in my experience the best way to deal with management high on buzzwords is to do some research, and have a private talk, don't question in public. the least thing you should get in the private meeting is time to do your own real research and budget and have at least two examples ready for you next meeting, so the boss will feel as he is in charge, even I fall for that.
choose you fight wisely, often it's better to "show some fore-feet" as we say in sweden, show that you are prepared to understand both fields and you will get the job and a raise(if not stay a while to learn then move on)
for me the adaption from one field to another has only been good, basically if a do a transition from one field to another i know more than the guy who already was in that field and can argue that, and for every transition it's only getting easier. basically every transition has only giving me an edge (Windows -> Linux, datacom -> telecom, telecom -> electronics production -> programming). even my short time at a small company that worked with small scale production of cheese(nothing to do with computers) i learned things about management and economy (that means i can talk the talk with managment). and something that does not hurt is "social skills" getting out of the serverroom is good.
it's the same thing really, both data and tele are the same thing, one person trained in one field should have no problem getting up to speed in the other field. but as you say telecom people usually tend to be faster to adapt(if they choose). I think it has to do with (IMO) with telecom people has a better understanding of basic things like signal theory and other stuff. many/some datacom people I have meet sure knows of the OSI-model(some people don't, scary), but don't understand it and what it's good for.
me thinks telecom people better trained.
me happy, because trained in both, working as programmer
the only sad thing is it takes some competition from other companies before nintendo does something new, and on the game side they are still doing the same old things(so f**king family-friendly), but i still like the wii (as you get older you don't have time to play as much as you used to, and then games like wii sport is perfect) now i only need to get me a DS so i can play games on the buss to/from work
are you saying we have to choose between nuclear power and air pollution?
do you have a car?
look at germany they are working hard on solar and wind power, but we need more
the one thing that i did not like about the article was that it gave the impression that the effects of chernobyle was so small
the normal form of nuclear power I do not trust people and companies with(look at Forsmark in sweden, people intoxicated working at a powerplant). there was an article on slashdot a while back about a diffrent way to extract power. that on the paper at least looks better
Was this due to reality, or pure panic?
both, people did not whant to eat it and it was to consider by health-authorities not suitable as food, if a remember correct it did take about 15 years before it was considered ok to eat
from wikipedia(we all trust in)
The 2005 report prepared by the Chernobyl Forum, led by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and World Health Organization (WHO), attributed 56 direct deaths (47 accident workers, and nine children with thyroid cancer), and estimated that there may be 4,000 extra deaths due to cancer among the approximately 6.6 million most highly exposed. [3]
that number of 4000 did I not see in the article
this subjects a little to close to home for me(they have started to look for Uranium in my home area)
Or lets take a look at what happend this year in one swedish reactor(Forsmark), both primary and secondary security system malfunctioned on a test and when they did a surprise alcohol-check they found like 20 persons was intoxicated.
and remember this things are run by companies with the only goal of max profit for shareholders
they also did find a small leak, because they had not replaced a part when it was supposed to be replaced
the facts about Chernobyl are wrong, she does not know shit about what the cost from that "little accident" was. both here in sweden and finland. maybe not so much cancer, but we could not eat reindeer for many years, many families livehood depended on that.
and only 60 cases in Russia that sound like old soviet propaganda. if you look at Chernobyl now days you will see very "funny" things happened to nature around. and take a little look at birth-records after the accident and you will start to see it's not only nature but also humans that are affected and it's is not so local you might think.
is it only in USA the MAFIAA is threatning schools and universities or is it happening in other places?
I have not heard of any thing here in sweden, the only thing is one time a BSA rep came to my brothers school and had a 1 hour talk.
I'm having a hard time beliving that you could not find a cheap portable player that supports ogg. I have a Cowon D2, not the cheapest on the market but compared ipods it is cheap and supports videos and other fun stuff.

f**k now i need to read up on cisco, it was some time since I really worked with cisco routers

if you stress a production line in my experience it usually gets less effective

Anyone concerned about security uses shielded cables
