Management does not know the difference. If they did, they wouldn't be outsourcing in the first place, but rather hiring a competent staff that can do the same job with less resources.
I'd buy the roku device, if it ever came to market. I love my soundbridge. Great price, documented network control protocol, links to a nice listing service so you have pretty much nothing to set up. Good stuff.
I have a pretty powerful sports car. Usually when somebody tries that shit with me, they get toyed with...as in, you *think* you're going to get around me, but when it's all over you're going to be 4 cars back. Dipshit. Do not pass me on the right. If I'm not going fast enough for your liking in the left lane, there is a reason for it.
Word processing and spreadsheets for writing and doing lab reports. Any other money that you wanted to spend on computer crap is better spent on good teachers, and new books where appropriate.
scada networks are a scary mess. Luckily most of the systems they control are usually designed by an engineer and if someone were to take control, the safeguards will usually keep most bad things from happening. But still...
Actually, it's usually that impatient dick that passes on the right and then swerves back to the left, causing a ripple of red lights back for miles. It takes only one idiot like that to cause a jam.
Actually, satellite view is very helpful when navigating someplace you have never been before. You know, so you know what the building looks like, what landmarks are around it, etc.
I was once disoriented while driving near my folks' house. I saw what looked like a local business of some sort, with a circular driveway. I used it to turn around. Just as the owner is getting home.
She saw fit to actually BLOCK me from leaving her driveway by parking her huge SUV across the exit and was screaming up a storm about me trespassing on her property and such. I've never seen this behavior quite as bad as it is in Central Pennsylvania. Central PA rednecks and their damned property. Heaven forbid if you are lost and stumble upon it. I've seen this attitude over and over here, and nowhere else.
As an aside, I prefer trespass not even require posting; unless you KNOW you have permission to be on a piece of property, you shouldn't be on it. You shouldn't be able to root around my car anymore than you should be able to root around on my property.
And that attitude, right there, is the biggest problem with land use in pennsylvania. The game commission has really made a lot of enemies with their banning of recreational use a few years back. Now to get money, the land is being logged. yay.
I think you'd find that if you would reject on obvious stupid things, and implement greylisting, that the amount of stuff you would actually have to process would go waaaaay down.
My company (and my home server) reject (mail does not get delivered, but an error is sent back to the originating server) on the following:
- not using a FQDN (i just look for a '.' fer cryin' out loud) in a helo greeting - claiming to be my server in a helo greeting - using an rfc1918 address in a helo greeting - claiming to be a from address from my domains - rcpt throttling against dictionary attacks - greet pause. If they start spewing before they've been acknowledged, Bzzt! - their server is on the spamhaus zen list - not in the whitelist for greylisting. Tempfail here, not reject. Spam zombies tend to not queue and try again.
that gets rid of 80+ % of the crap, with minimal processing (reject before they even start to send the message itself...hooray mimedefang!). The rest then goes through filtering and is flagged if spammy by spamassassin.
Sadly, I do see myself somewhat siding with Lucas on this one. The only reason being, that I would be apalled at anybody creating and profiting off of calvin & hobbes stuff (yeah, the stickers on trucks really piss me off, especially those of calvin praying at a cross). Watterson (did) and Lucas continues to fight against people using their stuff, but for totally opposite reasons. Watterson believed in keeping his characters pure to his vision. Lucas is simply greedy. He ruins his own 'vision' on his own well enough.
The story is scant on details about the lessons, but describes one recently at a high school where the presenter showed a social-networking profile of a convicted sex offender posing as a 15 year-old girl. "
Which is ok to do, if you work for Chris Hansen...
A friend of mine from work once thought that steed was a type of horse. I think I was referring to my mountain bike as a 'steed' and as an explanation I talked about a 'steel horse' like in Bon Jovi's song. He argued that the lyrics were 'Steed Horse.'. Poor guy still gets harrassed about that to this day.
My connection was nearly useless all of saturday. Funny thing is that my vonage and mail server (on nonstandard port) continued to work flawlessly. All http(s) was borked for most of the day, however.
Pre-loaded or not, it is in Dell's best interests to sell hardware that is linux-compatible. You shouldn't have any problems loading it on dell equipment. At least with servers.
Dell sells to a lot of very large companies (including government) that do a whole lot of linux.
They don't snoop on my mail, thanks, since I use TLS to the next gateway (which isn't owned by the ISP). Of course, all bets are off regarding what *they* may be doing with the mail, but it won't be my ISP doing it.
Comcrap was 'down' all day here. Funny how my vonage service, and mail servers (using non-standard ports to dyndns mailhop, apparently mail was hit as well) were fine, though.
...opensuse 10.3's autoyast would properly configure networking on a dell 860 or 2950.
and...
WTF is the point of copying autoyast user scripts to a location on the hard drives to run from...if they unmount the #!@$!@#$ install media (CD here) before they do the #!$#@!$ copy????
Look into the Roku Soundbridge. Great little device. And it has a fully documented network control protocol, so you can write your own utilities to control it (and even write to its display). It took me all of 5 minutes to have my existing callerid daemon write to it, for example.
Sounds great, has a nice interface, and takes literally minutes to set up (mine grabbed my neighbor's wifi before I even had a chance to configure it. DOH!).

Sorry, couldn't resist. 3 ED.
The behavior you describe works fine in pidgin as well. detaching and reattaching tabs is also that easy.
Well stated.

A video game takes a bit more than an hour, and definitely takes more effort to produce.
