University Laptops
Wondering what kind of software the different university departments load onto laptops they issue to people.
I have BioEdit, Cygwin–X, Endnote, Exceed, Maple, Mathematica, Mathtype, MDL ISIS Draw, Microsoft Office, PuTTY, Python, SciFinder Scholar, VMD and probably a few other things I haven't come across yet.

Passing objects by value
If a particular class of objects is heavily used, do not pass it by value. Passing such objects by value is guaranteed to slow down your program!

Warwick Webmail
Since beginning to use Warwick Webmail as the main place to drop my university emails, I've started receiving a higher quality of spam. The subject lines of the new spam are convincing enough to force a check/read; this is especially bad as Warwick Webmail is so damn slow.

So, Science
Does science really have much to tell anyone? All these very many journals with many egos bustling about to improve something they value and that they refer to as their 'reputation'. People building up a big mountain of work that they hope others will carry on when they die and it no longer really matters to them.
