Exception when accessing dictionary object

[Alan Silver]

: Oddly enough, the following day I was copying a file to the server when

: it suddenly rebooted itself. No idea why, but it did. When it came back
: up, the dictionary was working fine!! The machine had been rebooted the
: previous night after the aborted rebuild, so it wasn't that simple.

I was always fascinated by AI (Artificial Intelligence) but on-the-fly AI
might make scheduling downtime more difficult.

I have always been fascinated by the idea of AI, but having seen so
little NI (natural intelligence) around, I am dubious if AI will ever
happen!!

: I hate computers sometimes, they can be even more irrational and
: frustrating than children!!

Ooh, that's a close one. The age of both might make a difference.

Nah, children get more rational when they get over a certain age,
computers get steadily worse!!

: Anyway, we are going for another attempt this Weds, so we will see what
: happens.

Good luck.

Even more interesting than AI: artificial stupidity!

I can see that happening. Sounds like the Akron I was the prelude Tandy
TRS.

And today we just redefine what stupidity is. According to the Liberals I'm
a fricken genius, or I would be if I converted, otherwise my knuckles drag
the ground, which is absurd since I don't believe in Darwinism. The IRS
thinks I'm rich because I live above the poverty line which puts me into the
200% tax bracket which would explain the death tax. I still owe them.

That's brilliant!! Thanks for that.

That's brilliant!! Thanks for that.

That's a classic piece isn't it? I first saw in on Compuserve, longer ago
than I'm going to admit to being in this business. I was pleased to
see that google took me straight to that copy.

Not that it strictly pertains (though it is dev-related) is this humor
piece, dedicated to the art of writing unmaintainable code. It is an
absolute riot, in my book!

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.
Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.

I love these guys!


Enjoy,
