And why that UI is so pathetic.
1. A huge waste of space, taking up 80% of my monitor unless I resize it.
2. Chat window requires clicking on some obtuse icon.
3. It's tiny, because of course 80% of the UI has to be reserved for ads, so I have to resize it manually.
Skype has become such a piece of sh*t since Microsoft got hold of it (not that it wasn't before, haha).
It's funny, I was just thinking how pathetic most UI's have gotten in the last few years, as they make room for more and more ads, social media bling, and other crap that I don't need. I think if you showed the UI design of 2014 to someone in the late 80's, they would scream at all the bullshit taking up valuable screen space.

Thank you - we just got letters that the company unifies the usage of IM software. From January we all move to Skype...
Can't wait for it 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Have been reading about this initiative of expert advice on programming questions that is in the main section of CP. Did anyone notice that the link back to CodeProject is broken on Google's page? https://support.google.com/helpouts/topic/6109483?hl=en&ref_topic=6093032[^]. Someone should be fired...!

No it's not, I just tried it. Must have been fixed.

It's fixed now. It was missing the ever important .com part.

Reuters site is hacked too... It must have been an advertisement rotator, but as the page was loading I got redirected to a "You need to update Flash Player" page hosted on FavDownloads dot something. Plus the comical "Are you sure you and to leave this page" message pop-up when I used the back button.
These guys are sooo lame...

I just had a bowl of fruit loops. Never had them before, that I can recall. Will never have them again. I was desperate: needed food and it was all I could find in the office kitchen (yes, way too lazy to walk the hundred yards to the store and actually buy something).
To be fair, I had a few mouthfuls and threw the rest away.
How do people eat that krap??? Tasted like I was eating fruit flavored sugar which, I suppose, I was.
I did manage to eat a packet of peanuts instead.

As someone who used to work there and make them, they are not my cup of tea. They are marketed to children for a reason.
However, Kellogg has started produced Mini Wheats with fruit in the middle; I am quite enjoying them in the morning (a change of pace from two slices of toast and peanut butter)

Took them long enough. Someone else, don't recall if Post or General Mills, was doing shredded wheat with vaguely fruity filling 25 or 30 years ago when I was a kid.
Also, I feel old for some reason this morning. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I don't remember the Post/General Mills product, although I suspect General Mills. Post tends to be sugar frosted Cocoa Bombs marketed towards children.
The Kellogg product I currently have has identifiable raisins in the center as opposed to something akin to, but maybe not ACTUALLY, fruit.

What did you think it was going to be like, when it's spelled 'Froot Loops', and there's the cartoon Toucan on the box?

Is that honey baked ham in your avatar picture, or maple glazed? Perhaps oven-roasted turkey. Damn it! Now I need to eat a sandwich.

Honey baked, IMHO the world be a better place if we all enjoyed the simple pleasures of a good sandwich.

If it comes in a box and is found in the middle of the grocery store, it's not real food. It's a food knock-off. Artificial flavors is another way of saying chemicals that don't even taste like the real thing. Throw some sugar on top and people eat it anyway. All because it sits on a shelf without going bad for like a year.

As with most food items these days, they don't make them like they used to.
I remember when Golden Grahams was the bomb. Now, I can't even look at the box.
