Tips for better meetings:

Using a mouse to highlight words goes beyond hopeless and into the highly irritating when the software has so-called "smart selection" (dumb selection is more like it). People should learn to use a keyboard instead.

Oh goody, an "automatic unsubscribe". And what constitutes a "legitimate mailing list"? Who is to say that the "unsubscribe" function can't tell the difference between real and fake lists?

I'll be happy when the advocates of DRM are dead.

Eating and driving is as stupid as using a cell phone behind the wheel.

"Lifestyle inflation" can be eliminated if you never get in the habit of it. Always think in terms of what you can affort to save, not what you can affort to spend.

My first piece of advice is your "paycheque" is not your paycheque. Never think in terms of the total amount you get. Start thinking in terms of living expenses after a mandatory payment to yourself. Put a fixed amount of your total into savings every month, and put money in a higher interest term deposit (3/6/12…

For those who think putting Visine into food is a solution or is funny, [snopes.com] says differently.

Unless the manager/owner/boss is the thief and is stupid, why not report it? "If someone would steal people's food, who knows what else they would steal from the workplace." If an employer can't figure out why that's likely, he's an idiot.

Unless you're a hermit going into town for a meal or a person with no life, the only time you're likely to be eating alone at a restaurant is at lunchtimes when you usually have little time to…

@tc4001: Regarding your three points:

Given that most Li-Ion batteries built into devices don't last as long as the music on the player, what's the problem? And who would buy an MP3 player that uses AAA or AA batteries?

Forget that nonsense. Here's my way of doing them at home:

@Dreadnought: "My Computer" lacks features that are in Windows Explorer. I have never understood why anyone would use it, unless they're expecting the OS to manage their files for them and don't know their own system's directory structure.

One of the biggest changes in my handwriting has been using white boards. Because I'm no longer leaning on the surface to write, it has forced me to write in a more controlled manner to make my letters legible and in straight lines. That has had positive effects on my paper writing, though I only print and never do…

@jpcarter:
