If IBM has reaped the profits of business operations that wound up poisoning and killing their employees, why should the employees (or their survivors) not sue for compensation?
Everything that you do involves risk. Apparently for you, this means that the risk is shifted to the employee when things go badly, but stay with the company when things go well (as the company keeps the reward associated with the risk).
Tell that to the people inside the now-not-responding plane, or in the flight path of the now-not-navigating missile! It's not like microwaves are going to make these things disappear, is it?
which, I think, developed from the presence of Sing Sing penitentiary in Ossining, NY, north of New York City on the shores of the Hudson River.
I think you may have combined that with "Up the creek without a paddle", which is what the idiot subject of this whole discussion is now (and rightly so).
American Culture? Isn't that like Jumbo Shrimp or Military Intelligence?
I work for a big, blue company, and you can bet that the checks had better be VERY regular. Of course, they're a bit more well-heeled than just about everyone, but this isn't my hobby. It's a JOB. I enjoy it, but I sell my time to my employer so I can buy what I need to live.
Showing up to work even one day after having your paycheck not be there is crazy.
I've had a 390E for about the past 2 years as well, and have NEVER had a problem with the drive (or anything else on it, for that matter). Sounds like you just had a patch of bad luck...
When has any nation done something not in its own self-interest? Muslims being slaughtered in Eastern Europe, and no one stops it, American or otherwise.
Maybe if they had oil, things would be different...
When my oldest son started Kindergarten in his (parochial) school in 1998, the computer lab consisted of 15 Apple ][s (some GS, some c, some e). Thanks to the IBM K-12 Matching Grants Program, I was able to purchase new hardware for the school at 1/5 of the list price (about $200 for each PC, plus some printers and scanners). I've also rebuilt more than a dozen PCs donated by local businesses for use in the school library. Thanks to a friend in another local business, I had a box of 10Mb Ethernet NICs and wired up both the lab and the library.
Now if I only knew what to do with the Apples...

CS vs CIS

· Score: 2
As someone who changed careers with a Master's in IS, I have very little regard for the degree. (Of course, it got me in the door in my new job, but I had a LOT to learn on my own when I got there. I still do.)
While systems analysis and design are crucial skills, they are NOT going to be utilized by people just coming out of school with their Bachelor's degrees. IS should be aimed at experienced CS and BS(business) graduates as a career development step. Instead, it seems to be treated as 'CS lite' and targeted toward lazy CS-inclined students as a moneymaker for universities.

I have a question. Wasn't there a composition requirement in your curriculum? You may be making a lot of money, but you strike me as a functional illiterate.
If you look again at the article, you'll see that the submitter used the 'blowhard' comment, not Hemos. If anything, Hemos is guilty of not editing out a derogatory comment.
If you upgrade the server code, you're working outside of the Domino/Notes security model during the install (since the server isn't running at the time), and when you start the server again after the code upgrade and upgrade the design of your system databases, you're 1. working under the authority of the server's ID and not your user ID and 2. working on local databases, not databases you're accessing through a client/server session.
So, you're not defeating Domino security in this instance. If you managed to install the new code without proper authority, that would be an OS breach, not a Domino breach.
Since it's entirely possible that some of the 'nerds' out there have to support MS-based enterprises (or friends that treat them like a personal help desk:0( ), it's good to know about this kind of information. As a Domino/Notes admin who has to work with Win32 all the time (no Linux client, as has been discussed ad nauseum), I don't have to worry about infection, but see how it can be relevant to many readers of this site.
AFAIK, slashdot is not the "linux-only news for nerds" site, and I hope it stays that way.

I've been using the Fedora-based beta for a few months now, and it's been working very well. However, I've been hearing rumors that it's a dead end.
This has spurred a hot legal debate raising an interesting question: which is more important, tourist dollars or the truth?
This is taking place in America, right? OF COURSE it's the money!
Does this mean that bowling balls will no longer be allowed on airplanes?
You are exactly right on this. The only damage done here is to the credibility of @stake and to Microsoft, and that is self-inflicted.
Was it right for @stake to fire Geer? I don't think so. However, it's not illegal (as far as I know; IANAL).
But Microsoft says that Java is not a reliable language in NT's EULA! They say not to use it for life-support or nuclear control equipment!
It CAN'T be safe!

Go ahead and pull yours out. I'll pull out just enough to beat you.
sounds more like something out of the Third Reich to me.
