I was there. Ask any grey beard.

Norton was the worst virus out there. Impossible to get rid of.

The north pole and a circle of lat 1 + 1 / (2 * PI) north of the south pole. The distance is an approximation but is 'close enough for rocket science'. When you walk east you circumnavigate.

1 + 1 / (2 * PI) north of the south pole. When you walk east you circumnavigate. They have a circumnavigation race every year at the south pole.

You all fail.

North pole and anyplace on a line of latitude that is 1 + 1/(2*PI) miles north of the south pole. The 1/2*PI is an approximation that assumes the pole is flat.

I also play KSP. When do I start?

There was that retirement party for the Israeli spook general. More or less gave him credit.

What other 'reformed' virus authors do you allow to install software on your PC?

Even if Norton was perfect, they still have decades to go before I'd consider trusting them. I'd install software from 'Cryptolocker LLC' first.

Crappy used laptops are cheap. You don't need 16. You need 4. The first one will be about done by the time you get the 4th one started.

If you fix this problem they will more then likely fire you. Nobody likes a smart-ass. They know what your time is worth, likely not much. Just do it the slow way.

Seriously, you are an upgrade monkey.Just monkey on and look for a better job where you can use your skills and you will be _paid for them_.

Alternatively: If your employer is contracting to do the upgrades, figure out how to do it in 25% of the time and take the business from them. They don't own their clients, but likely think they do.

You got to admit the rate of getting worse has been highest when ether party could do what they wanted.

The Boeing C-17 never had problems like this, and it is a lot larger.

Agreed. The Unix way is to use modular tools. IDE's are the antithesis of that. Eclipse is systemd of development, one size fits few and shitily. Completely inflexible. Emacs is by far the best option available, on any platform. Used to be you'd be laughed off this forum if you suggested anything else.

No model can show CO2 by itself is a problem. There is not enough of it.

To make CO2 a problem you have to say that increasing CO2 will force heating/increasing H20 vapor which will force additional heating/H20 vapor.

Some just raised the model coefficients (to get the results they wanted) and were embarrassed by those who better understood the model.

Only because they don't have to pay for it. Give them time.

Shutting down the federal government was a tactical mistake, but spending is a problem no western government has under control.

No Discordian would carry a card, you poser.
