I've got a lot of years of management experience and through it all I've maintained that if I'm not providing opportunities for the folks who work for me to be prepared for their next job, I'm failing in my role. If they want to move into management, I'll work with them to get them into management courses. If staying in positions that provide more opportunities to be hands-on with the technology, I'll help them find courses they feel will help them up those skills (whichever ones they find most interesting).
I never understood the mindset of "If we train them, they'll go elsewhere." It generally takes more than just a single factor for a coworker to go to another job. Providing training isn't any of them.
I'm amazed ISPs don't have acceptable use language against using VPNs, under some BS guise of claiming they can negatively affect the network. Regardless, next up will be legislation saying that using a VPN robs ISPs of potential revenue and so are no longer legal. Oh, and the children. Somethingsomethingsomething VPN's and children.
I have a two-hour drive to drop the kids off at school and with the exception of during Friday's commute when what my six-year-old calls "the guessing game" is on (NPR's "Ask Me Another") we have podcasts on. I spent some time finding kid-friendly ones and settled on a few:
I agree with other posters: The medium should really depend on the intended goal. I don't know if sites like I Fix It have videos because I've never looked. The illustrated walk through's are perfect. If I want to get an idea of how a board game plays, I'm not interested in reading a review, I check out Wil Wheaton's Tabletop. I tried an audio book once, for Les Miserables. Couldn't stand it. Got off my lazy butt and read the book.
Again, the situation (usually) dictates the medium. At least for me. YMMV.
Yup, certain of it;) Like I said, it was sufficiently different that it was too disruptive of my I'm-old-get-off-of-my-lawn workflow. I certainly appreciated the concepts, but it just wasn't right for how I work.
I know it runs contrary to the design/intent of the Chromebook OS, but even something like a Downloads folder being missing messes with my workflow. I use the folder as basically a to-review-later folder. I know I could use Paper or something similar but it's not my current workflow. And, I'm old.;)
I picked up the R13 and it was quite nice. TBH, nicer than I expected; first time hands-on with a Chromebook. I was contemplating giving my wife my MacBook Air, which I pretty much just use for surfing and using the CB instead, and desktop for real work. But the CB just didn't do it for me. Even with a different workflow I couldn't get past the lack of the Finder - which admitted isn't the best but it's a desktop and folder structure. I'm old and it's what I'm used to.

Because this is how you get imperial units.

I would try calling them to discuss but I'm too busy streaming Game of Thrones and I don't have the bandwidth to do both.
Not if you throw enough Bothans at the problem.

I see what you did there
Please don't tell me what "extra toppings" is code for ...
No. It was a very early version of the X-wing.

Wow. These jokes just keep going and going and going ...

Nope. It's all ball bearings nowadays.
I have a two-hour drive to drop the kids off at school and with the exception of during Friday's commute when what my six-year-old calls "the guessing game" is on (NPR's "Ask Me Another") we have podcasts on. I spent some time finding kid-friendly ones and settled on a few:
* The Video Game Generations
* Geek-to-Geek
* Citizens of Tech
* Super Best Friends Video Game Sleepover
Note, by kid-friendly I mean free of profanity and that reference things that the kids recognize (primarily video games we all play together).
After I drop them off I have others:
* Echo Screen Live
* DLC
* Current Geek
* About half-a-dozen others

Better yet, just go kill yourself.
It's funny you say that. After reading your responses I said the exact same thing to my wife. Might be time to give it another shot. Thanks :)

The "inescapable question" is how many of them are journalists.

That's the problem. Things started to go downhill when we stopped being these United States of America.
He's just listening in on the private conversations of people who are saying it.

What poll is that based on? ;)
I'm amazed there's no you-can't-sue-you-have-to-go-to-brinding-arbitration clause.
