MC Fruit Stripe posted:Someone recently posted that it was actually a bug in the Win95 days, but that seems like the kind of thing that is easy to claim is true because who's checking that? My money says who cares. On very low RAM systems that were also running a high resolution (8 MB or so at 1280x1024 say) yes having the screen filled would cause some minor problems. But when you're doing that, the computer's already running really slow from being just a step over minimum RAM, so, anything can tip the scales there really.

ratbert90 posted:It's just a pointer to a pointer to a pointer. Well, yeah, I was more asking if there are any operations any operating system regularly runs on files in the desktop that are O(n) or worse and would unexpectedly make the computer run slower in my stupid, contrived example. I imagine stuff sorting 4 billion files (if you've got automatically sort on) would actually slow down your computer noticeably over having the same amount of files tucked away in a folder you never access. Come to think of it, based on the state of some of my friend's desktops the 4 billion files example isn't really that contrived.

Subject: URGENT print on color copier Hi Bob – I’ve attached a worksheet from the “H” drive – can you have it printed on the color copier & then put in my mail folder? There are 2 sheets that need to be printed. If you would let me know once the sheets have been printed as I need to go in & remove the color before I proceed with my project here in xxxxxxx. Thx.

MF_James posted:He apparently wants it printed, in color, emailed to him, notified of the email, and then he's going to strip the color from it. Right, because the person doesn't understand that once you email a file to someone, it doesn't really matter what they do to it, your copy isn't going to change.

He is going to make the document black + white to continue working on it but wants a color copy on hand. Basically he wants you to print a thing for him, possibly because he does not know how.

I assume we're doing this: http://www.goleansixsigma.com/how-to-easily-apply-5s-to-your-work-station/ I dunno about you but I tend to keep my desk tidy and organised anyway and I don't need some sigma belt to figure it out. The very nature of our work precludes standardising to the degree required so I dunno what the gently caress we're gonna do once we pass step 3.

Lean Six Sigma Stations posted:5S is a fundamental pillar of a Lean deployment. The 5S exercise captures core principles of the Lean philosophy that facilitate the extension and development of a lasting lean implementation. Think of it as the foundation upon which a house is built upon. While some think of it as a spring cleaning, and position it as such, it is much more. Rather than think of it as a onetime event or something that is done once a year, think of it as the beginning of a culture and process that enables the pursuit and elimination of waste from your organization. - See more at: What a load of horseshit; I have two asymmetrical monitors and have a variety of papers, cables, and piles of techno crap on desk at any one time.

And it was started as a way to perfect manufacturing processes so defects were "six sigma" or more or less 1 for every million. Jack Welch (GE) is the one responsible for it mutating to the unholy abomination it is today. It is such an unwieldily and unmanageable process philosophy, I can't believe anyone is using and keeping a straight face. SOURCE: used to work for Motorola.

I imagine it'd nuke the unused icons cleanup wizard at least. Well, if a lot of the stuff on the desktop linked to a network location I could see it slowing it down. Heck, because I have some network locations on my desktop, that desktop toolbar is always slow to open the first time of the day (at least I think that's why it takes 30 seconds or so to show me the contents)

If they really wanted to improve our productivity they'd invest in a document management system instead of making us organise our desks. Our project 'indexes' are Excel sheets that rely on people not loving up our janky numbering system and actually saving stuff in the correct directories. So much time lost because people have named poo poo wrong, saved it in the wrong place, or some combo of both. I've done it too, it only takes one fat-fingered document number to make it a PITA to find in a directory with 100's of files.
