I think this highlights the most important bit that is missing from most checklists... the why. Yes we have a list of things to do, and we know that if we don't do all those things then bad things can happen, but the most important thi

So how much does the "ugly" factor into your purchase decisions? for me functionality and ergonomics decide the purchase, if the device is "pretty" is very much down the list. I'm aways surprised by people who pur

In my experience you will get as many different reactions to your interactions as humans you interact with with a very wide range, some of which I would consider "not conscious" if not obviously coming from a living breathing huma

So much this.... Crappy so called security software that only makes things more secure by slowing down the computer. I get it we need to protect the network, but you don't do that by making sure that everybody is out looking for a way

I was running a 2.x server. it was a sad day that I had to reboot and break the 359 day uptime... Amazing system, solid as a rock as long as long as you stuck to file sharing and printer management.

What I’d like to know is how much energy is burnt by corporate mandated software running on workstations. My work computer regularly spends hours heating my room running god knows what scanning and inventory software when I’m not using it f

Why not just ask "what problem are you trying to solve?", or "What do you want it to do?"?.. Not only does this put the requirement back on the asker to describe what they want you to do, it removes your preconceptions

What is with the sledging of Home Schooling. Ok, in some cases it's because the parents are religious or over controlling nutcases, but in many cases home schooling is the final choice of parents whose kid is not able to learn in the t

I find talking to them is a great way for to gain their confidence. Let them see you and see that you are not threat. Treat them like a dog you want to gain the confidence of an you can't go too far wrong. Don't chase them, just

Isn't it just a matter of listening to the ambient noise in your environment. open space sounds different to a closed room. if there is any noise around you can normally tell if you are near a wall just because one ear is getting a c

I think this point is missed in the implementation of these systems. Give the people doing the work the responsibility for the work and the authority to chase down and "demand" answers they need to get the work done. If that can&#

Because as we all know, it is the job of all humans to slave away until they can no longer stand. I think as a society we can strive for better than "work till you die". There sees to be a lot of people out there who don't se
