I posted a question[^], as i got a solution for that i guess it wasn't that bad. Now i see again someone who jsut votes the question and the solution with a 1 Star rating.
Why? Can't you just leave that and go bully someone else?

Yep... QA has a few phantom downvoters hanging around.
I personally think you asked a great question - it wasn't "Give me codez!!", it was "Could someone point me in the right direction?"
Upvoted. 
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A.

Thanks, i find it sad that some people tend to just downvote. I mean the solution was very helpful and it got solved. So why bothering voting it down?

I agree. However, every time someone you complaining you just draw attention to the fact, and give more fuel to these idiots, as they can see how well they are winding you up. Forget about votes (up or down) and just enjoy all the good things this site has to offer.

It's the fact that someone thinks your question or answer is shite, without giving a valid reason. One of the reasons I spend ZERO time in Q&A.

Why care? The people whose opinion I value will always tell me when my answer is no good and I am happy to accept their comments or criticisms. The pond life that down vote without comment can be ignored, they do me no harm.

Whilst I agree it certainly wasn't a bad question, and not really worth a downvote, the problem with people who just want "pointed in the right direction" is that as soon as you point them they reply with "can you give me codez pls?" I know that's tarring everyone with the same brush, but meh.

Maybe it's all your begging for pity upvotes that irates someone

I guess they changed it because as of now, there is only 1 "3" and 9 "5"s on the question and the solution has 10 "5"s.
I didn't down vote you but I can tell you it is rather annoying when people complain about it. I have a feeling many do so just because they know there will be pity up-votes.
I suggest ignore all points. You aint going to beat SA or OG anyway so move on.

OK, so a puddle in Newcastle became "an internet sensation" : Telegraph[^] - and was on the BBC breakfast news.
But... Look at the article. A bottle of the water is selling for £11?
No... it's up to £65,900[^] - O. M. G.
I knew the internet was full of idiots, but...: doh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Puddle - I couldn't work out what the story was before I got bored and clicked away, as for the water, 3 idjits decided to play silly buggers with the bidding, nothing unusual there.

Well, that's just wrong. It should have been preserved for heritage at one of Newcastle's many fine museums!

The company I work for is in the process of switching from our old internally hosted MS Exchange Server 2003 to Google Business accounts. Our IT department is proceeding person by person, department by department. They haven't reached my department yet but its imminent.
I'm a long time Gmail / Google Drive user for my personal stuff and will want to access the new business account on all my various business devices (Win 7 PC & iPhone) as well as my personal devices (iPad, iMac & Chromebook) but still keep my personal Google account available on all devices. Likely won't be a problem...
Has anybody already gone through this particular conversion? Any words of wisdom?

I already do.
Surely our 13 year old Exchange server was a sieve.

Interesting - we went the other way. We used Google Business email (with Outlook integration) when we were a startup and switched to MS Exchange when we were acquired. For a couple of months we worked in hybrid mode, which was surprisingly painless.

I'm not aware of all the reasons for our change other than Exchange Server 2003 has some serious limitations and the cost to upgrade to Exchange Server 2016 was elephanting outrageous.
I'm sure our CIO looked at quite a few options before pulling this particular trigger.

Yes, IMHO MS licensing tends to favor large enterprise clients.

We made this switch in 2012, replacing in-house Exchange-clone servers (Zarafa). It's been great in terms of taking the job of maintaining mail servers away from our limited IT team.
We made things unnecessarily hard for ourselves by not training or supporting users properly. I encourage you to invest in training up a few people at least, who can then support their colleagues.
Most important point - if you do everything in Google Apps via the web, you will experience happiness (after the initial pain of adjustment). If you try to use Outlook (or to a lesser extent IMAP clients), or the Google drive sync tool, or any other non-web tools, you will experience pain. The Google Apps Sync for MS Outlook is at best a sticking plaster. Do not rely on it long term. Especially since those who cling to Outlook will be the power users (probably your senior sales people and C-level execs) who will have the greatest trouble with GASMO.
The exception here - the Active Directory sync tools work very well.
Our company now splits into those who love GMail, a large number who don't really care either way, and a small number of Outlook zealots who hate it with a passion. If you want the migration to be successful, IMO you must mandate an end-date for Outlook and move everyone to the web clients. Support them with training, tips, hand-holding, bribes, whatever, but just do it.
Oh, and the multiple-account support of Google stuff on web and Android phones is pretty much universally awesome. You should have no problems there. Everyone else should learn from how well this works. I suggest making use of the multiple users feature in Chrome, although you can usually switch within each app too.

We made the switch a few years ago and I agree with everything above. It was a pretty smooth transition, it's great not having to deal with an Exchange server anymore, and everyone I work with loves it now.
Just about everything allows multiple logins - Gmail, Drive, Calendar, etc., even their mobile aps -- so you can use your personal and work accounts at the same time with no problem.
I also agree that you should get everyone on the web clients. I don't even install Outlook on anyone's machines anymore.

I'm curious what you've ran into? I've been accessing my personal gmail using Outlook (via imap) for most of the last decade and never had any major problems.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
