Sometime ago I read somewhere that the devs at AOL who worked on AIM had a name for this; it was something like "the AYO problem" for Are You Online? . Ergo, this issue began sometime not long after the start of The September Tha

I was thinking about a DYMO to upgrade from my low-endish Brother P-Touch labelers (my side gig: I string tennis racquets to HN standards). I guess I will need to think twice before committing to the brand.

I hate this feature, I invoke it by accident quite often and I do not use, nor want to use, Microsoft Tasks. MSFT:Please provide a settings toggle to turn this off (last time I looked that wasn't possible).

It's possible that controller may have just misspoken or been fed words from another controller and said 'national' when in fact it was for the west coast centers (ARTCC) only (Los Angeles, Oakland).

at least in the States one effective counterforce to this concern is that judges are very adamant about the separation of policy making (legislation) and the courts (judiciary). Most judges are conservative (read 'purist') about t

This reminds me of my amazement to learn from the YT teardown movement (AvE, etc) that professional tradesmen often consider a topline Makita or Dewalt cordless tool to be good to go for one job (e.g.,a single commercial high-rise buildin
