No. I'm not really looking for blame-generation, although others would. I don't do auditing, but some larger financial institutions do. When investigating bugs (and more than a few times, we're turning into real code something cobbled out o

Sharepoint is fine if you are only tacking things at the file level. You can't answer stuff like "who changed the formula in E5?" Or even "how long has the formula in E5 been wrong?" Some kind of auditability of Excel spreadsheets would sav

Objectivism was still a cult, and one had to agree 100% with Rand, or be excommunicated. Objectivism ultimately became what is called "the unlikiest cult." Disagreeing with Rand was tantamount to heresy - much like disagreeing with L. Ron H

I came across an interesting analogy about how Atlas Shrugged was the first book in a trilogy. And how Anthem was the 3rd book (the second book, "shrug harder" not having been written or released). > Then [John Galt] went further and,

My experience is that these things are best hidden inside large applications, and especially hidden from customers. This lets us customize the applications for some customers, or when there annual changes (think of taxes and tax rules chang

Presume that you have some sort of table with userIDs and password hashes (with salt). You should also consider adding some columns like: 1 - LastLoginAttemptedDateTime 2 - LastLoginAttemptedIPAddress 3 - LastSuccessfulLoginDateTime 4 - Las

The "older" generation always complains about the younger ones. And that has gone on since the days of Plato and Aristotle. Why! Back in my day, we walked 15 miles to school, and it was uphill both ways! Don't worry, in 10-20 years, the "

Poor impulse control underlies many self-destructive behaviors. I'd say that the excuses are just a symptom of poor impulse control.

Most modern electronics have been using lead-free solder for the past few years (to allow them to be sold in Europe and California). From my experience in manufacturing, I'd say that the long-term reliability of lead-free solders is still r

I'm good at writing resumes. But lousy at interviewing - which I discovered the hard way while running for office this past November. At the moment, only one friend is looking for something (more stable than his current gig), so when I see

I try to keep all my non-fiction cataloged at LibraryThing. I've been kind of sloppy entering tags, so most books aren't tagged. I suppose I should fix that. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Tangurena As you can tell from the already

I wouldn't say that they've abandoned monetary policy, it is that their primary tool in the past has been manipulating interest rates. Now that interest rates are effectively zero, they've painted themselves into a corner. Their only othe

Inventors get screwed by corporations and now by universities. The bit about MIT demanding royalties from the inventor was nasty but expected. But when RPI was demanding royalties even though they had zero input in creating the "idea" and s

Fortunately, none of my student loans are "private" ones as mentioned in the article. I am cutting back on expenses to pay off my federal ones early, primarly because student loans can't be discharged in bankruptcy, and I think that thing

Well, MCP just means you've passed one or more certification exams. My current employer is a gold partner with MS, and as a result, we need to have 2+ people with "higher" certifications, such as MCSD, MCAD or MCPD. It saves our company abo

One tip is to avoid putting your wallet in your back pocket and sitting on it. This tilts your pelvis a tiny bit that adds up over time, and can lead to lower back pain. Another thing that is helping is that our employer signed us all up fo

I recently went on a "plant trip" to visit our local ViaWest datacenter. From memory, their facilities are mostly in CO, UT and TX. It looks like they want to sell managed hosting mostly, but they also have a lot of colocation.

Sadly, that is baloney. The rampant and pervasive anti-semitism of Weimar Germany wasn't the key to his getting into power, it was that the other powers in Germany saw him as an easy-to-manipulate dupe that they could control. And Hitler pl

I used to play Traveller, and our group at college didn't play the ship-to-ship combat part, just the role playing game (think of it as D&D with only 6-sided dice, space ships and other planets instead of dungeons). Thanks for bringing
