Calendars are complicated things, especially when one has to do comparisons with historical frames of reference.
So what happened on the 30th February 1712?

Or indeed what happened between Oct 4th and October 15th 1582? Some say it 'flew by' others say there was one hell of a party on Oct 4th.

 I didn't know about that either, so I had to Google it.
Now am I going to use this information for good or evil?

Already working on it. Once I get my hands on a DeLorean, I should be able to tear a rift in the space-time continuum :evilgrin:

You've use it on evil. I'm going to research about that on Google, when I realize it doesn't exist! You got me on that.

In Visual Studio 2013, if you File->New Project->Web Application, and run the result, you're presented with a page of useful links to help you build out your app.
One of the links reads as below:
Social Logins
You can (sic) the support so that users can login using their Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft Account and more.
◦ Add Social Logins
◦ Get more data about the user when they login suing Facebook
"login suing Facebook" eh? Grimly prophetic, or possibly Freudian

I said it was probably easy!
Well done.

Must have missed that match, but that's a great result for Bury at the San Siro.

Rightly described as an upset.
Incidentally, I just heard one of our developers describing source safe as "the source code suppository". Not sure if that was a Freudian gym slip or not.

If, through some SciFi means (such as time travel), I manage to make an exact copy of my cellphone (including SIM card) and someone were to call me, what would happen? Would both ring? Would the first one the service provider detect ring? Would the service provider, upon detecting two devices with identical SIM cards, reason that there is some shenanigans going on and block them both?
Just curious.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Probably depends who wrote the software: in theory it's not just the SIM, it's the IMEI which is unique to the phone which should be the problem: it's what the base stations use to ID the phone hardware (you don't need a SIM to make emergency calls, but you do need an IMEI). In theory, duplicate IMEI == shenanigans == no service.
But...do you trust developers?

Sure I trust developers. I've never met a developer who couldn't be trusted to create bugs.

You should probably add this to your profile:
OriginalGriff's profile: ...
Has problems spelling the word "the".
Has problems spelling the word "IMEI".
...
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

If I included the whole list of words I have difficulty spelling...

The phones would become self-aware and go looking for each other, then going in a fight where they would try and chop off their antennas using light sabers.
