Cancer Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The big item (jewelry) won't come for a while, probably the end of the month.

Cancer Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER She asked for (and got) a new Pyrex baking dish. She has just about all the cooking gear we can use (and store); that's long been a gift theme, but it's about exhausted now. The only reason she asked for the new baking dish is because the old one broke (which I didn't know until she asked). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER Crap. Had to ask for another week of admin privileges on this silly machine. Sigh. If I hadn't been spending money like water this last month, I'd blow it off and buy me the laptop I've been coveting. With a familiar OS and ownership, I can get what I want in half an hour. Mind you, I can't say I'm familiar with Vista, which is what the laptop would almost certainly come with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I use a crappy laptop running Linux most of the time and only use the windows laptop if I have to access one of the IE only pages. I really should get WINE running to get around all of it.

If it works under other browsers it is a happy coincidence, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Re: Longest Running Thread EVER The really big culprit is Siebel, followed by a couple of other CRM software mfrs. These clowns code for IE and nothing but IE, and then dumb@ss CIOs who don't know any better buy it for any website that requires even a marginally complicated back end database. So although I have 98% of my company on low-maintenance Macs, I have to support Parallels or VMware or Virtual PC on all of them, with Windoze licenses, just so that everyone has a copy of Windows IE6 they can use to use vendor configurators or bid on gubmint contracts. I have yet to see any of these sites done in a way that couldn't have been done better in PHP/MySQL or (if it was reeeally complicated) Javascript or even Flash. Siebel has to be one of the bigger scams going on in the IT industry today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIOs are by the nature of being corporate officers a proper subset of Dilbertian dumb@ss's who don't know any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
