Comment Re:There's more than one way to do it. (Score 1) 578

We worry about when a bunch of non-programmers get hold of things like this, then say things like "It took me an hour to build this program, why do you guys take months to build yours?" Used to happen to me all the time with Microsoft Access, I'm sure that still happens all the time now. "I build this database in 10 minutes in Access, why does it take days in Oracle or SQL Server??"

Comment Club Bing (Score 1) 514

My mother in law spends a large amount of time on the Club Bing website, playing their stupid games in order to win points for prizes. The word games there are silly, most centering on "how many words can you make out of these seven letters". Every time you type in a word, it does a Bing search for that word. Get enough people trying to win Bing points for free things, and it will skew the search results.

Comment Corporations and stolen laptops (Score 3, Interesting) 665

A laptop was stolen from our company in August 2008. Two weeks ago, the most recent purchaser acquired it off of eBay and called Panasonic to get tech support when something wasn't working. Panasonic said "That laptop is stolen, please contact this company." We ended up buying it back from this guy for what he paid for it.
