15 million lines of code was the story, a lot of generated by XML but the code base was massive, .NET front end, java middeware and mainframe back end.

That's an operating system's worth.

NT 4.0 11-12 million lines, OpenSolaris 9.7, FreeBSD 8.8

Friday afternoon was a free for all, the place would hit the piano bar in the Gyle and people would be staggering back into the office at 5.

Technical then

Do tell!

Does it involve sticky keyboards and furtive fumblings in the stacks. menage a trois and unwanted pregnancies.
Or is this thread going to have to be moved to Technical

Internet banking is a bread and butter finance app, maybe 30 pages of display information which most of the time comes from web services to back end mainframes and maybe about 10 update pages. It should be hard to mess up.

In saying that I worked at IF for a short time and it was like going in to a mental ward where they had a pet computer project to keep the loons from self harming.

The stories I could tell yee about that place.

I bank with NatW now

No Problems. Reliable and easy to use online banking system

Seriously

Most of the bank work on the assumption you use IE because they're stuck with using some old version of IE because of a reliance on IE plugins

Try it with IE before you go postal on them

IE doesn't run on a Mac.

Well it did 10 years ago but you'd need an old Mac to run it

[Sysman]

I'm a Mac user - I think I'll just go straight to postal...

Please keep us updated.

Why would anyone want to use Safari?

• Becauise my bank supports it and it works
• The one time I tried online banking with Firefox I couldn't get in
• I have a Mac
• I ain't going anywhere near online banking from a Windows machine when I have other systems at my disposal

Not through choice, I try to reconcile my accounts at the end of every week, but this debacle has put me off it for weeks.

I was determined not to let it beat me as usual.

I need a drink.

I finally got into my account using the mobile website.

What utter, utter garbage...

That took at least 3 hours. Good stamina.

FWIW I bank with Barclays and use Safari and have never had a problem with it in normal use, only when the site has gone tits up anyway. I suspect it's something more fundamental than browser incompatibility issues.
