My company was to move completely away from Office to Google's suite of products 3 years ago. Except for just the few macro jockeys that required Excel. It's harder to get approval for an Office license now, but most people that

As someone who is just a bit over the age of 40, I do spend most of my TV watching time with Youtube. However, my viewing habits are not for watching these channels in question. I'm more into the killing 10 minutes paradigm. I choos

My wife showed me a video earlier of some kids laying under a trampoline, and on top of the trampoline was balloon slowing filling with water. The kids are giggling because they know what's going to happen, they just don't know w

Millions of page views? Unless you're running a photo sharing site, it seems like this should be more than $200/month. Assuming you know adsense best practices about ad placement, ad sizing, text versus image, have you talked to

Not sure this is an aside or not, but I see a lot of big bank versus credit union in the comments, and that's just not really the case here in my opinion. I work for a large regional bank and I see a lot of similarities in this story

Yes, you are right there, and thank you for clarifying that. I should have been more clear that the zIIP is useful to Linux through accessing data via z/VM. You can't offload all of the I/O, but you can offload some of it i

I'm confused as to why so many comments on the story are stuck on the very few lines regarding taxes. The vast majority really leads back to his Mom's abilities to seek out ways to provide for him and then putting him in front of opportuni

It all feels a little like handwringing, doesn't it? We think we can solve the problem by gun control but then you realize there are too many guns out there already that it won't work (or at least not for many years). So we go for the bull
