   Well, we have an Intranet page that's updated dynamically from our CRM system - no need for anyone to remember to update or circulate anything.

   I don't buy it. If a pre-sales technical enquiry comes into multiple addresses, including 'support@...', 'sales@...' etc. and the sales & support teams do not talk to each other or share business intelligence, then there has been a fail

   The misleading thing about the '£15' Raspberry Pi is that the main peripheral I/O is via USB, so to get this device on the 'net you must factor in at least another £17 minimum for a powered USB hub and USB network adaptor - and then we have

   Lesson 0 has to be 'have several years electronics repair skills under your belt' - and that's the kicker for most. I agree though - a bit of knowledge can be a powerful thing; a 'resistor pack' for my car (to regulate the 4 speed aircon bl

   I'm an IT Manager and communicate with my peers and friends in real time. Anything of merit goes into a helpdesk ticket or our knowledge base. When I am not doing my job, I have a life with friends and family and don't plan to spend it writ

    That pretty much covers it. We telephone them in house on their extension number and there's only 60-ish employees so we know their voices. Externally they have to call back.

    Nothing new there! When we setup a new in-house account, we either telephone the user or go to see them with their password. If it's a senior Manager with a corporate phone they get their password texted to them - Ok, not ultimately as secu

    One thing's for certain: leave that thing on the kitchen while food's being prepared and your iPad will soon smell of chopped onions and garlic.

    Totally. StackExchange sites welcome you with a display of their goods as soon as you approach the front of house, but having just headed over to Quora for the first time ever, I felt like I had been chased up a blind alley and couldn't fin

    Scary thing is I encountered a similar 'issue': The quote was to modify a piece of linux-based kit to work with a regular screen and keyboard instead of a touchscreen. The cost? £3300 for 'development'. I was asked to grab a piece of sample

    Yep, I can remember doing that on a CBM 3016 in secondary school - must have been about 1979. A little later this 'thing' arrived that comprised a keyboard in a large, plain grey case with a micro-cassette drive, permanently hooked up to a

    I dip in to HN regularly because some interesting articles pop up, but I find the site design to be soulless and depressing.

    If it's going to be commercially published, the publishers often have their own (sometimes mandatory) standards - for example, Wiley has a site dedicated to their layout requirements: http://www.wiley.com/legacy/DART/index.htm
