Emoto [Bob] revealed: Wow. Revealing your entire future roadmap to your competitors? Either you guys have _no_ competition, or you are such a small player in your space that you don't worry about big competitors swooping you on features and capabilities. U...

That problem-default was recognized some time back (too many of the same complaint on the OOo support mailing list), so recent releases of OpenOffice have the opposite default (OOo doesn't take over the file associations), and a dialog during install/setu...

john@garisons.com scribbled: group. that I'm not about to put my full name in company docs (don't want somebody to use that for the correct spelling on a lawsuit... badump-bump-tsh! ). Earlier in my career, I'd have expected my given name in the text to be...

Dana Worley was heard to say: following cases? For a complex or flexible product, I think that one of the best uses of use cases in Help (or other customer docs) is that it shows the product in action, in a fairly complete, end-to-end fashion. It might not...

The use of PowerPoint is simply because it's available. Our engineers also use Ppt for flow-charts and high-level system diagrams. Often, somebody just sits in a conference room with a laptop, after a brainstorming or development meeting, transcribing diag...

Yes, I've heard of them...but I can't remember the name or where to get them (and that definitely shows MY age). Search lifehacker.com they've often had what I needed.

===================== Ditto developers, methinks. I still have users asking why they find "I Can Haz Cheezburger?" as the default content of a rarely used field within our expensive proprietary software. I've left it there partly because I'm no less asini...
