I don't know about the Netherlands, but heroin is one of the most addictive drugs there is. People who are addicted to heroin are not bad people, but they may become bad people as a result of two things: the terrible addictiveness of heroin, and the shame from their "illegal" addiction.

If the Netherlands is treating addiction as a disease instead of a criminal offense, I'm so happy for them.

Im not in such a bad, or odd position, but I will say that getting time to document really isnt always on the to-do list at places. I was a work study student for a small community college (2000 students, 900 pcs, several server) and the admin had almost zero documentation because he never had time to do it between managing accounts, server and telephone issues.

Then i interned at a large health system. Some stuff is relatively well documented, some stuff has a little to go on, some stuff has zero and you cant even find who worked on it last. They are asked to document things, but they arent always allotted time.

I work for an IT consulting company now who services over 200 customers in eastern north carolina. In a given day I might go to 4 different customer sites. I try to document while Im on site, but then I have to clean that up, put it in the notes/visio that the company uses because another tech might go to that site in the very near future, and get that uploaded to the office so someone can get it.

It's tough, and while the techs generally do a good job of it, stuff gets missed because we NEVER get administrative time scheduled to do documentation.

Im honestly not sure why theyre bothering. Android is already a well-known product with lots of support, applications and users, and is itself based on linux. Id much rather see them implement controls and whatever else they think makes chrome special into android, along with a good browser with features. It bugs me that chrome is such a good browser, and that they have an OS based on it, but that the stock android browser is so mediocre.

Cant see myself ever wanting a chrome book. An android notebook like the transformer? Maybe, if the app support improved and a few key features im interested in got added. I love my android phone and rooted nook color.

The only thing that still bugs me about it (and i use office 2007/2010 semi-regularly) is that icons change when i downsize the window. It kicks the familiarity i have with the interface in the balls almost every time, but Ive gotten used to it.

Sometimes I like the changes they have made, sometimes I still hate some of it. Ive used it so long, however, that looking for something in OOo or older versions of office is a waste of time. Ill never find what I want in those anymore. *snaps fingers* oh well.

If someone steals or finds a lost, working iPhone; he probably has a 80 - 90% chance of finding the device not secured with a passcode to begin with.

Jeebus. I lock my android phone, and my nook color which runs android, with the swipe lock. My friends and their ipad? Not so much, and they're nerds who should know better

The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, "I've got responsibilities."
