Comment Positive feedback only (Score 1) 387

If you want to do anything, do it in a positive way. Offer to back up their laptop when they have a long meeting in which they don't need it, or give them the tools to do it themselves, or something of that sort. It doesn't matter. Accept it if they decline. That is a positive move.

If there is no such way, don't point them to the policy unless you are a very tactful person. They know about the policy but it somehow hampers them. They probably figure it costs them more in time and business to follow that policy then not.

Are you responsible for policy enforcement? Probably not if you have to ask this question here. Inform someone who is responsible and let it be, unless you can do it in a positive way and not focused not rules.

Same problem here with the lack of caffeine. Hmm. It almost seems these figures are a factor 10 too high, but then the numbers get too low again.
And they don't factor in the wind-drag which is proportionate to the square of your speed, as the article mentions later.

Don't know. I guess the wikipedia article needs more references; I don't think you can say "Generally used figures" and then not provide a source.

The average in-shape 70kg person can produce 200W for a more than an hour on a bicycle (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_performance)
Ever sat on a bicycle in a gym with a wattage meter? It is actually very hard to only produce 125W on a bicycle. On the road you'd go very slow and risk falling over, and in the gym the pedals almost spin faster than your legs.

And of course Lance Armstrong can do that. I am a "recreational" amateur cyclist who does no more than 2500 km/year and can maintain more than 250W for hours. It's not difficult.
