Transitions are game changing. Sounds like someone who doesn't wear glasses all the time. I even had transition sunglasses before I needed glasses - got tired of taking them off going in/out all day.

Not sure who created this (I kkow, XKCD), but it's mediocre.

Double-ended extension cords belongs in the top ~~left~~ right corner. Sounds bad and is bad.

And what, a fine of 1%? Which will simply reduce their tax burden, so now that have $7 mil to spend elsewhere internally

But not men?

What I can learn in 10 minutes courtesy of the internet is staggering.

Even if I was at a library, standing in front of the card catalog, it would take longer to even find a book/periodical to even start a search on a subject.

Add my pocket computer (yea, we call them smart phones) with note-taking apps, and what I can study/learn and keep in a searchable personal DB of sorts is just amazing. It's something that was talked about before personal computers were even ubiquitous, and it arrived incredibly quickly since then.

I'm surprised it's that high, and see that number as a positive.

I wonder what businesses this included? It's a hard sell in SMB to implement any kind of MFA.

Is their entire stock like this every time, or just this one batch?

The one I remember looked almost exactly like this.

It was pretty exciting to see, thought for sure it would take 10 years to come to market. That was about 2008 ish.

That's my assumption too, but we're talking about a different era, and I really have no idea how they approached validation and test/troubleshooting.

I've seen some test environments for manned missions, but that's really for humans to validate what they're doing.

V'ger was quick 'n dirty by comparison (with no criticism of the process or folks involved...they had one chance to get these missions out there).

As an American, I flip-flop (unintentionally) between British and American spellings on a number of words.

Unless OP is writing for a published doc, I don't really think it matters all that much.

I've worked with Brits - English, Scot, Irish (and many Indians), and while they may write or pronounce things slightly differently than I'm used to, we understand each other just fine. I even appreciate hearing their construction and phrasing.

I was initially unsure of your analogy, ready to disagree. But continued reading to see where you were going.

As a car buff, yea, it's a great comparison. I really do prefer the original modified version of a car... Sometimes the re-do of a mod is too perfect, lacks something, part of it's character is gone.

There's something about the older, imperfect version. Where the shifter didn't work perfectly, so grabbing third had to be done "just so".

It leaves room for me, the human element - just like "imperfect" special effects leaves room for human imagination to fill the gaps.

Date/Time stamp in the document name.

Common practice in business.

End name with YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss

Use 24hr/military time, and you'll never confuse two files/versions. Plus you get sorting.
