How much documentation is typically required for software systems?	1

In: Tech.Info-Tech Asked by: Doug - 1 Day Ago. Viewed 11 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Rock Star - 1 Day Ago. Before you complain about the lack of documentation in any program, consider these self-evident truths: - If a program is useful, it needs changes. - If a program is useless, it needs documentation. Documentation should be basic, covering basic features to get people started. There should never be the expectation that the documentation cover all complexities of the software. If there is, then the documentation will often cost as much as the software. If you write foolproof documentation, only fools will read them.
Do you think McCain is too old to be president?	1
Should age really be an issue?
In: Society.Politics Asked by: r56 - 3 Days Ago. Viewed 12 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Doug - 3 Days Ago. Some estimated that while being in the presidency triples the president's aging process due to stress. Look at pictures of Carter, Reagan, and even George W, and you'll see. If McCain takes over the presidency at 72 and he ages 3-to-1, he'll be equivalent to Eighty-four years old! Would you trust the decision of an 84 year old? I think there should be a mandatory retirement age, especially for politicians, because good ideas and decisions are important in good government!

Best Answer So far: Answered by: Doug - 3 Days Ago. 1) George W. Bush 19% approval in February 2008 is the lowest ever. After years of war in Iraq. 2) Harry S.

After firing MacArthur and many months of bloody stalemate during the Korean War. 3) Richard Nixon is third lowest, with 24% in July and August 1974 during the Watergate scandal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_rating
Which massively multiplayer online racing (MMOR) game is the best and most popular?	1

In: World.Web Space Asked by: Rock Star - 5 Days Ago. Viewed 8 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Rock Star - 4 Days Ago. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massively_multiplayer_online_game#MMO_Racing Currently there are only a small number racing based MMOs, including Kart Rider, Upshift StrikeRacer, Test Drive Unlimited, Project Torque and Drift City. The Trackmania series comes close to being an MMOR. Although Darkwind: War on Wheels is more combat based than racing, it is also considered an MMOR. Kart Rider and Drift City are my favorites. Project Torque also looks great but lags a bit for me. Both are awesome racing games connected to a huge number of players. Upshift Strikeracer is more of a shooting game than a racing game. And Test Drive isn't free.

What are the differences, advantages and disadvantages of new LED screens for laptops?	1

In: Tech.Computers Asked by: sherwin - 1 Week Ago. Viewed 33 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: sherwin - 1 Week Ago. LED backlights in display screens are an improvement over old CCFL (cold-cathode florescent lamps) technology for several reasons, including a stunning picture due to more vibrant contrasts, better power savings, and they’re easier on the environment because they contain no mercury and last longer. The LED is amazingly bright, and @ full brightness it hurts my eyes! For me it is very helpful outdoors, especially directly in the sun.

Why is it so common that idiots are promoted into senior management?	1
The Peter Principle can't explain it, because they're incompetent at every level.
In: Business.Management Asked by: dvrh - 1 Week Ago. Viewed 29 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: karz - 1 Week Ago. It's a vicious circle isn't it. The dumbass senior managers promote other dumbass senior managers. The Peter Principle only explains promoting competent individuals, but there is a missing piece... which is the lack of distinction between the verbally talented (VT) and the actual working guys (AWG). The verbally talented appears most intelligent when it matters, in meetings and at times when important organizational decisions are being made. The positive impression made by the VT way surpass the contributions by the AWG. Worse yet, most AWG's are not VT, and the impression made by AWG are usually negative. AWG's don't present well, so others think they're stupid. In senior roles, communication skills are often more important than actual working skills. So sometimes you do have to put up with them, and explain important stuff after dumbing them down for them.
What are the drawbacks of existing answer sites? what features will U think they should consists?	1

In: World.Web Space Asked by: azeez541 - 2 Weeks Ago. Viewed 45 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: sherwin - 2 Weeks Ago. Question and Answer sites in the context of the web should be very different than personal conversations, as they should take into consideration the very different audiences. The current web, at its best, presents the collaboration of individual contributions, which can over time be impressive in quality and quantity. When a system such as Yahoo!Answers reward users for selecting best answers from a list sorted by time, it encourages people to answer quickly to get to the top of the list. The resulting lack of patience encourages hast e and inferior quality. Furthermore, questions and answers need not be entered as conversations in the web context. Q+A only needs to be read as conversations. Here's what I mean. If you answer a question, and then find a better answer, you should be allowed to refine your prior answer. This results in exceptional quality, like Wikipedia.. HelpGlobe model.adds user ratings, which should surpass Wikipedia in trustworthiness, over time. (But not depth)

When I open Word documents from an explorer folder or desktop it takes minutes. But when I open the same document from the File Open menu it takes seconds. How do I fix this?	1

In: Tech.Software Asked by: karz - 2 Weeks Ago. Viewed 10 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: karz - 2 Weeks Ago. After hours of looking, I finally found the solution that worked. Specifically, files would open fine from within the application using File/Open. But it's very slow, about 5 minutes to open the file when double clicking it in Explorer. To fix, Go to the Control Panel, Folder Options, File Types. Highlight the DOC extension and then click Advanced. Click Open from the list, and then click Edit. Add this to the end: /a "%1" (quotes are needed) Also uncheck the DDE box.

Is deja vu related to lack of sleep?	1
I got rudely awakened today, and had a few recurring deja vus today.
In: Health.Psychology Asked by: Christine - 2 Weeks Ago. Viewed 36 times
Best Answer So far: Answered by: Neil W - 2 Weeks Ago. I believe Deja Vu is more related to sleep interruption than sleep deprivation, as you perceive a familiar flashback in a dream-like state. http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=131129&page=3 http://chronicle.com/free/v50/i46/46a01201.htm
