Well living in NZ my view point is America has burned it bridges already. I don't think its so much the US trying to get free trade agreements as rejecting offers or bundling toxic policies in with them. I don't think many people would disa

TBH companies aren't the problem. Companies are mindless automatons that act in one single purpose (to make money). Even people trying to change the world have to be money first to fund secondary projects. So the behaviour is expected, the

Exactly what Maddox suggests, don't buy their products. This is about counterfeit goods, and access to cheap competition. Its nothing but building protectionist markets, the same ones most western nations have been fighting for the last hun

No, the most important thing to me is reliability not skill. I only need one skilled person to solve the curly problems, what I really need is people who do what they say they are going to do without screwing things up. That said that one p

You can easily embedd internet explorer frames in winforms and WPF. If you're using Visual studio its almost a drag and drop affair. To gain things like system wide notifications you will need to use interop to get to the win32 libs, but it

Yep, I believe the majority of films I have ever watched has this plot: The protagonist is put into a situation where he is drawn from a position of security and is force to embark on a journey to resolve the situation. The journey exposes

From what I got told he asked which store had one and he was told none of them do, he asked to order one and they said they wouldn't from the store but he could order online. The guy is a grumpy troll of a man so I would of imagined him loo

I wasn't really referring to the 'carbon footprint' if thats why you brought cars into it. I was more referring to things like PCBs and batteries, and the chemical processes used in refining these things. Toxic and harmful chemicals appeari

Indded, one of my friends went to buy a windows phone recently, c# dev looking for a phone he could work on. The clerk literally told him they only have display models and don't hold stock and that he'd been told not to push them. The clerk

Does anyone else look at these numbers and instantly think of the shear volume of waste? With iphones thats a well over million per day. With most people already owning a phone thats a lot of superseded devices to deal with. Thats a lot of

Well both my parents have replaced android phones with iphones because they had trouble using them. I had a cheap LG that went flat continuously and I gave it away and went back to a feature phone so I could use the phone for the purpose I

Thanks so much for this. I have been working on a time management tool, and I'll probably use this as a top down view option.

Yes I do, as a high level tool for quickly identifying scope and impact. I have normally worked with enterprise (bulk funded) clients using waterfall process however, so it makes sense in that context. I'm not sure how relevant it would be
