What Has Made You Laugh Today ?

[Mick F]

Sounds scary stuff Mick F, did any of your computers ever have a hissy fit and not work properly?

I used to regularly visit a computer/tech website called The Register. It amused me that the RN were planning to implement a hardened version of Windows. It got dubbed Windows for Warships after the, then current, Windows for Workgroups. Here's a link from around then (only chosen as it was the first result from The Register that came up in a search for "Windows for Warships") - https://www.theregister.com/2007/02/26/ ... es_at_sea/

Windows?
Wots that then?

We had scuttles - most landlubbers know them as portholes!

Seriously, though, when I was in, the computer stuff in the offices were OASIS and DIMPS.
Office Accounting and Stores Information System ........... and Data Information Messaging Processing System.
DIMPS was Tempest-proof and secure due to its cryptography.

Tempest was a method of listening to find any existing electromagnetic emissions emanating from equipment giving away the info.

I was involved in Tempest Testing for some time.

All the Memes and videos doing the rounds about Matt Hancock.There's some belters

Jonathan Pie's take on it is brilliant.I can't put the video up on here for obvious reasons but Google it if you're not easily offended

That's just a foul mouthed rant -- there's no effort to make it the slightest bit funny when the opportunity was handed to pie on a plate ( sorry )

You must have watched a different video to me then

I just didn't find pie funny when he had much opportunity to be funny.

That was my point.
I thought the exact opposite.

What has made me laugh today?
Nothing.

I'm not feeling too chipper. Muzzy feeling, blocked ears, and a bit of a sore throat.
Goodness knows where I've got it from.

That's your opinion.Personally I think he's bang on the money pretty much all the time.As for 'foul-mouthed' well that's depends on how you look at things.He talks as we would sat at work or in the pub or over the garden fence.That's why people like and follow him.

Listening to 'any questions' on R4 and the responses to the inevitable Hancock question.
The labour, lib dem and ScotNat members of the panel all agreed he should resign immediately.
Sir Somebody Tory said that he should stay as he was full concentrating while 'on the job'

The audience collapsed into hysteria. Sir Hobnob took ages to catch on.

TWELVE COMMANDMENTS FOR SENIORS

#1 - Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice.
#2 - “In Style” are the clothes that still fit.
#3 - You don't need anger management. You need people to stop irritating you.
#4 - Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work.
#5 - The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it.”
#6 - “On time” is when you get there.
#7 - Even duct tape can't fix stupid, but it sure does muffle the sound.
#8 - It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes
smaller?
#9 - Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.
#10 - Growing old should have taken longer.
#11 - Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn't shut you up.
#12 - You still haven't learned to act your age and hope you never will.
. . . And one more:

“One for the road” means having a pee before you leave the house

I've been like that since I was 15

I suppose ever since we were kids it's always been " better go to the toilet before we go".

A tour of the country's Cathedrals in another thread being described as ' not set in stone'.
That did make me larf that did.

This video title that YouTube prompted me with

I thought the GCN team had pretty much emptied the inane subject matter bucket, but no. Certainly gets my vote for the Golden L-Shaped Crank Award.
