@HardwareGeek Or it's one of those stupid printers that, no matter what, insists on printing black by blending colors.
Probably. However, at this point, I have printed all 6 pages I need to print, and I can stop at Fry's when I go out later and get ink. However, I needed to print before I go out, because I need those pieces of paper when I go out.
-
@HardwareGeek An ink printer will usually blend colours to achieve gray - I suspect that the (lack of) density for black jets would lead to visible rasterization otherwise.

Professor Evanschitzky, from Aston Business School, said that while the limited nature of the stock and celebrity branding had an impact on sales, people sometimes queued for the experience.
"We have found in studies, people who go out shopping to have an experience, the product is conduit for the experience," he said.
"A certain clientele really like the experience of queuing with like-minded people, talking about fashion.

@loopback0 I thought you lived in the UK. Isn't queueing your national pastime over there?

I would have associated it more with eastern-European countries back when they were communist...

I always thought it was a US thing. The only place where somebody seriously suggested we should stand in line for ~2h to get some food was in LA.

This country seems to be going the way of Italy, where queueing is considered a crime against humanity.

Unless the implication was that they're still waiting, just not orderly. That would be worse.

I like the russian way of doing queues. You go with a few mates, and stand in different lines, and when one of you gets to the teller/register/wtf-ever all of you go to that guy and get your stuff done at that teller.

How the hell do you cock-up your journal paper this bad:
The rest of it is actually good...the bits that aren't spelled wrong or just missing.

I found an interesting queue implementation at LAX once. I was at ticketing/check-in, and when I got to the front of my line after a half hour of waiting, the employee said, "That's not a real line and you're cutting. You need to go to the back of that line." So I switched lines, waited another half hour, and got to the front of the new line. Then, the employee ignored me and assisted several people from the "not-a-real-line" that I was in before.

Have them write an essay on the respective merits of separate vs. central vs. multilevel feedback queues in canteen application?

I had to serve jury duty recently in Dallas county, Texas. They use an online process that replaces the old paper forms, which is nice. But, it's not fully tested. The website is
https://www.dallascounty.org/ejuror/
, but the banner image ishttp://ejapp1:8080/ejuror/servlet/retrieveImage?imageId=lkPrrSp6L17lo6I412df53fea8b3adfa6c2ec456dd22e24
. Hm, I wonder what I should replaceejapp1:8080
with? Actually, it didn't work in this case, but the same mistake was present when requesting a PDF of past jury duty history, and replacing it withwww.dallascounty.org
worked and got me the PDF.

Naw, it's just that I've been in line one too many times, just one person in front of me and suddenly there are ten. If you find that okay then I hope you get to experience that situation plenty of times in the future.

@Rhywden I'm not really defending this behavior. It's just funny to see the only two forum members that I know are German, both complaining about people not queuing properly.

I know it's like 2 years old but this caught me out today. It was at work where I normally use Firefox and I only used Chrome because I needed to log into the app with 2 users in separate browsers.
Just in case only checking the SAN and not the CN wasn't annoying enough, the error Chrome spits out is "COMMON_NAME_INVALID" which is complete nonsense in this scenario. It's valid, Chrome just isn't checking it.
You then click the icon on the URL bar for it to show "Certificate (Invalid)" only to click that to see a certificate which is valid.

Don’t keep us in suspense, spill the beans!Just a user who has recently been promoted to a management position, is probably ADHD, has problems dealing with lots of responsibilities and got a little testy with one of my guys. The fellow who works with me did the right thing and called me. I called the client and talked him down off the ledge. This all happened because the hard drive in his machine failed and we could not get him back up in five minutes.
We had a nice little talk wherein he made an empty threat to have someone else fix it and I told him that would not be in his best interest because that triggers the termination clause in the contract and they have a stiff penalty for triggering that. To which he of course got all shitty and I pointed out that we could just steal the intern's computer (who only comes in on Mondays, and it is Tuesday, and then order him a nice shiny new computer. That calmed him down.
But that threat to get someone else in there really pissed me off. It just wasn't that big of a deal. He just has a lot on his plate and is overwhelmed. They recently went from an Executive Director that micromanaged everything to the point that he didn't do anything, to an Executive Director that has a philosophy similar to mine (Hire good people, train them well, leave them the fuck alone) and she gave him a raise and more responsibilities and he is not coping well. He just needed it pointed out to him that it was not a big deal and that it would b taken care of.
It's the kind of shit you have to do when you own the company. I just get annoyed when it happens when I am on vacation and am 8 hours away and can't do shit about it.
The empty threat also bothered me because my rapport with the new ED is pretty fucking amazing. She is an older black lady (65ish?) that is tough as nails and she and I get along really well. I would not have exercised the termination clause, but she and I would have had a very good conversation about how calling someone else over something nonpoint is not okay.
It is also an empty threat because I can absolutely guarantee that he had no one else to call. The guy can't even setup an email account on his phone. My guys constantly make side cash doing goofy shit for him at his house when he fucks up his DVR or whatever. If he had anyone else to call for such things he wouldn't be hitting them up.
