They are hoping consumers/suckers will fall for the Android marketing model. New features are only available with the new model, not the one you've purchased. Including essential security.
OpenElec (was XBMC) on a hacked Chrombox works well for me. Dumb TVs forever.
All that corporate resource and yet, won't release an Java MSI installer without paying for a support contract. Of course, support contracts for anything touching Oracle involve sums of money usually reserved for oil rich middle eastern nations.
I know one can extract the hidden MSI inside the EXE file. However, frequency of updates and the non-trivial upgrade procedure in controlled/locked-down corporate environments means a lot of businesses are more exposed than they should be.
Die Java, Die. (And I'm not say "The Java, The" in German).
I have access to a test lab. And when implementing things. And I can see all consoles/monitors. But I can't touch anything.
My new team will give me access at the drop of a hat by adding me to appropriate groups, if they feel I can help fight big ugly problems.. But this doesn't happen once a day, nor even once a month.
If you feel suitably qualified, simply remove the battery (if remote controlled) or a connecting wire from the the controller.
My anectodotal evidence is that woman will invariably feel coder. I'm fine with heat, just don't like humidity. So even a quick blast in a sealed hotel room to scrub the air, will have my GF complaining in about 2 minutes.
The one woman in our IT department (of 12) will wear thin and skimpy, but will then (1) complain it is too cold when the temperature drops to just below the point of paper catching alight, and (2) start her own heater in the winter, thereby stopping the heating coming on for anyone else. She is always first in the office.
Actually, the problems is not if it too hot or too cold, or if the XX chromosomes feel it more or less than the XY chromosomes, it's GIVE MY A F$@3cking office of my own and I'll control the heating or cooling in the office. Open Plan office suck for physical and mental health and getting any real work done.
Rarely, if ever, does an IT department have what might be called an Engineering or a Projects department.
There are normally more than enough break-fix type tickets from EVERY department to cover all the permanent staff. Plus there is stuff like compliance, routine maintenance, etc that outsiders never see but eat away so much time. And then various managers (1) cut the IT budgets so tools and resources are taken away while (2) complaining that IT isn't agile and responsive enough.
Speak to the IT manager. Pay for dedicated resources within the IT department. I'm sure a competent IT manager would be ready to oblige. Remember your cheque book.

I'd just be happy if I could move the ribbon to the right or left side of the screen. So much real estate there and it doesn't get in the way. But nooooooo, fixed at the top of the screen so I can't see more of my document.
Still wondering if they will be able to publicly release their java MSI package.
I know they have one, because I see it on the downloads and support page for JDE E1. However I don't have access to the inner working of our corporate licence and work out if we are eligible to deploy it.
It would be possible just to download the MSI and deploy it. But Oracle do keep auditing us. So, better safe than sorry. (For various values of the word 'safe').
Really? US dollar? Swiss Franc is much more stable. Euro, is very spendable, mostly stable. Petro-Euro could easily replace Petro-Dollar (but ask Saddam Hussien how that turned out).
US Dollar is not worth its weight in paper.
China holds vast amount of US Dollars and the moment they decide to sell some or all of these, the currency will start to look like the Zimbabwe Dollar.
Very true. I was working in our office in Milan when two users PCs were hit.
Email avoided Barracuda mail firewall device, Sophos on two Excahnge servers, Sophos on the endpoint and Outlook junk-email filters. It also came in through our Cisco firewall with an IDS module.
Email appeared to be a legit email from a logistics company in Italy (in Italian). Only three users out of 60 got the email, those that deal with the company. Two users opened the mail and the attachement.
So, one, it avoided a lots of checking. Secondly it worked very fast. It encrypted hard drives and network drives to the tune of 170k files in a few minutes. Thirdly, seems there were a few critical leaks of email databases (corroborated by the IT manager having spoken with her former colleagues and they had a similar problem only a few days before hand). Lastly, it seems that the attack was highly targetted.
Backup procedures are heavilty audited in our company and the Italian IT backup nightly and test restores daily. It took a while to load data from the tapes, but within 24 hours, all network data was restored with only a few files (those created that day) lost. Pc files lost amount to a few inconsequential files, plus lots of personal photos that the users had been warned NOT to store on company IT equipement.
What will happen is that the large denomination notes will just simply not be issued.
Want that $1000 in cash? That will be a lot of 20s or even 10s. This is chump change and of no interest.
Large amounts of $100s make it easy to pay for stuff "of interest" - large amounts of drugs, bribes, high end weapony, keeping wages or other taxable payments of the radar, etc. Smaller notes mean that physical transportation of large amounts of cash becomes more problematic and risky, but not impossible.
Pennies might go, but that will be just coincidence.
Better have a way of getting your 1000 swiss franc and 500 Euro notes ASAP, and hope.
Small players don't do business multi-national (mostly).
Actually, I think it would be much easier just to change the tax law to ignore related party transactions. So, if one company owned or had a beneficial stake in another, or common board membership, or had a board membership that was majorly composed of staff of the other company, that first company could not claim (1) fees for use of IP, (2) interest, (3) management charges, or (4) other imaginary charges from the second. Any charges for physical goods would have to be declared and the legal onus would be on the supplying party (overseas) to prove the cost of goods is realistic. Open, audit able books, so no hiding tax or bank accounts in tax havens.
If the the transaction is between unrelated companies, then charges are fully deductible.
Businesses are free to trade with whoever they want. But there becomes less of an incentive to implement transfer pricing. You could still do it, but both the buyer and the seller would have to agree to be fully accountable.
Problem solved.

I would argue that religion is just a specialised form of cult.
Not really that much difference between the crowd at a rally in NK and one outside the Vatican.
NKs might be there to look good (or avoid disappearing in to a gulag), but how many that turn up to church at 10am on Sunday are also there only because of social pressure (and the fear of an eternity in hell).
The Swiss have sensibly stayed out of the EU. Hence there might a little problem if they decided to put the capital, in say, Frick, or Frauenfeld, or Fribourg.
Although, (and despite what Germany would like), they are picking and choosing which regulations they would like to cooperate with. There are many bilateral agreements between the Swiss and the Eu.
We have talked about this at length. No marriage, no rings, no kids. I keep my motorbikes, she keeps her cars. She doesn't like my apartment, I don't like hers.
I'm in an open office. 10 people, in a space that is comfortable for 6, at the most. At the end of the day, I just want some quiet time. Fortunately, I have achieved the mythical/. status and have a girlfriend. Very, very fortunately she doesn't live with me, but continues to maintain her own apartment 100km away. So, most of the time, I can wind down after a day.
Boss does let me work from home if I've project specific stuff that must be done and I'm up to my limit in distractions.
What I really need is a test lab area, that hurts me more than the open plan office.
You can blow up stuff outside the office or play some classic Diecide on 11 and I can work. But the constant bable of voices just pisses me off.
Dell, et al, does not have thousands in stock. Dell, and I imagine all other manufacturers, has at most, a few days worth of stock.
That isn't thousands. That's way to much inventory.
For a major manufacturer like Dell, suppliers often set up nearby stocking warehouses. Only single truck or a few small trucks work the route (could be a even forklift worth at a time).
Inventory requires space and management. Space is money. Management is money. All money that could be profits. The hoy grail here is just having enough stock on hand to fullfil the next shifts worth of builds. Not a single one more.
Off topic: This is why the big players get a great deal on real-estate and buildings in industrial parks. Because they bring in other tennants that will be there at nearly any price, just to be working with the key tennants.
"You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies, and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it."

I think it's very easy to make this all unworkable. Every and any website, publication, speech or media appearance of a supporter of net cencorship should be analysed to death. Any remote measure that would fall under the terms of the ban should be reported. Make sure the supporters of this ban are the first to feel its bite.
Most religious sites are easy game. Not one of the backers of this legislation will be pure as the driven snow and there has to be a reason for them to be banned. Then it is so easy to show inconsistencies and favouritism that the whole lot will be abolished because the responsible minister will look like an idiot.
I give it less that 12 months from the day of implementation until its fall.
These "traits of" or "habits of" articles are the modern equivalent of horoscopes. Lots of feel good stuff, but not much actual advice. I can agree and disagree with every point to some extent.
Nice article that generates a lot of page views. For real advice get 1 or more O'Reilly books, or better yet, find a competent admin and become his/her apprentice.

I guess now, short of plastic surgery every other day, there is nothing standing in the way of a totalitarian state - everywhere.
Nothing you do out side of your home is private and anonymous. Every thing you say or do will can be used against you.
Because, you know, no one wants/is able to police the police.

Why don't we use the lawyers to line the containment facility? There is a near limitless supply of lawyers.
Not talking main structure here, just internal, cosmetic purposes.
There has to be a huge cost saving this way.

If you only want to get in or out, then no door/lock combination can stop you. It's just a question of force.
Doing it without detection. or detection sufficiently later, is another question however.
