Office can do many things that I wouldn't be able to even begin to describe as a search query. They are all well-hidden. Dig a little under the facade and look at the VBA methods. Most of that functionality is or was available somewher

It goes beyond habits. I know what Office was capable of many years ago. Many of those features became completely hidden by the ribbon. Once I managed to find them again, I would be looking at the unchanged dialog boxes from Office 97 insid

Office 2007 ribbon was a terrible release. I am an Office power user and I still have to dig through well hidden “advanced” dialog boxes that were previously exposed in the UI to do things that I remember Office was capable of doing. I stil

I really... really... REALLY hate "reach out". Tempted to add it as a filter, should eliminate a lot of email.

Not true for everyone. I genuinely love being a sysadmin, or more accurately business recovery specialist. Rebuilding systems after a disaster with no documentation is genuine fun for me. Otherwise I'd have gone insane. However, I have

One of the hurdles of effectively recouping the California Redemption Value deposit is that the would-be recycler has to take them to a smelly location far away from place of purchase and endure the inconvenience of waiting in line and deal

The cloud is someone else's Unix computer. Understanding permissions leads to understanding of privilege escalation, interprocess communication, /proc, logging, avoiding logging, understanding /etc... Yep, that's where I

That's not the plan. The plan is to give them a reason to want to learn. Learning 45 minutes at a time is silly. It's far more effective to master one concept at a time. Logic comes with math. I haven't fully thought it throu

You tell me... https://youtu.be/tTl5Rl8cKy8 A skilled person will learn a lot. This is a devious attack. A curious viewer will just get a glimpse but would not be able to implement. I learned enough to replicate this attack

Start with understanding Unix file permission system and the meaning of /etc/services. It will snowball from there. You need to be proficient in Unix operating systems to have a knowledge base.

There is a way to start children young to become lawyers and doctors. Lawyers need perfect English. Doctors need perfect English and biology. Our entire school system is wrong. :) I am working on it. We force parents to go to school and tha

Read any random software patent and see if you can understand what it covers and how to implement it. Then ask yourself if that method should be exclusive to someone for more than 20 years. Software patents effectively patent math, which is

Bizarre. Meetup is the perfect match for bringing new customers. They will pay more for customer acquisition if they divest this.

Fallen with helmet on a couple of times hard enough to require a new helmet. These falls were a non-event and so they were never reported. The lack of reporting is likely causing this.

That's less than a trillion, which is likely much cheaper than the future cost to mitigate the damage caused by the loss of this forest. It feels like a very reasonable solution.

They are important, but less so if your primary distribution method is an app store. There the app name functions similar to how AOL keywords worked on top of the Internet. Keys to naming: 1. Come up with a temporary throwaway name and buil

Why? The purpose of a patent is to grant a monopoly for an invention that would not be obvious to someone skilled in the art. These business methods should not enjoy patent protection that prevents someone from independently discovering and

That sounds like it should not be pantentable. At the core of the argument, software engineering is applied math. Math is not patentable. Software patents are workarounds around the fact that math is not patentable. Yes, the work is valuabl

Software companies employed predominantly software engineers and ancillary staff to support them. Many sold mandatory recurring billing "support" packages, which really is no different from SaaS, just framed as a separate invoice

We used to have a term software company. That was unambiguous. At what point did the nebulous "tech company" take over?

Bizarre. Phones and tablets are definitely computers. We can attach a keyboard and a screen to it. We can print from it. We can attach mice. They can run arbitrary software, subject to platform restrictions.

Makes you ask just one question: why? Why is the architecture not controlled by a redundant master system and a bunch of microcontrollers that act as glorified relays.
