The HP Way



We have trust and respect for individuals.

We approach each situation with the belief that people want to do a good job and will do so, given the proper tools and support. We attract highly capable, diverse, innovative people and recognize their efforts and contributions to the company. HP people contribute enthusiastically and share in the success that they make possible.

We focus on a high level of achievement and contribution.

Our customers expect HP products and services to be of the highest quality and to provide lasting value. To achieve this, all HP people, especially managers, must be leaders who generate enthusiasm and respond with extra effort to meet customer needs. Techniques and management practices which are effective today may be outdated in the future. For us to remain at the forefront in all our activities, people should always be looking for new and better ways to do their work.

We conduct our business with uncompromising integrity.

We expect HP people to be open and honest in their dealings to earn the trust and loyalty of others. People at every level are expected to adhere to the highest standards of business ethics and must understand that anything less is unacceptable. As a practical matter, ethical conduct cannot be assured by written HP policies and codes; it must be an integral part of the organization, a deeply ingrained tradition that is passed from one generation of employees to another.

We achieve our common objectives through teamwork.

We recognize that it is only through effective cooperation within and among organizations that we can achieve our goals. Our commitment is to work as a worldwide team to fulfill the expectations of our customers, shareholders and others who depend upon us. The benefits and obligations of doing business are shared among all HP people.

We encourage flexibility and innovation.

We create an inclusive work environment which supports the diversity of our people and stimulates innovation. We strive for overall objectives which are clearly stated and agreed upon, and allow people flexibility in working toward goals in ways that they help determine are best for the organization. HP people should personally accept responsibility and be encouraged to upgrade their skills and capabilities through ongoing training and development. This is especially important in a technical business where the rate of progress is rapid and where people are expected to adapt to change.

How to Set Auto Height of Row in Excel 2007


Ah, you may think this is a dummy question, and I agree it is. But it took me half an hour to figure out how to do it. Below is the method:
1, double click the left bar boundary of a row (Not a cell, but the row number in a row)
2, Select rows that you want your operations on, and then mutiple rows: you can choose Format--> AutoFit Row Height

PS: It really took me a long time to find out where the "Format" option locates.Haha!

.NET Reflector -- How to uninstall


Aha, this ie a tool listed as one of ten important tools of .NET programmers.

But... It's not free now. Do I need to use a crack version? Let's think about it. For now, I will just use the free version.

A quick note about how to uninstall .NET Reflector

There are 2 very simple ways to remove the .NET Reflector Pro add-in from Visual Studio. If you can either:

- Use the add-in manager functionality in Visual Studio by going to Tools > Add-in Manager and unchecking the .NET Reflector add-in

or

- Run .NET Reflector V6.x and go to Tools > Integration options and uncheck the Visual Studio integration
