Definitely. Strategic cheating also gets mistaken for genius which is sort of my point.

Step zero of the Feynman algorithm is always missed: 0. Spent years dismantling every idea or concept and understanding it intimately. This is almost always done out of sight to maintain the illusion. When people don't see the hard wor

Everyone's in the right job. You just have to find customers who don't know how much everyone else charges :)

This doesn't surprise me. Back in about 2002 the company i worked for built a shitty intranet for a major high street charity in the UK. Cost them £100,000...

The one time I dumped a £3 donation via SMS my number was basically call bombed afterwards. After the 15th call in under 24 hours, some at unsociable hours, I took the SIM out and threw it away and signed up for another giffgaff account (I

You're right, OpenLDAP isn't the same. It's more of a toolchain and server to build yourself a directory implementation on top of. But when we look at our organisation, all we need is simple SSO for a few applications. We don

We're switching back to an MSP for a bit with Exchange 2013. Then we're looking at other solutions. So far this is looking like it's going to be something in house. "quite well" isn't an option for us. We need

I couldn't agree more. I'm sitting here on a Windows desktop at the moment and have a windows phone. See elsewhere in this thread for the fate of the phone. It's being replaced with a dumbphone. As for the desktop, I've

I feel pretty fucked off as a user. I wouldn't invest in developing for it or universal apps for desktop either. Too many scars is the problem. Plus I no longer want to be a sharecropper. I'm waiting for this handset to be paid of

Some of us have also worked, through ignorance I will add, for heinous government contractors and sat with people having discussions on how best to kill lots of people efficiently without a thought as to any ethical consequences of their ac

Press alt twice and type in the title for a partial match of the window title. That is all I ask for.

I missed the confirmation step above. That would happen once the payment has been correlated. At step 3 in your list above the payment would time out and a refund would be issued. Usually payments time out as well so you can usually reserve

It's an old SOA pattern. Most of those patterns are still valid if you take away the WS-* cack and stuff.

ERP call is atomic and happens first. All that says Is "can I have 2kg of potatoes for 10mins please?" If that returns a success code then you can process the payment. Also if the ERP says "in ten days you can have that amoun

We've moved down this path from a massively complicated distributed transaction environment on top of MSMQ, SQL Server etc and you know what? With some careful design and thought about ordering operations and atomic service endpoints,

Well there goes my long laborious afternoon of sysadmin work that I wasn't looking forward to! :-)

Yep that's the one. It was done by Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt under the guise of The Mighty Boosh.

I do now but I didn't a few years ago. Someone bought me a Tassimo. I feel sick if I drink coffee too late when I wake up.

It varies. I used to run a lot. It just hurt afterwards. No tiredness.

Yes definitely adverse effects. 1. My bowel has no idea what is going on half of the time so no routine there. 2. Snoring when I do sleep. This has caused a number of problems with the wife and neighbours. 3. I can't drink alcohol at a

I need very little sleep. I go to bed about 1am and wake up about 5-5:30am every day. I'm never tired. I had a two day long migraine in 1995 and have been like it ever since. Never had a migraine after that one either. Had my nut stuff
