Put a Dent in Your Logfiles - The Daily WTF[^]
Shudder
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

You think this has to be a bad joke, but you know it isn't 
I really don't get it, why would anybody in their right mind write that sort of thing.
I recently came across some sort of foreign key, except it wasn't a key and the relationship wasn't on the ID, but rather on some varchar value which was copied to the other table, except in the other table it was a smallint, and if the smallint wasn't the same value as the varchar in the other table it would all go to hell and ultimately it was used in a report where it literally said if value = 1 then "Some value" else if value = 2 then "Some other value".
HOW ABOUT WE JUST PUT A RELATIONSHIP ON THE ID AND THEN PUT THE TEXT IN THE VARCHAR COLUMN!?
These people shouldn't be allowed near programming languages and yet here they are calling themselves professionals and landing jobs!
Something's really very wrong in our industry

The Pareto principle says that 20% of the people provide 80% of the value. So to put it another way, 80% of everything is either mediocre or shite. I'm sure that people in other professions would agree.

I got a new PC in January, with Windows 10 and...
And, in all this time, I haven't seen a blue screen or OS freeze yet! 
|
|
|
|
|
Well, NOW you've done it.
|
|
|
|
|
Have you ever switched it on?
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Honestly: I cannot remember when I last seen a blue screen or total freeze. It's been some years.

I had a BSOD recently quoting a NDIS driver error. "How unusual", I thought. It turned out that my motherboard has fried itself! Won't boot at all now.
For the avoidance of doubt, I am not blaming Windows for this.

Hi All,
I was using Win 10 (the latest update?), had a power cut (cue bad language) when the power came back on left it a minute or two to get stable, repowered PC gets into the Win 10 section of boot asks me to update a password (?). Not trying to log in, not connected to the Net. Try the standard password, complains that I need to change password so increase the end number by one. Continues boot, log in with old password. Never needed it since. Could it have been a BIOS password? I don't think I set it on this PC.

Then it's not the BIOS-password; once W10 starts booting, the BIOS will not ask for passwords or anything else - as far as it's concerned, it's done as soon as the OS boots (or fails to).
I'd be formatting that PC; Windows shouldn't bother to ask if there's already one set.

Didn't think so. That was the only thing I could think of. Once I get to a stage where I can this PC is headed for a complete format, too many HP 'widgets' for my likeing...

If it is not the BIOS nor Windows, it is probably malware; more likely since it didn't ask for your old password.
I wouldn't trust it, label it as compromised and deny it access to the network. Then format it.

I occasionally use an old image processing program from 1999 mostly because I like its JPEG encoder. It has been a headache to make it run compatibly with W10. On this machine it works fine but not on my other one. For giggles, I tried it in Windows XP SP3 compatbility mode and this is how it appeared : https://i35.servimg.com/u/f35/17/98/38/10/pixwiz10.png[^]
My jaw bounced off the desk as I wondered what in the wide world of sports made that happen?
I have messed around a little on this machine and I can't make it happen but it does on the other one it does with the compatibility setting. They are both on update 1909. Does anyone know what enables this appearance?
This was actually a very welcome surprise because I detest the W10 GUI style and I was not aware this was possible. I intend to look into it some more.
