What on earth can you say in a standup that you can't say in an email or a PM tool?

yay! Thank you!

BS, it makes it easy to skip important details and miss whole major topics and looming problems, thanks to brevity.

btw, this BS term, its real meaning, has been true since back in the pocket protector days. Just more of stupid infowadd trying to come up with something that sounds new out of the same old.. Ah duh I need to know about the business to program and build systems for it. YES like as it ALWAYS has been.

You gave a good example, but TFA is littered with generalizations that cancel out to being meanlingless, it is clear it was written to be as long as possible with maybe 5 lines of actual info, which taken out of context don't mean anything, still. I really wish people would stop posting infoworld and I am totaly sick of the popups AND on top of it a div hover add, the another popup on the next page. Gee I wonder why the word count was so important??

USB backups make baby Jesus cry. What a slow, stupid way to backup, anything.

heh, you beat me to it!!

Brilliant, so really low paid legislators then become just another reason only a really rich person can seek office. GOOD THINKING! How about instead force them to have no corp ties(board members, significate stock holdings) at the time of running for election and 10 YEARS after? This crap of retiring from government to take consulting, or board positions at the compaines that they helped benifit while in office, is well kind of a conflict no brainer. A HIGH salary(make it 300,000 or more) combined with strong no conflict rules would actually do something like what you are suggesting. The absolutely piddly amount of money you would save otherwise would pale in comparision with cutting off any hope of office for a normal person. This goes down to state and city positions as well.

yeah, I get the funny, haha on me. Why I picked a diffrent date? Don't know, I was just irriated to start with on the question being asked yet again. Yes, they did the "right" thing, except my birthday is none of their business to start with. They could just as easily ask, are you over 18/21 whatever and I was a little shocked that it wasn't an error message! Instead it was a full account block at first click. So yeah, that pissed me off..
