The 2,000 Percent Solution

The 2,000 Percent Solution introduces "stallbusting," a process that shows how to recognize typical stalls and overcome them. It helps readers understand how companies habitually"think small" in order to feel comfortable and in control. However, only by learning to break certain bad thinking patterns, can we make great leaps forward, solve seemingly impossible problems and arrive at the future.

Why does my computer play dead?

Computers that suddenly roll over and play dead may be caused by a “fatal error.”. This usually results in a computer to shut-down. There are areas on your hard drive that should not be accessed. These forbidden areas are protected to prevent computer users from accidentally accessing them. Giving commands or making decisions could interfere in this protected space (forbidden area) could cause the computer to shuts down in self-defense.


Infinite loop: True to its name, an infinite loop refers to a computer getting stuck in a process that resembles a dog chasing its own tail. In essence, the computer is programmed to repeat certain commands over and over again until the command has been fulfilled or the requirement met. This unfortunate event often appears to the frustrated computer user as a “freeze,” when the computer sits idle and is unresponsive to commands. You may need to turn off the computer manually and reboot it.


Beware of viruses. A number of causes of file corruption on your computer may be caused by a virus such as a Trojan horse, or worm inserted into a file that you download and open on your computer. Even when you use anti-virus software and exercise caution when downloading items from the internet or opening email attachments, it is sometimes possible for these bits of malicious code to slip through your security.

When trouble looms consult an expert to Recover your files (Good luck!)

Distance learners

For those who wish to study at Universities that offer online degrees you better have some computer skills. You are going to need it if you want to pursue an online degree.

• You need a good understanding of how to navigate the Internet (know how to open an Internet browser, how to maximize and minimize the browser window).
• I would suggest you use a browsers like Mozilla Firefox which has extensive Help files.
• Make sure you know how to manage files on your computer. Do you understand how to use Windows Explorer, creating, copying, deleting and saving files on your Hard drive?
• If you don't know how to Copy and Paste, you better learn fast - Use the help files.
• Since your main form of communication is via email, you'll need to be familiar with sending and receiving email.
• As an online learner you'll need to know your way around some kind of word processing software. Microsoft Word is perhaps the way to go. You can use OpenOffice which is a free, easy to use.
  

Information Overload

"One of the effects of living with electronic information is that we live habitually in a state of information overload. There's always more than you can cope with."
