ÂThat's because your public services are adapted to the snow, which they have to be because it snows for 2/3rds of the year. In places where it only snows a couple of days a year the local authority will not spend the money on skis or chains or whatever it is you do to adapt the snow. It's cheaper if people just work from home.
You can brag about being adapted to your local weather if you like, but it's not much of a brag.
Around here we don't use skis or chains. (Chains tear up the roads, and skis are just ridiculous.) There's something called a "snowplow" to just push the snow off of the road. And if you don't have machines dedicated to plowing, you can actually attach a plow to the front of a pickup if you want. Or a garbage truck, or an end loader, or whatever equipment your municipality happens to have. Then you just recognize that if there's snow on the roads it's a bad idea to drive 70.
The way I see it: if the one support person can get in to work - from the next town over - then why can't everyone else also get in to work? Either the roads are impassible or they are not.Â

Which snow??
It feels like autumn here with the storm here and too high temperatures which are not even close to winter... -

Naast dat je 24/7 de livestreams kunt bekijken mag je ook meebeslissen
welke kandidaten daadwerkelijk inwoner mogen worden van Utopia.Â
Ben jij een echte Utopiaan? Al je acties op de Utopia website leveren
jou punten op. Bijvoorbeeld het delen van berichten, chatten tijdens de
livestream en het stemmen op kandidaten. Elke vier weken maken de meest
actieve Utopianen van die periode kans om onderdeel te worden van de
Utopia elite. Deze 1000 Elite Utopianen hebben 4 weken lang extra
privileges, zo mogen zij bijvoorbeeld aangeven wie van de inwoners zij
op de nominatielijst willen zetten.ÂThe Dutch are taking over.. muhahahaaha

RE: Out of Memory, kill the process or sacrifice your firstborn!
@martijntje said:
That's because of over-committing memory. Basically, the system pretends to have more memory than it actually has so that when a process asks for X bytes of memory it usually gets it.
This works reasonably well since programmers are lazy and usually request much more memory than they actually need. However when programs actually start to use all that memory the system is screwed, because there is no way it can provide the necessary memory. It will then start killing processes to fix this problem.
Sounds like a bank to me.. People have a certain amount of money in their account and they usually get that when they ask for it.. Unless of course everyone want their money at the same time, since the banks haven't enough money to fullfill all their obligations.. Then they will start to kill themselves :-)

RE: IE fuckup
@The_Assimilator said:
So tell them to upgrade their fucking browsers. If they're stuck on XP they can at least go to IE8, which isn't perfect but is miles better than IE6. If they're stuck on pre-XP Windows... run for the hills, boy.
If they "can't" (won't) update IE, they're probably a rinky-dink organisation without a proper (competent) IT department, in which case you'll end up doing their tech support for them. In other words, they're a client you don't want.
Seriously I'm sick of seeing posts about IE6. It's an organisational problem, not a developer problem. The onus must be on organisations to fix this problem.
Well unfortunately, it looks fucked up on IE 8 as well.. and yes they are stuck on XP boxes.
So then I am stuck to define another IE specific stylesheet and fiddle around with it until it looks like (more or less) how it should be..... I want weekend........ :(

IE fuckup
[rant]
Why is it always that after hours of designing and tweaking of a website, it looks decent in Firefox/Chrome but when you load it in IE that it is completely fucked up.
And of course IE 6+ has to be supported since that is what is running on the clients machine..
Me wants to cry :'(
