I work for a German software company as a software developer (duh..) in my local city, only 10 miles from my house :)

Maybe you've heard of them (InVision Software).

Really sweet job actually, been doing it now for 10 months, and yes its busy and tough at times, and I'm still learning it, but I'm getting on the best.

Best thing is they are global, with sales offices all over Europe and now in the States.

With trips to Germany 3 times a year, it really is a sweet gig :D

I done that with the air training corps (ATC), except I did a loop a barrelroll and a few stall turns

I did the barrel roll as well but i was grinnig to much after the loop, the instructor did the other manovers (we were working on site and went out for a drink with the insructor in liverpool the night before and he offered to take us flying) so for a freebie it was a goood laugh. You didn't do the flying with the ATC at woodvale (near liverpool) as well did you?

Rutgers (my university) Telefund.

Basically, it's a telemarketting job. You call alumni/parents/companies and ask for donations. Lol, oh well. I hate telemarketters.. how ironic.

It pays well and it's only 3.5 hours a day. $10 per hour plus bonuses. So, it's a perfect student job.

Cool, I would love to have a flight in a Jaguar! When I went to RAF Marham I actually sat in a Tornado when it was in its hanger (it might not sound that good but when you are actually sitting in it when its in a hangar you can feel its power - its quite cramped as well :))

Yeah but when you walk out the in the hanger or on the flight line, Somthing like the tornado or jaguar, you just cant help but get a bit of the top gun feeling (the old music) :D :D and yes the jaguar is just as cramped as the tornado, at 6' 1" my knees were in danger :D

    • Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets useful new File Explorer features in the latest build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are finally here. After skipping one week, Microsoft is back to releasing preview builds for Windows Insiders to try. This time, Insiders in the Experimental Channel can download build 26300.8687. Its changelog does not contain anything major, but there is still useful new stuff, such as some new conveniences for File Explorer, Windows Update improvements, better Windows Search, a new search provider for the built-in GIF library, and more. Here is the changelog: [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announcement blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [File Explorer] Middle-click to open a folder in a new tab is now supported in the Address Bar and the Home page for a more consistent and efficient tabbed navigation experience across File Explorer. Improved screen reader announcements for conflict resolution dialog ("Which files do you want to keep?") when moving/copying files. Made some more improvements to how File Explorer responds to increased text scaling. [Search] Finding apps is more forgiving. Search is better at handling typos, dropped letters, extra letters, and partial words for apps. Queries like “utlook” can still find Outlook. Settings results are improving. We’ve made ranking improvements to help more relevant settings appear higher in results. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. Fixed an issue where tooltips might unexpectedly appear on top of the Start menu icon in the taskbar when using the taskbar in an alternate position. Also fixed a few other visual polish issues when using the taskbar with small icons. [Windows setup] The digital safety of users and supporting families is central to how we think about the Windows experience. We're improving information on parental controls and their availability during Windows setup, so families can more easily understand available protections and make informed choices from the very beginning. [Input] Update: The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of Tenor. Fixed an issue that was causing the mouse cursor to potentially move in the wrong direction in recent Insider builds on secondary monitors when set to portrait mode. [Remote Recovery Management] Adding a recovery remote management plug-in for extending WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers [Audio] Fixed an issue resulting in audio not working for some Insiders after the latest flights. [Settings] Fixed an issue impacting the reliability of Settings > Apps > Installed Apps after the latest flights. [General Reliability] If you were experiencing freezes in the previous flight when interacting with search, Notepad, or certain other scenarios, that should be resolved now. [Other] When using dark mode, if you open "Run new task" from Task Manager, it will now show in dark mode too. As usual, changes above are rolling out gradually. You can find the release notes here in the official documentation.

      It is such a shame. I used to really respect Neowin's articles.

      So.... slower fixes and slower security updates are preferred? I mean, there is no goldilocks zone here until it can literally update without ever needing a restart, and even then I'm sure someone would complain.
