I don't like being picky. I just have standards, unlike 99.9% of the world. :(

Syntax highlighting would be nice at times, if it was integrated into the IDE I use. Not enough of a benefit to use a separate app for it though.
(And I will get it added to the IDE I use, one of these days.)

Thank you :-), I do try to endeavour to make mostly insecure things slightly more secure than they were before I got there.

 

The easiest way I found is to break the fingers of all the users, they don't do it again for at least a couple of months.
That and the hospital bills are usually less than the cost of the equipment :-P

I know you have standards, very commendable they are too.

 

Oh I always thought you enjoyed correcting people (no John) if you don't thats very sad, life must be intolerable|frustrating|irritating for you.

I haven't actually watched an episode of it for a long time, and can't remember what Leslie is like. Can you describe her so I know what you think you're not?

What's to be offended about? The man's a genius with excellent taste in pizza toppings. It's not like she's comparing you to Richard Stallman.

 

Hello Marie, it's been a while. We'll end up with Dave Bradley back on here if we're not careful.

Is/was BBT funny though? And not in a toe-curlingly embarrassing way like Friends?

Actually, I found Friends too embarrassing to be funny. But I accept that I may be in the minority on that.

What was embarrassing about Friends? Did it remind you too much of your own twentysomething exploits in a New York apartment you could somehow afford to live in despite working in areas of employment which would, in the real world, not pay you enough to live on?

 

To put it in terms you'll understand, BBT is funnier than Terry and June but not as good as The Two Ronnies.
