Illustrations of the People Who Want You to Work For Free
"For Exposure" is a series of illustrations by Toronto's Emmie Tsumura based on tweets from @forexposure_txt, a twitter account that compiles quotes from real people seeking free work from artists.
Commissioned by Format Magazine, the hilarious project puts imagined faces to some all-too-real requests. Check out more images below!
- Alberto H.
That reminds me this add in a "successful Ottawa Contractor company"
"…will have the opportunity to expand their skills in photography, explore interior design and other areas of interest within the company, and further develop and diversify their portfolios of work."
"If you are confident that you fulfill the requirements for this position and want to join our team of fun, passionate and hardworking young professionals…"
.." this is an unpaid job. Successful candidates may have the opportunity for future employment however there is no guarantee.."
ads like this are everywhere!
- Mr Fun
'Professionals' who work for free. Of course!
- michaeljpatrick
If the exposure from your project is high enough that it's as good as money then you are successful enough to pay.
If it isn't then you aren't successful enough to promise exposure.
perfectly put
Brilliant – I may need to copy and paste this as a response to the emails I get each week!
- Kundan Chhabra
Yeah. The thing is: even Oprah didn't pay her artists, the live dancers for her tour. And she got under fire for it and still didn't pay them. It doesn't make it right of course. Artists need to get paid.
Pretty sure you're both saying the same thing, just in different ways. He was just making a point that if you can't pay a worker, then you're clearly not a big enough success to give them any sort of popularity.
- kanuut
Only time it's alright to not get paid/pay (I've been on both ends) is when it's volunteer or the offer/advertisement has stated that it's non paying (like community events some bands near me play at, they do actually do it "for exposure" but they sign up to play with the words "not for pay" directly ab2the phone number)
- Zach Stevenson
That's a genius reply!
- budkin
- archana
Thank you for this!
Wow, love this useful insight, from Michael.
It directly answers one of logomyth's comments by Peter Butler (Branding & Marketing designer, Urban Creatives):
"I've had many people approach me with the whole 'if you create my logo or brand identity, I cannot pay but I promise I will give you exposure…'"
I will surely feature both of you guys (because Michael's comment directly (and coincidentally) answers Peter's worry).
Thanks Michael.
(Michael, please you can check logomyth's post at 1:30 am on Twitter & Instagram @logomyth)

"Can you make that exposure out directly to my landlord?"
This had me laughing out loud! Brilliant.
Especially the guy who mentions YouTube – I can picture him perfectly haha.
- Kimi
That's my favourite one
Great article, loved the illustrations!
I cannot count the amount of times I've been told I charge too much for digital work because it's not valuable like traditional mediums. It's a shame people are so ignorant about how much time and effort goes into digital formats, but nothing will ever change. :'D
- Evilyne
Also paint and canvas costs money, but computers and software are free right?
Actually, computers are "free-ish", the same way that digital cameras are "free-ish". You need to buy a new canvas and use non-reusable paint every time you make a new traditional painting, whereas with a computer or a digital camera you just need the first investment.
Most people have a computer at home for other purposes, so they wouldn't understand this argument: "I already have a maxed-out computer to play WhateverGameWithZombiesInIt, I can use that to draw too so it's not a new expense and that's valid for you as well".
- Karen
But you can't draw pictures in microsoft word, or even microsoft paint. Those art and illustrating programs (and tablets to use a digital pen) are neither cheap nor free.. Photoshop is a few grand, even the basic elements program is over $100, you need the right gear to get the right finish.(that's why they aren't doing it themselves). Time is also not free or unlimited no matter how you try to spin that.
Photoshop is not a few grand. Myself I pay 12 bucks a month for Photoshop & lightroom and another 20 for Illustrator.
Apart from that, I know time is not free nor unlimited. I know too that because I work with Photoshop and Illustrator for a living, and I know how time-consuming it is. But I remember being younger and living with my parents and working from home, and my sweet old dad telling me I should stop playing games and look for a job. See, we know it's work. For most of them is just something we like to do and we don't deserve get paid for dicking around in computers.
It's our job to teach them the opposite.
- Animation_Director
"You must do it be because you love it and not for the money"
Yeah, ok, here's the deal. I do my own personal projects for the "love" of the art. I do client work for "the money". I provide a service, you pay me for it, it's how I make a living.
If I wanted to do something for free I'd just work on my own projects where I have 100% creative control instead of working on your cruddy web show where you give me a 20 page list of notes on the color of your character's shoes.
- Marcos Ruiz
But it is a Banner for the church. God will repay you in blessings…
- kanuut
Couldn't they get someone from the church to do it? Obviously people who goto church are going to value the blessings more won't they?
Excellent! It's crazy to see how far are some people from the reality. I thought that in 2016, things like this would not exist… But you always have some crazy who tried to exploit you for free… *sigh*

Unfortunately, there's a lot more than "a few"

The midwest U.S is a vast wasteland of uneducated, ignorant business owners who want to pay nothing for their corporate identity – while at the same time (on some level) realize that it's their face to the world at large and is pretty important. A giant cognitive dissonance happening with people who have degrees, make more than 100K a year, etc… it is rather sad. They want to make top dollar, but seemingly don't want other professionals to make a dime. The "me" generation and their children…

"Money hunger" you mean real, actual hunger, because food is not free?

- SuZieCoyote
Just say no. Really simple. If they keep it up, say no again. "I don't work for free."
- johnnyboyjohn
If EVERY graphic designer would say no, this wouldn't happen. The problem is, some say yes and then we all get a reputation for working for cheap/free.
- Tomspy77
Pretty much my writing right here…
Mh, I never say it did. Of course, I understand that because I'm an artist of sorts myself (Photographer, graphic designer and writer)… but do THEY understand that? It's one of our jobs, teaching them this.
- tomjones
3/4 of my clients are non-profits and they all want "discounted service". I explain that my prices are already reasonable and there's no reason to go any lower. On top of that, as long time cients, I don't charge rush fees. I even came in last Sunday to finalize approval on a print job client needed by Thursday at no additional expense. Had a woman about a month ago wanted a logo, website and brochure "professionally" designed. I offered her a package price (prepaid) of $1,250 (two rounds of comps on logo and brochure and she gets to pick one of our free WP templates) for the entire project and said we would have everything done in two weeks. She got all pissy and said she would give me $750 and I had to have everything designed and uploaded/printed by the end of the week.
If I wanted exposure, I would take up streaking.
- scrim
ironically these illustrations were probably done for free and are being used by this blog to make them money…
Here's some snappy comebacks from an article on such problems…
• When they say: "I don't have any money now but we'll all make money in the future!"
You reply: "I hope it's by December 21st of this year because the world is going to end and money and websites won't stop the searing pain of death we'll all feel!"
• When they say: "If you do this for free now, I'll consider you my in-house designer later!"
You reply: "But will you consider me something even more special?" (wink and blow a kiss).
• When they say: "I can get an art student to do this for free!"
You reply: "Well, if they were like me in art school, better catch them between tokes on the crack pipe!"
• When they say: "This will be a great opportunity for you to gain a terrific portfolio piece!"
You reply: "I was actually hoping for a great sexual opportunity!"
• When they say: "If my clients like your design, I'll throw some money your way."
You reply: "Great! I hope it's enough to buy some of my anti-psychotic meds because I need them soon… REALLY soon!" (start to twitch).
• When they say: "I'll pay you, depending on the quality of the finished project."
You reply: "And if it's bad quality, do I get a special naughty-boy/girl spanking?" (then breath heavily).
• When they say: "I have lots of rich friends and they'll see your design and want you to work for them!"
You reply: As a sex slave, I hope!"
• When they say: "I'm your uncle's friend. Don't I get the family rate?"
You reply: As long as you're not a registered sexual offender, too!"
- Katblu
Hmmmm….you seem to have a sexual obsession….
Who doesn't?
YAY! Exposure RICH!
- Holly Sterling
This is brilliant! I shared it with my design students at TXState. I'm the Internship Coordinator and I get this…completely…

When ever I roll out fondant I usually use powder sugar so it does not stick, but there is always alot of it left on the fondant. How do I prevent this from happening?
I roll fondant out on a vinyl or silicone mat with a swipe of crisco--no dust, no fuss. PS makes it sticky and CS makes it dry, so I avoid the powders all together.
You can also clean the cake off with lemon extract or vodka. Some decorators use an airbrush but I don't have one so I use a paintbrush. Since the alcohol content is so high it dries quickly and gives a clean finish.
I use cornstarch, but once I have the fondant on the cake and all smoothed out I buff it with the palm of my hand (I don't generally use fondant smoothers), and that takes care of it! Anything left is usually absorbed while the cake sits in the fridge or when I give it the final pearl airbrush finish.
I also use cornstarch and have no issues with dust at all. It brushes right off and never gives me any issues. Maybe since the powdered sugar is...sugar, it tends to stick more.
I need to add cornstarch to my grocery list.
Im going to try CS next time too, Will it work the same on chocMMF? I never know how to make the chocMMF look "clean".
Well, I don't use MMF so I can't vouch for how it works on MMF but you could give it a try. I would imagine the result would be similar. I use cornstarch on all colors of fondant. I just did a cake where there were all sorts of colors and details used (including chocolate brown and black) but I never had a problem with dusty fondant! Just a quick brushing off and it is gone.
Im going to try CS next time too, Will it work the same on chocMMF? I never know how to make the chocMMF look "clean".
Although I never use any powders for rolling (no benefits that I can see, and therefore, not worth the mess), I have seen people roll chocolate fondant out on cocao powder.
I roll my fondant on silicone mat and I rub my hands and the mat with a little bit of crisco, but if you like the sugar or the CS just use a pastry brush and that's it.
I hope It help.
I am going to try the CS, but Im curious about the crisco. Do you still flip the fondant after each roll? Does it make it sticky? I will use this method when I use chocMMF.
Personally I do not flip it each roll, sometimes I do like 2 o 3 times (when I use crisco) and then flip it, it doesn't make it sticky I use little by little (as need the crisco) and is my favorite method to roll the gumpaste or MMF.
I hope this can help you

Datsun had launched its modern product in India a while ago in the form of its GO hatchback. The vehicle was launched targeting new and youth buyers in India. The GO has been priced aggressively and is a tough competitor to its segment leader.
Nissan is the parent company of Datsun and several other automotive brands. The Japanese automobile giant had strategically re-introduced the Datsun brand in India. Nissan knew it was important to have a strong footstep in the world fastest growing automobile markets.
Datsun have introduced a new TVC in India, attempting to change the perspective of Indian car buyers. They smartly used the 'Nayi Parampara' theme for its hatchback commercial. In the advert you will notice several Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai small car owners envying the Datsun GO owner.
Datsun India's commercial features Alok Nath a.k.a. 'Babuji' and Ayushmann Khurrana, who plays the young Indian. The TVC has a catchy tune, which goes on as " O Babuji, kya dekhte ho, yahi hai Nayi Parampara".
The 'Nayi Pramapara' commercial highlight features of GO hatchback. Datsun claim their hatchback to be more stylish, agile and packed with performance, when compared to its rivals.
The GO by Datsun sports a 1198 cc DOHC with Dual VTVT engine. It produces maximum power of 67 bhp, along with a peak torque output of 104 Nm. The Japanese manufacturer have provided a manual 5-speed gearbox and deliver a fuel efficiency figure of 20.63 kpl.
The hatchback has been priced starting at INR 3,12,000 to 3,79,000 ex-showroom, New Delhi. Datsun offers its GO in four option, which are priced aggressively. The manufacturer had planned to sell 5,000 vehicles on a monthly basis, however, they have not achieved it so far.

The Elegance pellet gasifier, first created in 2015, is the latest among 11 different versions of biomass gasifier that CCS has been developing for the last 6 years. This gasifier applies the forced draft to both primary and secondary air. The Elegance stove is a micro gasifier. The stove is based on the Top Lid-Updraft (TLUD) principle, and has a batch operation. The stove is optimized for wood pellet gasification but other biomass fuels, like small branches or woodchips can also be used without the fan. The fan enables mixing of the forced primary and secondary air flows resulting in a cleaner and more exhaustible combustion. The produced gas is burned on top of the burner close to the pot decreasing thermal energy loss to the environment.

Testing facts and principles
What follows is a summary of my own high level approach for testing software, this strategy is based in facts and principles.
1. It is impossible to detect all the bugs from an application.
The closer you get to 100% coverage, the harder it is to find the remaining bugs.
2. The more important bugs are in the core layer and in the integration layer (backend).
That's where the testing needs to be focus on. Core layer bugs and integration layer bugs are the most important because they create a cascade effect causing several parts of the application to fail.
3. Using UI automated tests makes harder the detection of bugs.
Even though they are still very popular, UI automated tests are not very effective finding bugs because they test the core layer and the integration layer indirectly. Testing indirectly the backend makes difficult to exercise it, and makes hard to tell where an error is coming from. It is also important to notice that UI automated tests are also slow and expensive to maintain.
4. Manual testing is still necessary.
There are some important bugs that can only be detected through manual testing, that's the case of the bugs that can be found doing usability testing and exploratory testing.
5. Testing is worthless if is not executed in a continuous basis.
What's been proven correct through testing now is going to change very soon so it will have to be proven right again. If this feedback is not fast enough, new changes won't get proven and eventually new bugs will be entered into the system.
1. Prioritize what's going to be tested.
Never have a test strategy that expects to cover 100% of the application.
2. Have as much automated tests as possible.
From your previous prioritization, automate as much as you can.
3. Schedule time for the necessary manual testing to be performed on the project.
Two of the main manual testing activities that are necessary to perform are usability testing and exploratory testing.
4. Use preferably backend automated tests instead of UI automated tests.

UI automated testing isn't supposed to test the core and integration layers… It's intended to test the UI (JavaScript, AJAX, links, etc.). It isn't a replacement for unit testing, etc.
First of all. Thanks very much for your useful post.

Braver is a deleted song from The Jungle Book 2. In the song, Shanti is in the jungle trying to prove herself that she can be brave as she searches in the jungle for Mowgli who she thinks is kidnapped by Baloo. The song was cut from the film because of time management and it gave too much away of Shanti.
Lyrics Edit
Since I'm don't know where we're going
And there might far to go
We'll imagine that I'm braver
Braver than I know
Everytime I start to tremble
Knowing this is not a dream
I'll remind ourselves I'm braver
Braver than I seem
This jungle's full of noises
And it seems to have no end
But we're not leaving
Til we find our friend
If we smile at shapes and shadows
If we laugh when lions roar
Bit by bit we grow much braver
Braver than before
When I'm standing in the sunrise
And my fearful journey's through
I'll be glad that we were braver than we knew
I'll be glad that we were braver
Braver than we knew
Braver than we knew

Security guard suspected of assaulting Mountain View woman
Published 7:00 pm, Monday, January 11, 2016
A security guard who claimed to be a police officer when helping a stranded woman and then sexually battered her has been arrested, officials said Monday.
A 22-year-old Mountain View woman was driving with a friend Saturday from downtown Palo Alto when their vehicle broke down on El Camino Real. A man who identified himself as an officer and wore a security guard uniform approached the pair in what looked like a patrol car, police said.
The security guard drove the woman home while her friend rode with a tow truck driver. Mountain View police said the security guard sexually battered the woman on the ride home.
Latest news videos
Police received a call about the case about 3:35 a.m. and were dispatched to the 500 block of South Rengstorff Avenue. Officers found a Bayside Security vehicle in the area and later saw a man in a security guard uniform walking around the woman's residence. They arrested Luis Diaz, a 31-year-old security guard from San Jose, on suspicion of sexual battery and booked him at the Santa Clara County Main Jail Complex.
Anyone with information about the incident can call (650) 903-6364. The Mountain View Police Department urged members of the public to call (650) 903-6395 if they are unsure about an officer's identity. The police department also reminded the community that officers can be identified by badges they must carry while they work.

For those who may have seen the speedy 318is "TRAKCAR" or gotten an exhilarating ride, you may know me already.
I moved here from North Carolina in 2003 after having been on the faculty of North Carolina State University. While in North Carolina, I learned how to drive on a racetrack at Virginia International Raceways. It is a fantastic racetrack, one that you all should drive if you get a chance. It was after my very first track day that I decided that my ultimate goal was to become an instructor, one that was eventually realized. I have been involved in the operation of the chapter and serve as both a contributor and editor for the Zündfolge. I will continue to write the Motorsport Column and cover various events. Another member and I have a friendly competition to see who can have the most Zündfolge cover shots!
We will be relying very heavily on getting current information to all members by using the ATS, Around the Sound, an electronic notification system. It is important that you make sure that BMW CCA National has your correct email address, as this is what we use to distribute information via ATS. Some members have told us that their ATS messages wind up in the spam folder. Check your email setting for ATS notification. In the coming years, we will be changing the format and content of the Zündfolge. Our plan is to use the ATS as the primary mechanism to announce events and provide BMW-related articles. 2016 is an important year, as it will mark the 100th year of BMW operation as a company. We will be planning special events during 2016 to celebrate the BMW marque centennial.
The future strength of the Puget Sound Chapter depends on member participation at all levels, not only track days, but taking advantage of the events advertised in the ATS.
We value constructive input from all members. If you have suggestions on how to make the Club better, please let me know. Better yet, participate in the process. Come to a board meeting and meet the members who devote their time to keep the Chapter going. Remember, the board is comprised of a group of volunteers, all with full-time jobs. The events that you see advertised in the Zündfolge and ATS are the result of a board member taking the time to organize and facilitate the event. So, check your ATS messages and the Zündfolge for coming events!
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for 2015!
Steve Libby
2015 President and Instructor

"You can't be left without insurance even if your car is 15-years-old," says Ombudsman
Reports today that two of Ireland's biggest insurance companies are refusing to cover cars 15 years and older, even if they have a valid NCT cert, has sent waves of panic through Ireland's motoring public.
Aviva and Allianz will no longer cover new customers driving cars 15 years and older because, the insurers claim, these vehicles tended to be involved in more collisions, used in fraud cases, had bald tyres and were poorly maintained.
However, a spokesman from the Financial Services Ombudsman Bureau today told The Sunday World that motorists cannot be left without insurance regardless of how old your car is.
According to the Financial Services Ombudsman Bureau If you are denied a motor quotation because of the age of your vehicle you are entitled to request a 'refusal letter' from the company.
If you get three refusal letters then the Ombudsman will contact insurers and get you a fair quote for your vehicle regardless of its age.
All insurers in Ireland operate a 'Declined Cases Agreement' which means they can't "refuse to provide insurance to an individual seeking insurance, if he/she has approached at least three insurers and has not been able to obtain cover from them."
The clampdown on older vehicles affects 250,000 Irish cars or 13 per cent of the national fleet of 1.91 million cars.
The Consumers Association of Ireland said the move would restrict competition in the market and lead to higher prices for some motorists.
"The insurance companies can determine what they want and you have to take it or leave it," chief executive Dermott Jewell said.
"When you have two of the largest withdrawing that cover, it skews the market. It reduces competition significantly, but also puts drivers in the position where, if other companies take the same view, they will load the owners of those cars, which is not fair or reasonable either."
There are still companies willing to cover older cars, like AXA, who said it had one of the widest acceptance criteria in the market and did not restrict vehicles but would seek a copy of the current NCT and FBD who claimed that the age of the vehicle was a factor, but it would not result in cover being refused.

I work at a financial firm and we have accumulated a bunch of hard drives. Some of this drives are working, some have failed, and some are VERY old.
What is the best way to dispose of and destroy these drives? Any chance of the data being retrieved is unacceptable.
Apr 1, 2009 at 8:45 UTC
Most document shredding companies have a hard drive shredder. I'd check there first.

Apr 1, 2009 at 8:49 UTC
Let us know if you find a good place to shred them cheaply...most places I've found charge $10 per drive, and when you have 100 drives needing shredded that adds up quickly...
Apr 1, 2009 at 8:51 UTC
$10 per drive? What company is that?
Our current shredding company does not offer that service...
Apr 1, 2009 at 8:58 UTC
I haven't contacted this company, but they obviously have some powerful shredders:
Apr 1, 2009 at 9:09 UTC
1st Post
I know this may sound funny but use them as stress relief. A 10 pound sledge hammer works wonders on them and you can take some frustration at users out on the drives.
Apr 1, 2009 at 9:11 UTC
I used to shoot them with my ak 47, but ammo is scarce and expensive right now.
Apr 1, 2009 at 10:53 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I used to work for a disposal firm and for hard drive "shredding " they had a simple machine that rammed a gaping hole through the middle of the drive. Not quite shreadding but quite thoroughly destroyed. Once your platters are torn up you are pretty safe!
Apr 1, 2009 at 4:26 UTC
This has been on my list for a while, so I finally just dropped all the critical stuff I was working on and did it.
Apr 1, 2009 at 4:36 UTC
Lol! You forgot to add in the price of the belt sander though...not all of us have immediate access to one of those :)
Apr 2, 2009 at 6:35 UTC
Unless I can see the unit destroyed myself, I wouldn't trust any external company with critical, private data. *
I have the following which seems to work pretty well for erasing the data on most drives:
For everything else I use the following:
*As an example, we have paper collection bins for Shred-It service in our office but I recently found out that members of our HR staff have the key to those bins "just in case". I now have my own personal shredder in my office.
Apr 2, 2009 at 7:13 UTC
I have found that a 3/8th inch drill run through the platters a few times (3 or more) will totally destroy the hard drive beyond any means of recovery. The case is mostly aluminum and easy to go through.
However the best option I ever used was in the military - melt the darn thing in a foundy - let's see you rebuild a molten hard drive
Apr 2, 2009 at 7:27 UTC
I'm with Tim. I have used a hammer or sledge to destroy any drive I need to. You have to be careful though as you will find that some drives contain glass/ceramic platters and they completely shatter when struck. A drillpress also works wonders.
Apr 2, 2009 at 8:31 UTC
Yeah lets be realistic. pounding a hard drive with a hammer is going to do the trick. By the time you hit it a few times and the platters are warped and dinged, you are beyond the chance of anyone making an attempt to recover the data. Even if they tried, they would have to own hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment to have even a slight chance of success. Alternately they could pay several thousand dollars on a gambl to send them in to a recovery company who may or may not be able to get anything useful from them. Unless you are the CIA, I wouldnt be too concerned about sending a box of hammer-treated hard drives to the recycling center :-)
Apr 2, 2009 at 10:06 UTC
I have found a 50 caliber black powder rifle more fun for the purpose, but am also testing with several other guns as well.
If we wipe them, a recycler gets them.
If the electronics are bad and we can't securely wipe them, they get a bullseye courtesy of the inner circle of a CD label and go to the range for target practice.
Apr 2, 2009 at 10:41 UTC
Obviously you guys are wiping the HD's first to the DOD standard (7 times right?) first. I work in the financial industry and my auditors told me blowing the crap out of drives with a shot gun or going to town with a hammer, drill....or yes, belt sander, is not good enough believe it or not if they are not DOD wiped first.
Apr 2, 2009 at 10:42 UTC
When we recycle PC's part of the service is HD removal. Then they run them over a high powered magnet. All DOD approved and you get a paper trail that is Gov approved. Removes you from liability. They would charge us 10 cents a pound but that was the whole PC.
Apr 2, 2009 at 2:27 UTC
I'm not trying to be a smart aleck but I live in a rural area. Every fourth house has a welder and a cutting torch. A pass or two with the torch and a dollar's worth of acetylene and oxygen would take care of it.
Apr 2, 2009 at 11:56 UTC
Datajockeys, LLC is an IT service provider.
I take them apart and use the magnets to stick the neighbors 2yr old to the fridge.
PS: According to Government Computing News you only have to write once over a drive now! Yippe! I may now get some of my life back!

Obviously, physical destruction to the drive is going to make recovery very difficult or impossible. Everyone else has done a great job covering that process with different ideas. If you want to destroy the data electronically before physical destruction try looking into DBAN: www.dban.org/download While I haven't verified the performance it seems to be a pretty reputable app. It's very easy to use and seems to cover all the bases.
Apr 3, 2009 at 2:41 UTC
Just a quick note on dban: It's SO SLOW!
Turns out that our paper shredding company DOES have a HD shredding service that, if it is not too expensive, we will be using.
Thanks to everyone for all the responses.
Apr 20, 2009 at 3:15 UTC
We use a live CD called Knoppix. It is a linux base OS that allows you to do many things including Hard Drive Shredding.

Apr 21, 2009 at 1:08 UTC
That is a good video.. too bad we do have budget to have on of those machines in office.
Mar 25, 2014 at 6:52 UTC
I know it's an ancient discussion, but the same topic applies.
I'm just working on a plan for our drives' destruction.
I got quoted the previously mentioned $10, but then got a further discount as we already do paper shredding with them too. Still, too much.
The question that I wonder about is - Is it enough documentation from us as internal workers that the drives got destroyed if we do it ourselves (DoD + steamroll or whatever other demo job).
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

I have a approximately 12 PC's that have been running nicely for about 5 years. They are still using the same software as they were when the PC's were purchased. They are configured with 512Mb RAM windows XP. Some of the spreadsheets they use have grown considerably in size since we started using pivot tables and the ACT CRM database has also grown.
They are noticeably slower than PC's bought about 6 months later that have 1Gb RAM.
The question is, would you add extra RAM to such an old PC or let them carry on until they die? Replacing 12 PC's is not an option at the moment.
RAM would be £21.65 plus VAT for 1Gb.
This is a question for all of us who don't have unlimited funds to splash around, I'm just after some general opinions from other spiceheads.

In agreement with everyone else adding RAM is a cheap boost for the PCs. If you up the RAM you may consider putting a clean install of XP on them at the same time to give them a fresh start.

Adding memory is a very cheap boost for many older systems. I tend to upgrade RAM when possible to squeeze some extra life out of them unless/until replacement is an option or they physically fail. You will easily recoup the cost of memory in gained productivity/reduced service calls for slowness.

Our workstations are on a 5 year replacement cycle. I agree with Justin, adding RAM is the best way to extend the life a computer if you must.
Aug 25, 2009 at 7:36 UTC
The PCs I use are all at least 5 years old. I purchased them off lease about 3 or 4 years ago. They each came with 515MB of ram but since then I have upgraded them all to 1GB or more and they run great.
I think it is definitely worth upgrading the ram.

Definitely. We just purchased 30 sticks of PC-100 RAM to upgrade a bunch of computers that were OEM'd with Windows 95. We installed 2000 Pro, upgraded the memory, and now we can get another two or three years out of them!
Aug 25, 2009 at 8:19 UTC
Thanks for the fast responses. You've all backed up my thoughts that even at 5 years old adding RAM is a cheap life extender.
It's nice to have the community to bounce ideas off!

Do a program assesment like this.
Windows XP (Or OS Flavor), minimum system requirements RAM, CPU Speed.
Next each program you will use INDIVIDUALLY, RAM ,System Requirments.
Now add them up..........
Most people NEVER add them up, that's where they go wrong.
So if XP says min is 512 and Photoshop says a Gig and you just put in a Gig that's wrong. It should be 1.5 Gig.
Now it may work but not at it's best....
Aug 25, 2009 at 9:07 UTC
Hadn't thought of it quite like that Curtis. Had always thought if the spec said Photoshop needs 1Gb ram and XP then it only needed the 1Gb,
Aug 25, 2009 at 9:11 UTC
You could save money by only buying 6 of 1Gb, and replacing the 512Kb in 6 computers, then adding those 512Kb memory to the remaining computers.
That depends on the motherboard and how it handles ram (some need matched pairs).
Aug 25, 2009 at 9:31 UTC
If only Dell had shipped them with 1x512. Unfortunately they come with 2x256 and only 2 slots for RAM so not much help for swapping around. I may start with upgrading the 6 users who would hopefully notice the difference, then add in others as and when they complain,
Aug 25, 2009 at 9:38 UTC
BTDT, I just looked up specs maxed RAM and that's it.
Unless you can take the CPU up 500MHz more then that's it.
What you have is what you have, it will either work with your progs or not.
We've moved to a 3 year cycle.
Aug 25, 2009 at 8:56 UTC
We have typically been trying to take our computers on a 4 year replacement cycle, but more so end up just replacing as needed.
One of the things we always take into consideration in addition to the Memory itself is what kind of processor is in the PC. From what we have found, upgrading a PC from 512MB RAM to 1GB of RAM doesn't make much of a difference when it has a SLOW and old processor. We always try to take both of these factors into consideration.
I do like Curtis' way of thinking though with adding up the total requirements and looking at it that way.
Aug 25, 2009 at 9:08 UTC
Acceptable processor speeds now as far as I'm concerned, 2.2 Ghz and up IF it can take 2 gig mem or better and max to highest BUS speed the CPU can take.
Kick any 4500 rpm drive to the curb 5400 or bettter.
Format and reinstall as said earlier is best, if not defrag that hell out it at least 3 passes, then run cccleaner.
Rinse and reapeat............
Aug 26, 2009 at 4:59 UTC
Also, document all abnormal shutdowns and device failures, BSODs and what have you. If a machine appears to have more than normal issues, you are experiencing hardware failures which will only cause more trouble. Replace the machine ASAP to save yourself the time and trouble of trying to resurrect a dying machine. Although I have some machines running for over 10 years, I do not use them for mission critical or regular work routines.
My experience says if the applications give you a minimum specs, always double the RAM when possible because the apps will only grow through the life of the PC.
Aug 26, 2009 at 7:35 UTC
All PCs that go off maintenance go on the "possible replacement list", but are not automatically replaced until a) there is a specific need to replace it or b) it breaks too badly to replace parts. II hope and pray that our systems last 7years. But it really depends on what your needs are and what issues those old PCs may have. Are they ultra slow? If so, why? It could be drive space and not RAM. It could be that they open too many IE7 windows (I tell people that just because you can open 20 windows, doesn't mean you should) so I tell people only to have a few open at a time.
Aug 26, 2009 at 7:50 UTC
I find it all depends on how you make your OS build. We're a predominantly XP shop, Office 2003, and some other proprietary software. Being a non-profit, we don't have the funding to decide on a "replacement cycle", so we're very careful as to what kind of machine we'll decommission. Based on what our machines do, the minimum useable is:
- P III 1 Ghz
- Every performance tweak in the book, from turning off unnecessary services to defragmenting page files to turning off visual effects to removing uninstallers for hotfixes. Every machine that leaves the shop is optimized to it's maximum beforehand.
For most of our users, this minimum actually works OK. For our finance department or HR, something a little beefier, obviously.
Aug 26, 2009 at 9:21 UTC
Even a 5 year replacement cycle around here would be great.
However, we are going to do the same thing shortly - add memory to existing systems to keep 'em runninf for a while yet. Did a trial run on two systems and it helped so much that those two users say they owe me beers. I can live with that.
We actually have some PIII with 192Mb installed still operational for temporary interns who really only need internet access and web email cliient.
And then, from there, I piece the remains of them together to haul to the server room for parts and to redeploy as linux test stations, firewalls, drive testing systems, etc. I still have a PII in use for the low impact DSL firewall with another duplicate available in case of sudden death.
And, finally, after a dozen years (or more) of use, they are sent to the green recycler who we pay about $30 each to haul away for us. I don't begrudge the thirty bucks - those systems have given their all!
Aug 26, 2009 at 10:23 UTC
Wouldn't it be nice to constantly upgrade....Our Medical Director screams for a new PC about once every 18 months....and a new laptop.....he's way too spoiled, but it gives me a good "trickle down effect".....Of course with me virtualizing desktops in the next year, he's going to be stuck with a thin client on his desk....now if I can get him off the "I need a new laptop every October when the budget's approved" kick, I'll be in great shape.....
Aug 26, 2009 at 3:06 UTC
Absolutely worth adding extra RAM, unless it's Rambus RAM, of which the pricing is crazy, around £400 to upgrade system like a Dell Dimension 8200 to 1GB.
Aug 26, 2009 at 3:15 UTC
Rambus RDRAM can be gotten dirt cheap on eBay as working pulls or new backstock for as little as 10 dollars US for a 256 mb chip, in lots of 2, 4, and one time I got 8. Lots of times you'll find free shipping deals and/or warrantees on these chips. We had to do exactly that for about 20 Optiplex GX200s in our agency, and it's far cheaper to spend 20-30 dollars on a matched pair of chips than replacing the machine outright.

We did it into our PC's and it worked

Our Agency's Policies is every 3 to 4 years, then replace. I will tell you that most Standart desktops were designed for the level of use for that long.

yep, adding ram here too. Did 3 computers today already after a Symantec Endpoint install. People were complaining about slow PCs today, most had only 512mb. Upped it to 1gb from spare ram i had around the office. most likely be buying some additional today.

Researchers are recruiting children with autism for a study that will test whether injecting stem cells banked from their umbilical cords can decrease symptoms and provide insights into the nature of the disorder.
While stem cells have been promoted, and sold, as a treatment for autism, few clinical trials have been performed to see whether they're effective. This is the first study of its kind approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to assess the use of stem cells as a potential autism therapy, said Michael Chez, director of pediatric neurology at Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento, California.
The disorder, which about 1 in 88 children in the U.S. are diagnosed, hurts brain development and is linked to poor social interaction and communication skills, repeated body movements, and unusual attachments to objects.
Thirty children with autism, ages 2 to 7, will be divided in two groups, with one getting the stem cell injection and the other receiving a placebo shot. After six months, the groups will switch. Patients will be monitored for improvement in language as well as irritability and other autism rating scales.
Potential Success
Neurobiologist at Stanford University, Ricardo Dolmetsch, whose laboratory is studying autism, said he doesn't think the trial will yield much in usable results, though he's glad the idea of using stem cells is being testing.
"I commend them for having the guts to actually do it, given that there are all kinds of people out there trying to sell it," he said. "On the other hand I don't think it's big enough to provide an answer."
Chez guesses that autism, which has no known cause or cure, may be brought on by damaged nerve cells. Stem cells could repair the damage or create new cells, he said. Such a component would yield results in six to 12 months, the time it takes to create new cells.
Blind Study
The study is designed to keep clinicians, researchers and parents in the dark about what arm of the study they're in to prevent bias, Chez said.
"Parents want so desperately to see a response, and therapists want to see a response, if you don't have an appropriately blinded control study, you get an elevation of observation of response," he said. "That's true for any disease that has no cure, but more so with something subjective like autism."
While companies sell stem cell injections as a treatment for various conditions including cancer, diabetes and Parkinson's Disease, research testing their effectiveness in humans is at an early stage, said David Panchision chief of the National Institute of Mental Health's developmental neurobiology program.
"Because there's so much hype surrounding stem cells in general, it's easy to get people excited about it," Panchision said in an interview. "But it's not necessarily the panacea people think it is."

Foursquare lauched a new, fully-searchable "history page," where users can review their entire check-in history, including photos, tips and who else was there.
The new history page lets you click on a date-based drop-down box to head back into the previous months or years (somewhat of Facebook Timeline), while sidebar boxes lets you search and filter your check-ins by location, business category or who you were with at the time.
"You can easily jump to all your past check-ins from any month or year, and even filter them by who you were with, what type of place you were at, or which neighborhood, city, or country you were in. We'll show you your check-in photos, comments, and friends who were there," the company stated.
Foursquare has been busy adding a number of ways to make its local discovery features more relevant to users who may have tired of the check-in game. For example, earlier this week, it rolled out a feature that lets you click a link on a Foursquare check-in posted on Facebook to add the venue to your to-do list. It also partnered with OpenTable (encroaching on ReserveMyCity's territory), so users can make reservations at over 15,000 restaurants across the U.S.
The company has also rolled out new badges from Kota Tua to Khao San Road, Jakarta and Bangkok city. To unlock Selamat Datang and Krung Thep, check in to five spots on the foursquare.com/4sqcities lists for Jakarta and Bangkok.
Forusqure will launching Rio next week, with the city badge winners soon to follow!
Also, foursquare now lets you save a friends check-in to your foursquare to-do list, right from Facebook!
"Now, when you see a friend's foursquare check-in on Facebook and want to try that place too, you can click the new 'Save this Place' link and save it to your foursquare to-do list for later. All it takes is one click, and you can do it right from Facebook (the save will appear on your Timeline, too, just like other apps you've connected to Facebook). It's an easy way to get ideas for future outings, and foursquare can do the work remembering them for you when you're looking for recommendations on Explore," explains foursquare.
Finally, with Foursquare already let you find restaurants based on places you and your friends like using Explore -- plus, you can read tips from regulars and check out the menu and business hours to make sure it's the perfect spot. Now, when you're using foursquare.com on your computer, you can make a one-click reservation, too. "Foursquare with OpenTable now offer reservations at over 15,000 places in major cities across the US, with more to come."
Just click 'Make a Reservation' and reserve a table for your party!
Foursqure also says that soon they will be adding more features, like filtering by venue, and adding tips or creating lists right from this history page. It's all to help you get the most of your adventures, even when you're back at home.
Take it for a spin!

Let me just start off by saying: I've been loving Katee Sackhoff in horror movies. I was a fan of Battlestar Galactica, and I thought Oculus was terrific, so I'm glad to see her starring in another horror film.
Don't Knock Twice stars Sackhoff as Jess, a former drug addict whose application to regain custody of her teenage daughter, Chloe (Lucy Boynton), has finally been successful. As is the nature of horror movies, unfortunately, all is not well, and not only do Jess and Chloe have trouble reconnecting, to say the least, but Chloe comes with a dark secret and an even darker presence chasing her.
Although there's quite a bit of backstory, as you can see from my simple synopsis above, it has some trouble really integrating itself to create a plot that moves forward smoothly. The reason for the witch following Chloe in particular continuously had trouble really introducing itself, and the movie would have been fine without explaining it, to be perfectly honest. We're already watching for the horror, we're okay if you don't give a reason.
As to the witch itself: there's a trend going on in horror movies with women shown only as a dark figure and creepy, tree-like limbs and I'm perfectly happy for it to continue (for a while, at least). The witch and the scenes with her in it are incredibly creepy, and this, combined with Sackhoff and Boynton's performances, makes this movie worth seeing. Sackhoff is actually terrific as a formerly drug addicted mother who made the difficult choice to give up her child and delivers her lines with the appropriate thought and gravity. Boynton, for her part, is excellent as a troubled teenager whose fear and need for comfort override her anger towards the mother who abandoned her. In short, go for the actors and the scares, and don't give the slightly confusing plot too much thought.
Check it out in UK theaters March 31st!

An 11-year-old boy in China who wanted to please his parents, chopped off his own finger with a cleaver after a dispute over playing games on his smartphone.
On March 5, the boy, who has been given the pseudonym Peng, was rushed to the hospital in Suzhou city with his severed finger to have it reattached, reports the People's Daily Online.
According to the report, Peng's father shouted at him because each morning he wakes up, he starts playing game with his phone thus setting a bad example for his six-year-old brother. To appease his parents, the little boy cut off the finger he used to play the game.
It took surgeons more than three hours to connect Peng's index finger back on to his left hand.
Speaking to reporters, Peng's father, with the surname of Zou, said his son had been playing on the games since 9am. He had the phone in his hand throughout the day and would not stop to do anything else. During the period, his younger brother was said to be staring at him, a thing their parents didn't like.
Peng's mother was in the kitchen at the time and reportedly told him: 'You need to have time to teach your brother homework, do not always play the game.'
A scan of the severed finger
After hearing this Peng said: 'I do not teach, I taught him last year, I will not do it again.'
At the time he was holding a fork to eat some vegetables, when he noticed that his parents were still unhappy with his behaviour, he put down the fork and picked up a cleaver on the low table behind him. He then put his left hand on the table and cut off his index finger at the knuckle.
Surprised by the act, the parents picked the finger and took him to the hospital where doctors fought for three hours to reattach it.
Zhou Rong, one of the surgeons at the hospital said: 'Children that are as young as Peng have very fine blood vessels, so the operation was more difficult.
'Now the finger has been connected, the next stage will be to see if it will stay attached to his hand and resume the situation,' he said.
He must now be extremely careful with his hand. If he tampers with it too much he is likely to cause blood vessel blockage and the finger will have to be permanently removed.

Rice wraps.
If you haven't done so already, I strongly urge you to get on the bandwagon.
Light and easy to work with, rice wraps are a fail safe go-to anytime that I need a quick-fix meal. Thanks to their neutral taste, they can be stuffed with pretty much anything that you desire. I could imagine them filled with any savory meal that you'd normally eat as a salad – for instance, some seared strips of steak and raw spinach. Or, for the vegetarian, tofu, ginger, carrots and sprouts. You can even venture to the complete opposite end of the spectrum and make desert rolls, filling them with a fruit salad and dipping them in chocolate. When I make them, my preference has generally been sushi-inspired. The other day, I had a fishepiphany – why don't I make a bagel-inspired one? I am from Montreal afterall…
- Rice paper (available in the Asian/Sushi section of the supermarket, or in any Asian food shop)
- any combination and/or all of the following:
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 package shredded pollock (or real crab meat, if you swing that way)
- 4 slices smoked salmon
- 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise mixed with a few drops cayenne pepper sauce (spicy mayo)
- soy sauce, or more spicy mayo for dipping
how to do it
Thoroughly wet rice paper on a large plate with warm water. Let soak for about 3 minutes or until soft enough to work with. Place on a dry plate for 30 seconds. Place ingredients in the middle of the wrap. Fold in ends, then wrap like you would a tortilla. (Let sit for a few minutes to dry if it is too wet. Wrap should not be slippery, but slightly sticky.) Cut in half and EAT!
