I totally expect a Windows toy I haven't turned on in a year take four hours to install the complete suite of updates released in the interim.

I should know better by now, but I still never expect a Windows toy I haven't turned on in a year take four hours to install a single update. Not the suite. Just one.

Inspired by recent posts by @cstross I'm sure someone has made a corporate looking logo for the Torment Nexus before me but I couldn't find it, so here's my take.

Obviously there's inspiration from Weyland-Yutani with some tech company blue and friendly rounded corners.

The motto is widely attributed to Nicola Tesla. It's probably apocryphal but I think that's even more appropriate.

The progress bar GUI widget was created so that a program could show its progress to users in a nice, linear, and moderately predictable way.

But now the progress bar is used primarily to show a complete lack of progress, moving back and forth in the progress tray like the light on a Cylon's face, as reassurance to the user that, no, the program hasn't frozen, only that the company behind it couldn't care less about its users.

Who remembers positioning the cursor in System 7 so that it showed 1 pixel between it and the progress bar, so you could tell if it had progressed?

Who remembers trying this in Mac OS 8+ and being frustrated that the beautiful gradient made it harder to tell if there was progress? 😄

@nico @mcc I relied on pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/ for availability.

That noted, "${file%/*}" is both faster and more elegant. I like it. (It does fail silently and probably bad if a pathname ends with a slash, though.)
