Got an E-Mail from an auto-bot from CodeProject.
It had a link to a survey question.
I clicked.
I have approximately zero knowledge on the topic.
How do I answer ?

Surveys don't need you to be an expert in that particular environment. You just need to share your opinion brother. That's all!

The question is...
"...Check all the things you think SAP does (no cheating and looking up wikipedia!)
Please choose 1 or more options..."
That acronym just never crosses my line of work. I have no need of SAP, never have, it's just something for other people to worry about.

There you go !!!
I like it.
The rule says no cheating by asking Wikipedia.
I can still ask the experts here; HA ! And be halfway confident that I'm reading at least half-truths instead of wikipedi-ized accounts of reality !

The top answer should of course be Slows All Processes

I thought it was Sement All Processes; because once you implement SAP it will cost a zillion dollars to make even the smallest change to how you do business.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The answer, of course is:
Provides little or no discernible benefit to the customer, while increasing the bank balance of the consultancy you are forced to bring in, resulting in mass layoffs when you go bankrupt.

OK, I cheated for you:
[Sap] is a fluid transported in xylem cells (tracheids or vessel elements) or phloem sieve tube elements of a plant. The xylem cells transport water and nutrients throughout the plant.

When in doubt, choose option C.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Okay, the options are...
From the Survey...
What does SAP do?
Check all the things you think SAP does (no cheating and looking up wikipedia!)
Please choose 1 or more options
Cloud based Platform-as-a-Service
Customer Relationship Management
Enterprise Resource Planning
Javascript UI frameworks
NoSQL Database appliances
Okay, I want to make it clear that I don't know the right answer. I want to deliberately make the wrong choice, but I have a 20% chance of making the right one (which would be wrong).
Uhm.
Which of these 5 is the wrongest choice to make ?

So, after about a month of working from home, where the only exercise I got was going from bedroom to office, and sitting on my butt all day, I reckoned my muscle wastage must have equalled that of an ISS resident, so I decided to go for a hike...
Oh my god! 300 meters vertical, 3 hours, 4 km. Absoloutely knackered. Legs feel like lead. ALmost passed out on the walk untill I got some bread and pate down me, with a liter of apple juice.
Holy crap, I have to do better than this. Its skiing season soon!  
Mind you the dog, a young and supposedly built for it type hunting dog, was totally wasted aswell. The first puddle we found it half emptied by drinking then lay in for half an hour it was that done it.
At least when I contracted in Belgium I had an 8k each way bike commute, in all weathers. That WAS good, I was as fit as a fiddle, stay up all night, drinking god knows what, I could take it! These days? Dear oh dear, what a sad pile of flab I am.

Never liked it. Rain, wind, snow, hail, and a warm bus passing by.

Its good for you though. Really good.
Actually the commute I had wasn't bad. Quiet 'country' road through suburbs, across the ring, then through the middle of Leuven, which is a beautiful city so no exposure to busses.
Didn't have snow either. Had -8 C one morning, and oddly didn't get wet that often either. Must have been lucky with the showers I guess.
