And you did what about it?

Blame the widows, not the orphans!

What the fuck are you talking about.
Technical literacy in the 80s was way worse than now. It was the IT availability which was way smaller.
there were also way less computer viruses, much less interconnection between computers, way less standardization, etc. A multitude of factors which made IT very different from what it is now.

Maybe not in the States, where you still have swipe credit cards. Which don't require a PIN code to work!
And I agree with the GP, the analogy is horribly built.

Use PLEX. It's free (with some premium features) and works like a charm.

I have been testing TFS and got a parsing error at "(way to many)".

Having over 50% young females on my floor, I vote for this.

He bought something he doesn't know what ELSE to do with. But fine, be a jackass.

I'm doing that right now :)

Hey man, how are the 90s?

Nah, a Microsoft OS would reboot much sooner.
Punishment for using Linux: now they'll have to wait for a decade to see a reboot.

I guess a whooosh is in order.

I actually was taught DRAKON charts (a variation of it) in high school back in '96. It tremendously helped me in more ways than strictly programming (which I never embraced). My teacher used to call it pseudocode back then, although Pseudocode is different.
At the time, generating a high level overview of the processes in DRAKON before building any code was mandatory, and it sped up code generation because you always knew what the next steps would be.

I'm Romanian, you inconsiderate clod!
This means I'm nerdier than you'd think, because I adhere to my country's decimal rules. Ta-daa!
