but its wrong so wrong to offer violence to a cow-worker even if they bunk off causing you extra work and then fail to ensure your food after a 12 1/2 hour shift (despite being part of his job)
and if you do crack and punch the idiot you should be castigated in the press and be fired form your job regardless of
nope I wont, I will be accused of loving you and wanting your babies

I would never punch a cow worker.
And the people that clearly need the sh|t kicked out of them aren't necessarily cow workers.

The wife left yesterday for a 4 day trip, and the other boss (business partner) is leaving on a weekend trip today. Of course that just doubles the number of phone calls I will need to answer...already over half-a-dozen between those two this morning!

My client skyped me to say he couldn't get my app installed. I remoted in and found SSMS 2014 had generated a totally elephanted script, where it calls use mydatabase a few pages before it calls create mydatabase. 2012 never gave me this kind of crap, but the good side is, I fixed it in seconds.
Then, my windows service wouldn't install, but there I only had to run as admin, and all was sweet. And to top it all off, my client app refused to control that service. but run as admin fixed that.
The good news is I didn't need any recompile to make tweaks to get it running properly on site. Yes, I know, maybe running as admin is a 'dirty' fix, but such issues are way outside of scope at this point.

Bought a desktop on ebay; core i5 gen 2, 4g ram, 500 g hdd. Nothing special apart from the cpu. £150!
When it arrives, image my current ubuntu media centre to a portable using clonezilla; then flash the new box, expand the partition to 500, splice in the sound and maybe video cards(lots of lovely slots, it's a commercial hp).
Then enjoy my media centre.
But today's good news is buying the box.

|
Good deal, I'd say! Enjoy your new media centre - cheers!

I bought a Pebble Watch to play around with last week. Since then I have already made my own watchface that is really useful for me and with a little more effort I could have a more generic version that I could release to the Pebble store

My most important and productive ($) project has finished recently: a LOB system for a customer.
But my customer is asking me for more changes and things to add to this system, this means more money to survive while finding more jobs to do.

That's a nice customer! Let's hope his business processes will keep expanding

"We heard the captain ask the co-pilot to take control, then we hear the noise of a seat that goes back and a door open, we can assume he went to relieve himself.
The co-pilot was alone. It is at this moment that the co-pilot manipulates the buttons of flight monitoring system to action the descent of the plane.
The action of this altitude can only be deliberate. We hear the captain then speaks via an interphone to speak to the co-pilot, no response of co-pilot, he taps on door, no response from the co-pilot, all we can hear is the sound of breathing, until impact suggesting the co-pilot was alive until impact.
Air traffic control tried to get through via 7700 but couldn't get through. Air traffic control even tried to contact other planes to try and contact the plane, but no response.
Alarms sounded to signal to crew the proximity of the ground, then we hear banging of someone trying to break down the door
The pull up alarms to pull the plane up went off.
Just before the final impact one can heard what appears to be the first impact of the plane on a mountain top.
There was no message of distress type or mayday recevied by air traffic control, and no response to all the air traffic controllers.
The interpretation is 48 hours after the crash, I take precautions, but for us investigating...the most plausible and realistic is that the co-pilot by a deliberate decision refused to open the cabin door to the captain and actioned the button ordering the loss of altitude.

What right had he to take along with him 149 innocent others?
Perhaps they should have some kind of (psychometric?) tests for pilots to assess their mental state before each flight. As a passenger, I'll have no awareness of the pilot's state of mind when I board the aircraft.

Great, that would add another two hours waiting about before each flight. Pilots do have regular medical tests for both physical and mental health, but doing it before each flight would be totally impractical.

That was just one (impractical) solution 
There may be other ways, wouldn't they?
|

They'll probably make it mandatory to have 2 people in the cockpit at all times. At the moment it's not, though some airlines do practice this.
|
|
|
|

I was just reading that some airlines keep crowbars or axes outside the cockpit to get in during an emergency. Kind of seems to negate the locking doors to keep terrorists out in that case.
I think - unfortunately - that flight is always going to be a (low) risk activity. If you don't accept the risks then don't fly (I'm guessing that most people don't really consider the risks).

Get three burly guys and charge the door. Its got to give, surely.
|
|
|
|

But then how do you keep three burly terrorists out? I think a solution for one scenario precludes the other.
