Confused . . .
Why is the opinion that anyone who takes medication for mental disorders such as depression or attention deficit disorder is “weak” as common as it is? Are people who take medication for a physical disorder weak as well? Now, I know some will point to instances where someone is medicated for either minor or non-existent problems, but the same happens just as often for physical disorders. Yet there seems to be a significant bias against anyone who’s going through suboptimal problems that can be corrected through the use of medication as being “weak”.
WinXP tip of the day . . .
For those of you running Windows XP and have used the included msconfig.exe program to see what programs have been configured to autostart, you may have come across the Services tab, which lists all configured services for your system.
The utility does have a nice little feature in the “Hide All Microsoft Services checkbox down near the lower left, which will remove all non-third party services from the listing, leaving you with a nice list of services that have been added after your initial install.
For the IT types . . .
Infrastructures.org is an interesting site with advice on managing a good number of computers in a well run organization.
