Yep, I used to do this as well. Then after my kid was old enough to hold a mouse and keyboard and after I spend a few hours setting correct permissions - like what he can see, but not change (photos, ...), what he can change (some old games and their save files in the same folder) and what he shouldn't have access at all (private documents). I switched to "my..." folders.
Way easier to manage

Untrue. Defaults to the most used document type. Who fills it with JPEGs probably wants to see them on thumbs. Who manages thousands of files in a single folder couldn't be successful. Who manages thousands of files without something like Total Commander couldn't be successful.
Wasted time is reading superfluous reposts of meaningless and factually wrong posts.

Though open source is a way of life in many companies, the GPL still inspires hesitancy -- for surprising reasons. "You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License"

One of the cool things that Microsoft announced at BUILD is that they are joining the Internet of Things trend. Windows on Devices was announced which will enable developers to write apps for all kind of electronic items. Developers can build a smart coffee mug, talking bear, robots, etc, based on this platform. Intel’s Galileo platform will act as developmental hardware. Now, Microsoft is giving away Intel Galileo board to developers who sign up for the program. Probably US only (and sorry if that's the case)

FREE Microsoft eBooks! Who doesn’t love FREE Microsoft eBooks? Well, for the past few years, I’ve provided posts containing almost 150 FREE Microsoft eBooks and my readers, new and existing, have loved these posts so much that they downloaded over 3.5 Million free eBooks as of last June, including over 1,000,000 in a single week last year (and many, many more since then).

Long enough title there, isn't it? I guess he's an "SEO Expert"

Well, this link works. The one in the email just went to a "Group not found" page.

Odd, seeing as how they were entered at the same time. I wonder if it's getting truncated somewhere. Just updated it and same problem.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll see if I can figure out what the problem is with the newsletter one.

Were you testing limits or something?
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Me? No, but that author sure was. He found the limit of our redirect URLs at the very least.

Is it still paranoia if everyone really is watching you? Most of us are likely aware at this point that unless we take some fairly extensive precautions, we’re always being watched in one way or another while browsing the Web. What you might not be aware of, however, is the shocking number of services that monitor us on nearly every website we visit. "Sometimes paranoia's just having all the facts."

I've used Ghostery for a long time. It was interesting at first and then I couldn't be bothered any more...
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Want to bet the free tool is loaded with malware?

Ghostery's awesome. I've got it running all the time. Once you figure out you can disable the annoying popup, it's remarkably unobtrusive.

Failing fast and often is one of the encouraged practices for agile teams. Sander Hoogendoorn, author of the This is Agile book discusses on his blog the importance of having a strategy that helps you on the decision of aborting a project by assuming its failure on an early stage. I should be *a genius*!

|
There is no failure.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
Fail fast, fail small, fail early.
That middle part is very important yet often omitted - in practice in programming this tends to mean "fail in unit test" or "fail to compile", but "fail to explain on the whiteboard" is probably the earliest and cheapest failure in Agile development.

In about 10 years, we're likely to have digitally connected cars, smart homes, as well as refrigerators and dishwashers that can think for themselves. DEC is making a comeback?

Yeah, the hackers will have a field day.
