If you're using Sharepoint and have problems like than, then you probably have something configured incorrectly.
Last time I brought up Sharepoint here I got a response that went something like "yeh, I'm at Microsoft and we have to use Sharepoint, and we'd much rather just use a big file share". So it's not just me that has to deal with "incorrectly configured" Sharepoints.:)
Any company has a large number of existing documents. To switch to a different file-incompatible program would be silly; the cost of converting would far exceed any possible savings, not to mention the IT cost of changing every user simultaneously.
Your existing office suite isn't going to magically stop working.
And the IT cost of changing every user simultaneously is one you pay every few years with Office *anyway*.
So for $30 you can put an energy-stealing pad in between your USB-powered charger and the wall plug, instead of just getting a $5.00 USB charging dongle.
Let me attach the tabs to the top of the pane (the part that actually changes when you select a different tab) instead of the window (no, the location bar doesn't change, its content does... but so does the title bar's and that's still above the tabs).
I, for one, was of the opinion that holding liable people who make copyrighted materials available is sensible.
Even if nobody takes advantage of the availability?
In many circumstances, they are, after all, just as party to causing damages to the copyright holder as the person/people who take advantage of the availability.
If someone DOES download them, it's the person who distributed them who IS liable. The "making available" theory isn't saying "the distributor is liable"... that's true regardless. The "making available" theory is "if someone MIGHT have been able to download them, then you're guilty of distributing them".
I don't know if Palm is even currently selling anything that runs the original PalmOS. They throw in the towel on operating systems so often you need a scorecard to tell whether garnet/ruby/cubic-zirconium/mudstone is or is not vaporware.
The original PalmOS running under AMX was about as solid as anything I've seen on 1980-era hardware (the original Palm was running on a bug-compatible 68000 implementation). When they started playing musical-operating-systems and running applications under what appeared to be a port of UAE (an open-source 68000 emulator they used as part of their devkit) on ARM things just went to hell. "Oh, that's just temporary until we do BeOS... uh, no, I mean Linux... oh hell, we'll license Windows CE... hey, seen our NEW Linux variant yet?"
So, no, they didn't have "10 years and 5 commercial releases to get it right". They've been suffering from corporate AD&D since Hawkins returned.
you should be resting the butt of your hand on them, not your wrist.
You shouldn't be resting any part of your hand on them. If you can't hold your hand level in the plane of the keyboard using your arm muscles, without straining them, you need to get more exercise. And no, you're not "still pumped from using the mouse".
If you're suffering from carpal tunnel [...]
No, I have ulnar nerve damage. There are many kinds of RSI, CTS is only one of them... and other forms of RSI are often misdiagnosed at CTS.
I'm not a huge fan of trackpoint either, but I have to say I would ALMOST rather have a two-button trackpoint to a one-button touchpad.:)
My favorite desktop keyboard is no longer made. It was an Adesso brand 85-key compact keyboard that managed to get all they keys I needed into a device maybe 30% larger than a "happy hacking" keyboard without that never-to-be-sufficiently-damned Fn key.
meaning you're basically not lifting your wrists and therefore completely cutting out the need for wrist rests.
Nobody needs wrist rests. Those things should be called "wrist wreckers".
You should NEVER rest your wrists on ANYTHING (a wrist rest, a tabletop, the forward part of your laptop, a folded newspaper or magazine, your bulging belly, or a dirty dishrag) while you are typing. If Apple keyboards are designed to be flat so you can use your tabletop as a "wrist rest", they're doubly damaging.
I have yet to see an actual ergonomic study that shows that Apple keyboards (or Vaio keyboards or this keyboard) is actually bad for you, in any way that any other keyboard is bad for you.
Studies? You can make studies say anything you want. I'm listening to the burning pain running from my elbow to my little finger, thanks.
It's not the layout, it's the construction, length of the keystroke, key pressure curve, shape of keys, stability of keytops, and so on.
I actually find Mac keyboards more comfortable to use, but not because of the hardware. OS X's use of the Command key rather than Ctrl for shortcuts [...]
That works just fine on this Microsoft keyboard I have plugged into my Mac.:)

You're actually depending on *Access* for business-critical data? o_O;;;
You know why they call the Access database engine "Jet" don't you?
Because it sucks and blows at the same time.
And it doesn't work very well. We're always playing musical chairs with documents whether they're on a sharepoint or file share.

Boy have YOU got the wrong fanboy.
I wouldn't be tempted even if Mark Shaney and Elizabeth Bimmler endorsed it.
No, no, you're supposed to say "GIFS or it didn't happen!"

This just doesn't make any kind of sense at all.
It's not just this trojan, the whole Elite Warez Network is leeching your porn.
Patches your flash player so that everything you look at on Youtube gets replaced by Mr. Astley's stellar performance.
OMG! They're leeching from The Elite Warez Network! YRLY!

Wonder why an insect eating mammal needs venom? Those must be some bad ass bugs he's hunting.
In Haiti? Voodoo zombie centipedes, at least.
And all this time I thought the platypus was the only venomous mammal. You learn something new every day.
Sorry, I was going to fix that typo but I got distracted.

Oh you're SUCH a cynic. :)
Given that ZFS has been optimized for flash, why bother with FAT?
Maybe Obama can consider a deadline for conversion to IPv6 instead?
That's something that actually matters. TV is something from the last millennium.
People will be up nights and weekends to get their converter boxes?
It's not the networks and stations that need extra time, they're ready already.
