  1. Re:Good Practice? on Wicked Cool Perl Scripts · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing. Like 'too rich' or 'too thin', you can never have 'too much good code'. Anyone who wishes to read the code (known good) has just saved themselves the pain of re-inventing the wheel. And you can 'stand on the shoulders of giants' who built the nuts and bolts and other tools which you can re-use. So if you had a problem, you would also have access to a bigger arsenal with which to attack that problem.

  2. Re:They job is to collect money from on What Do Geek Squad Technicians Actually Do? · · Score: 1

    You are probably better off ignoring their 'advice'. The Geek squad speaks in a cocky way on their party line, but knows little beyond their indoctrination course on the hardware. I was attempting to purchase one of their PC's at their store, but was actually discouraged from purchasing it. After ignoring their 'advice' I took care to voice my displeasure to the manager of the Geek squad, and to his boss & am happy with the purchase which the Geek grudgingly recorded.
