You forget, that the other way is even more expensive. When people have to apply for benefits there is an army of bureocrats working to check that their applications have alle necessary boxes checked etc.
The savings that come from having basic income in a widespread use come from being able to lay off lots of office monkeys. They can then live on the same basic income and taxpayers pocket the difference of their salaries conpared to UBI.
Not to mention the huge industry that has been built around the âactivationâ of the jobless, which means charging the state for meaningless courses on âhow to fill your CVâ, a cost which can be cut, too. These parts sadly are not realized in a small temporary test.
Such sutting down on state bureocracy should be a capitalist dream.
Booking.con allows multiple bookings months ahead for the same time period, with free cancelling of the reservation only 24hours before the reservation. This is against everybody's interests - the travelers can't see the real availability until the last minute, the hotels get lots of cancels and empty rooms, and the booking site loses comission. It's a lose-lose-lose, but still they do it. Only one who can change this policy is the booking sites.
You may think you have nothing to hide, but you don't know all the laws. If everything you have done is known, a law that you broke can most likely be found. Everyone has something to hide.
Congratulations on bringing a story from nearly a decade ago about a product you don't even name. (Hint:Trend Micro is name of a company, not of a product.)
I was working with Trend Micro products in 2003 and I'm quite sure there were remote installation options in Office Scan. Can't think of a time there wasn't. Sounds like your company bought multiple copies of the Trend Micro home use product which was named PC-Cillin back then.
Regarding the original article, however, Trend Micro bases many of its scanner appliances on.. CentOS. So are these Trend Micro products insecure?
Not for security. For self-promotion. Duh.

That part of the human race that is just so awesome that everyone else just must know what they are doing every moment is screaming to get a "liferecorder" and sharing everything on bookface or equivalent. And then you can watch other people. Who are watching other people. Who are..
Clearly the greatest betterment of life on earth ever.
Scary thought comes to mind. It does not take much effort to put together a flying R/C plane or chopper, a camera with remote video feed and some nasty payload. If "us" can have this kind of tech, so can "they", even if lower grade with huge limitations.
Should radiowaves (and hence control of the flying object) be jammed near possible terrorism targets?
In my dreams, I can restart from an earlier time of the dream if I don't like what happened. And that new time, I know what is going to happen, so I can adjust. Not kidding.
You heard it here first. In the next major ESX release, VMware will ditch the Linux service console altogether in favour of their own proprietary one. Admins around the globe cheer as they have to learn yet another system.
You know what, you're right, there are two separate issues.
While the guy in the article used a very bad work method, in doing something he only thought he could do on his customer's production system, it is not linked to the HP/Microsoft/Promise problem as you mention.
Perhaps the customer should have not gone with the big names in the first place, since they were a small company and for them it might very well make sense.
I'm a partner at an IT consulting company that employs >60 people. I've always told my fellow partners that it is better to give nothing than to give something that insults. "what would you think yourself if you got this" is a very good rule. Some examples in that article leads me to think someone forgot that employees are human, not cattle.
Although this habit of compairing gifts between each year apparent in the article leads me to think that one should never give anything. If you one year decide to spend some extra, do you have to do that every year else employees are disappointed?
Hey, Sun Solaris is free these days. If you have used Windows 2000 until now, you have used it for several years now. It's not like your initial investment in the OS hasn't delivered it's return by now. If Solaris is so great, why not just switch to that then?
People using Windows really should accept that they are be paying for it to Microsoft and that they will be paying for it in the future, for upgrades or various subscription based offerings. There are plenty of alternatives if you don't want to accept that.
Most people seem to take for granted that all those responses to the fake ad are true, and that the guy who posted the fake ad even exists.
Using the term from the site, we did not "independently verify" that any of these people exist. Would be a good media-spoof if this all turns out to be a big prank. And that is an option that we all considered, being internet-savvy and all, right? Right?
Every person in the IT department should be reminded daily how much it costs to waste the user's time.
Example: IT: "Hmm let's save 100$ and order computers with little less memory". User: "I think my new computer needs more memory". IT: "Bring it here for a day I'll inspect it" (.."I'll have time next month..") User: ".. but I need my computer all the time.." IT: "Bring it here". User: "ok" IT: "Nothing wrong, see.." User: "Well see I use these programs all at once.." IT: "Well don't do that!" User: "Fine". (Well I'll go and buy that memory myself then).
Cost of memory upgrade: less than 100$ Cost of wasted worktime: the request process: 500$, slow daily work: at least 50$/day, not to mention the grinding of teeth..
Above example is from a large global company where my wife works. I checked her new laptop, it was swapping heavily. I bought her the memory as it was a pain to work on that laptop.
Ah, to get a G5 laptop.. oh well,
enough dreaming and onwards with my bit offtopic comment:
This kind of article of course provokes x86/Gx comparisons. There's another quite interesting article on the G5 platform that, this being/., probably will only add fuel to the flames:)
Would you rather choose a Yahoo product over an open standard that is under development? I'm speaking of AMTP, of course. (See AMTP author's site).
Yahoo's size doesn't give that much weight to their proposal. Yahoo's email is not used in business to business communication (do not count hot dog stands as businesses), so businesses can just aswell block everything that originates from *@yahoo.com if it is not directed to their consumer service department.
Also, reverse mx records provide much of the same benefits with minimal alterations needed to current email infrastructure. One DNS record added and small change in MTA software.
If Yahoo would really like to do a service to the internet community, they should rather consider looking AMTP and reverse mx records.

Microsoft tried this. And look at all those nice Windows Phones now! I guess I know now when to switch to Android :)

I wonder, wouldn't this be a quite effective way to manipulate stock value?
Is it possible to short sell FNM, there were limitations on finance companies in place at some point?
There are quite a few differences when moving from XP to Vista compared to moving from Vista to Windows 7.
XP->Vista you had new drivers. Vista->W7 you don't.
XP->Vista applications had to be partially rewritten. Vista->W7 you don't.
Windows 7 is not really a new OS, it's Vista R2, or let's call Vista the "public beta" of Windows 7.
Vista "itself" isn't that bad as an OS. It was bad drivers, lack of driver support and application compatibility that got it the bad name.
Based on this and the fact that many IT organizations want to skip every other OS release from MS, Windows 7 might be a success.
Good conclusions. You write that RapidSSL and FreeSSL should be pulled from IE and Netscape.
Interesting point about this is, that there is only approx 30 Trusted CA:s in Windows Vista. Compared to how many in XP? 80-100 or so?
Seems that some have already been pulled?
VMware has been running 64bit VMs under 32bit host OS (on 64bit hardware) since.. 2006, even before?
I'd say look at which products people are willing to pay for, and you know who is giving who a run..
In my dreams, I can restart from an earlier time of the dream if I don't like what happened. And that new time, I know what is going to happen, so I can adjust. Not kidding.
I wonder what have I been doing in my childhood :D

Big name vendor + non-supported hardware. Any system consultant with a few years of experience should be able to tell you "don't do that".
Actually the guy in the article didn't know what he was doing and tries to blame Microsoft and HP for the mess that his lack of knowledge created.
If he had done this for even once in the past, he would have known what would happen. Very nice of him to practice with his clients' systems.
