I signed up and did all of that even though I'm not a Chinese hacker.
Someone sent me an official looking email and all I had to do was put my WoW user name and password in it. It didn't let me log in the first couple times so I entered it in a few more times for consistency.
Blame all these 2 year tech school monsters and MSCEs who seemingly own IT right now. Add it to cheap quarterly based "upfront costs are the only ones that matter" managers who look for the cheaper choice. (disclaimer: I have a MBA)
I fully support (and actually encourage) any unix machine on my network. There is one hidden good thing Apple has going for it right now with the current strategy. In the world of corp still stuck on IE 6, Windows XP, and Office 2003... the iOS devices are causing increased interest.
Just yesterday I did a voice command on my iPhone 4 to call someone in front of a bunch of MSCEs an they looked at me like I just opened the fucking Stargate. This was amazing in 2006 guys....
It's hard being the Mac ERP Engineer for a heavy windows enterprise.
I'm by no means a scientist or really follow any of this stuff. I might even be horribly wrong.
My idea is simple. What if NASA crowd sources? Do amateurs have access to stuff that will hit Mars?
The first team to get in contact / control of the rover has a mission named after them or wins some sort of prize etc.
NASA does something cool, they spend very little money, and they get their toy back. Would it jeopardize the other functional rover? Does any other space stuff use the same tech? I can see that being the two problems to the idea.
Miserable environment + no further education = going to leave (unless they're morons. the dumb ones get comfortable and will stay and continue to shit all over the place) You lose in productivity and group morale as everyone hates IT or Joe User tries to fix things on their own making things even worse.
Miserable environment + education = probably going to leave after "free training" (read - opportunity cost). If you're going to run a shit hole, run a shit hole. Don't randomly throw them a bone. They'll make it into a ladder. Simply bad / clueless management does this.
Great environment + no education = probably going to learn on your own to be happy. The law of diminishing returns applies here. It's going to suck soon unless you pay them / give a title / whatever makes the little buggers happy. You're soaking management / planning costs here. Managers are more expensive than grunts.
Great environment + education = you're going to keep them longer. LoDR also applies here, but the effect is slower.
Basically.... As an employee, make your mistakes on someone else's dime. When you used up all internal opportunity, bail to greener pastures.
As a director you have a choice. You can get by making a technology barren revolving door shit hole (and don't forget how it messes with the entire org system morale). You lose productivity in having to get new people to adapt but you don't spend "visible" dollars.
As a director you can make a genuine nice place to work. Give education opportunities, make a nice organic learning culture, and treat people with respect. Hire those who will support this structure. You spend "visible" dollars on training and gain "invisible" dollars on productivity rates, retention, and expertise. The worker will become more efficient over time. You will slowly spend more visible dollars on cost of living / regular raises and promotions but efficiency will increase until it plateaus. If they earn, they earn. Else, into the woodchopper you go.

You don't honestly think that for a billion dollars Mozilla going to disable that by default, do you?
They're using a remote controlled helicopter for recon?
If they wanted to do surveillance on a small scale, at least go big or go home.

Will it be 4G or 3G?
3G = who cares.
4G = needs a nuclear reactor for 5 hours of battery life.
There is no clear win.

Reading InfoWorld is about number 6 or so.

It's a Safari bug that happens to be run on Windows.
As much as I would like to see Microsoft go down in flames, it's a Safari bug.
What else do you expect?
They aren't the computer generation.
Obviously the next course of action is to air strike the shit out of it so the technology doesn't go into enemy hands.
Hey they asked nice, first.
Just speed it up. It'll only take about 1 second.
So you're saying in Soviet Russia bot follows you?
I googled Mothers Against Dumpy Drosphela and this site came up.

TLDR version - you're idiots for falling for this
Run Windows Update and be done in about 15 minutes.

Let's vote on it.
You've pretty much discredited yourself when you said you worked for Cisco and defended something overly expensive.
