Sometimes, when you want to open your PDF or Word documents at others’ computer but unfortunately the comuter doesn’t have such application to open them (although this is very rare case).
So, what you going to do? If your document is PDF format, you may download Foxit Reader to open it. But if the document is [...]
Monsieur Dickson has prodded me into posting Philip Virgo's conclusions on 'Why government IT constantly fails', an article hidden behind a content firewall and in PDF in CapGemini's magazine Transformation. Jeez, why don't I do Huge Corp CapGemini's job for them and publish the whole thing ... 'transformation' my arse !;]Take it away Philip (his bolds):What are the lessons? The most important i
The responses on the British Medical Journal (BMJ) website are mounting up to the 'search and suicide' research they published and which I dissembled.I mentioned before how a Japanese researcher responded about how they are using the web to directly intervene - Outreach in the Real World - here's a bit more detail. (NB: The BMJ may force you to sign up to view these responses in full).Not only are online approaches expanding, but outreach-based interventions in the real world are expanding as well. The "Guidelines for Response to Advance Suicide Warning Cases on the Internet," released in October 2005, includes a statement that Internet community organizations can disclose the content of private communications to a third party in emergency situations. As a result, the National Public Safet
The other day Vanity Fair’s site put up photos of the festivities at the post-WHCA-dinner bash at Christopher Hitchens and Carol Blue’s apartment in Kalorama. Pamela Anderson and Heidi Montag are absent, but the pix are must viewing nonetheless, for here’s your once-in-a-lifetime chance to tell your grandchildren you beheld Hitch - or his digital image, [...]
Following my quite stroppy contact with the British Medical Journal (BMJ)'s Editor, my response has finally been published with one element removed because "it is damning the research in an unverifiable way".It is notable that in a comment on my blog (paulcanning.me.uk) Graham Jones who runs the Internet Psychology web site said that he'd met some people who were connected to the research and "they were suitably embarrassed in private when I pointed out the simple flaws in the research".I'm told that it took so long because they needed to check every single line "as we are liable for anything posted on our website". That paragraph is certainly unverifiable by them, unless they contact Graham, but it's also the sort of thing which might well upset the privately embarrassed.Because I could o
You know, it's been a long time since I had those posters of Bret Michaels (amongst others) on my bedroom walls. But this week, he impressed me. First he goes and picks a seemingly normal (and age appropriate!) non-stripper girl on Rock of Love, and then he admits that his hair is at least partially fake.

Oh yey of little faith ... my comments on the BBC Internet blog about embedding video have (had) appeared. I took the '502' error to mean failure but, natch, there's the comment after all as I think 'I wonder if anyone else got through with this point ... ' And there's the response from John O'Donovan to my point, and the same from others:You will be able to embed video on other sites but we need to work out some issues with how this will work. In particular, you may not be aware that the player has to support advertising when someone is using it outside the UK and also has to restrict some content to UK users only. This causes a few complications, but rest assured, it will be possible to link to and embed video directly. We will take on feedback about how this user journey works to ensure

Last year, I blogged about my journal entry from 9/11, and my memories of that crazy, crazy day. But two weeks ago, I was reminded of a funny thing that I left out of my account. I had forgotten that when we were all huddled up in my friend's apartment in Cleveland Park, watching CNN, her toilet was not functioning properly. The maintenance guy came up to fix it, but told her there was nothing wrong. My friend got annoyed and started arguing with him, while the rest of us sat around looking very uncomfortable. Eventually, she threatened to have us all pee in the toilet then and there. Another friend broke the stunned silence by loudly protesting "But I don't have to pee." Despite everything, we laughed about it that day, and we continue to laugh about it now -- at least when we remember. When it happened, it was a respite from unthinkable tragedy. Today, it's just better than thinking about Bin Laden tapes, the war in Iraq, or even the offensive truck I saw driving around m
I really appreciated all the thought-provoking comments I received on my recent post, Give Dawkins Money or You're Not a Real Atheist. However, a few of the comments and some of the e-mail I received indicate that additional clarification might be beneficial. I am saddened to receive correspondence suggesting that my disagreement with either Richard Dawkins or PZ Myers is somehow harming the atheist movement. This sounds dogmatic, and this is something I think we need to avoid.First things first, I have the greatest respect and admiration for PZ Myers. I have a category in my RSS aggregator called "Best of the Best," and Paryngula is one of only four feeds there. When I am running short on time, these are the feeds I check first. I commend PZ for putting a public face on atheism because I know what courage this takes.Having said this, I do not necessarily agree with everything PZ says. We are not the same person, and it seems absurd to expect that we would agree on everything. In fact

It looked like the game was being played on Seattle's rain-swept Quest Field. However, I was personally glad to see the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince, get all soaky with purple rain. I've never been able to figure the deal with that guy (though I did like the dancers in the boots and minis).He is certainly the world's most supremely self-absorbed celeb, with the possible exception of Donald Trump. And yuck -the phallic hieroglyphic stage and guitar-all of which is the cosmic symbol of the artist formerly known as...But perhaps it is appropriate the self-indulgent rips serenaded us during this bankrupt fairy tale. You see, I think it is nice the guy formerly known as the greatest quarterback never to win a Super Bowl, finally got the notch in his belt. But the bad guys won.Though these Colts wear the same uniform as the old Baltimore Colts, they are not the mythical team of Johnny Unitas. In 1983 they snuck out in the middle of the night, and re
