Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

This is driving me nuts. It appears that the function lock is on on my work laptop. I have to hit the "fn" + "f5" button to refresh the webpage. I have tried to figure out how to disable this, but google is giving me no real love/solution. There is no fn lock button on my keyboard. It's an HP 630 if that helps.

Please can someone help me figure this out before I chuck it through the wall.

Heh, Jon.

So, no one has scoop on CIO.com? Anyone knows anyone who reads it? To be a little more clear, I was offered the chance to be a part of their IT resume makeover series, where I makeover an IT res, and detail all the ways to make it better.

I wouldn't get paid for it, but it's exposure, and I'm trying to figure out the cost/benefit ratio of doing it, since it would take a deal of time.

Thoughts, oh Tech Savvy Buffistas?

Never heard of CIO.

Why would it be for free, Erin? They apparently have paid staff writers.

Ginger, you are a goddess! Thank you!

Why on earth couldn't I find that?

I don't visit it.

It appears to occasionally be linked from HackerNews, but those links don't get much attention, which seems bad to me.

Who's attention do you hope to get with the article? IT is a very broad term.
