Chamber of Commers
Chamber of CommerceNope, according to Mr Swamp's site, Commers are the problem. I'm not sure why he should object to a defunct vehicle manufacturer. but it's probably a Random Random thing.

21% of support threads have been "solved"!
Given the number of posts on the WordPress forums, that's probably above average for a plugin. A question is only listed as "resolved" if the OP takes the time to do so, which people generally don't.

RE: Garmany
Well, I certainly learned some new things about the UK.
Sadly, there isn't much to see regarding the British Vrgine Island, but at least we now know that the Isle of Wight is a city...

RE: Vodafone is dumb
You'd be amazed how many people do need to be told that kind of thing. The punctuation is pretty nasty, though.

RE: Are you clickier than a 4th grader?
I tried it a while ago (days? a week?). It alleged I was 42, which is, of course an excellent choice of number. In what passes for reality around here, I am cough somewhat older.

RE: Best place to store business critical documents? Try Outlook deleted items!
@Anketam said:
People view their deleted items much like they view the recycling bin. Deleted stuff goes there, but they think they should be able to undo the delete no matter how long it is in there, and that it should not be perm deleted until they hit the empty recycling bin button.
These would be the same people who never have their rubbish bins emptied in case they suddenly remember they meant to keep that pizza box from 2006.

RE: Adobe hates networking
Network hating isn't confined to Photoshop. Adobe Reader X has a "protected mode", turned on by default, which apparently stops naughty PDFs doing all the things that they can do normally because of the way the format is defined.
Cool. Great. Don't need to worry about users opening malicious PDFs that might sneak past email filters, web filters, AV or the common sense some of them may possess.
Except if a user tries to open a file that lives on a DFS share (which is something we use a lot), there's a slight problem. They can't. Naturally, Adobe provide a helpful message explaining that because of fnargh[1], opening files from DFS shares is not supported. Or not. No, what the user gets is a helpful "Access Denied" message, which led to someone[2] spending far too long checking permissions, group memberships, turning it off and on again, weeping, wailing[3] and generally having a bad day.
The solution is to disable the helpful enhanced security. Or to use a less annoying PDF reader...

RE: Business user emails are nearly as bad as SOAP
Not quite as contrived, but I did once have a user who, instead of using the fully functional network scanner on the photocopier that was located within a couple of meters of his desk, took a document to reception and used the fax machione there to send it to the network fax device thingy we still had at the time[1], then got the receptionist to call me because it hadn't instantly appeared in her inbox so she could forward it to him.
But then, this was the same guy who once complained that "someone" was remotely typing nonsense on his computer. I looked, and sure enough, odd text was appearing. He'd managed to activate the Language Bar and turn on the not all that good speech recognition function.
