It is my experience that as far as developers are concerned, the effect is cause by crappy project managers and/or customers who argue internally and can't make up their mind how they want it...

Not always: I worked with one "developer" years ago who got asked to fix bug A.
The fix caused bug B, so that had to be fixed.
The fix for bug B caused bug A, so the same fix was done again.
And again.
And again.

A photon wouldn't experience Zeno's paradox since it doesn't experience time. Only an external observer would - and this is the same with software projects. Developers exist in a state without any concept of time but only external observers (managers, spouses, security guards wanting to lock the building) do.

It always amazes me how so many people can spend so much time fantasizing (they can call it "rationalising", "investigating", or "calculating" as much as they like, but it's still "fantasizing) about simple arithmetic situations that cannot happen in reality.
It's kinda the antithesis of science: in particular, Maths.

Former Formula 1 and motorcycling world champion John Surtees has died at the age of 83.
I met him on several occasions when I was involved in classic bike racing. A true great of motorsport.

Sad news. This dual achievement will probably never be repeated because of the changed nature of the sports. His passing remains totally unreported in Oz which is actually surprising.

I did a few parades, but mostly spannered. We ran a 1968/9 Ducati 250cc.

A friend of mine from Horsell raced a Vic Camp 250 Ducati in the seventies , I did a practice day at Brands on it and have the dubious honour of being lapped by a man called Barry Sheene riding an RG500 - happy days

I knew nobody around here riding Ducatis. The guy I used to go with was from Addlestone though.

BAE - did my apprenticeship there it was called Vickers then though - there's a fair chance our paths might have crossed - I got into computing via BAE ( massive inventory COBOL system ) punch cards ruled the waves.

How else is MS going to scan what you wrote, to make sure you aren't writing something subversive?

Each passing version of Office makes it harder & harder to do simple things. You're probably right, but that option shouldn't be the default, IMHO.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

Try this: click on the little "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" thingie in the upper left, select more commands and move "Save As" to the list. Now, there should be a save as disk in that toolbar. Here, that offers to save as in my documents folder.
Maybe I am lucky, Office 2016 here.

- File ⇒ Options ⇒ Save
- Untick "Show additional places for saving", and tick "Save to Computer by default".
- Profit!

Don't ruin a good rant with facts. 
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.

A bit late this reply, but google around for options to disable one drive in ms orifice,
there's simple reg hacks that completely remove the clown options so they can't even be used by mistake (also removed from explorer too if I'm not wrong).
BTW: On 7 can completely "uninstall" onedrive using the control panel - a lot of simpletons claim.
Even after that need to go safe mode to properly remove remnants, and there's at least 2 or 3 copies of the onedrive installer it leaves laying about too (to accidentally click I guess).
In all fairness ms do make some good software...
it's the default options (often reset during updates) and extra installed fukkage that makes it suck - even the "choose to install only what you want" vs2017 still has that.
Sin tack

My little girl is now big enough to have her own PC. Can you recommend some simple solution to restrict her access only to some particular sites, or even better - web categories? Can I achieve this just with the Win 10 firewall?
And no, I don't need a monstrosities like Websense or group policies like Forefront.
Thank you in advance!
