Best way to display whether someone is the right age for a match on an online dating site? It's worth bearing in mind that on this kind of site people will lie about their age anyway... |

Why is adding a clock seen as a good UX addition in so many varying situations? I like the vast number of different UI ways that you set the time on all these different clocks. |

Difference between VD,UI and UX? The user experience also involves what is NOT actually in the interface to start with ( because user requirements haven't been fully researched ) |

Timer on game for kids That's a large age range: so the time it takes may vary widely (for the 14 year old the time limit may be irrelevant - and for the 6 year old the limited time may be too short to actually complete the game at all) |

Why do users click randomly and rapidly when an application hangs? I did some experiments on an electo/mechanical interface in the early 90s and observed the same 'random button pushing'. So it's not about computers per se. I have no idea 'why' they were doing it and neither really did they... |

Why F1 is the default help key? I've a feeling F1 goes back a long way to the days of mainframes. I expect someone will add more to this. |

How to explain to my client the difference between Front End and Back End? I'd talk the customer's language: the back end is the storeroom behind the shop; the front end is the shop bit that the customers come into. |

What is the standard / benchmark test for user familiarity or proficiency with computer technology? It's difficult to establish during RECRUITING for a test what skill levels users have. Once of course you have your users it becomes rather obvious what skill levels they have... |

Forcing users to use a particular pattern for passwords Unless you give users the option to see the password rather than starring it (*****) anything which requires the use of upper and lower case is just increasing the chance that they'll input it incorrectly. |

What are some good ways to ban people? If you want the user to be 'educated' then really they need to be able to see all the other users behaving nicely - but not be able to interact with them: ie the ghost option. |

Why are child-resistant packages sometimes easier to open by kids than adults? Empirically I've observed that the ability to memorise 'new information' drops off rather alarmingly between the teenage years and the 'elder years' which seem to start around the mid 30s / early 40s. |
