Police can just check your garbage to collect a lot more clues on your life. The problem with these sites it is near impossible to track everyone to make sure they are playing by the rules. However if you can filter down your rules to a smaller set than you can probably run more efficient. Sure if your friend posts a nasty pic, you may be on the watch list. It doesn't mean they are going to kick you off just because you made a watch list.
However just like in real life, if your friend is a known criminal, chances are you are going to be watched too. You won't get arrested if you do legal things, however you will be under more scrutiny
Being Fireproof aside the bigger issue is heat dissipation. Wood, Cardboard, and Most Plastics are good insulators of heat. That means all heat generated will need to go out threw the fans and not the case. Stone would have my vote. A nice Granite or Marble Server, would really make the server room look classy. Although each serve will need to take up at least an extra 2u, and add an addition 100lbs to the server.
More to the point We are just Mad at Apple because Samsung was Pushing Android A Linux Based OS, made by our favorite company Google. If this was say Nokia with Windows Mobile. We probably would laugh on how Apple is sticking it to Microsoft.
However there isn't much of an advantage to a cloud Office app. Open Source SaaS makes sense for other things especially for systems that need to share information with many people in real time.
I am not too sure why would need a Cloud version of OpenOffice. A Cloud MS office makes sense as a subscription service you can pay a smaller amount per month/year or whatever vs paying a lot for the full version. OpenOffice is free. You are more or less going to be better off with a local version.
I am not one of those hate cloud everything. But for office tools you are better off it being a local app unless you cannot afford what you need.
IT skills is a dime a dozen. You need to sell yourself in IT in your particular skillset. Health Care, Manufacturing, Legal, Finance, Government... People don't want experienced IT workers. They want IT workers with experience with their business.
He is still replaceable. In that case, he is a dangerous Rogue employee who needs to be gone ASAP. If he does take your data in hostage, he could be facing a huge legal challenges and he will be paying off far more than he will win in spite.
However to my point the goal is to ease his power away from him slowly to make sure stuff like that doesn't happen.
However the stuff he released wasn't stuff we already knew was going on anyways. The stuff that he leaked, was more embarrassing in the fact that it got leaked out then the content. However the real problem is the fact it included the names of the people. Where say Lt. Joe Smith, bombed a house of innocent civilians that his intelligence told him it was a terrorist stronghold. So now the family of those civilians may go on a vendetta against Lt. Joe Smith. Or the fact that Joe Smith was part of some regiment. They went to the next town where they would have had support they now have resistance, because the information may make them seem like a rogue unit, vs. and unfortunate accident of war.
This wasn't whistle blowing material. If say the US was using chemical weapons to devastate a town. Where the US is in violation of war crimes and showed a policy of knowing about and supporting such crimes, that is whistle blowing material. What he did was just stupid and deserves to be locked up for.
Old Legacy Systems are hard to remove. Even if the replacement is cheaper faster and better. Because people know how to use the old system. The best methods I have found is a slow removal process. Phase 1: Get a backup person trained on the system. In Case Bob gets hit by a train, there should be someone who knows how to maintain and upgrade the system. Now the "Bob" may resist this, that is why you will need to be strong and tell him it is just so your company has a backup, make sure the trainee has other jobs to do different from Bob just so it doesn't threaten him that you are trying to remove him.
Phase 2: Request new features. If Bob says no, get the trainee to do it. Try to make sure these feature request are fairly advanced and is outside Bobs comfort level. If Bob is a team player he will expand his skills and improve the product, if not then the trainee will do it, and the trainee will gain an intellectual advantage over Bob.
Phase 3: 80/20 migration. 20% of the Data is Used 80% of the time. Pinpoint that 20% of the data, incorporate the new system that handles the 80% needed work flow extremely well. Migrate or Synchronize 20% of the data. If Bob is being helpful make him engaged in the new system give him the training to be the master user, if not give the trainee more power.
Phase 4: Train and enforce others to use the new system for 80% of the time.
Phase 5: Migrate the rest of the data to the new system. Relegate the old to archival needs.
Phase 6: Remove the Old System.
We need to keep in mind to give Bob as many opportunities to get onboard as possible. But if he is going to be a hinderance, you will need to slowly remove his power base. Until hopefully he gets with it, or he quits, But if he does quit, by removing his power base it isn't going to bring the organization to the knees.
I have seen people like Bob before. They think that they are irreplaceable, and the company will collapse without them. No one in a company is irreplaceable, even the best employee can be replaced, even if it means with 2 employees. These "Bob's" often think they are really smart, however if they specializing in maintaining an old system their skills have probably been slowly rotting. A good employee would normally like to go onto the next project and getting more skills, vs. staying with the old system where they just do the same thing every day.
He stated that this wasn't meant to be his day job... So he isn't looking to be a Pro at it. He is opening himself up to a world of hurt. He would need to have a full time job as an ISP owner to keep things running. Even if it is just a one man company. He would be better off getting the Pros to do it. Either working with the local government or a local business.
There are a lot of groups out there that have power over your lives. (Unions, Religion, Work, our Political Leaders, or just your family...) If it legal to prove your vote, vs just tell the truth or lie about it. Then we open the door for these groups of people with power over your lives to start demanding that you prove your loyalty to them or face the consequences. I may be a Union Worker, They may push me to go out and ask people to vote democrat, however when I am in that booth I can vote for whoever I want to. If I had to prove otherwise and I didn't vote for their guy, well who knows what will happen when I am up for promotion, how well will they back me up if I made a little mistake.
Economics 101. Supply and Demand. The people want it so they will pay more for it. The Kindle wasn't really what people wanted, it is good enough but Amazon needed to charge less to allow people to justify getting it.
Is the iPad higher or Lower Quality than the Kindle is subjective. There is a fare amount of unique development on both parts. Right now Apple had earned it quality reputation, compared to the others. People who buy the product for the most part like it the product and are happy with it. So there is a higher demand.
If the iPad was sold for less, that will mean the other guys will need to sell for less, then it will come down to a point where it isn't feasible for most companies to make Tablets because the margins are too small. And the big company would be the only player who can provide the systems.
Look at all the companies that went out of business that were white box makers. Because companies like Dell and HP were able to get their parts at bulk, they were able to make a profit selling PC's at the same Cost that it would take the smaller companies to sell at cost.
Apple can sell the products for Less. But right now they don't have too, so they won't. The money they make with the new release will make up for all the replacements, and the price drops in a couple of years when the iWhatever Version x+1 is released.
It was ranked at -1 because, most people don't understand how businesses run.
Do you sell the razors or give away the razors and sell the blades. Do you sell a $500.00 Ink jet Printer with $10.00 cartridges. Or do you sell a $99.00 Ink Jet Printer and sell $30.00 cartridges.
Why is it you get a $10.00 meal at KFC but for the same meal you need to pay $25.00 at say Applebees?
There is more to the price then the cost of parts.

Most new industries are white collar industries. And is really the developer industry is so bad to work in. We are one of the few solid middle class jobs out there higher than the national average, we can still find jobs out there, and we can even pick and choose to an extent what we can and cannot do. Most companies I have seen allow developers privileges like flex time, and we normally get health, dental, 401k... So are we really that bad off. Oh you mean the fact that we are on-call to fix a problem in a 24/7 industry... I have worked as a developer for over 15 years now and having been on-call 24/7 I found that it isn't that big of a deal. Perhaps because I started working at the end of the Dot COM boom where developers were treated like Gods, but in reality we have a good deal.
If we do Unionize all will happen will just be more outsourcing. If we strike, well those outsourced developers will still be working. I worked at a job that I felt I wasn't getting paid my worth, so I found another job that did and I quit it and went to the other. I got better pay, and the company that wasn't paying me enough had to find a new employee and probably had to pay my new salary anyways to get an equal replacement.
The Old Unions success was in a different world. 1. Most of the work needed local manual labor. (A strike would be effective) 2. The work was dangerous. (Employees have an insensitive for change as well as the company) 3. Most towns only had 1 or 2 employers getting fired would end their livelihood and travel to another area was very difficult. (Other options are not available)
For Developers we can hire anywhere and do our work from anywhere. Our work is safe There are is a wide options available to us.
You could consider this patent as a protection patent. Where the feature Microsoft will never release. However is some lame Cable Company or broadcast company does it, then Microsoft can sue them for patent infringement.
I respect Linus in his kernel development effort. But why should I give a rats ass about his view on a UI. He is a kernel guy not a GUI expert. It is like careing what the latest tv star likes on her pizza.
Or in other words, we don't like seeing sick old people. So we try to kill them off.
The reason why the elderly who are in medical care don't have dignity is because we as a civilization have setup a structure where such people are considered a drain on society.
By right you mean not practical for the real world.
I never met the man, I just disagree a lot of parts of his philosophy.
As for software patents, they can be a good thing... However they are not being applied correctly. The problem there are too many obvious patents out there, for cases most semi-competent developers would recreate when the issue comes across them. If the patent system ran correctly people wouldn't accidentally violate someone else's patent very often. Because only really novel ideas come across.
For example the Patent on file compression and encryption, stuff that takes real thought behind it, is good for patents, however stuff like measuring how long you pressed a button is much different. Or a square box with round corners.
It comes down to an issue of scalability. With the multiple services, on one OS. Means if some of the services gets popular, and needs more power then the server can handle. You will need to decommission and reinstall and configure the service onto an other server... And in the mean time your other services are often getting performance hindered. Virtualizing means if you need to move it from one box to an other it is a file copy away. vs. reconfiguring and testing.
