RE: How To Demoralize Employees: A DIY Guide for Terrible Companies
There's no GPS data in the picture, as far as I can see with the Tools I have.
Probably because I blocked access to location data for apps in my phone.

RE: My most readable function
Reminds me my programming days in APL
It was usually easier to rewrite than to modify existing code.

RE: Work email on phone
Welcome to the world of BYOD.
Enterprizes all over the world are scrambling to find ways to allow this while still managing risks. Expect the same kind of rules to be prevalent in a few months or so.

Set lock-screen password expiration - Control how frequently the lock screen password expires
My workplace does it, I find it extremely annoying. I've used the same ATM password at my bank for 15 years, but the one on my phone I have to change monthly? Feh.
Yes but the context is different. Forcing an ATM password change would make no sense: as soon as someone knows your password he will use it for getting as much money as he can. You will notice but it will be too late. Now suppose a family member or coworker has physical access to your phone, knows your lock-screen password and uses it daily to browse your mail, docs, pictures. You will probably never notice and he may keep doing it for years.

RE: Hi there! We're not sure which action have we tried to do, and there was an error, so all in all, it was a success!
I've been using Deep Freeze for years, along with common sense. No need for AV!

RE: Firefox does it again

I'm now tempted to troll the Firefox bugzilla, reporting something like:
Remove unnecessary DHCP requests
importance: enhancement
description:
The requests the browser makes every time the user visits a page.
There is no loss of functionality, since resolving the page URL can be done by the following alternative procedure:
1 - Open a terminal
2 - Type the command "host pagename.example.com"
3 - Select the resulting IP address and copy it with CTRL + SHIFT + C
4 - Paste the address into the address bar of the broser and press ENTER
To be fair, if Firefox uses DHCP for domain name resolution, you should definitely report it to Bugzilla.

RE: The Excel Syndrome
So, it looks like it will take around 3 weeks?
Looks like the high-five was premature.

RE: Clueless
Kids on IRC have the attention span of a fruit fly. By the time you'd finish typing that 512-character line, the topic would have changed.
