Except that that whole, threatening legal action against your student and Staff, sure I understand. But your reason "People might use our acronym to confuse someone else in a bad way" does not mean you have power, precedence, or reason to make that sort of demand. Yes it stinks but your administration has saw fit to use a shotgun to kill a fly. Sure you might get the fly, but the collateral damage will be more costly to repair. JC's around the country already have well a established reputation of being the home of the less educated staff and students. That prejudice sound or not, it is there, and this even has added fuel to the fire. Beside all that, this entire effort will do nothing to prevent the use of the acronym in scandalous acts. You simply attacked your students and staff that refused the first time with C&D orders.
all they threatened were the faculty and students. They don't NEED to so. Just fire, and release those that do not comply. One semester left on your degree, too bad son, should have complied. I do think they are going out on a limb attacking their customer base like this.
...thats based on Vista. Its called server 2008. Just hack away the server parts of the OS and sell it already. Its much nicer than vista, while you can add whatever features you want to it.
If enough people report you as causing problems, you get banned. If a few people where able to harass her enough and get enough people to report her, thems the breaks. She should have reported them and contacted Microsoft earlier. Its just rhetoric on her part. Its also entirely possible that she actually caused problems for other users, and being gays is just a convenient card for her to pull.
Totally pussy-whipped. Good, honest, non-perverted men can't even walk down the street without fear of being called a molester. And now if you use that 5%'s services, its obviously because you are a molester. Its getting to be destructive, of path of good intentions all considered.
...we have mostly notebooks, arranged in carts. And they are used when teachers expect someone to google something. Students abuse the notebooks, pull keyboard keys off, sit on them breaking screens.
Staff expect you to just fix it, no matter how many computers have the problem. They want the latest programs, get idea about running CAD software from them,and get mad when you tell them thats not going to happen.
Managing wireless is a pain. 20+ notebooks on a single access point? Its slow, and they don't care why. They just know its slow. So you must not be doing your job. You can try cleaver methods of getting around it, but in the end, its gonna be slow unless you run a cable for each computer. But then, why not build a lab?
Someone before mentioned it. but it bears repeating. Batteries. Sure they last a decent time NOW. But in 3 years time when a desktop is still booting in 60seconds, and can run all day, you're gonna be fielding requests to replace batteries. And they are not cheap.
I can't speak for the thinclients side. Closest thing we have is a server that runs office 2007, so that we can use all our CAL licenses to save the school some money on software.
You don't develop curriculum. Teachers do. Well, in the States they do. And since many of them are older 'tenured' staffers, they find it offensive if you attempt to make them feel stupid teaching them things they don't care to know anything about.
Although in the UK, I'm not certain if those same realities exist.
If I myself got to start from scratch. I'd get a couple rooms, build a couple labs. Then have each room with a 'teacher' notebook, projector, and a a few mobile "Whiteboards".
The point of the patent process was to give inventors a means to make money off of their inventions, giving them a reason to continue inventing things. That includes the white-out inventor up to the evil roundup guys that make seeds resistant to their pesticide.
The problem now is that while is USED to be very easy for your normal Joe Blow to figure out something useful and patent it, it has become ever more difficult to fight and win vs companies that pull crap like this. Giving corporations more leverage in bulling original inventors out of their ideas.
BTW you are wrong, patents don't protect large RnD investments. Patents is an idea where the government gives a negative right (One that has no basis on life-liberty-pursuit of happiness) to someone saying they can own the form their idea takes. Since its negative, their is no inherent right of anyone to make money off of anything they dreamed up.
For example, say you found this really need why to arrange components on a motherboard that they go twice as fast. A patent says you can have exclusive control over this to make money. Without the government giving you this right, ANYONE could just copy it.
That's why IP issues are so tricky. Its not stealing because its not a inherit "God given" right. It's one given by the government for the advancement of our society.
Get a conservative estimate on how long the equipment/services would go without intervention. Say it would last 1000 hours without anyone touching it until it went down. This might not be realistic, but you get the idea.
Then make a conservative estimate on the amount of time to correct the issue. Say 48 hours to bring it back to its previous condition.
1000 hours is roughly 42 days. Found out how much money or funding is made in that time.
This is the hard part, how does your piece of equipment or software integrate to the 'mission'. If it only has a marginal impact on the the company, or has a non-quantitative impact, you will have to justify it in how less effective the company would operate without it, and assign a fair value to it.
Once you have this amount, tell them how much it will cost to be down for 48 hours. You might also add in costs for having outside assistance to get it up in 48 hours.
That amount is what you save them with your preventive measures.
I use this to write EPR's (Enlisted Performance Reports) for my subordinates to highlight how their work has an impact in a dollar amount.
Because I think how the elderly in other countries do would be a good measuring tool against how effective our programs are. I do however wonder how people can say 'Invest 6 or 4k a week every year' can expect people to do that when they make 20k a year gross? You can't live in a hole in the wall. I suppose you could live in poverty, and be a 'rich' bum. But most people don't live long after retirement anyway. Much less live until retirement.
Bummer. I was kinda hoping I might avoid buying a another failure of a MMO by trying the open beta when it came out. Guess I'll leave crashing the servers to someone else.
Wait/look for ship you can take down fast to wander by.
Destroy ship, maybe pod the pilot.
Repeat.

Return to Station, go afk and watch a movie while they spend hours 'camping' you. You have a good time, and make people spend tedious hours watching your avatar in station.
...that will make it overpowered. If does not get the gear to push those talents and skills they may very well flop. Druids specced feral before the expansion was released where considered sub-par DPS and not a great threat to players PvP wise. After when the gear designed for them was released, the weeping was so great they have to scale back some of the abilities.
If they are not thought of in the itemization then or their gear is itemized poorly. Then no matter how cool the abilities are, Deathknights may not become the uber class some fear it will.

A security firm is saying regulations requiring code be secure would be bad? I'd say that too if it was my entire companies business.

Would be hard since, if you're wrong, your forgotten. But I'm sure they existed.

Because I can think of a few adults that could use such a device!
I just pay for internet services. Of Course, its still cable, so I have to pay any related fees.

Go go frivolous patents to make the process even more difficult for non-corporate inventors!
