Yes, as others have noted, it must be cut and pasted to some separate app to remove the formatting.

I had the worst time with Libreoffice when it would convert my USPS tracking numbers into... something else. At some point, they finally allowed me to enter a number as a text field. Now I can enter my tracking numbers without them being mutilated.

Going back to the subject, when I want to copy and paste some text, I expect and want ASCII text! I DO NOT WANT some crappy formatting in my reply. If only I could hurl a javelin at those who think they need some font and size to express their point that could be made with text, of any size or font. The message is important, the delivery is not.

And a large wooden badger.

I paraphrase the line from "What about Bob?".

I loved HP for their RPN calculators. Later, I was unhappy with their oscilloscopes that had flaky triggers (compared with the excellent Tektronics.) Then I bought two well-used laserjets and was happy for years. So far, so good?

Their business behavior in the last decade* has been unacceptable. Reprehensible. "Burn in Hell, HP!"

* I don't know the exact dates. But at some point, HP went from customer friendly to customer antagonistic.

No mod points right now, but it sounds like you nailed it. It is always funny when a big corporation loses money on a really stupid purchase.

Minor thought: would the world be better if the stupid CEOs were prevented from getting into management? I do mean the truly stupid CEOs. For some reason, they worm their way into the higher levels. And stay there. And they destroy our industry.

If his wife could throw him a sandwich, why couldn't she send him money for his fare? I guess the story is deeper than the song suggests. (For those who do not get the reference, look up the "Man who never returned".)

I have thought about this, and think that something that is like archive.org for host and domain resolutions could be integrated into a host's resolver. Or at a higher level, browsers, email clients, RSS readers, and whatever.

What if there were a site that archived every DNS change, and your system could log everything. And on request, you could use the actual and not hijacked DNS data.

There were so many insightful posts about their insanity of changing their name, and I had mod points. Consider all those modded up.

I am reminded of the Monty Python episode where an agent changed the name of "Conquistador Instant Coffee" to "Conquistador Instant Leprosy". It was an "ad campaign" then a joke.

Many of us remember "New Coke".

Some of us may remember when "Dr. Dobb's Journal" tried to change their name to "Software Tools". I sent them a VERY STERN message telling them that they were assholes for trying that stupid move. I hope my small vote as a subscriber made them learn their error. FWIW, I actually bought almost all back issues before I subscribed in the mid '80s, so I had the complete collection.

Anyway, when a company has loyal (or at least repeat) customers, they should understand that changing their public image might be an offensive gesture to their customers.

As a certified private pilot and as a ham operator (extra), I have an opinion on this. Avionics are hugely expensive. Probably because they have to meet all kinds of FAA and FCC regulations. I could not just buy a Baofeng radio or other device and shove it into the sleeve where my King or other radio used to reside. I don't remember the details, but one of my radios was old tube and one was transistor. They both worked, so I was fine with that.

Now, today, it is different.

WRONG! I have brewed beer off and on for almost four decades. There is NO discarded barley or yeast. This should be the end.

As a brewer, I have two choices. The easier is to use malt extract, which is the sugar taken from the barley malt. The other is to extract the sugar myself from the barley converted to sugars. Either method uses yeast to convert the sugars into beer.

And there are NO carbohydrates left over. There may be proteins in the beer.

At the end, ALL the sugars are converted into alcohol.

Thanks for the explanation.

Just reading the summary, I wonder if those jobs are really useful in the big picture. I know that IT is important, and companies need people who can manage their ZFS, backup, database, and "cloud" systems. But is "analytics" really more than marketing shit?

On the other side of the employment coin, I have decades of experience with assembly and C and have trouble getting interviews. Supposedly, the embedded market is good. Well, except for the "chip shortage".

The first line of this story is, "Trevor Milton, the founder and former chairman and CEO of electric heavy truck maker Nikola,"
Does this not state that the company is a maker of heavy trucks? Secondly, do they actually make heavy trucks? If not, is this not a lie?!

No. The original quote was "...create .. nearly 50,000 jobs ...per year". That means hiring 50K people every year.

I also get grumpy when "journalists" do not understand the difference between power and energy. If they failed high school physics, why can't they ask their coworker that did not fail physics?

Maybe the hate did not seem authentic?
"To continue, you must authentic-hate to the server."

Oh, look! Bad company #1 is fighting bad company #2! And vice versa. The drama must equal, or at least approach the boastful speeches from the wrestling professionals. At least, one of those may be entertaining.
