Goodbye Microsoft profit? How? They got the money from you already. On top of that they'll get money on each xbox game you buy. They might not get the desired effect, which is customer binding. Monetary profit will be theirs no matter what.
Why don't you use PXE Boot to install your Linux operating systems? The last time I burned a CD (Debian/Netboot) it was because the NIC didn't support PXE and that was on a P-III 800MHz. From what I can see, any later Pentium IV / Athlon XP (~6-7 year old) motherboard comes with PXE integrated. All netbooks I've seen also come with it.
My first thought too. However, then it seems that everyone and his dog (except me... and my parents) seem to have thrown out the trusty CRT and gone flatscreen. Even (especially?) people in the low-income segment seem to do that. Why? I don't know. In that regard, this would be on par with the good old C64 back in the day... Fight for whoever gets to use the TV (For whatever application, watching TV, this thing, or whatever you can come up with.
Says who? The law? Pfffft... You never speeded? Guess what? That's against the law too. IMHO, this law is wrong... Lunchtime is my time and thus my decision what to do with it. If I say: I don't take it, then I don't take it. What are they going to do? Send "work police" to drag me to the canteen?
Oh? They know what the law says, and they know that management will be in trouble if comes to light that they're working you 8 hours straight with no lunch break. Even if everyone claims you liked it that way. It's illegal.
They don't have to... as long as they let me do it. I don't care they go see hookers over lunch or whatever, as long as I have the freedom to do with my lunchtime what I like to do with it: making it non-existent. The law exists to make sure employer can't force you to skip lunch. If this gets reported, I simply will deny all accusations and they will have to make proof. I fail to see how they can positively prove such a thing. If they don't require proof, then I'll tell you what any disgruntled employee could do. Send inspection anonymously to their employer with false allegations and there would be no way the employer could convince that it isn't true as the wod of the employees is not believed if they say "But, but, I have lunch" (Which in my case would be lying, but I'd still say it and that's okay with me).
If they're jealous of me leaving early, then I have news for them: you too can skip lunch... It's not hard.
The problem with laws like this, and the fact that the word of the employee is not to be believed when asked, makes it sure that the law is unenforceable.
Unless working times are pre-defined (and thus you don't have flex hours), you can always skip lunch. Make it a five minute lunch if you want, and in all honesty I can wolf down a sandwich in that time. Can prove that in court too. 55 minutes earlier away from work is fine too. If working times are pre-defined, then there is not much you can do. As said before: never seen that in our line of work.
You won't make me have lunch... Not you, not my employer, not the law. That activity is still my own decision. Law, or no law.
It becomes between you and other employees when they want to know why you get to leave an hour early every day.
You worked over lunch, that's why.
But they still won't want you leaving an hour earlier than they can.
They don't have anything to say about that.
That only works if you're able to come and go at whatever hours you please if it adds up to 8 hours a day. Typically you'd have to get special approval to work different hours from the rest of the office.
In our line of work, does that even exist? Haven't had a non-flex-time job in my whole career. It probably would be a deal-breaker during job-negotiations.
First, this is not between you and other employees, but between you and your employer. If they can shut up (and they usually will), so can you. Coworkers are easily taken care of: if they say something, you worked during lunch, point. They'll usually understand... if not join them for lunch, sit at their table, don't eat, don't say a word, do nothing at all and preferably look very annoyed. You'll see how long they'll accept you in their round. I'll give them a week, max, before they tell you "please, do whatever you want, just don't sit here spoiling the mood".
I was also specifically talking about an eventual inspection. You can tell them whatever they want and unless they have been sitting in front of the office building in an unmarked van (unlikely for these type of infractions), they have to take your word for it.
Second, you can also make sure you come in first. If you do, nobody can check whether you arrived at 8h30 or 7h30. If everybody comes in at 9h, you have free reign.
If all else fails.... Well, I don't mind slacking off my lunch time in front of my computer. That is STILL better than having to go for lunch.
Sure, but how exactly is that disgruntled employee going to prove it? I mean, I'm going to claim whatever I'm going to claim regarding my workhours... Truth or not. His word against mine...
So? If the state laws don't allow it, ignore them. Similar laws exist in my country and I never ever would lunch with my coworkers. It's on par with ignoring speed limits, everybody does it and the odds of being caught are even lower. What are they going to do? Inspection? Well, go on lunch if that ever happens. If asked, you took lunch outside in the park.
I have no problem lying about this. I mean, they can't prove it's not true.
Ehm... I think the whole question is to avoid putting them on your intranet. Which is entirely possible by using a separate network. Go through the comments, many people already have discussed VLANs and physically distinct networks.
The equivalent would be to let a random person sleep in your garden shed.
He's called "my dad"... and he worked hard his whole life, and I see that now at 64 has failing health, is tired all the time and doesn't do much apart from watching TV and surfing a bit. I know how my future looks, I can see him every day if I want.
Everyone I know and help, get the same line: if you want to throw away a computer. Call me first, I'll come and pick it up for free and take care of the "recycling". Recycling being me trying to repurpose it or disassemble it for parts.
The irony in your post is that the Amilo series at Fujitsu-Siemens is the low-end, consumer oriented model. If you want the ones geared towards professionals your want the Lifebook series. (I used to work for Fujitsu-Siemens, the Consulting branch... I never was really impressed by their hardware, but I was on a budget so at that point you consider any brand;-) ) So, in the Apple world it's the equivalent of the MacBooks. It all is indeed a matter of care, and if the hardware fails despite great care (as in the case of my iBook), it simply is crappy hardware. Of course, software is a large part of the experience, meaning that if you are careful (or do correct User/Admin separation, even under XP, like I do), your machine will run for a long time.
I must admit the CPU I have in it is pretty cache starved. I blame my own cheapness on that though.
I can't speak for other PC owners, but my Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pa1510 bought in January 2007 works just fine. It was on sale for 799€. It was on sale because it came with Windows XP Media Centre Edition and Vista was to be released and retailers wanted to get rid of XP machines because Vista was the "next great thing". (Didn't work out all that well). Anyway... I plunked down another 100€ for a RAM upgrade (from 1GB to 2GB), might have been 200€. It doesn't matter, I did the upgrade at the moment of purchase.
Guess what? That machine is still my primary personal laptop. Works perfectly fine. While it dual boots WinXP MCE and Ubuntu 10.10, I'm mostly in Ubuntu. Windows XP works fine though and the few Steam games I have work fine on it (Stuff like Portal, HL2)
Now, to be entirely honest, I did replace a defective HDD. I borrowed it to a unemployed friend for half a year (until he got a new job), and it came back, let's say... in a not very desirable state. The hard disk failed under his usage.
PC laptops, when given care, work fine for ages too. As a matter of fact, my experience with Apple hasn't been so rosy. I bought an iBook G3 600MHz back in the day. It lasted thee years. Logic board failure, known problem by Apple. Extended warranty was declared, BUT I only found about that 2 weeks after the extended warranty ran out. That was a 2000€++ laptop. Thee years.... A shame. Repairing it would have cost the price of a new PC laptop. I didn't do it, and opted to buy a second hand P-III 600MHz laptop for 100€. Worked another 2 years with it, totalling it's age when it died to 7 years. The electronics were still fine, the plastic case was pretty much falling apart.
You want other stories? My dad used his 2000/2001 laptop (P-III 733MHz/512MB RAM) until mid-last year. Yes, it was starting to break apart physically, and it was getting pretty slow for his uses. The laptop he now has (Core i7/4GB RAM) will most likely outlive him.
My brother? I got him a dumpster-sourced laptop. Compaq Evo N800c. According to this review it's a 2003 laptop. I upgraded the thing from 512MB RAM to 2GB (~100€) and put in a 80GB HDD I had lying around. Reinstalled WinXP Pro (License sticker was present, no problem reinstalling it). That is a 8 year old laptop. Functioning today... No problems, doing his youtube, email, and the golden oldie games we used to play when we were younger: Halflife 1, GTA3, GTA 3 Vice City.
In my humble opinion, the longevity of PC laptops is greatly understated, while the longevity of Apple laptops is greatly overstated. Okay, perhaps I got an iBook lemon series... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Mac mini's come with iOS now as Apple wants them to Tivoized to not compete with their more expensive macs.
I'm no Apple fanboi, I only recommend them to computer illiterates and people who want a Unix system with a clean GUI. I was, however, intrigued by the truthfulness of your statement and it is simple: You are wrong: Included software: Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
You may be thinking of the Apple TV. That one never ran a full OS X. You could hack it (at least the original ones) to get it running OS X...
AC: He said that she is not very computer literate. Believe me, even if he supported Windows or Apple, she probably wouldn't buy music online. My wife is not computer literate, either. She used to have a PC with Windows XP, she couldn't do much with it (Burn a CD? No chance in hell, I usually had to do it). When it finally broke (after respectable 6 years of functioning - blown caps), we replaced it with an iMac. The primary reason, for her, it being pretty. For me the primary reason was the hope of having to help her less. I tried explaining that she could now buy music on iTunes and put it directly on her iPod. (I am aware you could do that on Windows too, but iTunes on Windows isn't exactly a nice program) I even set up an account for her in such a way she technically just had to click "Buy".
To this day, she has never bought a single track on iTunes. She still buys CDs, because that works. She has a CD player in her car, there is one in the living room and it's just inserting the disk and push "play". Oh, and for the record: I bought her that iPod, which resulted in me ripping all her CDs and putting her music on her iPod. Why? Because she won't do it.
My wife isn't 30 yet... It isn't age, as my sister is the same age, and she does the above in her sleep... It is computer literacy, and said computer literacy doesn't come without a certain effort (and probably even a way of thinking) which some people don't want to do.
Which was the intended way? Are you suggesting, it should have.com.de, org.de, etc...? That's fine with me, but the County TLDs are exactly used as intended: to be a set of hosts associated with Germany, which is as you bluntly put it a "flat German national hosts file". However, Germany does have the power to say "enough is enough, companies go under.com.de, non-profits under.org.de, healthcare under.medizin.de, personal people under.person.de, etc, etc, etc..." Nobody stops them from doing such a thing.
There is a problem with this: DNS, as it is, has been conceived by people who would have been slashdot-dwellers. It's a hierarchical system and we do very well with hierarchical systems. A while ago, there was this poll here on slashdot about how people (here) organize their files. The good old directory structure was still the winner. Have you ever seen the home directory of normal users? They do not categorize much. It's all in one dump and if Microsoft (or someone else, I don't want to give them credit) hadn't split up the "Documents", "Photos",... structure, it would all be one big mess.
Fact is: most non-nerds have a really hard time classifying and TLDs are nothing more that the first node of a hierarchical system. If you don't think in a hierarchical way, it's as far as you go.
I'll give you a example: Assume you need an manuals of echography instruments, made by General Electric Germany. I'd construct something like manuals.echografie.medizin.ge.com.de. Several things: I used the german spelling of echography and medical on purpose. After all we're in the "de" category, you'd expect german spelling. Technically, you should invert com/de, because it's a multinational corporation (.com) operating in Germany. I'm perhaps being too strict with manuals, perhaps it should be documents... As you see, starting to overdo it in hierarchy, makes it unusable, because the person doing the categorizing, will most certainly not "think" the same way as the end user. (Again, the end-user is already having a hard time with the concept of categorizing).
There is a reason we computer geeks think of trees as mathematical constructs, whereas normal people think of large plants. (Obligatory)
Why you aren't on +5, Insightful is a mystery to me. Exactly what I think. I think my last vacation totalled 2 pics/day, and that's probably an exaggeration.
I don't understand why you use a phone as an alarm clock. For one it depends on a single power supply, or you have to charge it overnight next to your bed. Second, it uses software prone to bugs. I use a normal alarm clock on 220V, with a backup battery. It invariably goes of in time...
The only time I use my phone as an alarm clock is when I'm on vacation/business trip and even then, hotels have waking services
However, to be frank: These kind of bugs are unacceptable. If this were Microsoft, everyone would be laughing and scolding, but since it's Apple I'm sure we'll get excuses....
Dude, did you even READ what I wrote. It's about TAX horsepower. Look it up it ain't hard. Besides, you're talking about highway? The design goals of the 2CV didn't include highway at all. The original had 9HP (real ones, not the tax horsepower... That was... 2!)
The design goal (at least the as the legend goes) was to get two farmers with their wares over unpaved roads to the market. We're talking roads pre-WW-II, where such a thing as a highway didn't exists. (One of the great legacies of Hitler was the building of the Autobahns... Just in case you didn't know)

Talk about wasting money. Apple isn't cheap, plus you need the Windows 7 Licenses. I'm pretty sure that there must be cool looking PCs somewhere.
