Easier than that - Campus bookstore here has a sign out front saying no mobiles allowed in the store.

Well, Missouri does proclaim itself the Show-Me state. . .

Last time I bought a new PC the old one went into the entertainment center. It isn't huge, isn't loud, and is more flexible than any of the small box setups. I keep a wireless mouse & keyboard in the coffee table drawer, and the PC is in sleep mode when not in use. Very easy to reach in the drawer, smack the space bar to wake it up and start watching Netflix.

Life in early UO was often nasty, brutish, short, and fun. If you were in town you had to be wary of thieves and scams, and if you were out of town you had to worry about being attacked at any second. But, you picked up good friends and forged great memories doing it because it was the only game in town. It's like my father reminiscing about the great depression - all the bad things created some good memories, but given the choice no one would go through that again.

Yes, it would and it has. If you're dealing with 50+ resumes, any little thing like that helps reduce the pile. Unfair, perhaps, but if someone's supposed to be on good behavior, presenting their best face, and don't know better than to use, 'jedimaster@', how serious are clients going to take them?

You forgot: if the 2005 post has replies they're insulting to the original poster or irrelevant to his question.

Also on New Egg - about a year ago I wrote a bad review on a product, and mine was the only review. I checked a week later and several people had marked my review helpful. Another week, and the product itself was gone. I'm assuming they pulled it because of my review, and definitely upped my respect for them.

"The problem with menu style systems is that it is not intuitive."
It is if you've been doing it for seven+ years, or however long Firefox has been on my desktop. Right or wrong, I know exactly where these tools are by now - I don't want to have to relearn where they are in an "intuitive" ribbon solely because "it's better" (for whom? Someone who has never, ever used a web browser? Really?)
"There is resistance to the change because of 'menus are the way we are used to doing things' not necessarily the way things should be done.""
Should as defined by whom? This sounds like change for the sake of change. By this logic we should all immediaetly begin using the Dvorak keyboard.

My guess would be they're not experiencing a loss at all. If their revenue stream is based on prints from their gift shop, or even exclusive'deals with online print sellers, I can't see someone not buying from them thinking, "Oho, I can just go to Wikipedia and print it out on my color printer for free!" Hrm, or maybe it's other online print sellers grabbing the wiki entries and selling them that's the problem?

True, a lot of sweat went into it, but does that make it an original work of art which should be afforded the same protections as a any other piece under the law? Apparently under UK law, yes; fairly dumb if ya ask me.

What exactly are the client's 'needs' in this case, as a publicly funded organisation? Or rather, where is the harm/what is their injury?

I've got this car, and it doesn't run and it's got all these strange bits inside under this hood thingie. . . . Hire a librarian or someone with a degree in knowledge management who has experience in the corp world.

I do that all the time anyway. Birthdays are for 'wow you shouldn't have' things.

Ditto. I was so surprised my wife didn't want one, not even when I tried selling her on Sony's model instead. Now I'm at a loss what to get her. Maybe a netbook instead.
