I've worked in places where people just say "nothing to report", and the meeting was over in one minute, and that's great - the team is using good tools and communicating well. I've also worked in places where you n

I was mistaken. ACT is only a territory(?), but steps are being taken towards scanning paper ballots: http://www.governmentnews.com.au/2015/02/electronic-vote-cou...

Wow, this looks great. I think I've actually seen this earlier sometime, but dismissed it since it was only available on Windows. Now that I actually have a decent Windows laptop, I'll definitely try it out.

One option that works 100%, is just to let it run Windows, and run Linux in VMWare or VirtualBox. I've done it before, and I'm doing it right now - never had any issues with it.

Wow. I've never heard of layoffs being done this way before. I guess it's a scalable way of doing mass layoffs, but still ... that is really cold-hearted.

I don't see the big benefit here being living off any grid. To me, the benefit could be to charge battery when electricity is cheap, and also - if the battery is portable - to easily get a power source places where there is none.

It doesn't have to be the shareholders responsibility to tell directors that, the directors can even just assume that - as they should. Big companies don't all set out to ruin the world just to make money, and I'm not saying
