I notice you don't mention anything in the political arena. Nothing about lobbying Congress, political ads, etc. Those are the areas in which IT workers need the most help.

Should IT Unionize?

Sounds like you have a bad union.
Good unions look out for all employees, not just the bad ones. They work to improve the work place and the employee's place in the company. Bad unions have leadership that is corrupt and revels in power, protects bad employees, and tries to run the company for the benefit of the employees at the expense of the health of the company. An example of a bad union is the UAW.
A couple of years ago, a guy tried to start an IT PAC. He got no support from the community. There are two articles, that I know of, here on Slashdot about it. Once announcing it and one announcing it's end.
His biggest problem is that IT people preferred to complain about things than contributing money and time to changing them.
I work for one of the Big Three. And, I do production support for text messaging, so I am involved in the nitty-gritty of how messages are transferred.
You are wrong. My company provides inter-carrier service between some U.S. carriers and a number of Asian countries, including China. Many of those messages contain kanzi characters.
Marketeers don't understand that things like that are annoying. Even if they find such things annoying, the think "It is great that MY ads are annoying like the one's I hate!".
It is called denial and it is more than a river in Egypt.
Yeah, are you sure about that? Which inter-carrier service do you work for?
I ask because I know that many services use store and forward, that most SMS and MMS services use SMTP to transfer messages, that the ICS I work for does a lot of billing for all their customers.
So, please, tell us which ICS you work for, because I would be really interested to know.
SMS is very popular in Japan and China. And, international interoperability between many U.S. carriers and China is going quite well. I know because I work for a company that makes it possible. We have millions of SMS and MMS messages flowing through our servers to many different countries.
Most cell phones are loaded area specific alphabets, so Greek, Cryllic, and even Arabic is available on phones. I know because I worked for a major international cell phone manufacturer and have seen the phones.
Maybe you should actually learn about a subject before you prove your ignorance.
Actually, it is that Linux is not ready for most people.
Linux on the desktop is good for exactly 3 types of users:
People who want to do nothing but surf and send email. Users for whom the basic install is perfect.
Some, not all, UNIX/Linux admins and developers
Linux fanboys
For everyone else, people who want to use off-the-shelf software such as MS Office, Photoshop, Quicken, and the latest games, Linux is the wrong choice.
Apparently, you don't know the meaning of the word "privacy". These cameras are in public, not private. Quit treating public space as private and you won't have any problem.
Like the anarchists care? They only care because they were busted before they could riot and loot.
You only care because you think they should be allowed to riot and loot.
Personally, I think they should be shot when they riot and loot.
Oh, and you would pitch a fit if some conservative protesters did to the DNC what these shits are planning for the RNC, so that makes you a hypocrite as well.
He's clearly an Obama admirer and phrases his challenge this way: "What non-obvious things can nerds who are so inclined do to help the Democrats win in November?" But the question itself is not inherently partisan.
The statement "But the question itself is not inherently partisan." refers to the question preceding it: "What non-obvious things can nerds who are so inclined do to help the Democrats win in November?".
That question ("What non-obvious things can nerds who are so inclined do to help the Democrats win in November?") is, in fact, partisan.
Is that simple enough for your limited intellect to comprehend?
Slashdot Mirror
No, their equipment was paid for by them. This is cellular architecture. No stop being a dumbass.
You seem to have forgotten something. We are going to access OUR public airwaves and connect to what?
That is right, THEIR equipment.
Yes, because everyone needs to be treated like a two year-old. No, we can't expect people to act like adults and be responsible for their own actions.
I am disgusted with you and everyone like you, people who think that no one should be responsible themselves.
This is not "Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues". This is "What BetaNews thinks Sarah Palin's Stance on Technology Issues are".
Except for the huge number of lusers who have multiple accounts so they can mod-stalk and mod-troll.

hey, look, my mod stalkers are back.
88% of IT Admins are unethical dirtbags.
