is 'Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun' (No, honest). That being said, I have been through the tech-to-manager trial before, and whilst at the time I thought it was what I wanted, I realised that I made a lousy manager, and it took a while to convince my manager to let me get back to pure tech. The main thing is if you find that you don't actually like being a manager, or are just plain bad at it, you will not be doing your staff any favours by staying in the role.
I suggest that anyone who takes up Microsoft's offer of a patent license, henceforth be labeled a 'Stig', in honor of Stig O'Tracy from Monty Pythons 'Piranha Brothers' Sketch
Presenter Another man who had his head nailed to the floor was Stig O' Tracey.
Cut to another younger more cheerful man on sofa. Interviewer Stig, I've been told Dinsdale Piranha nailed your head to the floor. Stig No, no. Never, never. He was a smashing bloke. He used to give his mother flowers and that. He was like a brother to me. Interviewer But the police have film of Dinsdale actually nailing your head to the floor. Stig Oh yeah, well - he did that, yeah. Interviewer Why? Stig Well he had to, didn't he? I mean, be fair, there was nothing else he could do. I mean, I had transgressed the unwritten law. Interviewer What had you done? Stig Er... Well he never told me that. But he gave me his word that it was the case, and that's good enough for me with old Dinsy. I mean, he didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist. He wanted to let me off. There's nothing Dinsdale wouldn't do for you.
missed taking 'Reading for comprehension 101'? While you are technically correct, it is overkill for the GP poster's application where the simpler 'year mod 4 == 0' is adequate.
"Do not swallow batteries. In the event of swallowing batteries, call National Battery Ingestion Hotline on 800XXXXXX"
So not only are there people silly enough to think about swallowing batteries, there are people so stupid they actually do swallow batteries, even when warned not to. Not only that, there are enough of them to warrant having a 24 hour hotline.
Whenever I hear or read someone saying that the latest version of Windows is 'the most secure to date' I am reminded of the Groucho Marx line from 'Animal Crackers' - "Why, you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, and that's not saying much for you".
I have been meaning to use something like this to manage my finances for a while, but have never gotten around to it. How much time do you need to devote to set up and then maintain the information?

Hey, give me my point back!!
if they have the same gods as we do?
Also, the USA is quite happy to complain to the WTO whenever it thinks it's in its own interests to do so.
eg, vs Canada over timber, Mexico over rice, EU over gm food.

never happened to me so far. shooting too early gives someone else the chance to come in over the top. 15 seconds seems to be about right.
30 seconds is for suckers. 15 seconds.
