There are a whole lot of things that you can mean by "manage." Are you looking for asset management? Configuration management? Security? Software upgrades? All of the above?
I think if you can decide what it is you want to manage, you'll be better able to find tools that you need. Yes, plural; because what's a kick-butt asset management tool may suck at making sure all your servers are patched.
Also, when the high temperature was achieved, the Z machine was releasing more energy than was originally put in, something that usually occurs only in nuclear reactions.
Of course, the fact that you've got a large population in an area (mostly) poorly suited for farming doesn't help things much.
Cue the Sam Kinnison routine: "You see this? IT'S SAND. You can't fucking grow things in it. We have fucking deserts too, we just don't fucking live in them. The way to solve the problem isn't to get them food, it's to bring them U-Hauls and make them MOVE TO WHERE THE FOOD IS."
I third the Sennheiser recommendation. I have a set of K141's that I just love to death. Loved them so much I had to get the elastic replaced for the headband and a new set of ear cushions.
I wasn't a bit surprised to find out that (a) parts were available, and (b) it was rather easy to renovate them with a set of jeweler's tools. Voila, the K141's are back in business for another 20 years or so.
The company is cheap. There's about 50 computers / 150 employees and they do anything they can to save a buck. Sadly, I've tried explaining to them that they're making bad decisions, but the VP and President don't want to listen to a 21-year-old college student telling them about decisions.
Replace that bolded with "anyone else" and you have a snapshot of the job I spent a miserable 18 months in. I was responsible for the network, the servers, the workstations, everything. Except the purse strings. I once opened a closet and found two pieces of network wire terminated, by God, with wire nuts.
The straw was when they claimed that the server was out of memory which was why it was so slow. I tried to tell them that the silver satin telco wire (untwisted) that they were using as horizontal cabling was most likely the problem with slowdowns and collisions and network logjams, but they wouldn't believe it; besides, they had hundreds of these spools of satin cable laying around and I'd have to go purchase Cat-5. "Go get more memory." I handed him my two-weeks instead.

have you tried contacting either strawn or knowlton, two of the dudes who were apparently part of the project?
I'm burning mod points, darn it, but I just couldn't resist...
Hidden passages throughout the house, including a tunnel or two!
You mean like this?
A publically traded corporation is by law, required to uphold the interests of the shareholders foremost, above anything else.
Really? Izzat so?
Then Johnson & Johnson's been violating the law since 1943.
Companies are now beholden ONLY to stockholders.
Not necessarily.
At least one company puts the stockholders LAST in the priority list.
Truly "personal" computers on the university network are another story. I don't know the best ending to that one.
"No." Meaning that such devices are not allowed.
That's the way my company does it. If it's an asset owned by the corporation, it is allowed to get Ethernet packets. If not, it's not.
I bring my personal machine in, but there's no cat5 going into it even though it's safer by far than any corporate machine.
Let's see. The experiment released more energy than it expended....
Let me think a minute.
Yes.
And, (dramatic pause,)
this "begs the question" of whether there's an A.
Hah. Finally got to use it correctly. Go me.
I'm gonna start launching "ME" flags at all the nearest celestial bodies.
And as soon as you do, you can expect a visit from SCO's lawyers.

Oh, you have been sigged.

Well, it's nice to see that at least someone applied some brain before passing a patent.
The "inventor", on the other hand, apparently passed some brain before applying for a patent.
Oh geez, just mod that post "retarded." Mixed up the sennheisers with the AKGs once again. Wish I could make up my freakin' mind.

Though I must say I have always had a weakness for hardware that comes with cases big enough to live in and requires forklifts to move... :)
Never trust a computer you can lift, I always say.
i don't care if is off topic!
neither do i. Thanks for that link. Made MY day a little sweeter.

I'm not making it up.
Great minds think alike. Never even saw that one. LOL

I wonder what I will do when I see a green speckle forming on an image

Start drinking Sterno. Rapidly.
