FWIW, if you loaded this thing onto your phone, you deserve whatever happens.

It’s common practice to charge the book labor rate for jobs when much or all of that labor is already being done as part of another job. Whenever I’ve brought it up, I’ve gotten pushback along the lines of “it’s policy; we can’t change it” — only to find they’ve miraculously discovered how to apply a credit when I…

Remember that Microsoft’s mantra is “Embrace and Extend,” which means support existing standards and try to break them by adding additional features that users will want. It’s a model that other software publishers have to follow if they want to distinguish their product in the marketplace, so the real legacy of…

Crap. It wasn’t until this morning that I heard the joke about the ship being rechristened as the Mitch McConnell because it was blocking so much vital stuff, so I missed the chance to pass it along before it was inapplicable.

Makes me wonder whether the sample size without the Cafe cats was less than impressive, so they added the Cafe cat data to increase the sample size while at the same time trying to imply that those data could be ignored because they don’t differ significantly from the too-small “real” data set?

Meh. Who needs ice extent reports for the arctic? Here ya go:
