Bill Gates is no longer active in Microsoft acquisitions, also dont forget this was 42 years ago, when the market was tiny and Microsoft was a scrappy little startup dependent on software licensing to survive. Interesting, but not relevant

Exactly. Same with EOS, Iota, NEM and the other 1497 shitcoins. A themeforest logo, someone else's whitepaper through google translate to some language then back to english exported to PDF, pull some random linkedin profiles, a fiverr.

At least with books, Goodreads takes care of that.

Agree. A380 economy is much better than any recent densified 777 (Eva air exception still 9 across), or 787 where airlines threw the Boeing design guidelines of 2/4/2 out the window and went for 3/3/3 (JAL exception).

Unless list for a 787 is 600m and there no salvagable parts these figures see way wrong

I think its 20 on the way with some more options. regardless of the economics the a380 is best in class in economy for Joe public since the densification program of the 777 started some years ago - Qatar used to be great in 9 across - 10 su

I wasn't curl'ing and greping for 200... I think that was obvious. Things aren't working for a number of users, what's going on, if I found out here or twitter first then you've failed. At least tell me via your sta

I don't consider a non working status page trivial. Yes, if a SaaSs send me into a rage then there probably dozens of red flags already, yes I will work with clients to drop or replace such SaaS with one that can communicate, absolutel

by sitepodmatt 8y ago
This is why I make clients drop/replace SaaSs. When SaaS don't update status page, or in a transparent and prompt way, because it's not 100% outage it rages me, especially if the reports are found elsewhere - twitter/red

Are end user computers with 32gb ram going to be norm anytime soon?

I think I agree with your sentiment, but I'd think you'd be surprised how much a click next salesfarce developer charges...

Microsoft and others enterprise selling vendors loved the end goal back in early 2000s - the universal API solved by middleware. That's why you had Biztalk and Biztalk consultants that made more than SAP consultants (think todays crazy

More interesting is how Facebook classifies these traits automatically? I can see someone specifying gardening as an interest but even one of those asswipes presumably have enough intelligence not to specify terrorism as a hobby

It is, Ive witnessed cabin crew refuse or ignore multiple times, and clearly says so on their website too that passengers must be able to put luggage in the bins themselves. Makes sense to me, if you can't lift it then it's probab

by sitepodmatt 8y ago
Maybe part of the plan, it's difficult to enforce hand luggage limitations at airports without adding extra checks, but if you exceed 10kg that overweight suitcase is going to make some drag on carpet. Small nudges, similarly how BA ca

I don't know the exact details, but everyone adopted the silly 100ml liquid max per bottle nonsense post 9/11?, but the rest of stuff such TSA approved laptop bags are not in practice or at least not known by the contracted staff
81.
by sitepodmatt 8y ago
Yep same in most airports in SE Asia too. TSA made everyone's job harder, sorry I mean travel safer, by banning more than 100ml of liquid, so nowadays probably reluctant to adopt more TSA rules even if they are now somewhat logical.

It surprises me that other major airports choose to independently innovate without just copying Changi (Singapore's airport). Everything from free cinemas, to carpeted walkways, to water taps, to efficent immigration and security and m

It shocks me that there are no AT&T network/sysadmins at the right level and department on this forum that don't cringe in shame and sort this out.

I'm not sure the ownership is disputed? perhaps the original owner has had an accident or suffering a mental or other illness. Github/Freenode could attempt to reach out to the current account holder to verify he/she is stil

Shouldn't this be the retailers problem, I've have kicked up a shit storm for a replacement there and then.

I think USA was pretty unique with free local calls and hence why the scene took off big there. In the UK* we used to have to wait till 6pm for the price to drop from 5p a minute to 1p so internet usage and BBS prior was pretty constrained
