with users bringing their own devices and loading sensitive data on them , customer data is lost in so many directions, its hard to point out the who actually "lost" the data in the first place.
Last time i checked on ADMX files google was still having issues generating them.

again, its something that they may work on when they get around to it, if they had some sort of QA this would not have been an issue in the first place.
Unless Google comes out with a way to manage Chrome , it is the least favorable browser in a business environment specifically due to security issues. FF was once deemed the best thing since sliced bread FF's rapid releases that integrate security updates, is no longer sustainable with out adding more resources to the company to manage it. Most companies still design around IE for its end users since it still has the largest base of users. In the corporate world there no reason not to use IE since there is a large corporation behind it to fix security holes, unlike Google that may or may not fix a security hole based on how they feel that day about their beta software, or just decide to kill it off completely.
Coming for a IT shop that just started VMWare and implemented ESX when it first came out, I was quick to promote it, until the pricing between VMWare and Microsoft's Hyper-V was put into place. For a mostly all Microsoft shop the choice was was much easier to buy a MS Data-center license and have all the virtual machines that run on it be licensed, than the much higher cost of VMW OS/Support + a license for every server on our cluster. I'm very impressed with hyper-v R2 core and the integration of VMM and SCOM and the addition of Cluster Shared Volumes MS has implemented. At this point there is no benefit to having a VMW server over Hyper-V since they both offer high availability clusters.
If the company is privately held you it may be more beneficial to stay. However if its a publicly traded company, there is no loyalty, you as a person are a commodity to be traded, you better get the best price for your skills.
no what it means is every 5 weeks nothing gets done for about a week because FF has to be packaged , tested not to break any apps, then deployed and that's if it passes. In the meantime all the other projects, get pushed back because FF is eating up that time. Thank god we don't support plugins, we would never get any FF updates.
the problem is when you have 10,000 workstations all connecting to mirrors.mozilla.org and downloading the update will cause some connectivity problems.
I was hoping that Google+ would be the next best thing, and pop the bubble that is FaceBook. but its not going to happen, most people that would have wanted to move, tried G+, and left sin no one was there and the people who haven't heard about G+ don't care enough to switch. So unless the new API can cook my dinner and wash my clothes and give me a hand job, there is no reason to switch since all the people i care to talk to (and allot of people I don't) are on the FB, ill just stay until it becomes myspace.
It has nothing to do with your age.
If you have been working on a Domino Mail server for the last 10 years, Im sure as shit not going to hire you to manage my 2010 Exchange cluster.
If you have been writing C or COBAL for the last 10 years , why would i hire you to do my.NET programming?
it all boils down to "Do you have experience in ____________" if you reply NO, then your skills are not needed.
and BTW, just hired a 50+ year old DBA, who has all the UPDATED skills we are looking for. Didn't think twice about age.
F*** the business users. The whole auto update feature is why we don't deploy chrome to our workstations, the is not testing with auto update. FF was the best alternative to IE, if they follow this model we will ban FF for use here and be strictly IE since its release cycles are long enough we can test all of our applications before deploying it.
When one the the ladies brought her MAC back in to be repaired he commented "we have that fixed for you in a jiffy, by the way i really like you new nipple piercings"
tell him that its a great idea if he doesn't mind when a "button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers."

By now it's just not important.
Agreed

+1 the above comment.

It still takes time to do it.
Sorry i have other things to do than repackage FF for deployment every 5 weeks.

Was thinking the same thing, i have had my 37" LCD for about 8 years (its so old it doesn't have HDMI ports only DVI) and its been great.
