Mr Dog posted:If I may offer an explanation of the "Storing important poo poo in the Deleted Items folder" phenomenon: There is a broken metaphor at work here, just not the one you're thinking of. It's the inbox. In the physical world, an inbox is a place where you store things you haven't read yet, or haven't started to work on, then file it away somewhere (at least I assume this is how offices worked back when paper existed for reasons other than presentation notes and billing/legal documents). On every email system ever, INBOX means "the root of your home directory, where any mail intended for you gets dumped". This kind of works, but then they all confuse matters by having 'read' and 'unread' states for mail, which are set automatically.

Some people have gone days without noticing that their background would gradually change over the course of a day.

Arsten posted:"In Windows, any trained monkey can just, for instance, add a user. It's just a few clicks!" My general response: "Why does it matter how hard is it to do things? Are you so afraid of having nothing to do that you want to rely on some arcane command set to keep your job?" That seems to be a general attitude at slashdot: "I better be the only one who knows how to do x, for job security. Cross-training and documenting code is for suckers."

Xenomorph posted:Well, on Windows and Mac, I have common folders outside of the system's folders. I don't install games into global-app folders (like "\Program Files" or "\Applications").  And you wonder why things break. Stop fighting against how the OS is designed, this isn't DOS anymore. If you want to keep it organized, make an /Applications/Games/ folder.

Mr Chips posted:speaking of web ticket forms, I love when submitters can't type their e-mail address correct...twice. (I built a 'verify your email address' field into the drat form to stop this, but it's not helping much) My favourite is still when people put "www." in their emails, like "www.jimsbabymomma87@yahoo.com"

When I was testing stuff at my old job, I'd always use my real address so that I could be sure to get any bounces/replies, etc. I would bitch out the other guys on my team who used test@test.com, because how the gently caress am I supposed to know if everything's working?  Then one day I was being lazy and using mo@mo.com because it was nice and short. Then I started getting email from the guy who owned mo.com, who was understandably a bit pissed at me.

AlexDeGruven posted:Unfortunately, too many people think it's a backslash for some retarded reason. I've seen it in ads, done by professional ad agencies (not even local crap ads) and it just makes me shudder every time. At my last job I had one marketing manager who would always describe campaign URLs like "www.companyname/campaign.com," and on more than one occasion I saw direct mail proofs with it listed like that.

Neito posted:Shipping is a huge expense. Customs are huge expenses. Good beer is expensive (compared to crap, at least). So it makes more financial sense to import a cheap beer so you can get a higher margin on it.

ErIog posted:I've been able to stem the tide of "I need Photoshop," pretty well with a combination of Paint.NET and IrfanView. Users love these solutions because they can get them immediately whereas if they whined enough about it, then I would have to get approval to order more licenses. I am getting tired of the, "I need Photoshop." "Why?" "I want to resize images," conversation, though. Thankfully, nobody has been stupid enough to try to fight me on it like is happening in other organizations. It helps that I have pretty much the full backing of the CEO for most of my decisions.
