hey sometimes i drink coke and it tastes really good. this only happens when it comes out of a fountain or one of those bar watergun things (i want one).
do you know what they are doing that makes it so delicious? do they put in real sugar somehow? or are they just altering the syrup/water ratio. either way, can i get in on this action?
what if, instead of the tax on sweetened soft drinks, they stopped subsidizing corn farmers? the price of corn syrup would go up, so soft drink manufacturers would switch to cane sugar and increase their prices.
government increases income (no subsidy) soda price goes up (soft drinks taste better)
i had a coworker who ran peoples' statistics (SPSS) for them for their theses and dissertations. she thought excel sucked until i pointed out that it was giving her incorrect values because she was using the sum tool incorrectly.
i think that was the first time i ever called someone a noob IRL
you can use the ping attribute itself to check if a browser supports pinging. if it doesn't (or the user has it turned off), send them regular, javascript-heavy links.
the people with ping enabled get a nice browsing experience. the people with ping disabled get tracked anyway through javascript and redirection.
1. show them how to copy/paste 2. a lot of repetitive tasks can be done using a macro or a mail merge 3. use the right tool for the job - excel is not a database 4. save, try something new, revert if it doesn't work
i've actually done that very thing with my mother and it hasn't caught on. i've even pointed out that windows folders actually look like manila folders, but it doesn't catch on. she still asks me what the difference is between a file and a folder.
i think the difficulty lies in that, nearing 60, she used the phrase "keep [something] on file", which would mean to keep it in a folder somewhere. maybe i'm way off.
Spock: "Two females. Sisters I believe. One calls herself 'Seven Of Nine.' The little one calls herself 'Six.'"
Adama: "What's with the numerical designations?"
Spock: "Unknown. They're both from a planet of nymphomaniacs. Wear tight clothing, are both linked to a 'hive collective consciousness'; and are right now. even as I speak, seducing all of the male crew members."
Adama: "And the problem is?"
Spock: "It's going on during office hours."
Adama: "I see your point."
Spock: "They have currently taken all of the 300 male crew members hostage in engineering. All 300 volunteered to be taken hostage."
Adama: "And their demands are?"
Spock: "They want the heads of two television producers from Earth stuffed, mounted, and placed on display."
Adama: "Television producers? What are their names?"
...my girlfriend called me a dork for ditching her to watch battlestar galactica. i said, "you think i'm a dork now? just wait until i start a friendster group dedicated to battlestar galactica where i'm the only member!" so that's what i did.
long story short: i can feel battlestar galactica's ownage with all of my body. yes, even my pepe!

i have. how do i combat this?
1. show them how to copy/paste
2. a lot of repetitive tasks can be done using a macro or a mail merge
3. use the right tool for the job - excel is not a database
4. save, try something new, revert if it doesn't work
anything else?

what about spammers who aren't from this country. wouldn't such lists just be providing them with the email lists that they so desperately crave?
does putting your child on the no adult spam list instantly result in them getting ads for hasbro and toys-r-us?
hehe i know. just thought that commenting a comment was an idea worth exploring
