There are a couple of current behaviors on the site that I believe you should address.
They are:
Currently, on the default feed page we all see when we log in, the DHTML has been progressively more auto-updating. There are some good reasons for this, and in general I support it, however, when I’ve got a text [...]
I’m beyond fed up with this shit:
If you’re involved with OpenOffice.org, this is why I haven’t registered your product, even though I recognize that doing so would benefit you by demonstrating the volume of users. I put up with this horse hockey for registrations for something I actually need, but I don’t need to register [...]
Recently, I was asked to provide the justification for moving an existing NetBackup environment from performing duplication jobs within Vault to performing them with Storage Lifecycle Policies (newly available with NetBackup 6.5, which is already rather dated). These are also the reasons that you should use SLPs for duplication in any new environment. Please, never, [...]
Today, in regular email conversation (on several unrelated topics), a very good friend (left anonymous unless they ask differently, but I can’t imagine why they’d care, as they’ve several blogs that are better-read than mine) expressed frustration with their webmail provider (which I’ll just leave nameless here, less because of privacy or respect than because [...]
Oh good grief. Why would anybody ever think it was a good idea to start doing this again?
Okay, let’s see here:

It’s not impossible that I’m paranoid, but my employer’s life insurance company is now offering “Identity Theft Protection” through SecurAssist, a feature of which is that I can plug “up to 10″ credit card numbers into their website, which they will then search for across “underground chat rooms where thieves sell and trade stolen personal [...]
I applied the 4.1 update yesterday, and I found that many apps that were in the “background” (essentially, saved memory state) were hung the next time I switched to them. Stopping and starting the app fixed it no problem, but it happened at least with Facebook and Apple’s iTunes Remote.
I guess a shared lib was [...]
In contrast with Symantas’s recommendation, this is entirely possible without paying their managed services (which are a bit short of staff at the moment, so you may end up with someone from my current employer if you ask for that anyway), but it is kind of a pain in the ass.
I’m in the process (this [...]
Apple would like me to update iPhoto (thankfully, not requiring a reboot, which updating their web browser does… because they want to be more like Microsoft, I guess). Here’s what I’ll get for it:
This update adds several new print product options to iPhoto ’09:
Hardcover books can now be ordered in a new extra-large (13ʺx10ʺ) size
Includes [...]
