I might put off the decision making of the Document Recovery task too often, but as a result I've noticed how often I have to thoughtfully select 'Yes' before closing Excel/Word. If the default were 'Yes, I want to view this files later." then I could just click OK.

This default seems to go against the norm in software of making the user actively select delete/remove.

I was hoping to get some suggested sites or books I could use to do more with our Analytics. I do not have a statistics background, but I work in an area where ideas backed up by data get a lot further than just an idea. I've been doing the best I can with excel's basic formulas to try and gain better insights from our Analytics, but I feel like I could do more than just averages and such, when we have a huge range of data. I know there are ways to remove/exclude outliers or compartmentalize our analytic data, but I'm not sure where I should start.

I would appreciate any suggested reading for someone (novice) who is trying to improve their data analysis skills, specifically as they pertain to the basic web analytics data set.

I'd love to hear from anyone that has been involved in the development of these new exchanges. One of those posts on the technology stack or high scalability posts would be great. I've read so much about them and the influx of people their expecting, and I'm tired of the major media spin on their flaws. Would love some first hand material out there, but I haven't seen anything.

Call me a child of the American media's fear tactics, but this well publicized story of Matt Honan's hack has me questioning my backup techniques of personal files (pictures, music, important family legal docs, tax data, etc...).

Currently I have one hard drive on my home Windows 7 desktop machine, with dropbox sync setup to mirror certain folders and then I use Google Drive for most of my pictures and media sorts. Now I am thinking I need a local option, something fully under my control (and unfortunately my responsibility).

With so many options out there, I wanted to see what the users of Hacker News were doing with their personal files, outside of the plethora of cloud solutions. Thanks!
