The CIA guy is just a dumb fuck. He was caught out behaving badly and now he's angry that everyone knows he's a dishonest asshole. Once a dumb fuck, always a dumb fuck.

I've used MS Word for my log book for many years. I use the classic MS Word file format, not the newer XML-like format; since many programmes on every computing platform that's ever existed are able to open and read the classic MS Word file format. In addition, MS published the file format and so it's well understood and newer editors will always be able to create an import filter for MS Word files.

Tips 2 & 3 are on the money. Progressives work very, very well for me (~-5 correction, with +2 added for the reading component). That said, I have the optometrist make the lens taller to accommodate a bigger focus area, plus I pay extra money for the lenses that offer a wider viewing area (in my case, Nikon Progressive Presio Power). I believe this makes a difference and isn't just marketing.

I wear progressive lenses and they work very, very well with my laptop + external monitor setup. The key is properly positioning the monitors. Yes, the monitor needs to be lower than you may have positioned it prior to needing reading glasses; but, it's really not a problem to position the laptop and external monitor to accommodate this.

You're exactly on the money!!! What's needed is a cataloging app that keeps the canonical data store in sidecar files. Picasa is "almost" there. In recent versions it writes most of its data to .picasa text files (an open data format). This provides future portability because another app can read those .picasa files and the image files to rebuild the database. Hopefully, Google will continue to expand Picasa so that it writes all info to .picasa files as well as keeping a local database current. The local database provides excellent app performance, and the sidecar files provide for future portability when Google decides to walk away from Picasa--which they inevitably will.

The researcher, journalist, and most cyclists are making the classic correlation is not causation error. See the following site for lots of humourous versions: http://tylervigen.com/

Let's also outlaw secret courts, non-transparent legal processes, unfettered wire tapping, etc. This action against the EPA seems to be nothing more than a way to distract voters away from the government's illegal actions.

You are confusing ability with interest. No matter how much ability someone has, if the activity doesn't interest them then they will not pursue it. This whole get woman involved in tech thing has become very tired. /. needs to stop posting these articles.

Anyone with a serious interest in this subject needs to read "Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams by Tom Demarco & Timothy Lister. They present empirical research data gathered in the 1970s that demonstrates the real productivity gains to be made through housing staff in appropriate office space. Note: open offices and cubical jungles do not constitute productive environments. The numbers tell no lies.

But, "Rape, burn, pillage, rape" is so much more alliterative than the correct form.

In other news, government officials announced they have conclusive evidence that the information leaked by Snowden is causing an acceleration in global warming.

I'm a ReadyNAS owner. I have ignored recent firmware updates from Netgear simply because they have become incompetent at releasing firmware that actually functions. I keep my ReadyNAS far away from the Internet, and so my level of risk is low; as well, I have stopped upgrading: Netgear's release quality is simply too poor to allow me to risk the upgrade.

I agree. Telling porkies is their specialty.

Now you're dreaming in Technicolor. The liar might get a promotion for their behavior, but there certainly won't be any negative consequences.
