Steve worked at a company where I used to work. He made all his developers work "all nighters" and weekend just because. He would leave at 5 everyday and would come by at 11:00 pm to check on everybody. Some of the developers were from out of town. One guy flew in from out of town for one week. Steve wouldn't let him go home for over a month and wouldn't let the guy even get a rent a car. He also filled the time cards for his coders and only marked down 8 hours for each day when in fact they were doing 18 hours. Hardly any work was getting done because the moral of everyone was so bad. All the code was total crap too. Steve was just on a power try and trying to look good for his management. Anyways....if you are in a bad situation like this you need to go over your bosses head and let people know what's going on or leave. It's not worth it. If you run into steve RUN!
has to be Corel. Everytime they put out a new version of Corel Draw you have to relearn where everything is. The worst is the preferences forms. They change the screens for settings every single version!!!
mainframe Linux is that most mainframes don't have USB ports or good drivers. This sux cause then I can't plug in my Canon Powershot digital camera and use the pictures to make christmas cards for my grandmother. Also, Printshop Deluxe doesn't run on my S/390. SUX
Too bad it's almost unusable now.

Personal email is getting so bad now with all the spam. Don't even think about using a free webmail service either. The only reason I have a hotmail account is so I can use Messenger. PLEASE STOP THE SPAM!
Having had the job of a claims inspector for UPS I can safely say that the majority of claims for computer are from improper packing. If you want to safely ship a computer take it to Mail Boxes Etc and have them pack it. They use a double box method that will safely protect your computer everytime. It's about $15 but it's worth it.
Slashdot Mirror
It's inhabited by meerkats. Just don't be caught on the floating blob after dark though.
Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" is an excellent book for web usability. Many of the principles in the book apply to good app design as well.

FUNNIEST POST EVAR! Thank you!

uh, we're dealing here with people who don't even know anyone from the opposite sex. "Kids" means a slashdotter has had a chance to procreate.

Spare us the Open Source crap. I don't want a bunch or unorganized spagetti code running the airports.
