According to a poll at Framework Programme Sevent (FP7) group on LinkedIn, Horizon 2020 (http://ec.europa.eu/research/horizon2020) may include a cost model change to cover 100% of all direct costs, but limit the overhead rate to a flat 20%.   From my perspective this is a change for the better: • now some research organizations’ bureaucratic mechanisms [...]

Just installed Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) Release Candidate (RC), found the link at: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/hardware/internet-explorer-9-rc-available-for-download/11349 Was amazed by it’s performance and clean GUI (especially the choice to move the yellow warning bar to the bottom and make it of smaller width than the browser window in order to be more noticeable). Do visit http://www.beautyoftheweb.com to explore [...]

Bug: “The disk is full” at base.bundle.js of #NewTwitter

Sometime ago I got the above error screen (after clicking on the error notice at the statusbar) on IE8/Vista at the new Twitter UI (aka #NewTwitter).

Bug: Microsoft Office (2007) Diagnostics misleading summary view
23 Νοεμβρίου 10 02:30 πμ | Μπιρμπίλης Γεώργιος | 0 σχόλια   

At Office (2007) Diagnostics tests I’d expect more fine-grained status codes (rather than a mere “Completed”) so that the Summary view wouldn’t mislead you to think all the identified problems have been corrected.
