1- Use everything search from voidtools.com

2- For documents that are in external storage I create zero-length files copies so I can search for them without plugging in external disks.

robocopy X:\path_to_documents D:\path_to_zero_copy /e /create /xd $* Sys*

mohdmasd··on Jurassic Park Dinosaurs Illustrated with Modern Science

You're missing his point; what defines "hateful" is mostly subjective and is always influenced by the watchmen interests. And what is acceptable today may be considered hateful tomorrow, in fact back in the 1990s "gangsta rap" was considered hateful.

mohdmasd··on Was ditching the headphone jack a good idea?
I think it'd be a mistake to ignore them. Content creators are cool and they set trends and fashion. The first iterations of the iMac, the iPod and the iPhone were nothing special, yet they were successful because they were used by cool people. i.e. Apple products became status symbols.

Unfortunately, we do not live in Utopia. In reality, politics, competition and self-interest play huge role in the workplace. In some companies, admitting a mistake or showing vulnerability in front of the wrong crowd can be very damaging for your career there.
