As if it made any difference, when my stupid computer knowledge becomes obsolete new stupid computer knowledge will replace it :roll:

Ugh. Another 15 year bug, this time on glibc. Whoopee, patch time again....

True story. The Army change of duty station website actually has to have your monitor screen resolution set to something like 800 x 600 to work correctly. And nowhere on the site do they mention this. They wait until you call the help desk to complain about how the program locks up your computer for the 6th time in a row. And it wouldn't be so bad but this is the site the army uses to manage over 100,000 household goods movements annually. :shock:
