  • Have you ever had Windows break so badly that you had to burn an install disk…

    As a programmer, yes under Windows 3.0 I could crash the computer so hard that the only way to recover was to reformat the hard disk. It got progressively better in later versions and everything from Windows 2000 has been virtually uncrashable.

    My most recent hard crash was when I had a VM, two Minecraft instances and Firefox all open at the same time and Windows ran out of memory (so I upgraded from 32GB to 64GB). It does make me wonder why some of that didn’t get swapped out though.





  • Interesting question. I thought it said as much in Gen 1:24-25 or Gen 2:19, but a quick scan suggests the first reference to male and female animals is in the Ark arc.

    It is possible Gen 2:21 could be interpreted to mean God did the rib thing for all male animals, but I think that’d be an unusual extrapolation. Those verses appear only to be talking about Adam. I think male and female animals were created together in Gen 1:24-25, but I can’t point to any specific words that support that.

    Speaking as a developer myself, it’s likely not the devs’ fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers’ throats is far more important.


  • Well that’s OK. It’s not uncommon for different countries to name bits of land and water differently from everyone else. Take Germany for example. The locals call it Deutschland. The French call it Allemagne. Or there are the Falklands, known by the argybargies as Las Malvinas. If Donny McFart in North Mexico wants to call that bit of water the Freedom Gulf or whatever then good for him! As long as he realises it works both ways.
