Why do people think anyone believes this horse shit?

An article in my local newspaper today said the best computer in the University of Kentucky in 1977 was still using punch cards and paper readouts.

No, it most definitely fucking did not. I can't tell you exactly what they would have had but it definitely had at least a monitor. The damned Apple II and Commodore PET were out back then. A big university would have something far more bad-ass.

Anybody else sick of people saying these kinds of anachronisms or historical revisions to make it seem like technology used to suck more than it did?

This one developer a few months ago made a genius program to allow iMessage to run on Android devices, using a Mac's public IP, and a few other things. The catch is, you'll need to have your Mac/Macbook on & running 24/7 for it to work. If you turn off the Mac, the app will cease to work.

Here's the project link, its still a very early Alpha: https://github.com/bboyairwreck/PieMessage

Does anyone think its possible to buy/host a server to use to connect this app to?

I've been having trouble finding a job and I've turned my search to IT, and most everything requires CompTIA A+ certification. When I was at a tech school a few years ago (around 2011-2012), I decided not to go for the certification because I didn't have the money then. I've still got my books from then so I can study that, but what all should I study that's new if I want to get certified? Does anyone know of any good resources if you're only going after an A+ certification?

Does anyone know which bit controls the dynamic/basic setting for a VHD, or is there anyone on Vista that can create and upload one that's set to dynamic?

I've just acquired an i5 2500k and an Asus P8H61 with a low-tier cooler for £95 together. What do you guys think about that price?

I'm aware that the motherboard isn't able to overclock. I'll be purchasing a better motherboard and cooler when finances permit.

I'll be carrying over my other parts from my old Pentium G3258 build.

For all the corporate IT people, today I scored a victory for us

>I work in a c# team as a developer
>HR asks for a developer to help with minor changes
>sadly I was selected
>HR is the Wild Wild West full of women and tech incompetents
>they originally ask for production fires to be fixed and I succeed
>slowly the person begins to act as if she's my manager and starts demanding more of my time
>slowly starts to demand extra hours
>devilishPepe.jpg
>explain to my c# manager that HR is not adhering to the ridiculous bureaucratic rules
>explain that all requests should go through him with all the proper paperwork
>the paperwork is so tedious and long HR would decide it's not worth asking for my help anymore
>manager agrees they will feel the wrath of ITIL, I mean, "adhere to ITIL standards as is company policy"

I took what was a tight knit team of HR cat ladies and had endless bureaucracy imposed on them simply to avoid doing their work

A few days ago I was looking tablets and for some reason apple ipad was always put as best choice. My question is: why?.
No, I'm not making this thread to trash apple. I'm pretty sure there are already 2 or 3 threads about that on the catalog. I ask because I feel in need of a second opinion. what do you use ipad or other mobile apple product for?. I personally have always found anoying the way apple makes mobile
>No SD card
>No file manager
>*Can only install apps from the official app store (if those are available in your country and not +18 content)
>Great hardware quality tho, but that's the only pro I can think of
What do they have that a windows or android tablet dont, or what is the reason of why is always chosen as best choice for people dedicated at tech reviews?

How to track last online status on whatsapp for someone who has this option invisible?

I went to work abroad to earn for our first home without taking 40 years credit. My wife stayed in a country. We never used whatsapp but we both have the app installed. However my best friend who is supposed to help with some stuff while I am absent was always using the app a lot. I recently "caught" by accident my wife online hour after she "went to sleep". She also started "going to sleep" pretty early recently. I need to find if my best friend is cucking me or it was just a random situation. However my wife turned off the option "last seen". I can see her status only whe she is online, and I am working and don't have a time to be in a whatsapp all night. If I can see her online the tracking app would be nothing sophisticated. Is there such app?
