I've had a few bosses that would just bark orders and expect instant compliance which works for a bit but kicks moral in the teeth. The best always explained how important the call logging is not only for higher management but for intercommunication between the department the team. This should work both ways though, if the workers have genuine gripes like the calls are all the same so not worth logging you may want to look into certain templates rather then waste time. Respect is only earned when you fight for your teams views just as much as ones from middle management.
I don't think they is any shortage of them right now. Due to the xmas season this could not have come at a worse time, I'm already seeing viral emails being passed at a stupid rate.
I'm still waiting for parcel force to deliver my wii, I have been waiting to try out the controller on the pc but all I have is the nunchuk controller they delivered.
Nice of them to deliver the part of the Wii I can not use.
I did have a friend who was worried he was being bugged by his mobile, it seems to made a buzzing noise from the speaker, I checked mine and it appears to do the same thing so probably nothing to worry about.
I'm far too boring to be bugged anyway.;)
Anyone else have a razor that buzzes all the time?

Anything where you don't understand how it works is magic.
How about... Norton internet security and Mcafee will cause them more problems then they fix. Windows XP firewall and a free virus checker like AVG will save them a lot of grief. A good spyware program (how I wish pack.google.com did not include norton) like ad-aware or spybot and how to use it, anyone offering you a million pounds over email are scammers. Stop using the web for free porn and crack sites (mostly if using ie) firefox and thunderbird replace the normal xp offerings well. You don't need a computer that is all singing and dancing just to use word and msn, or just buy a mac. Buying a centrino laptop doesn't give you magic access to the internet (legally), stop plugging in usb stuff without the drivers first; erm, and the cdrom is not a damn cup holder! use linux, openoffice ect...
That no one is visiting the moon anytime soon; well hopefully China. The amount of meteors that must be around could probable find ones like that rock with worms in it. Would settle the score about earth contamination at least.
"In ancient Greece, text was written on wax covered tablets. In one story Demeratus wanted to notify Sparta that Xerxes intended to invade Greece. To avoid capture, he scraped the wax off of the tablets and wrote a message on the underlying wood. He then covered the tablets with wax again. The tablets appeared to be blank and unused so they passed inspection by sentries without question."

Oh great, I'm trying to read the rest of the comments but all I can hear is Shatner in my head.
I need, to take, a break.

Nothing even comes close to Metal gear solid 1 and 2, talk about an immersive film!
I remember buying a ps2 just for the MGS2 demo.

Why do we find this video amusing for example?

If some how the video went back in time a few hundred years (and you took the laughter away) what would the people think he was doing?
this should be interesting.. the day pass sponser threatens google on slashdot.
This was patched over a week ago, http://www.incidents.org/diary.php?date=2006-01-31 (bottom).h tml

What happened with the usa requesting that they can jam the sat network when needed?
Did they get this denied or incorporated in this network?
I thought they discovered that the bee creates a vortex above it's wing tips that suck the bee up causing lift.
;)
Or am I way off with this? remember seeing it on discovery
ok put me down for 2 weeks, at least until it makes headlines on slashdot.
I was told I would require glasses if I read for an extended period as I'm slightly long sighted.
:)
Until I came across this eyeq program (for speed reading) which has stopped my vision blurring completely; and near doubled my reading speed.
Worth a look at the free flash demo; product is a bit expensive though.
