I seem to recall Amazon offering various AWS training for free years ago after making major announcements for the cloud platform. Now with the announcement of their new LLM Odyssey... this lines up pretty well IMO. I passed it around at work and will try to find the time to take it.

Yeah, I've personally witnessed this. When specific co-workers vanish and are completely off the grid from 10AM to 3PM, it starts to become obvious. Do what you feel is right, but make sure to communicate properly with your team and others. Taking a week at a time to do a basic 2 hour task because you can't multitask will always feel like stealing from the company, but to each their own.

Good timing, I guess? I was literally just about to build a Software Update Group in Config Manager for deployment of this month's updates. I will still check for available updates though. :)

As always, Slashdot.org is the best site to check while drinking my first morning cup of coffee at work. After reading this, I was able to go check our Intranet and external websites for my company to verify that this does not effect us. Thank you so much!

4.7" is the largest that I really care to have the phone to be honest. I want the iPhone 6 because of this. I currently have an iPhone 5 and a Droid Razr Maxx ( for work)... I am fine with the size of my iPhone but I prefer the size of this droid. Anything larger is too big in my opinion.

what I was most surprised to come across in my investigation was the availability, with no age restriction and free on the internet, of pornography including group sex, anal sex, double penetration, apparently having sex with strangers, women in the middle of a group of men who were masturbating over their face.

Has she (MP Jacqui Smith) been watching more porn at taxpayers expense?

Facebook is like a survey you create yourself.

Facebook has your holiday photos, knows you've been to an island, like partying on the beach. Google knows you're reading up on herpes treatments.

Maybe Facebook knows you're married. Google knows you're trying to find a divorce attorney.

This needs modded up!

Agreed.

On that basis I'd question how effectively the average amateur trainer will maintain the 90% intensity on the last 2-3 reps. I'd argue that many will either reduce the intensity considerably or just not bother.

I'm having the flu right now.

If you can manage a workout at the gym you don't have the flu.
