Now I see Starbucks at every corner, while many damn good, traditional Mom and Pop coffee shops are closing.
Then you failed to convince your fellow citizens to patronize Mom and Pop and to boycott Starbucks, because Starbucks (and McDonalds and Burger King, etc etc) would not last long if they were not making a profit and you don't make a profit unless you have patrons.
The fact that other peoples' choices are not your choices does not make them any less valid. When a group of people begins to believe they know what's best for every one else you end up with a Cuba, a North Korea, a Saudi Arabia, you get my drift.
You are free to get your coffee where ever you want - and that includes making it for yourself. Nobody is forcing you or anyone else to get their coffee at Starbucks.
The Air Force uses "continuity books" for the many additional duties personnel have to perform - everything from maintenance of technical order libraries to tool boxes to organization budgets. The books contain points of contact, technical references, and abbreviated process documentation. These are invaluable because turn-over for most positions happens every couple of years at a minimum.
Continuity books are inspected on a regular basis - usually at least once a year by the organization itself ("self-inspection") or a higher headquarters inspection team. If they weren't inspected on a regular basis they would quickly become "big binders of crap nobody reads." The key to whatever system you decide on is management buy-in and some sort of regular evaluation process to ensure the information remains current and applicable.

. . . the guide hollers "Red Badge!" before you enter every room.
(Sorry - inside joke.)
WTF?
. . . at a Navy or Air Force base where nuclear weapons are stored.
The Google Map crew would quickly learn concrete and asphalt do not taste good at all.
. . . when you make titless WAFs into Windows admins.
The first rule of military acronyms is that they must sound warrior-like. Where the letters "come from" is a secondary consideration.
. . . for marinara sauce and egg yolk?
Just wonderin'. . .
Ever been in an elevator in Seoul in the summertime? My advice to his fellow astronauts is to dig in so your, um, aromas blend together. . .
Why RTFA when you have /. tags?

I don't know how many times dreams have ended just as they were about to get really good. . .
One of the first things you learn on a sailboat is any line left unattended will soon tie itself into a knot - usually at the worst possible time.
I've noticed the same thing with networking and power cabling both at home and at work.
Apparently the officer wanted to be humiliated again, this time in a public court.
And how are they supposed to do that when you're posting as an AC tough guy?
Stay the hell away from tequila.

What's on it - Orrin Hatch's greatest hits?
Fire up the draft.
But that's not going to happen anytime soon.
. . . to help me find the goddamned croutons?
Eat less and exercise more.
That's it - no gimmicks, no pills needed.
And it WORKS.
. . . and for the most part that's for small in-house apps written (badly) in asp.NET with ActiveX controls (bleh!)
Of course, if I have to develop a web app, I test it in IE, because it's still the main browser, but I make sure it runs in Firefox too.
I think there's a great future for Firefox as more and more developers kick the .NET habit.
There's still PHBs who are insisting their staff print all 3,000 pages, even though they won't read one of them.
They just like the look of it sitting on the corner of their desks.
First project: Tony's nifty custom MS Access financial-tracking application!
First step: Rename all 122 tables from table1, table2, table3, etc to REAL names!
Wouldn't placing your datacenter on the water makes it susceptible to hurricanes, typhoons, or tsunamis?
Seems like the safest place for a datacenter would would be underground in a geologically stable area, like Heath, Ohio.
What, sysadmins show up with with a flash drive instead of a firearm?
