Downloading it isn't illegal. Listening to it is. But 900,000 songs with an average of 3 minutes each and assuming he's listening to them 80 hours a week constantly (a point where his health would likely make it impossible to go furture). That would 10 years to listen to. If he's only into this for say 3 years, that means that there is reasonable doubt that for any given song or set of songs, he hasn't listened to them and therefore isn't guilty of anything wrong.
So "Shiver Metimbers" feels he's wasting the scammers' time so they can scam fewer real victims. I wonder how he would feel if he eventually ran across a real murderer/scammer who decided that since he couldn't physically track him down, he might kill one or two of his mext real victims and email pictures of the process back to "Shiver Metimbers" as a special thanks for wasting his time?
Yeah the GUI is damn slow. It looks like apple has some kind of gui emulation layer for their apple look and feel. And like gui emulation attempts over the past 15 years, it's damn slow on my 1.8ghz ath.
>>such as regression testing and setting release dates
Scheduling (Release dates) have nothing to do with QA. A schedule is a separate leg of the stool upon which a project sits; quality, scope and cost being the others.
1st thing: your manager should be asking this question, not you. That means you have an uphill struggle out of the gate.
Take you manager (and other managers) to these lunches where people complain. Invite different executives to have lunch once a month or so with your team. Create venues for people to communicate.
I work at an online service that uses LOTS of storage space. I can tell you the cheapest *fully loaded* (meaning support, salaries, power etc etc) cost of storage is 40-50$ per gig. You can buy *manageable* storage arrays for ~20$ per gig (lower price and you're doomed to continuous netops problems in production), but after that factor in the other costs to get to about double. Then depreciate it over 4 years.

Dude, we just posted a req for an engineer and got like 300 resumes. If you're asking about work hours, you're asking for a short interview.

>>Casper didn't respond. A minute later, he signed off. I haven't spotted him online since.
He should have made sure "Casper" was there by saying, oh "hello?" before asking questions.
Also, did his account get disabled?
Point 1: "they were located in a not-so-desirable geographical area"
Point 2: "due to all kinds of hassles related to hiring H1-Bs we couldn't hire but one"
Conclusion?: "This REALLY hurt the company"
What really hurt the company again?

Using courier new, 8 point, letter size paper, you can get about 8k per side uuencoded. A 3meg mp3 song will be about 190 pages double sided.

Doh. With my slight dyslexia, I had read "stupor" as "splendor" until I saw your post. Bummer

If it's so good why are they using the dumb filesystem to persist their own wiki?
I was called by one of their recruiters a year ago (I think). They were setting up a linux engineering group in some secret basement somewhere.

jesus, I was feeling alot of suspense over my anticipation.
You first said "I told him it would be a conflict of interest for me because I am a sysadmin of course..."
Now you say "i've been jobless for a year..."
