To tell the truth, I think the most recent advances in research into motivation are well-known. But they're only implemented haphazardly, which basically is a question of HR departments not picking up the glove in this area.
Intrinsic motivation, the most powerful sort of motivation, can be fostered through interviewing employees and making sure their personal targets match the organization. But that's a lot of work and you can't make everyone happy, just aggregate the data and work on a high level.
Course coordinator Lee Sheldon says students are responding with 'far greater enthusiasm,'
It's a documented fact that any change brings about a temporary boost in motivation. One should be careful with making generic assumptions based on this change.
Let me make an analogy we all understand. When you meet a girl and she wears these big unsexy undies, you don't really care because she'll look great to you anyway. When she becomes your wife, you'll suggest sexy, minimalistic underwear. And sooner or later, even that won't help.
True story. My now retired dad had his own company, with about 120 employees. One night he was working late and when closing off, he found the head of the tech design department screwing the cleaning lady. My dad told him the conversation went like this:
Cleaning lady: *moan* Manager: "Oh yeah!" Dad: *opens door* Dad: "Oh hi there!" Manager: "Get lost, Paul!!" Dad: *laughs* "Don't forget the lights when you're done!"
I don't care about self-cleaning materials. I want a frictionless toilet.
Kinda funny, but when reading The Mote in God's Eye, this idea was put forth by the science fiction writer after aliens altered and improved human technology. Loved it.
Actually, I don't care either way (pre-terminated or self-crimped cables). I just hate it when people shift responsibility, as one of his responsibilities was testing.
But then again, as you noted, I could have found in the article that there were other factors such as bad RJ45 jacks. Thanks for pointing that out.
Author should have said "testing should NOT be avoided".
I hate it when people say such things. A cable tester costs $15 and you neglected testing. Don't say "crimping your own RJ45 should be avoided". That's blaming someone else for your idiocy.
Unfold it? Just be sure not to wipe your ass with it.
It would be kinda funny. Suppose they print the key on rolls of paper, with a particular form factor that makes it easy to feed into a special purpose scanner.
As a side effect, it looks just like toilet paper. So, the janitor comes in, and places the RSA key throughout the building in all toilets.
Imagine the sysadmins standing at the sewer output, dragging through the Sh1t to put the RSA key together:D
In my experience, the single most annoying thing in 7 is when you have more than one instance of the same application open, and they all combine in a single icon on taskbar, so now it looks like you need two clicks to get there from another app
I find this a very interesting problem. The problem is: my screen isn't big enough to hold all the apps I usually have opened. To be honest, this problem is not what everybody has. My dad just has one browser window open. And maybe one Word document, but that's it.
For people who do have this problem, Apple OS X and Linux have virtual desktops. Windows has things like the above, which really just end up costing the user more time.
In the end, you really need to buy a bigger monitor. But then again, Windows users are trained to maximize their windows so that may not help them.
Iron is basically a scam by some guy who bashes Google to drive more traffic to his Google Ads. Don't encourage an asshole by using his browser.

The guy behind the Slashdot account Goaway is a murderer, and he has raped animals on multiple occasions, just to drive people to his animal porn site. Don't encourage this piece of shit by replying to his posts.

It's not just when maximized. The general Chrome interface is very compact, having the menu bar done away with. When using Firefox, I install the Classic Compact extension, which is an improvement. But designwise, it doesn't look as polished as the default Chrome or Firefox theme.
The main reason I use Chrome is because of the excellent interface. When maximized, the tabs push right against the screen edge. I've not seen any app that makes such efficient usage of screen real estate. I've tried to configure FireFox, using TinyMenu to reduce the amount of white space. But it's still not as efficient.

To opt-out you need to follow the websites instructions which tell you where to stop the renewal.
No. To opt out, you need to call your creditcard company and tell them to reverse ALL payments.

Yes I always appreciated the bully saying "Give me your lunch money, nerd"
They're both bullies. Don't let your judgement be clouded by Jonathan's nerdy ponytail.
Like it or not, web apps -- even the most powerful of them -- still suffer from one basic sticking point: They're limited by the browser.
I agree with you, but I think this only stops a minority of users.
There's no such thing as "borderline-illegal". That's just stupid shit people say when they don't like something someone else is doing.
Sometimes, yes. Other times, please realize there are shades of grey.
Great idea! Great link too, didn't know the goo on my keyboard was called biofilm :-)
So much for the self-cleaning materials idea.

I'm about to buy me a double barreled sawed off shotgun and show Linus what I think about backspace and delete not working.
Remember, it was an advertiser that dreamed up the offensive popups
Then it was a website owner that implemented the idea.
Oh shut your yappin'. There is only one coffee: Duncan Hills Coffee.
Non SOe software which is not authorised (and alternate browsers are not authorised) are heavily and actively policed.
I wouldn't feel accepted as a professional in such an environment.

If everybody followed your advice, it would be basically impossible for the police to ever investigate anything.
Excuse me, but this is slashdot. The fallacy in your argument was noticed immediately, and ninjas have been dispatched to deal with the problem.
Google. I either know the domain by heart, or I just google it.
Great tip, thanks.

So nearly anyone can make porn
I'm married, you insensitive clod!
They haven't even implemented simple things such as a bookmark manager or extensions on a Mac yet. It has a looong way to go.
Extensions work on the Mac beta version. I don't use bookmarks, so can't comment on that.

I've not seen any app that makes such efficient usage of screen real estate. I've tried to configure FireFox, using TinyMenu to reduce the amount of white space. But it's still not as efficient.
