The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference - Malcolm Gladwell

I have really enjoyed reading this book, here is some words that describes what is this book about:
It's a book about change. In particular, it's a book that presents a new way of understanding why change so often happens as quickly and as unexpectedly as it does. For example, why did crime drop so dramatically in New York City in the mid-1990's? How does a novel written by an unknown author end up as national bestseller? Why do teens smoke in greater and greater numbers, when every single person in the country knows that cigarettes kill? Why is word-of-mouth so powerful? What makes TV shows like Sesame Street so good at teaching kids how to read? I think the answer to all those questions is the same. It's that ideas and behavior and messages and products sometimes behave just like outbreaks of infectious disease. They are social epidemics. The Tipping Point is an examination of the social epidemics that surround us.The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference

CFLDAP Add Active Directory User to a Group

I was trying to add a user to a group and had lots of code formatting etc. I was unable to find a straightforward code to help me. I have prepared the below code to help you using CFLDAP and also I will give you an alternative way using the dsmod command line. Lets start first with the CFLDAP: Now lets add an active directory user to a group using command line: When I wrote the above code I added a bulk list of users to a certain Active Directory group. Sometimes the CFLDAP failed so in the cfcatch I called the dsmode using the cfexecute. Why? Some of the user CN names contained special characters like 'bracket (' this caused an error when using the cfldap to add users to the groups so I had to use the cfexcute which succeeded.
