Glad I could help!

You can run jpeginfo -c. I have a script that runs against a directory and makes a list for when I do data recovery for all my friends who don't listen when I tell them their 10 year old laptop may be dying soon.

The sad thing is, as someone who's used and created sharepoint sites, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't work great without seeing any proof. Maybe it works great for a sharepoint site, but that's like saying my refrigerator is a pretty good family sedan, for a refrigerator.

I'm not claiming the parent comment (or, for that matter, this port) are in any way worthwhile, but sharepoint DOES evoke these feelings on occasion. The amount of voodoo required to get it to work the way you want it, and the ease with which someone can destroy all your work, are staggering.

Eh. Honestly I don't really care, to be honest. As far as I'm concerned, it's a gas/electric hybrid. The kind of driving I do, it'll end up using gas.

I'd really love a car that doesn't use gas at all, but I can't get one of those with the kind of driving I do which occasionally involves a 100+ mile drive. The volt is a good option FOR NOW. But I have absolutely no illusions about what kind of car it is.

There was a story going around a while back that claimed the Chevy Volt used the gasoline engine to drive the wheels, and a lot of people were very upset about this. This was later debunked. I'm afraid I'm way too sleep deprived to look up references but I'm fairy sure you can google that up. It /is/ an electric car with a generator. I personally still call that a hybrid, and am still looking forward to the day I can get a practical car that uses no gasoline.

Ugh, 5 hours of sleep over the past 4 days doesn't help reading comprehension...

I know it's not. But like I said, there aren't any decent all-electrics yet, so I'm willing to consider a volt as a stop-gap until those (hopefully) show up.

If you factor out Prius owners? The most popular brand of hybrid? The one bought by people who like hybrids? Yeah I suppose if you don't count the people who like hybrids, then only 35% of the rest still like hybrids?...

I'm on my second hybrid. Neither has been a Prius. The next one might be. I'd love an all-electric but I'm still waiting for a practical one. Maybe if they start selling the volt up here.

Is this a thing now?...

I voted "blu-ray", but the 'correct' answer (for me) is "at home, with the highest possible quality/resolution and the highest possible sound quality". At this point that tends to be blu-ray or other hidef sources.

Thanks (:

I use YOUR sig as the title on my website!

Insert editor joke here.

Ask whomever is responsible, would be my point. I work for a very large company, and the employee handbook is very clear on such matters. HR would, at the very least, know who to refer you to. But yeah, ask whoever it is who's responsible.

And I agree about your second point, too. That's really why I use my own laptop. Just easier/safer that way.

Read your company's employee handbook and policies. it's very likely that they allow "limited personal use". Just don't do anything stupid like watching porn or pirating stuff on the thing.

If you have any doubts about running any specific software on it, talk to your boss or call HR. They should know what the company's policies are.

I have a work-issued laptop. I'm allowed to browse the internet on it so long as it's a reasonable amount, and the corporate image came with media players, including a DVD player, so I'm fairly sure I can watch movies/listen to music on it when I travel.

But I never do. I take my own personal laptop with me. It's just a lot more comfortable that way.

The EV1, which was around for a VERY short time, had improved DRAMATICALLY over that period. The first gen had a range of 60 miles, and the second had a range of 100. And that was with NiMH batteries which at the time were the highest tech in batteries.

They didn't sell any of them because they REFUSED to sell any of them. People were literally BEGGING to buy their leases out. Some people refused to return the things because they knew they were going to be destroyed!

I'd love an all-electric vehicle with an 100 mile range, and the EV1 could do that in 1996. 1996! Imagine if GM hadn't just taken them back and trashed them, but continued to make them, and did serious research. Imagine what the EV5 would've been like today, 16 years later.
