More so if you code for VW.

Astronomy in the lounge I can live with, but why is it in the Insider newsletter?
It takes up precious space where IT related news could be...
|
|
|
|
|
I'm guessing, but there is probably one heck of a lot of IT used in modern Astronomy...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Sure, but that's not what most articles are about.
There's a lot of IT in production lines too, but I don't see articles about that

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I subscribe to a production newsletter where 70%-80% of the content is IT related. So, what are you complaining about?
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

Contrary to popular belief we IT folks can be productive too

My daughter can attest to that. She has a doctorate in astronomy. Her thesis involved writing software for adaptive optics.

Given the crap that is sometimes posted in the newsletter, I'm glad of something a little more interesting. Perhaps if you'd care to go and find some IT related news, you could add it to the forum.

Gosh, Pete, that seems a bit harsh; I think Kent and Sean (and, now, Kevin) do an exceptional job of web-crawling and distilling the tasty/juicy from the hype and dregs.
cheers, Bill

But they aren't the only ones who post in there are they? Also, Kent has sometimes let his standards slip - on slow news days.

Wow, that was uncalled for. Of course personal taste, but I find the newsletter quite OK, especially when compared to other "IT" newsletters.
|
|
|
|
|
And which bit, exactly, was uncalled for? The fact that I called some of the content that has been posted crap? Do you honestly believe that all of the content that has ever been in there is of the highest quality?

This is an overly sensitive crowd these days, here at CP. Has been for a while, IMHO. You have to think about everyone's feelings before posting your opinion.

I find this offensive!

IMHO, the Insider News is the real Technology Insider - the one-stop-shop for the state-of-the-art. The one site to visit every single day.

You know this really sounds like "I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite shop on the Citadel"?

Imagine being greeted by that in the original voice every time you enter this place.

That just sounds dirty to me

Wow, I wouldn't go so far as to call it crap... Lots of good stuff in there.
Not saying the Astronomy isn't interesting, but I don't think it belongs in an IT newsletter.
