Your IG team will know. From my understanding, from the yearly IG briefings I used to have, you would be able to provide that requester with information on how to obtain their personal access, and point out to them where they can find the i

Just bought and did a big upgrade on a used Acer Aspire One ZG5. Great little machine. Perfect for working on the train, where space is very cramped, and since I'm already walking 4 miles a day with one full size laptop in my backpack, the

Australia also has some interesting history with daylight savings. I remember it being used for a discussion of DateTimeOffset in .net because it could showcase all the different scenarios.

I'm a terrible natural cook, so I use recipe books. I can't say that this information is surprising. Recipes are always calling for things like double cream and a great deal of olive oil or deep frying where baking will do. I just don't pay

Yep, I've had math through differential equations (so long ago it doesn't matter anymore), but never touched on abstract algebra that I can remember. Thanks for the info.

If they'd managed to work in the actual reason for the change, it'd be just that much better. Other than that, that's one bored dev. Or, that's the kind of stuff I write when I'm bored and punchy at the end of a long night.
