It's also word of mouth stuff. As in being asked if you take enough zinc every time you get a cold. Doesn't matter how ridiculous it is, if they heard it from a friend then you should try it.
Yes, I have heard of many strange uses for Vicks Vapor Rub that many a person swears by because they heard it from a friend/family member.
Sorry,
I was referring to people I know of that seek them out and treat them like medicines. The OP stated:
I don't believe that I've ever known anyone that either believed in or took homeopathic potions as cures..
It is these people I am referring to. Those that treat homeopathy as an actual treatment as opposed to people that may unknowingly make such a purchase.
One I accidentally bought the "light" sour cream instead of the regular stuff (the packages are much the same) I wouldn't say that I buy light sour cream.
I know a few.
All are of the of the New Age Crackpot/Hippy variety
Thank you.
I now know where to look
$511 Million world wide. But with movie attendance fees doubling (in these parts) in the last 10 years, This inflates the popularity somewhat.. . They always speak of the $$ in opening weekends.
I would like to know how that translates to numbers of bums on seats
I had a job training software, and business applications for end users. Part of this involved one on one training with users that wanted to know how to perform specific tasks.
I remember going to one lady who wanted to know how to perform a specific task to get an outcome she was struggling with. I found the issue not to be her lack of knowledge, but some missing packages. As systems were locked down, I had to call in to the internal HelpDesk and raise a ticket to get the necessary packages installed on her machine.
Upon giving the exact details of what was missing and what would be needed I got the response "Can I pass you to my colleague who knows about computers?"
so are we doing stonehenge tomorrow?
Finally they can finish work on Saucy Jack.
An ISP I joined and left over 10 years, offered free email addresses for life. Although I have moved 3 times and am about to move a 4th, my email address has remained as this same ISP address.
I think this needs to be fixes in law, not just in a court case. Some law that makes it explicit that employers have no interest in what you do with yourself when "off duty", and protects your privacy and dignity from your employer when you're not at work (or otherwise on the clock).
This is all good and well, assuming you are a well behaved person in your private time. Most employment contacts (around here anyway) have a clause that the employee will not do anything that will bring the employer into disrepute. This clause straddles the line between an employee's private and work time and often creates grey areas.
Yes, one should be able to do what they want in their own time - but if "society" (or my employers) disapprove and that activity makes the courts/news/gossip mill/rounds at the competitors they do want recourse to get rid of the staff member in question.
I am aware that this is a separate issue to the main point of this article.
My HTC Desire 300 is on 4.1.2 and apparently, that is where it is going to stay. .

"We assumed they were OK with Global Mode and we continued to spend money innovating the facility,"
"We did that on our understanding that geo-unblocking to allow people to digitally import content purchased overseas is perfectly legal. If you say it is not, then we are going to need a lot more detail from you to understand why. Simply sending us a threatening letter, as frightening as that may be, does not get us there and is not a fair reason for us to shut down our whole business,"
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
Agreed. It is the standard, but the point is, that he didn't even really know what it is he could do or wanted to do with it - It was just the one tool he had heard of that could do "Graphics" and so thought that is what he needed. (it could be that he could, but was unwilling to explore alternatives)
Conversation I had the other day:
Him: I am waiting for the purchase to be approved so I can get Photoshop and install it. I still need to learn it
Me: Why don't you go the open-source route and use GiMP like I do?
H: I need to learn how to use photoshop for my job.
M: Are you sure? I've never used photoshop and get everything done.
H: I will wait for the purchase order.
So I had a guy who wanted a tool just because of name recognition as opposed to function. He needed "training" anyway but could not get past a tool with a silly name that he had never heard of.
What did he need it for? Basic photo editing.
