  4. THat depends. on Why Users Hate IT Products and Developers · · Score: 1

    Are they using wp 5.1, or word 97? Both of these products work better and quicekr than currnt MSoffice bloatware products, and would probably be just as fast on a 486. We have one 98 machine still running office 97, and they can take it from our cold dead fingers. It runs better and quicker than office xp.

    I know a girl in college who couldnt NOT yawn when she saw someone else do it. A couple of frineds of mine started yawing in front of her for about two hours. She kept yelling at us to stop. Kind of cruel, but she started by yelling at us when we just happened to yawn naturually.

  12. Reason is, as i understand it: on Battlefield Medkits Improve · · Score: 1

    If you kill 50,000 enemy soilders, the country suffers, licks its wounds and gets going again.
    If you blind/cripple 50,000 soilders, they need to provide care to theose prople for the rest of their lives and it will probaly cripple the whole country for a couple of generations. Look at what were facing with social security and the boomer bubble. Picture that goin on, along with supporting all the casualtys from WW2 for the last 50 years if they had been blinded instead of killed.

  22. Frankly, i dont care anymore. on Hilary Rosen Will Step Down As RIAA Head · · Score: 1

    I stopped bying their cds 5 years ago, and my downloading has slowed to a trickle, and is mostly replacing older stuff, and live variations on stuff i own. There has been maybe 1-2 songs in the past year i have felt like downloading. I am still buying local bands stuff, however, usually with a 5 buck tip on top of it. I dont mind paying 15 bucks to someone selling me a cd for 10. I figure i bought some poor band memeber a cheeseburger for a 5 buck tip.

  23. Ummm, yeah on Hilary Rosen Will Step Down As RIAA Head · · Score: 1

  25. Cahnging help desk results: on Improving Your Help Desk? · · Score: 4, Funny

    1: First off, pay the bare minimum. You dont want to pay much for help, your it infrastructure isnt that important anyway.
    2: Dont offer any raises or decent incentives to retain employees, you can hire new ones cheaper anyway.
    3: Never offer any training, theyll just take that and go somewhere else.
    4: Always hire from outside for advanced positions, hiring from the current employee pool isnt as cool as getting a new outside consultant in.
    5: Micro manage, micro manage, micro manage: I cant stress enough, how making sure that employees account for every minute of their time is more impostant then getting the job done, or customer satisfaction. REmember, keeping the remedy stats up is far more important than satisfied customers.
    6:Certs ae more important than experience.
    7:Hire only the youngest people possible, anyone over 35 cant possibly understand this computer nonsense.
    8:You want 1 manager per 2 employees. See the micromanaging bit.
    9: Oh, and make sure you never allow the techs to do anything besides slap a hasty patch on someone elses mess, they can just fix it again in 2 days.
    10: MsOffice XP

    Oh, wait, you wanted to improve the helpdesk. REverse that, then.
