Two disjoint, technology-revolving rants:

Part A: If you tell somebody that has to use your computer that Firefox will save their session, restore it when you start it up again and show you what they’ve done… and you did instruct them to use IE7 [for the one or two sites they visit anyway]… and they still insist on doing it… should you feel awkward if they don’t do that?

I know not everybody has to like or play well with technology. I’ve made my peace with that [but hey, they won't be part of no army of mine.] But you design a simple system for them to follow. You do your best to accommodate them without changing too many things for yourself [granted, my Firefox is significantly modified to suit my habits - it has no buttons and only the address toolbar and tab view.] In vain.

And to think they make basic computing skills a prerequisite for most jobs.

Part B: If you’re useless to a project, please don’t try to push yourself in front. We’ll carry your weight - since we have to - but please don’t make us loathe ourselves for it. Go hunt a comma misplacement in a phile and shut up.
