I was. Then I met and married a rather lovely middle calss english lady from a family of
academics and she enlightened me to the higher education grant system ( still had it back in the min 90's ). So I went off to Uni and did a Comp Sci degree.
I still do all of my own plumbing and heating of course.
I can just imagine you and 39 other Danish nerds giggling away.
I find what you just sed a bit awk
Always good to have something to fall back on.
Any bright kid coming out of school these days knows their way around a computer.
Could any of them fix my non-functioning radiator in the kitchen? Could they f**k.
Take your Unix puns and get out. Or you will C# ness enter my posts.
Of course they can fix your radiator.
Nah, we're too busy telling the 10 sorts of people in the world joke.
Be quiet or I shell bash your head in and grep you firmly round the throat
It's a trick question, only toilets have an IP address
Sorry, just getting in on the **** punnage
I'll rip your headers off and curl one out down the hole.
Somebody in your team wears this in the office, don't they
I think you're missing Headgear's point.
Upgrading stuff that works only increases misery.
I got his point. That said, ie6 is now 14 years old
Insisting systems run on that and that only as a compatibility model is like insisting cars are powered by steam.
Steam cars never really caught on though, tbf.
Also, it takes about 14 years to get a system working properly so it's a always a shame to have to start all over again.
Who's deliberately missing the point now?
OK, so ie6 doesn't support png transparency, svg animations, child selectors, query string injections of dynamic properties like usernames, most of CSS3 and bundles of jQuery either.
The web has moved on
Yes, but it will run on XP.
Are you ready to upgrade all the PCs?
You'll have to get new MS Office licenses as well, obviously.
Every department has its idiots, IT guys who think business people should have a good understanding
of IT processes are the ones who will never progress.
Business people don't need to understand anything IT at all, all they need is a system that will eneble them to do their job better and its the IT responsibility to provide that.
But they must work as a team because that is the only way to deliver a system that satisfies the business requirements.
Sure, and every IT guy will have met plenty of business users
that didn't know what the f**k the job they were supposed to be doing was, or what business requirements the system they were ordering had. We can only offer you tools that improve the processes of your job if you know what those processes are.
Absolutely, remember that I am (was) an IT man J - my main point is that we
should never work on the basis that users are IT experts
I agree 100% with everything you said
or possibly the grill.
