I volunteered overseas in a developing country as an IT consultant. I was responsible for building a new website for a school, looking at their IT costs (I was able to stop 50% of costs by removing unused services) and training of staff. It

I always learnt that if a business model doesn't work with tax, it isn't a successful business model. Specifically in regards to the article, the fare meter requirement sounds reasonable. Both the driver and the passenger have a p

Read history, whenever an industry gets too distasteful for IBM they sell it. E.g. Desktops/Laptops and more recently servers to Lenovo. The products might be supported by a lot of services, a mainframe might not be cheap but nor are m

It would be interesting if style guides were also integrated, e.g. you have a non-standard variable name it highlights the background in a striking colour, or the Word style red squiggly underline.

Do many of them have the option to change the colours?

As a non-native Chinese speaker, I have to agree that using the IME can make conversation very fast. I can reduce many popular sentences down to only a few button presses. However the author has completely ignored Bopomofo and Cangjie, popu
