This also the way EDS can ensure that their client has trouble changing their outsourced resources. As a consultant, I try to let my work speak for myself, I don't want to get in the habit of trapping clients.
I never voted for Ross Perot, why should he have root?
I started working as a consultant out of school. I was salaried by the firm, but it ended up being an hourly rate. After realizing how badly I was being duped, I left.
Now, I'm working as a contract W-2 developer for a larger private consulting firm. The firm has the sales staff that finds me gigs and I negotiate my rate through them. About half of the developers connected to the regional office work from home.
The money is better than it was at the first place, but it would be better if I were doing the sales calls myself. However, I like the idea that I only have to program and I get the benefits package I would have had to get on my own.
You're right. I believe it does have a processor. It's just useless without a network connection. That's something the work environment loses often as they're 'upgrading' to the latest M$ server technology. I like feeling secure enough that when I log in, the network doesn't have to be there so I can work.
This is one of Larry Ellison's (CEO of Oracle) dreams. It's still in the planning stages. Ora8i is the latest database server with more Java and web integration. Larry also wants an NC on every desktop. I just don't see IS departments going back to dumb terminals after the emergence of client-side horsepower. A server without an OS and NCs would thumbscrew a monopolistic OS maker.
