Oh, I see it now... over there in the box labelled "things that are the answer to today's CCC".
Well done, your turn on Monday.

That's a bloody big box - those things are HUGE!
Not quite the in the room, but close ...

Wish I could remember who said that - probably the late, great DNA. "Last chance to see" perhaps?

Hi All,
There was a leak & then in fixing it the contractors 'naffed' up the repair meaning the coffee machines have no ability to make coffee. Well due the 'new' coffee machines the 'elf & Safety did away with Kettels as we could get hot water for tea from the coffee machines and the boiling water taps (they have never worked!). So now I am trying to where the nearest place I can get a coffee from is and 'joy' it is raining... Life Sucks for me today, but it is Friday !

Dial 999 / 911 (Either will work).
When they ask "Which service do you require?" reply "Caffeine" and they will transfer you to the nearest ECS*. For Coffee and Donuts, reply "Police".
* Emergency Coffee Supplier. (Or a branch of Starbucks, whichever is closer.)

OK, but I will blame you...

- Put a cup of water on CPU.
- Disable all safety measures on your computer.
- Run resource heavy program.
- Wait for water to boil.
- Ask IT guys for a new computer.
Don't ruin these steps by bringing in reality and sense

You may joke but in the past when I was working on RFID the most effective way to cool the reader was to place a mug of cold coffee on it!

I reckon it is time to relive past for you. Nostalgia.

Same trouble here with the new coffee machine, after a few cups of coffee it gave up with all kind of errors on the display. Nobody knew how to clean it, as there was no user manual only an unreadable installation manual. So after a week it was goodbye to that machine and a new one was purchased.
A tip: always keep some instant coffee at hand

Quote: instant coffee You mean the coffee like substance that you mix with hotwater?

Do I detect a bit of irony in your question?

Just a touch!

This movie script reflects the situation accurately
"...
You know, in my day, when you wanted to make a cup of coffee you just had to boil the water and strain the grinds. Now it seems like you need a PhD. Dad, you have a PhD. That's a juicer.

Here's another nice quote: Quote: He was my cream, and I was his coffee - And when you poured us together, it was something

So they released the winners of the Nobel prize in literature today.
As usual I haven't a clue who they are. And it's probably about as good as usual.
So allow me to introduce my suggestion for best literature instead :
BEFOREHAND: close door, each window & exit; wait until time.
open spellbook, study, read (scan, select, tell us);
write it, print the hex while each watches,
reverse its length, write again;
kill spiders, pop them, chop, split, kill them.
unlink arms, shift, wait & listen (listening, wait),
sort the flock (then, warn the "goats" & kill the "sheep");
kill them, dump qualms, shift moralities,
values aside, each one;
die sheep! die to reverse the system
you accept (reject, respect);
next step,
kill the next sacrifice, each sacrifice,
wait, redo ritual until "all the spirits are pleased";
do it ("as they say").
do it(*everyone***must***participate***in***forbidden**s*e*x*).
return last victim; package body;
exit crypt (time, times & "half a time") & close it,
select (quickly) & warn your next victim;
AFTERWORDS: tell nobody.
wait, wait until time;
wait until next year, next decade;
sleep, sleep, die yourself,
die at last No, I don't have a clue who wrote it originally.

It seems everybody is so impressed that they forget to react.
Even Griff will be weeping after reading: Quote: kill the "sheep"

Seems they are all completely stunned to see real poetry in the Lounge. It's either that or Perl.

Btw. how is your quest for the ultimate tablet going ?
|
|
|
|

Crap.
It seems the selection of tablets to choose from over here is really poor. And I don't really feel like importing one over the internet from overseas.
So at the moment I'm looking at:
- Lenovo P10, but it's not really having fancy hardware at all, so then I would have to buy a new one again in a couple of years. But it's at least fairly cheap.
- Samsung S5e, if I can find out how to remove the crapware that Samsung always put on their machines.
- Another iPad. But they're both expensive and incompatible with everything not made by Apple. But they really do last.

We were thinking about a vacation in Sweden next year, maybe I can take a tablet with me

Lenovo P10
Samsung S5e, you would have to root it. I'd prefer living with the crapware... but that would be my choice from the list.
iPad, nah.
