National data privacy law coming; Big Brother, already here

National data privacy law coming; Big Brother, already here

It would be nice to be able to contact companies and ask "What information do you have about me?" It would be nicer still to also be able to say "Yeah, you don't need to be keeping that. Delete it."

And if it doesn't become the law to be able to do that, it'll make a great business!

Excel Recalculates Zero

Microsoft Excel has recalculated the value of zero.

Zero is now equal to 3.55271E-14.

Not always. And I can't tell you why except it has to do with how the calculated cell is formatted.

If you sort it, it acts like zero.

But, it is not zero. Zero looks like this: "0"

Good 'ole Excel.

Changing the way we see the world.
