Isn't that a job requirement for that position?

This pilot fish is a former systems consultant in the banking industry, so he knows the "I hate computers" syndrome very well indeed -- as well as the experience of having to walk users through procedures that should be easy but never are.

"I have no idea what the guy on the other end said to her," says fish, "but I was very deeply impressed by a call center operator who was clearly both telepathic and omniscient."

Just had to use one of these marvels http://www.fastcompany.com/1313153/coca-colas-100-flavor-interactive-freestyle-soda-fountain-action-video that replaced a more standard soda jerk station.

Only one comment. ADA. There is no way for someone in a wheelchair to reach up to the computer touchscreen to make their drink selection! I can see the lawsuits now! Every fast food place that puts one in will have to hire a person to assist the disabled to use the thing. There goes the promised cost savings!!! (And this is progress.)

Bare with me, because you put that link in your post about the
UFO nut, I was able to find an article about that darn Microsuck 10
spam that they put on my computer. I have dealt with it, so I
I thought I would thank you for your work, even if you didn't
know that you had helped me.
Thank you Good Sir!

celttooth, You are very welcome.
It is amazing how sometimes something as odd as that leads to what you have been looking for... almost like the Six degrees of separation theory (and play based on it).

There is a way to fix that, so that the height could be customized to someones height, but more than a suggestion might be needed.

My idea: Make the screen able to be raised or lowered with a handle at the bottom or top of the screen, kind of like on some desk lamps, just sturdier...

Vic, I think they made it intentionally high so kids don't play with (damage) it. Remember it goes in fast food places, e.g. McD's and upchuck Cheese.

I've been trying to remember where it was we saw it (both Kris and I stopped at the place), possibly in Wichita, or maybe further south in Oklahoma. It was this same sort of multi Coke product dispenser, but rather than a stand alone machine it was a 3 wall panel setup with cups, lids, straws, etc on a small counter to the right, the center section was the dispenser where you filled the cup with ice/product, and on the left at about the same height as the other equipment was the recessed and slightly angled back touch screen to pick a flavor and fill your cup. Not sure if it would improve accessibility, but everything ended up being about waist high when standing in front of it. Don't know if that sort of setup is an option or some sort of home spun hybrid.

it's expensive though

Telling your wife porkies? Be careful then...

I saw on TV this story about a woman eating nothing but crisps.

Bizarre as it sounds, Debbie, 30, has eaten nothing but crisps for 10 years, and for the past two, beef flavour Monster Munch have been every meal.
Debbie takes crisps to ­restaurants. And when her boyfriend Gerald ­Whittington, 55, took Debbie and her son Luke, 10, for a holiday in Spain, he even had to pack a separate suitcase for her Monster Munch!

Damn, hypnotists to make one eat? Is there any out there that can cause weight gain? :-)

God help us if this report is true.

Just came across this - They're having a laugh aren't they?

BLI

"Lord Rees said: 'The search for extra-terrestrial life is the most exciting quest in 21st-century science.'"

Really mi'lord? You think so? S@H has been going for over 15 years & is 20th century science "taking us into the 21st century"!

Further proof that some really do live within their own little world.

S@H has been going for over 15 years & is 20th century science

BOINC was originally developed to manage the SETI@home project. The original SETI client was a non-BOINC software exclusively for SETI@home in 1999, as one of the first volunteer grid computing projects. The BOINC project started in February 2002 and the first version was released on April 10, 2002.

"Lord Rees said: 'The search for extra-terrestrial life is the most exciting quest in 21st-century science.'"

Yes it is.

hmmm, so why is the S@H start date 1999?
BTW, it's normally common decency to acknowledge a link - you're 20 minutes late :-)

Sirius, Are you sure you've got the right link? I see an article about an Alzheiners drug. As my father died of this terrible disease, I initially took offence at your comments.

It is Julie, but quality costs. But the cheeky buggers have beaten Lays Crisps!!! What is the world coming to?

Sacrilege :-)

Ritz beats Lays

Quality is much more superior over quantity, that's a God given fact.

"Sirius, Are you sure you've got the right link? I see an article about an Alzheiners drug. As my father died of this terrible disease, I initially took offence at your comments."

With all these "so-called" reforms happening in the world, I believe there is one important reform that should be initiated immediately & that is the Hippocratic oath.

I'm sorry if you took offence, however, political correctness has gone too far. It will not be long before Orwell's "Thought Police" actually comes true.

You're father was the only one that died of a serious illness on this planet? Let me tell you a story...

June 16th 1997, my mother had a serious operation which thankfully was successful. However, the surgeons botched the finish by not sewing her up correctly. 20 days later, she died.

That last week of her life was terrible for all concerned. By not sewing her up correctly, septicaemia set in & during that last week, she went 8 times, yet every time they brought her back. Why? The surgeon himself informed us that it had reached the brain. To see a human being suffer that...

...8 years later, my father had an accident - a very serious head injury. By the time the ambulance got there it was too late. It took them 31 minutes by which time the brain had been starved of oxygen for too long.

Later that evening, the doctor entering the waiting room where the family had gathered & asked us all a question: He had gone several times but again, brought back. Not one member of the family spoke to me (being the eldest & dad had made no will - not a problem as mum had covered practically everything in hers).

I asked the doctor if I was correct in saying that he had been without oxygen for too long & if he recovered sufficiently, he would be a vegetable - the reply was yes.

My answer which did not go down too well with other family members but at the same time were not prepared to look after their own father, was to let him go. At 74 he had done a good job of raising his family & being a very active man, would not have appreciated having his every need done for him. He passed away at 19:01 that evening.

There have been many reports of others suffering & wishing to have peace but find the law too strict.

We all die eventually, but the quote "No matter what one says, there is always someone that takes offence" is absolutely true.

Having a laugh & joke now & again helps one to stand tall. Instead of thinking of what I've posted (even though the memories of them will probably not fade away by the time I pass on), thinking of all the good times helps those jokes & laughs.

Answered in "it is time" thread.

Sirius, I don't read the politics thread, as I consider it outside the scope of these forums, and too contentious. Also I still think you may have the wrong link as it doesn't seem to tie up with your title or comments....
