Fantastic. And it is great at that. It is when a company lacks much in the way of technical personnel decides that since it works so great for these smaller things it should be used for that Big Project as well, rather than going for the bigger initial investment of a proper database system. Or a user creates a little project for himself that Boss sees and decides everyone should be using because it worked so great for person X.

Any time it moves beyond the small projects it becomes hell to deal with from a technical standpoint. Which, unfortunately, I have extensive personal experience with.

Fixed for pedantry. As another person who has to deal with it on a daily basis, the thought of willfully using Filemaker in a development project is sure sign of technical incompetence.

The EU as whole also tends to have much harsher penalties for speeding than America, leading to people actually obeying them. If you're doing the speed limit in the US you better be in the right lane or you'll end up with a BMW up your exhaust pipe. I've had cars pass me while I was doing 105.

Just sayin'.

Please, cite to me the journal of "Common Knowledge". Because, as we all know, all those folksy truths always have a huge bearing on reality.

If you're by the hour, now more than ever companies will try to restrict overages. Our support techs get called in off-hours for only the direst of emergencies. Of course, us salaried saps get to deal with the extra. "You've used linux before, here admin these two RHEL servers."

The full journal article is available free from Neuron right now via ScienceDirect, for those who prefer to read what the study actually says versus what the popsci reporter decided to interpret it as.
