Doesn't have to go to Bobland to be crud, you just need a bunch of arrogant money obsessed Vendors to sell it.

Oh you mean the stuff produced by International B*stard Machines.

Yep, there have been no regional newspapers in the Netherlands today because the publisher's IT system is fooked. A couple of years ago they sacked their whole IT department and outsourced to a big local company, who in turn outsourced to some crazy combination of Bobland and Elbonia. They've obviously saved a lot of money there. They still don't know if they can get the papers out tomorrow, and if the weekend edition is lost then it costs serious money. By the way, regional newspapers are much more important in NL than in the UK; most people get a regional delivered every day and pay for it, and advertisers pay serious money, so that's a lot of turnover down the drain. At least 10 million euros and counting.

Ouch!

Thank you to the t0sser who posted the picture of the bog full of poo - I now can't get that image out of my head.

I would thank you personally, but I didn't see who the poster was when I scrolled past it and I ain't going back for a look-see!

What this one? I thought it was Mexican food.

A once rock solid product I worked with for more than 15 years now comes with patches and other software whose installations have plainly never been tested.

I's what happens wen the knowledgeable and experienced people get shown the door and their jobs shipped to Bobland.

That's what you get for choosing OS/2 2.11 and OS/2 warp as your OS

[TestMangler]

I've tried installing on 2 different OS, 2 different databases, 4 different patchlevels and not one ******* supported ******* combination ******* runs the installer to completion. Pile of ******* tulipting tulip. Bear in mind I've been working with this product for around 15 years. I have never seen anything as tulip as this. They should be ashamed to sell it. I'm ashamed to work with it. What a stinking pile of stinking tulip.

[Doggy Styles]

Take your time. There's no money in perfect bug-free software. How would you sell the support and upgrades!?

By not fixing it for 15 years.

Isn't that right Doodab?

[Mich the Tester]

That's my plan B you're insulting there. I've just got to fix one last bug.

This one?
