Is this a troll? That's dual lock-tape not hook-and-loop. There is no other side they lock together.

Thats not velcro you nonce, its 3M DualLock. Its superior to velcro in almost every aspect, save cost. > The strong, interlocking mushroom-shaped heads close with a snap to ensure a secure attachment and help to reduce concerns about material damage and deformation, fastener placement, contamination and corrosion, and the challenges of joining dissimilar materials. From ceiling attachments on buses and trains, and light panels for trade show exhibits, to interior attachments for vehicles, 3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners are versatile, allowing for greater freedom of design with the ease of tape application.
Its literally designed to be symmetrical

>OP's fw reading those posts. Who is the dumbass now!?!
Its not its Velcro. Dual lock tape works I like it. This shit is Velcro. It does not lock with a snap. I know cus I picked up shitty 3m Velcro and had same design for to attach part.

It must cheer you up a lot to find someone who makes you look intelligent.

Hey my mother did the same thing and now has no front ports. I need to get her a new case anyways, something smaller because her office picks up a lot of clutter.

I have some in my room I'm using to hang photos. You can buy it under the Command brand, but they label it as dual-sided Velcro or something. I don't remember exactly what was on the package.

It turned out the user had a software-defined UK English keyboard layout, which has a different second layer for the special characters. I sure felt dumb after learning that. Luckily I closed that ticket OK and I haven't had any majorly embarrassing issues again so far (knock on wood.)

It's dual-lock tape. My grandfather is on the patent for it through 3M and most of my life (read: trust fund) is due to it as well as the adhesive that it uses on its backing.
You're a fucking idiot.

Can I get the name of the business so that I can call them and provide my MSP's contact information? They're clearly in need of someone that actually knows what they are doing.
You should be fired immediately.

I work for a finance company, dealing mostly with loans. We allow customers to adjust the schedule for their loans if they're struggling to pay them; we call it a payment plan. When we add a payment plan, we record the new payment schedule in a database table, then write a human readable note on the loan. Something like "payment plan added, new schedule is blah blah blah"
My company employs a lot of "data scientists". These are basically SQL monkeys that run reports that people ask for. I really mean it when I call them monkeys here.
Anyways, these data analysts needed to run some reports every day to find loans that have payment plans. You can imagine this is very simple. Something like "select * from loans inner join paymentplans". Nope. Our data analysts wrote a complex, 300 line query that parses the text on the notes of the loan. They had actually written this query a long time ago, and many of our employees were relying on this query to do their jobs. This query had been run every day for years. No one ever stopped to question it until an engineer actually saw it. We had a pretty good laugh, I wonder what other shit they've written.

heh.
someone came to me once looking a bit nervous and said "I think someone sent me a virus."
i checked it out. it was a microsoft word document sent as an email file attachment. the virus was written in word basic. with comments. and the name of the guy in india who wrote it. i looked him up but he didn't reply to emails, which is a shame because he made a mistake in the variable initialization stage that meant his virus wouldn't work, and i thought he should know.

Imagine being so retarded that you can work dual lock tape.

You don't need to "correct" someone when they are using common and unambiguous terms. Some things have got multiple names due to regional and historical circumstances, it doesn't make them wrong. Thinking that the name you use is the only correct one is fairly autistic, shoving your worthless opinion in other people's faces is even worse.
