Comment Re:Software is hard (Score 1) 77

Lync 2010 is the biggest steaming pile of shit I have ever used. Leaks memory like a sieve. Can't handle it crashes when the conversation in the window gets too long (chatting all day for example.)

MSN and Skype have NONE of these problems. Maybe newer versions of Lync are better but 2010 is truly abysmal.

No idea what version the server runs, sorry.

In Australia and New Zealand we also have a GST system just like Canada. And Simgapore.

It's what a sensible country does. Your state based tax system is pretty brain damaged and only going to cause more and more problems as time goes on..... goodluck with that.

Comment Autorefresh ... !@##$ (Score -1) 52

Is there any way to disable slashdots incredibly annoying autorefresh?

Firstly, all day long I see a stupid spinning wheel on my tab bar in chrome because of slashdots autorefresh. I know its not refreshing constantly, but for some reason chrome shows the spinning wheel constantly even when its not refreshing. I assume because theres an autorefresh timer ticking down? Either way, its ANNOYING AS HELL.

Secondly, the autorefresh tends to ALWAYS happen while i'm reading some article halfway down the page and then the page clears and reloads and I lose my spot. THIS IS ANNOYING AS HELL.

I really do not want to have to use plugins or javascript hacks. This should be an option that can be enabled/disabled in user preferences on slashdot.

Please please please fix this before I find news elsehwere. You do not want to be pissing off your users. I know its pissing off other people because i've seen comments regarding it as well as other posts out on the internet. Please don't annoy your users with these stupid features.

Give me your free time...

I only work 37.5hrs a week (standard in Australia or New Zealand for fulltime employment) and I still don't have anywhere near enough time to do all the things I try to do. Maybe I just have too many hoobies and addictions (gaming).

When I was unemployed for 2-3 months I had so much free time and loved every second of it. It takes a couple weeks to adjust to so much free time but you will.
