May not have technically been a "whoosh", but the OP's statement is widely applicable enough that it doesn't need to be limited to Japan or America. If you missed that, then "whoosh" on you. =D
"IT work" is roughly the same as "I like computers". If you go into an interview with "I want to do IT work" you'll end up grinding your years away on the help desk. You mention that you worked with multiple desktops and AD, did you enjoy it? Do you prefer working on end user machines, or would you prefer to control them at a higher level from central servers? Do you gravitate to systems architecture and building out data centers, or would you rather be programming? If programming, are there languages you hate? If you want useful advice, where you've been is just as important as where specifically do you WANT to go?
No. College != vocational school. If you have a proper education that teaches you how to think then you can devour the technical manual for some new machine in one night, be slow but proficient the next day, and master it in a month or two.
If you cannot become the type of person that devours the tech manual in one night, then training is just throwing money down a hole. The types of jobs where training consisted of a manager giving you a few simple instructions and leaning over your shoulder for a few days to make sure you have it right? Those jobs are GONE.
I'm guessing you haven't read many technical manuals lately. Often enough, it's either absolutely filled with needless fluff and/or missing the actual pertinent details for implementing the product at any level. Pulling what useful details exist is an exercise in frustration. Vocational schools or boot camps are an absolute necessity because of the failures of these manuals.
Yea, the OP doesn't realize that every damn thing that he eats out of a 'box' has traveled through some kind of clanky high speed stainless steel greased chain machine. You'd have thought that./ readers would have watched How it's made or something similar.
I can start an HD stream on Netflix, have it choke and degrade to 2-3 (occasionally 1) dots, switch over to Amazon and stream the same HD content without an issue. Netflix support claims "there was a drop in the system", but my router logs show no such drop. When asked about the difference in logs, they claim to have "better logs". When asked why Amazon can stream HD content that they can't, they claim it's because they use a "different technology" that is designed to "enhance the viewing experience". Wot? Netflix is good enough for a phone or tablet; actual HD streaming you care about, go with Amazon or whoever.
and of course, it couldn't have anything to do with your ISP's traffic shaping procedures...
We aren't TRYING to be a class-segregated society.
...and by "we", you mean non-(large)corporate America. Large corporations in America obviously believe in class-segregation, as evidenced by their lawyers, lobbyists, and general behavior.
It's complicated. We're better off than countries where members of lower socioeconomic classes don't go to school. But our overall scores are lower than countries with better economic equality, because so many more of our citizens are in lower socioeconomic classes.
It's simple. The scoring was done by American high school students. Obviously if it was corrected, things would be different =D
Well damn, last time I said something like this I had folks claiming those errors were only encountered by folks not knowing what they were doing.
In our case, that would have included RIM. They were constantly in our servers trying to make adjustments, or claiming that the new version would resolve all those glitches. Finally the new version did resolve all those issues, because it wasn't BES anymore. It was replaced (I think with activesync).
You mean, except for the whole "some random dude in another country now has his RSA ID and noone was the wiser", ya sure.
Now I haven't used an RSA id personally, but couldn't the employee have kept his RSA ID, set it up on a home computer, and given the outsourced programmer remote access to it?
4 hours later.....nothing. Also, our organization was also thrilled to do away with the BES, which was constantly broken or in need of a reboot (constantly = weekly at a minimum).
Be careful soon the RIM fanbois will be out saying bad things about you for admitting this. It can't possibly be that there is something wrong with BES, no it has to be every person to ever admin it was incompetent and untrained.
RIM fanbois?...thinks for awhile....you mean employees?
I was going to say "do you have a link for those", but then I realized what I was asking for:)
On the other hand, it wouldn't make a difference - I doubt Mozilla or Apple will whitelist the new version.
You're presuming they whitelisted the old versions. Unless I'm mistaken, they blacklisted the existing versions. That doesn't mean new versions are automatically blacklisted unless the logic being used to block the existing versions applies to them as well.
1. Instead of selling/producing the large lamp. they should develop a module with embedded WiFi that goes between any lamp and the power circuit. That way you could use any lamp with the system.
Why does it have to be a lamp? How about the light on your desk goes on to inform you that the misses is using the power sander in the bedroom again? vmmMMMMMM!
It appears that there are workarounds for the roaming profiles issue, but dont say "cant even handle roaming profiles" as if thats a gross failing-- a lot of apps fail horribly when run from a network share. You ever hear Microsoft's stance on using Outlook with network-stored PSTs?
and yet Outlook runs with network-stored PSTs without skipping a beat. I've tried resolving the issue through Google AND their forums and most of their support hasn't a clue. As I understand it, is an architectural issue with the multitude of processes trying to perform concurrent operations on the same files, although this is a rough approximation from the only engineer there who seemed to have a bead on the issue.
That you think otherwise makes me think you havent done much research on the matter
I've done much research on the issue. I wanted it to work and be reliable. I used their group policys and written some of my own in attempts to resolve the issues. Chrome is great on a single computer and I use it often, but it's failings with network shares (as in TS as you mentioned) are loud and spectacular, and suggesting users use different tools in different environments (local machine vs ts) is a recipe for being replaced.:/
Chrome can't even handle roaming profiles without violent crashes and bugs. Please don't suggest that it's corporate/enterprise friendly. There are many threads which will testify otherwise and regardless how much Google claims the issue is fixed, it's not.

reply: none
Unlikely. Their reply was likely to engage a lawyer at having the information source removed so that you can't access it in the future.

Pushing the button on it via a webcam could be problematic.
Just rig a CD-ROM with a tray in front of it. Eject the tray via software and you can push that button.
Or applying Randian Libertarianism to reality??
The last time I tried applying randy libertarianism to reality, I had to attend a sexual harassment class....
Just what I need. Join an Xbox live party to see everyone's sitting around, naked on their couch like me...*facepalm*

Build the Death Star, then use it to annex Canada
No, build X-Wings and Y-Wings. Cheaper, and we'll be ready to destroy China's death star before it clears our mutual moon.

Thank you.
To be clear:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/trove
1. A treasure trove; a collection of treasure.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/drove
2. (usually plural) A large number of people on the move (literally or figuratively).
Of course, if you run a company that can monetize it's users, a drove IS a trove.

That's just keyboard and mouse hygiene. Keeps you from accidentally enabling the sticky bit.

Innovating new products that you don't need or want. It's a space consuming version of the away button in IM. And the summary? *rolls eyes*
