Multiple Mistakes Drown Interface (Ask Tog) -- "There’s not a Start button and a Reset button. There’s just one button: Start/Reset. People have been loading the dishwasher, choosing the cycle, then hitting start. This is an ultra-quiet model. They hear nothing. They think they’ve failed to hit the Start button squarely and hit it again. But they’re not hitting the Start button at that point, they’re hitting the Reset button." (Comments: Thanks Frank.)

Hmmm....lack of sonic feedback. Sonic interface issues.

Deja Vu

I plead ignorance to its earlier incarnation at webword. But maybe we could turn this into a game, where we get a point for every time we get John to post a duplicate.

All re-posts within three months of their prior post get a point; those which are more stale get a half-point. Getting him to double repost should be worth an additional point on top of the above.

Could be fun!

I'm interested in the different selections for the quote from the article.
