Good Cop Bad Cop
By Stephen Bucaro
Are you a manager who's wondering why other department managers don't have the
same personnel problems you have? Are you a supervisor whose manager thinks you
can't control the workers under you? In this article, I reveal a technique used
by shrewd managers and their supervisors to maximize the performance of the
personnel in their department.
- Note, if your rank is below the supervisory level, please discontinue reading
this article. This information is for managers and supervisors eyes only.
First, let's put a foundation under the information you are about to receive.
The most difficult, complex, and critical resource to control in any organization
is not the business process, not the materials, not the technology -- it's the people.
People are much more complicated to deal with than even the most advanced technology.
The biggest budget item for any business is labor costs and the cost of employee benefits.
A business that doesn't get maximum performance from their people resources has little
chance of survival.

Use Escape to Replace Dangerous Characters
By Stephen Bucaro
There are certain situations in Java Script programming where we can run into a
problem storing or passing data. Those situations call for the use of the "escape"
functions. For example, to store data in a browser cookie we can create a cookie
with the statement shown below.
document.cookie = "cookieName=cookievalue";
If the cookie string contains the characters ? = , ; : or spaces and tabs, that
will cause problems. To store data containing these characters in a cookie, use the
escape() function as shown below.
document.cookie = escape("cookieName=cookievalue");
The escape() function will replace all non-alphanumeric characters (except @ * - + . / _)
with their hexadecimal equivalents. This is demonstrated with the code shown below.

The Fedora 3 Linux File Structure
By Stephen Bucaro
Linux is the enterprise operating system of choice. For over 14 years, Linux has
proven itself to be stable and secure. Now, millions of PC users, frustrated with
the poor reliability and abusive product activation scheme of Windows, are switching
to Linux for their desktop operating system. And, the best part is that Linux is free
to use at home, at school, or in your place of business, and you can freely give
copies to your friends.
You'll feel more comfortable using Linux if you understand its file system. Like
any operating system, the Linux file system is organized in a hierarchical
structure where a "directory" can contain files or other directories, which in
turn can can contain other files or directories.
Unlike Windows, Linux doesn't use drive letters. The storage of all media is
organized as directories under the root of the file system, which is named "/"
(forward slash). Unlike Windows, which uses "back-slashes", Linux directory names
in a file path are separated by forward slashes.
- Linux, like the Internet, uses forward slashes in file paths. The use of
back-slashes in file paths by Windows is incompatible with the Internet and has
resulted in all kinds of complexities and problems when converting Window's file
paths for the Internet.
