Many of my colleagues are on Christmas leave till New Year.
Please suggest a good way to pass time. 
I tried this[^].
Suggest me something better.

Yeah!! Looks Good.
Thank you.

To increase your pessimism regarding the future of the next generation of programmers, and, thus, increase your pride at being the self-motivated lifelong-learner you are ... or, are committed to become ...
Come over to the QA forums, here, and answer some questions.

I'm going to suggest something completely ridiculous.
Since you're at work you could try passing time with... Doing actual work?
Nevermind, now that I'm reading this it sounds even sillier than when it was still in my head

Yeah, I'm off until Monday.
Spent the last few hours at work just looking kind of busy as I just finished a customer call and I didn't feel like starting anything new

I am on my last week at a Job and am buzzing through free code camp for sh*t and giggles!

According to a recent Insider article, you should be refactoring!

I'll check those links.  It's a little boring here as well...and I'm supposed to be doing documentation.

These guys claim that microprocessors put electrical noise on the lines in your home and especially the lines in your business.
I have never heard of such a thing.
But then, there's a lot I don't know.
This is the: Two Minute YouTube Video[^] that presents a simplified science view of their stuff.
They claim that their device takes an ugly noisy 60 Hz line and changes it back into a smooth nearly pure signal again, with the result being lower electrical bills.
I will thank anyone who really knows about electricity for an opinion on this.

The point is lower power bills?
BULL. SH*T.
The real point is giving them the money you're supposed to be saving.

(In a few words...Harmonics are created on a line, because different devices draw current in different patterns...It is true that at certain level harmonics need more current, but simply 'removing' those harmonics can not help...The most common solution in case of know difference between devices is to connect them to different power sources...)

Surely a harmonic would be a multiple of the base fequency, i.e. 60Hz in this case. The term is incorrectly used. They should be talking about noise which has been added to the line because of incorrectly suppressed equipment.
Computer noise would be a very low level signal superimposed on the a.c. waveform and would not affect the power factor, carbon footprint or any of the other items mentioned in this nonsense.
The most significant source of line noise is usually an electric carbon brush motor, such as an electric drill. This noise should be treated at source as it may interfere with sensitive equipment, e.g. computers.
Conclusion, the correct term for this product is B.S.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
