Order more than half measures
To The Stack, where after hours you’re still disputing whether or not the pint glass is half full or half empty – or just twice the size it should be.
Julian Cole points out that: ‘One should source at least double the initial estimated storage required when purchasing a new system. Those who source potation-oriented hardware that initially run at only 50 per cent capacity should be regarded neither as optimists, nor as pessimists, but as forward-looking go-getters with management potential and market savvy.’
Meanwhile Ken Appleby at TMW Consultants reports that: ‘After many years of practical testing, we can confirm that in this part of the IT world, a pint exists in only two states: it is either FULL or EMPTY. So please no more namby-pamby nonsense about some entirely theoretical mid-point. Please bring money to fund further testing.’
The last word this week goes to John Loader: ‘My wife has a better answer – half a glass of gin, half of tonic.’
