I think the word you were looking for was "paradigms". Drives are dragged to the trash because you are not only ejecting the media but you are writing the file system buffer back to the drive (in the case of read/write media) and deleting its cache. With XP, you are also supposed to eject USB devices before disconnecting them for the same reason.
What does a process to protect data integrity have to do with deleting items? Sorry, I'm a Mac fanboy, but the whole trash/eject thing is kinda hard to get. The PC does not have a better solution, however.
No, some of us have had the unfortunate experience of being cashiers in previous jobs. I Burn through self-checkout. I have to shoo away the "helpful" attendant who likes to put cleaning supplies in with fruits.
That being said, I now use Peapod and I am blissfully removed from groceries
It's JAWA report.
Y'know, a report about sand-dwelling robed merchants who will sell their oil^H^H^Hdroids to anyone, and their ornier relation, the tusken raider, who is a bit more violent.
I do not share the opinion of the site, but calling it the Java report totally loses the issue.
Jeez, I do that exact job for [DELETED] and I would basically have actually tried top duplicate the issue witth you, made you drop all your firewalls(and pants) so I could ping you and the modem, then had you start the connection. I would then had told you to get a new modem. (And we would provided it for no charge, provided you don't mind returning it if you cancel.)
Dear lord, you have to have the worst social skills in the world with these people!
Clueless users? If you fix the problem, as long as your body language and tone of voice are non-threatening, they will realize how dumb it was and not get defensive, and just thank you. If they think you are annoyed, or condescending... that is when they get defensive.
This is not so much an answer as a semi-related question.
What should you do when you've gone through school and NOT done what Austin suggests?
Here is my story:
I went to school, having no clue what I wanted to do. I figured out I LOVED coding, (yeah, doing it since age 7 kinda makes you like it...) and tried to make it my goal. I got distracted by a lot of stuff, (Kicked out of house, working min. wage job because I couldn't network to save my life...) kinda fizzled out in the middle of my education. I knew how to program, but had no idea how it actually worked in the real world. After barely doing enough coding to pass my classes, got two programming jobs that I bombed out of cause I couldn't develop the social or organizational skills to either do the job or get help. Working retail like 4 billion hours a week to survive, I squeeze out graduation and barely stay above water for a few years.
Now I finally recover my wits, (I had some legit mental health issues that are now more resolved.) I am faced with this quandary.
What next?
Right now, I finally have a somewhat computery job, doing consumer tech support for a major ISP, but the pay is garbage and there is no mental challenge.
My resume is a nightmare. I have little definable real-world programming experience, and my coding is rusty to boot.
Is it possible to break into real programming jobs later on in life? I feel 10 years late for the prom.
I figure I either need to come up with the plan from hell to make me a paid software developer in two years or I gotta find something else.
So if anyone has any ideas?
If there are other IT paths people could suggest I'm interested too.
(Right now my best solution is trying to go back to school to become a teacher, but I haven't given up on "DO" yet...)
Slashdot Mirror
You fail it. "Aren't all our base belong to them?"
Yes, all of which are good workarounds and why I still have a mac-loving-heart.
You didn't address the fundamentally dumb idea that associating unmounting with deleting is dumb.

Parent Modded down "too close to home". Either that or it is redundant to point out that Linux geeks have no life.
Mod Parent Flamebait please!!!!! j/k
Does groupthink and no social life cause Linux use or does Linux use cause groupthink and no social life?
I heard they are working on it but the dupe-creating algorithm isn't quite producing enough.
It also doesn't put in enough Dvorak and Cringely.
Crap, they live in my town. Ick.
In my head I see a snooty American waiter at a five-star restaurant and a lottery winner fresh from the trailer park... Social rules indeed...

I, for one, welcome our robotic surgeon overlords.
No, supposedly they... "whine"... it's not fan noise.
The also heat up ridiulouly in some cases.
It's an apple issue if it exists, not an Intel one.
You've obviously never had to do tech support with a child.
That was a bad rep for a bad Company

Actually, Peapod still sells groceries online, and for the convenience it's not bad...
Umm... My Mother-in-Law, my parents... Please...
Actually, Smart Playlists do "and" or "or"
Folders of playlists are automatic "ands" as well.
It should be easier though...
Exactly...
"It's not, lets ruin 'Construction Company A', its 'Cement Company B' has a problem, let's fix it."
Just because the head of the gamg seems so nice doesn't mean that he isn't ordering deathsquads... or throwing chairs in those closed-door meetings.
Wow, mod parent +27 OMGPonies! Interesting and insightful.
Didn't you notice the glut of themed monopoly clones in the past decade?
You can't copyright the rules of a game.
Thus, WotC is just "releasing" what you'd be able to use anyway.
I give kudos for them for running with it as far as they have, but I never think of it as totally altruistic.
