I don't think so. Find his list of games. There is one game of actual note (Paranoia), and that's not so much a game as a drug induced interactive story.
No, at first glance this looks like yet another entry into the "Those who don't, teach; those who can barely teach, write buzzword motivated instructional books" category.
Aren't ISPs required by law to keep generally more incriminating information for longer? Haven't multiple bank/credit agencies 'lost' the whole of personal information for tens of thousands of customers lately? Why is Google's privacy suddenly more worrying?
Perhaps I've merely met a bad lot, but recruiters care far more about getting paid [by their clients, the game companies] than for the product they're selling [you].
Sure, just like hundreds of industries and mediums before it, costs increase as things become more and more lavishly detailed. And just like hundreds of industries and mediums before it, good stuff still beats lavishly detailed every day of the week.
Sure, a good indy movie might be hard to find; your local streetcorner jazz musician might not get a strong following; Animal Planet might not get Super Bowl ratings, but they all exist, and they're all successful to one degree or another despite not having the marketing clout or production values of Big Industry.
You are spying on your own citizens. Claiming a company is being un-american because they're abiding by other states' laws when you cannot follow your own is a little silly.
You won't allow half a dozen four letter words on TV, and heaven forbid any boobies. Decrying censorship is hypocritical.
Because Microsoft isn't a multi billion dollar company because they hold a tiny market share... Taking even a meager 5% of their business means you're profiting more than a billion dollars. And google is one of the only, if not the only company with both the technical skills and the marketing clout to realistically accomplish it.
No, it's time for people to stop trying to stuff everything into a web browser, pass everything over http. If you need a 'rich client', then make one. Borrow a canned html renderer, use premade networking libraries...
Everywhere I've lived has had little companies to handle just this sort of need. Usually a smallish company which either has a contract setup or agreed hourly billing to act as the IT for a bunch of little companies. One admin will usually share time between about a dozen offices [depending on size and need].
They're really popular for accountants, lawyers, doctors... the sort of people who need computers, but only really ever have a few employees. Ask around.
Motion picture developers though [and to a lesser degree musicians] don't use media sales as their primary income source. They've likely recouped costs from the theatre before a single DVD is ever made.
Game developers only get money from media sales. They also suffer under a publishing oligarchy comperable to the RIAA, who takes up to $25 per product. Going from $25-35 to $5 after discount is by far more damaging than any DVD or CD discount could ever be.
Seems like you missed a step. First you decide if you're going to use an auto-generated code documentation tool like Doxygen. That alone will dictate the majority of any comment-standard.
Chimps know Cause and Effect better than American children. That particular culture seems to have bred complete inability to follow basic scientific principles.
Modern processors, memory, viedo cards... they all are much more powerful, and with that comes a proportional amount of heat. ~10 years ago you could get away with a fan or two in the back. Now you're likely going to need ~3-4 in the back, a good one in the power supply, big ones on the CPU(s) and video card.
A good system is useless if it hits a heat shutdown [or worse] 5 mins after booting.
At least in Symantec's case, Sony is a multi-million dollar customer. They were protecting their customers. Do you really think that the kit harmed 200,000+ $50 a pop Norton customers?
First off, black and white 2 is fun. The combat is simplistic like previous bullfrog games, but that didn't stop them.
Now, I have a fairly beefy computer. Not brand new, but beefy. Dual athlon 1600s, 512mb DDR, GeForce 6800 GT, SBLive... This barely hits the minimum specs for the game. And those specifications are low. Exceptionally low. By the time you exit the tutorial, any mediocre city bumps the ram consumption near 480meg. Fine fine, I'll bump the details to nothing, turn all of the shiny things [and there's many, the game is beautiful] off. By land #5 any sizable city sends my machine into heavy thrashing.
Maybe I'm just old and crotchety, but a game shouldn't require 1.5-2 gigs of ram in minspec mode.
Actually, it's more likely to convert IT Directors who are begrudgingly using *nix for things like web/SQL/http hosting based on the techies' argument that Windows' shell sucks, and can give demostrative proof that they can save the company money using unix shells. The MS Saleguy now can at least say with a straight face that they've got a good scripting system, and can provide case studies where MSH saved someone tons of money.
Hard for the tech to argue then.
And I wouldn't worry about tab completion. Run of the mill win2k cmd has tab completion [if you turn it on] which works nearly the same way as every unixy tab completion feature I've seen [except that it iterates through partial matches rather than beeping and/or listing the partial matches]. To me, that difference is slightly annoying, but not a great impediment to use.
In my experience software doesn't work. At least not in any standard "we're not hiring more people, find the time" IT shop I've worked at. What does seem to work is vacations. Always have a secondary for a given task. When the primary goes on vacation, it's a great time to transfer vital know-how. Further, during the layoff, plenty of the little tidbits surface that need to get transfered and can be after the primary returns.
The point isn't that people want less PCs, it's that their phone is now more powerful than PCs back when PCs were more powerful than people needed. People still want PCs, more than even. They just don't want heavy beige boxes.
Why not simply print the VLAN display of your switch?
If you're using Cisco switches, just print the VLAN list [and comment the VLANs accordingly], and then the port list. Tape to racks as needed. It doesn't take a CCNA to match the number on the list to the number under the port.
Other brands should have similar cli admin mechanisms, which should allow for similar use.
Eh? Japan is less competative than the United States? That is debatable at best. Japan though has societally ingrained sportsmanship to counteract their competativeness. America only has... showmanship.
Europe too has a great competativeness, though it's seen at soccer matches, pubs, and governments more often than with children or business.
I mean, clearly this woman should get a reprieve from her legal responsibility, not to mention her moral obligation as a mother, since she's made so many terrible life decisions!

Real life example why infrastructure should be commonly owned.
Heaven forbid a citizen question their government.

I'm sure that workers at companies without security guards are the paragon of vigilance.

Alas, to live in a land of freedom, where people can do what they please...
