3. Incompetent users. Incompetent users are the types who keep the IT guys busy fixing phantom problems, doing user training, or bug them with water cooler talk that fails to recognize that IT guys don't like people or talk. Your IT guy does not care to tell you about the cell phone or digital camera on the market.
Horseshit! IT support IS about users and you'd better learn how to talk to them if you want to keep working in IT. RTFM as a response to stupid user questions will eventually get you your walking papers.
You're the stupid fuck! You've got your head crammed so far up your own ass, you're in serious danger of disappearing entirely and creating a singularity! Have you even bothered to pay any attention to how these "Human Wrongs Tribunals" actually work in Canada?!? There's no application of law, insamuch as the decisions are entirely subjective, based on the skewed opinions of a tiny handful of appointed, and wholly unaccountable, individuals who in a real court would be required to recuse themselves because of their association with the interest groups lodging the complaints! There is no justice here, only an unaccountable entity that serves as an attack dog for special interests to silence dissent.
You can cite all the damn CCC sections you want but for that citation to actually have any validity there would have to be a uniform, unbiased, objective application of said statutes, and there is not, at least not by these damn Tribunals!
I'll be only too happy to give Sun's customer service a piss-poor review! We ordered one of Sun's new Galaxy servers and after nearly 4 months, it still hadn't shown up, with nothing resembling an adequate explanation, coming from from Sun. I had to chase them to get them to promise new delivery dates that they then failed to follow through on. So we cancelled our order and we went and ordered a couple of boxes from a competitor! We wanted a hardware support contract to go along with it, but if they can't deliver the box itself in nearly 4 months, how can they be expected to support the box in a timely fashion if something goes wrong? If that's the way Sun treats it's customers, they deserve to go titters. A few blogs I've read on the subject tell me I'm not the only one to have this experience either!
BTW the other boxes we ordered only took two weeks to arrive.
Eyeballs and a brain work too. Sooner you're going to have to trust your employees with your sensitive or confidential information, otherwise they're not going to be able to do their jobs. So maybe employers should...oh I don't know...hire employees that are trustworthy? Oh and quit treating them like felons...that way they won't be tempted to live up to your expectations!
I worry more about users losing their damn USB drives than using them to steal.
If that network is so critical, then why is it so vulnerable???
What difference does that make?!? Just because it's "vulnerable", does that give you the right to mess with it? Just because I don't lock my front door, does that give you the right to walk in and help yourself to my stuff?
Tell me about it. I ordered one of their new x4200 servers, because it lookes like a pretty nice piece of hardware. If it lived up to its billing, I would have ordered more too. I guess I'll never know though, because that was over 3 months ago and I still haven't seen the first one yet, so to hell with them! They're all talk and no action and I'm going to shop elsewhere. Are you listening Dell?
Excuse me? Who the hell died and made you god, such that you think that you can state with any certainty what I or other participants are thinking? I never said you could speak for me!
I'm no fan of Monsanto or ADM -- but I don't blame them for taking advantage of the reckless laws your government put into force.
Good God man, talk about disingenuous! Who do you think lobbys the politicians so that laws favouring THEM get passed? Who do you think picks which politicians get elected in the first place? The common man doesn't have a hope in hell of standing against that magnitude of influence!
If you want non-GM foods, there are thousands of grocery stores for you. Go shop there. Problem solved!
Except in many cases you the consumer are prevented from having the information that would allow you to make that decision:
That assertion gave way to an aggressive business maneuver by Monsanto that may have been enough in itself to turn a milk glutton into a vegan.
The biotechnology giant used the fact that there's no way to distinguish BGH-enhanced milk as a way to prevent non-users from labeling their milk, claiming there is no way to verify it. Gary Barton, Monsanto's spokesman, denied it. "There's a total misperception that we're against labeling," he said.
More precisely, it's what the labels often don't say that rattles Monsanto. "No BGH-added" by itself on a milk carton is enough to send the company into a tizzy of threats and lawsuits.

I've got a pair of Supermicro dual Opteron boxes with 8 drive SATA backplanes and they're pretty nice.
This was directly from Sun...
