This is true, but Verizon could operate with a certain sense of... decorum. Plus, I doubt they lose that much money in early termination due to deceased individuals.

Why would a corporation care about a grieving widow, unless there was some sort of bad publicity to arise out of... oh dear.

Perhaps now the overworked, underpaid developers who did this can get back to work on flash for 64-bit Linux.

And while I'm in a bitter mood... It still amazes me how flash can be so horribly inefficient even at video playback. Ancient VLC versions play back H264 with far less CPU usage than current Linux flash does. I do wonder how Adobe manages to achieve this disparity in performance.

I'm middle-endian, you insensitive clod.

He was the voice of Darth Maul. He also created the fantastically funny "science" show Look Around You, and has been involved in various comedies including Shaun of the Dead.

This is why we can't really use sixth-form qualifications in this area as an indicator of a candidate's ability to program - we have to assume they know nothing, and look to Maths & Science qualifications for indication of their skills.

I learnt Pascal and VB6 back when I was at sixth form. Then I went to uni, was taught C and thought to myself "why didn't they teach us this!? I know NOTHING".

That makes sense, given the risk of an IE update breaking the "IE collection" somehow. Luckily for me the versions work independently enough that it's sufficient for all my testing. If it wasn't I think I'd be doing exactly what you are.

That used to be the case, but I believe they have fixed that - I run IE6, IE7 and IE8 on a rig for development purposes, and the conditionals seem to work.

Yes, you can :)

1. The member of staff acted with prejudice towards sexuality, so I think the punishment is fair.
2. They were so dim-witted as to not figure out that they'd misheard the person, what with the GUIDE DOG AT HIS SIDE and all... they shouldn't be in that job, or have some serious learning to do.
3. It would be nice to see the $1500 go to a charity, but its their choice.

Touché good sir, touché.

Well, it's a good job this just happened, then.

They pick stretches of road that don't have the opportunity to stop, or leave the road, and take your average speed.

So, they take one of the safest stretches of road and penalise people if they speed on it? Without wanting to condone speeding, surely it's a better idea to fine people for speeding in locations that are of increased risk or have a history of accidents?
