyone creating new Flash content to this day ought to change careers.

I agree.
I've done quite a bit with HTML5 / Canvas and it is fantastic and amazing what you can do natively in the browser now. Flash itself was a terrible hack and they even created another flavor of javascript (actionscript). Quite terrible.
It's odd though how that HTML5 / Canvas talk has fallen off. I don't really understand it exactly.
Well, I guess it is because some find it difficult to get paid for their apps since there isn't a great model for that in comparison to native apps.

I have just been reading an article about a network connectivity issue following the latest Windows 10 upgrade.
Microsoft's advice...
Try restarting the PC and if that doesn't work visit their website.
Der.....

Playing devil's advocate here, they probably are referring to the fact that most people have more than one device that can access the internet.
However, back when the internet was still new and before smart phones you would sometimes see that error and definitely shake your head.
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.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

My boss was catched by that last friday here at work. Came to me claiming about "no internet, no connection to the local network".
Took me less than 5 minutes to get it working again (checking the port light at the switch, opening a console to type "ipconfig", recognising that there was wrong a IP, trying "ipconfig /renew", problem solved).
At the weekend I read the first articles about the problem. They suggested various solutions including mine. But Microsoft still suggested to restart on their web site ...
Awkward issue:
The systems did not always connected to the DHCP server at startup. I checked the server logs here and there was no request from the affected system. So restarting might help or even not.

By "their" did they mean apple's or ubuntu's web-site?

I was sent a job spec that seemed right up my street. It's an old vb6 application that does what it should and they don't really want to replace it yet. What they do want is a link out to a reporting engine.
Generate data sets I think, maybe XML or even populate an external db. Sadly no, the Eejit running the project wants to use a certain product that I will not speak of - lets call it Chrystal Meths. I have politely said I would gladly build the interface to any third party tool they choose, but I will not go near that product.
But surely after you've built the interface it'll be easy to create the reports? "Fnufff!" was my muffled reply.
