RE: Outlook being Outlook
In Outlook, a word can be half grammar error (blue double line) and half spelling error (red wavy line).
100% reproducible. Type: "Get apple." With cursor after "t", add space "a" then space. Backspace to remove the space, then type "n."

RE: Outlook being Outlook
What is this black square attacking my Outlook?
The square is not as powerful as attachments or calendar entries. Email contents and scrollbars have a mixed record.

@izzion How serious is it? I just checked weather.gov, there is a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in Travis and surrounding counties. Please be safe! Will there be flooding?

That's what, one semester?
Depending on the college, maybe a week.
If you want us to care, you'd better be bringing at least half a million. That gets you real attention...
Yeah, but those look like primary and secondary school students with their parents. Could be a good program.

Not where to put this one. Saw it on Slashdot. I guess WTF Bites is good.
North Yorkshire Council to phase out apostrophe use on street signs
A local authority has announced it will ban apostrophes on street signs to avoid problems with computer systems.

@Gearhead Quick question, outside my expertise, I am not a database expert. When would replacing Oracle MySQL with MariaDB be a problem? My first reaction was stored procedures don't work right but there are column rules and others no? Thank you! -GH

@BernieTheBernie Have you ever seen the Debian Policy Manual? Nobody with attention deficit can ever manage to learn that thing, and I believe passing an exam on that is still a requirement for getting upload permissions to Debian repositories.
True. You cannot directly upload unless you are a Debian Developer. Becoming a Debian Developer is a long hard haul.
Debian has many sub-groups, some on R, some on games, etc. They can help explain how to package. For me, it took a long time, maybe 100 hours, before I could even write coherent questions to the e-mail list. The obtuse packaging and publishing system is difficult but learnable. Any time I had a new question might mean five hours of reading and experimentation. But I accept that, this is software. The Debian teams have always been receptive and helpful.
Please replace Oracle MySQL with MariaDB. About 4 yrs ago I did this and it was great.

@dkf Hi dkf, thank you for your comment, In my formative youth, we debugged embedded hardware with ICE. Now in my old age I still hack C++ and VB.Net stuff.

RE: WTF Bites
It provides a large and very visible sign that "technology is deployed in this location; please adjust your level of seriousness appropriately".
Thank you! I approve.

RE: WTF Bites
We'd do better at being taken seriously as a profession if our hardware still had blinkenlights, front panel toggles, and a reel-to-reel tape drive. None of that would need to actually do anything useful, but it definitely looked impressive and technical in ways that an anime wallpaper never will.
Many still do blinkenlights. Personally I no longer do embedded but our staff who still do a lot of device code.
Could you explain how this would help the profession? I'm genuinely interested.
