You don't have to worry about unions/labour boards or whatever , but the first thing I would do is arrange a meeting with all of my co-workers/affected employees. Stick together and tell them to shove it. In my experience most of these tactics are bluff and usually not worth the paper they are written on - if you enter into an agreement under duress the agreement can be nullified. This is basically a threat - it may be common practise and give some business types a hard-on , but you don't have to cop it.
"Eddie Bleasdale, director of open source consultancy Netproject, said..... "The whole point is that you do not have commercial people developing the code."
So it is only open and free if they got it for *free*
Hypocrites. They still do not support linux for their cable - remember that Telstra is Aussie for Telecommunications monopoly. Not only is linux not supported - it is against the usage policy to use anything other than the bigpond login client to connect to the bigpond cable network. Since they only have a wintel client , linux is actually banned.
This article is basically one big troll

I'm sure if the contents were included in a comment here they'd be modded as flamebait.
A typical quote from this article:
"There does indeed appear to be a circle jerk between commercialized blackhat sellouts and the Feds; and the cons do appear, perhaps inadvertently, to provide the venue and privacy needed for such liaisons."
There is no substance whatsoever for any of the wild claims this bloke is making. Leet-speak junk.
Why choose OSX server ? Why does your server need all the gui goodies , digital hub blah blah that makes OSX so nice to use ?
This is an area where linux/BSD excels , can be configured for the job at hand ( read stable ) and can run on suitable-no-bullshit-run-what-ya-brung hardware. What a waste of nice hardware and software to confine it as a server when there are much more suitable tools to do the job - and do it cheaper and better.
Do they have electricity in Auckland yet ? I was looking eastward a couple of years back and the lights went out all of a sudden. They haven't come back on yet...so either the power is still off or the last person out really did turn off the lights.
Now it makes sense why internet.com pulled their finger out and consolidated their very neglected holdings. They weren't just being nice at all. linuxnewbie has been screaming out for a face lift for over a year now. Competition did the trick.
First time that crapflooding will be on-topic !

It's really the opposite. Kangaroo & Dingo populations have exploded to pest proportions - they have adapted well. OTOH , Koala , Platypus , many small marsupials and amphibians have not coped well with agriculture and urban sprawl.
Then there is the grey nurse shark , several species of tuna and some seabird populations that are also endangered.
Nah... you just have to use it upside down.Their Q&A covers this situation :
"This device is specially designed for WIA.You will touch the window shining blue on the device, and move the finger to the direction you would like to move the pointer in the screen.You can use it in any situation.You can use it upside down, which is preferable when you read books in bed, or when you have to read a maintenance manual while you are working"
No-one would specify an OS / Platform or any other detail that is not necessary. A good specification in an RFQ ( Request for Quote) or an RFT (tender) outlines essential & desirable criteria. By specifying outcomes rather than details the market is opened up and the benefits of an open proceurement policy are seen - including $$$ savings , quality and probity.
The problems faced when writing specs are legacy systems & applications - staff knowledge & training included. It may be necessary to specify exact hardware / software ; you may be able to specify "compatibility" requirements rather than exact products ; or in the best case you can write an outcomes only based spec.
It's horses for courses though. The more open the better generally - if you start closing your specs you start removing some of the benefits - $$$$ , probity for example. But , if you have to run the app on an NT4 box with IIS then spec it that way.
If you need compatability with Office apps then spec it that way.
If you need Office then just order a copy. Once you water down your spec by being too tight you may as well just buy the product you want. There is no point issuing an RFQ if there is no market to test. And sometimes this is the best option to take.

Closely followed by this horseshit comment :

Garbage misinformation abounds.
Right now.
This is really news for nerds. I can't see that it matters though.

2100 is not.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he will sit next to a river and drink beer all day.

A genuine crapflood!
hoping for a contract to solve the problem he created.
Isn't this exactly what happened with y2k ? Consultants talked up a problem in the hope of being paid to "fix" it.
It's not so unique
It should read .."cash in on redhat's dominance"
These companies came in on the wave of redhat
So they wont use rpm then ?

QueueSync works well. Just be sure to read the warnings in the docs. They're a good read anyway.
eg " HotSync does the folder that the inside of the list box is chosen"
Try the app and the docs make sense.
" I believe Inferno achieved what Java set out to do. "
Have a look. webmin
