Let's write software that people
understand.
The work that Diasparsoft did for us was outstanding. We are now using the software on a daily basis and their work could well have a dramatic impact on the Reds' organization in the near future. —Cincinnati Reds Baseball Club.
I saw this while downloading NeoOffice/J 1.2 beta:
Warning: all NeoOffice development and testing is done by volunteers so there are always some missing features and bugs.

If you're seen or heard Eddie Murphy's Raw, then you know what comes next.
I recently re-read the front page of Gervase Bushe's Appreciate Inquiry page. The essential premise seems to be that we can improve our environment in part by focusing on what we want more of, instead of focusing on the problems and how to fix them. There is, however, a problem I wish we could easily fix.
At Nutrimental Foods, the factory closed its doors for four days and brought together all 750 employees, the company's leadership, and 100 customers to create a new business model. A year later, profits were up over 200 percent and absenteeism dropped 300 percent. AI is now this company's annual way of planning.
Stunning! So if the company had 1000 absentee days the first year, did they have -2000 absentee days the next year?
This ranks up there with equating 3 times as much with "300% more". A little functional numeracy out there would be swell.
