I really need a note-taking machine to be a Director of IT. I mean. Basically I take notes all day and delgate shit... occasionally turning wrenches when I'm the only one around who knows how. (Maybe I should be looking at a rachet set.)
I like this one, but the HP TC4200 is just "nicer". If MS had any brains they'd force OneNote onto everyone of these machines. It's not the greatest program but it intergrates really well with Office 2K3.
The same people that brought us the Fiat, Leeds Refrigeration, Ugandan scamming, and German food (there's an oxymoron) should NOT be allowed to play with the internet.
Who has the chops to run through 800,000,000 lines of code to do the fixing of this OS?
I mean even if you find the problem can you honestly say you'd be sure you wouldn't leave Notepad.exe broken by making your changes?
Clearly Windows needs to be completely re thought with NO concern for legacy apps. See also OS X.
You nearly made me flunk out of College!

Was your intent to release Pirates! with the final years of my College education a conincidence or were you attempting to have me fail out of college and live a life of squalor?
I have seen fairly bright people absolutely freeze up at the hint of having to operate a computer.
Me: Jerry, just turn off the monitor. Jerry: How? Me: With the button. Jerry: Which button? Me: On the monitor Jerry, just press it. Jerry: Which one? Me: Jerry, press the on/off switch. Jerry: Where is it? Me: I'll be right there. tap tap tap tap tap Me: There, push that! Jerry: Oh I was looking for an icon. Me: When you lose you remote do you just leave your TV on for weeks? Jerry: I tied it to my couch.
Just shut up, buy it and be done with it. It'll hook up with whatever you're running and it is fine as long as you take the same precautions any decent Sys Admin would.
you came off like a professional and stable person. thank goodness you are taking it upon yourself to represent the OS movement. certainly many other professional people will want to join you.
You know people who have certs that don't know what they're certed in? Come on, the worst paper CNE could tell you the 7 benefits of the NDS at the very least.
Look, I'm no fan of Certs but I don't discriminate against them. And I maintain a person who goes through the trouble of Certing DOES want to be in IT.
If the job requires a degree then a Cert can be considered not enough. By disqualifying a candidate over the successful completetion of a Certification you are basically discriminating. While it is unusual to discriminate someone for a redeeming quality it is not unheard of. A recent discrimination case was brought against Merill Lynch for refusing to hire Yale graduates, as the hiring manager was a Harvard graduate. Those discriminated against were ultimately settled with by Merill Lynch who also fired the hiring manger. These are not exactly the same but paralels can easily be drawn.

gee thanks for helping out.
I'm really a Director of IT. I turned down the title CIO because I didn't think my position warranted the title.
Please don't help me anymore.
Oh and shit.

Why did they even bother?

Hey EU you like this internet stuff so much, build you own.

Are you, in fact, my long lost arch nemesis?

They have nothing to tangible sell. The only way for them to make money is to sell data they've garnered and they users who they garnered it from.
Note CISCO not adding spyware to their PIXs.
*or are they*
I still don't care. In 2000 Opera was really cool. In 2005? Ohh look another browser - yawn.
just save yourself the trouble

for the love of GOD. Do some Googling and learn about the tag
the Radio Shack Pro-89.
I can easily program all of my favorite drivers in in no time. But the Bearcats can be programmed for you at the track at the Race-Scan trucks.
As yourself this question:
Why should they learn computer security?
Shouldn't that be handled by professionals? Shouldn't their ISP be employing security, scanning their mails for viruses, blocking spyware hosts?
Do you know everything about all your appliances? Are you an expert in camcorder repair? Can you rewire your bathroom to code?
Why precisely should anyone using a computer be forced to learn about firewalls, security levels or any of that? Because you claim to know about it?
A computer is a tool. The sooner it is like a refrigerator the better.

it's not illegal... it's actionable.

So a CCNE, RedHat Cert these suck? I'd like to see you pass the RedHat. Maybe you can... I don't know... but I do know it's no joke of a cert.
And let me guess, you DO want a degree... in Comp Sci; right?
I do not consider them at all, and am definitely prejudiced against someone who puts them on their resume.
Let's forget for a a minute that that is illegal.
This is a stupid way to think. Having a Cert doesn't make a candidate any worse than having a Cert makes them good.
A Cert, if nothing else, tells you the person WANTS to be in IT.
To get past the HR Trolls!
The only way to pass them is to point shiny Certifications into their beedy little eyes!
If you had a problem with me you guys could have just come to me and said something.
Oh and hey my DHCP is DNSing again.
I mean W2K has been around for about... uh, 5 years?
So isn't this just an old exploit that was just found?
See? Having 900,000,000,000 lines of code is a good thing.
