    ... at the end of the day the client cares about two things:

    What if they are buying it in the morning? Then when the customer leaves, you pack your tent, burn your signage, and move to the other end of the market. When they return "at the end of the day", you disclaim all knowledge of that other thieving operation that sold them their system at such an exorbitant price.

    ...It's exceptionally hard to find a really good superuser who is really a superuser and not just a hack gamer-come-superuser that can actually make things run well ALL the time. And the corollary: It's exceptionally hard to find a really good IT person who can balance the needs of the business with the needs of humans and make things run well ALL the time. It is as political a job as they come.

    Child pornography: Thought crime.

    Yes, and if it were legalized the sick bastards would be caught much faster. Non sequitur.

    Making child porn legal would negate the legality of "catching" the "sick bastards."

    There is no "catching" of someone who is behaving legally. You could still assign a disease code to someone who is addicted to child porn, but we aren't in the business of forcing treatment on people for unsavory, but legal behavior.
  19. Re:in the perfect world... on Should IT Shops Let Users Manage Their Own PCs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    In my business, I force my users to submit all requests in triplicate and reject any that aren't perfect in spelling and I allow no smudges, tears, or other obvious defects on the submission. I provide the forms in the building basement and keep the inbox on the second floor.

    Users are required to change their password every login. Only approved software is allowed on the machines and access to our intranet is strictly controlled by a hypervisor proxy installed on each and every machine.

    Our one and only security breach was when my wife slapped me and choked the common network and local admin password out of me after she demoted me to assistant adjutant information technician.

    She will pay for her insolence. I have already connected together the velcro-like fasteners on several of the baby's size 5 disposable diapers, creating a low cost darknet to create a denial-of-diaper attack on the server I used to control.

    She will pay ... oh yes ... she will pay.......

  21. Re:first post on What Kind of Alternate Business Models Could ISPs Use? · · Score: 1

    If someone would offer me high speed, high traffic service for $100 per month, I would jump at the chance. Heck I would even go for a pay-for-play with a minimum charge, but both my local cable and local telephone company offer only up to 10mbit/768k with unadvertised rules about throttling when I exceed so many Gbytes.

    No thanks.

    And business accounts (even with minimal service guarantees, but faster upload speeds) are comparatively costlier.

    We need real competition to boost dload and uload speeds. (There do exist or can exist legitimate consumer needs for this bandwidth: video calls/conferencing at higher frames per second, paid software distribution, responsive web applications, future telepresence applications, etc....)
