    bleh ... typo

  2. I work at Nielsen ... it doesn't work. on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 5, Informative

    Through domain policy, they were able to disable the button in Windows XP but when folks switched to Windows 7 it was back again. Plus, it doesn't affect Mac or Linus users. Regardless, most people just learned to use the keyboard shortcut instead of clicking the button and it's as easy to Reply-All as ever. Mostly we still get the same amount of spam as usual and whomever got paid to come up with that suggestion should be let go. What a complete waste of a paycheck.

  3. Always Say Yes on How To Behave At a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Priorities tend to change frequently, so when you are asked whether you can do something, just say yes. It doesn't matter if you think it might be hard or nigh impossible, just say yes. It usually turns out that you can, in fact, accomplish said task or that the requirements mutate into a form that makes life easier. In rare cases where something ends up being overly difficult, it's easier to appologize later. Again, priorities will have changed and most likely what you're working on isn't the thing the boss cares about.
