Education is a great tool, but it is not that easy to educate thousands of employees that are 5 years away from retirement. espically when the VP of IS&T sends a email to everyone in the company with a 1mb attachment thus killing the wan for an hour and a half.
Damn all you insensitive people with window offices. I work in the basement. I have noticed that the flat pannel monitor I use does a good job of cutting down on the glare from the florecent bulbs. Which brings me to my point. Roomer has it(according to the best buy salesman) that a flat screen TV cuts glare by 60-80%. I would imagine the same would hold true to a flatscreen monitor or flat pannel monitor.
Call it unbreakable, and have a web site set up to allow people to test it. Hackers will break it, they get a 1000 dollar reward for showing you how, and you promptly fix it. Once it's fixed, it give it the term unbreakable again. That would be a lot cheaper than having 10 hackers on staff and paying there salary and benifits.
Calling it unbreakable sounds like a great R&d plan to me.
and by all means they should crack down on cheating because there is not a workplace in america that encourages a team enviroment where they excel by utilizing others strongpoints.
i don't know what is worse, you taking time out of your day and min to tell us that lil tid bit, or the fact that i am taking time out of my day to reply.....duh
You should only think about yourself. Look out for your best interests because nobody else is. I've seen small(>50 employees before the layoff, 3 employees after) and large companies lay-off workers with little notice. I wouldn't tell them until 2 weeks before you plan on leaving.
2nd peice of advice, don't sign anything that may prevent you from changing jobs. I had to sign a year agreement which prevented me for applying for other jobs within the company before they would send me to training. The job I was waiting for for over a year was posted 2 months later, but I couldn't apply. oh well only 30 days left
No, my time is not worthless. I value my time greatly. which is why the uptime of a linux server is at the top of my list. even if it does take longer to set up(i have never done a side by side comparison) it would still be less in the long run.
The corp. i work for uses lotus notes. about 12000 users. It's a nightmare, I don't know if it's the domino server, or the nt boxes that have the problem, but either way it's the most unstable service in our company.
I believe that if you look into it, they have a 10/100 switch on the other end of your network drop. Weither you get a WAP with a 10 or 100mbps interface, the switch will probibly still work with your WAP
It is not that clear cut. Data is "Numerical or other information represented in a form suitable for processing by computer." Software is "The instructions executed by a computer." If your spread sheet only contains information that is sutable for processing, than your good to go. However if you have programmed functions into your spread sheet, than instructions are being executed.
If I were you I would get lawyer. They may back down, but chances are you will have a long drawn out process where you can still sell your software(if your attorney is good).
Another way to apporach this problem is to be hired as a consultant to show them a better method of setting up their spreadsheet. I don't believe that the gaming commision would be able to do anything about that, they can't charge you for methods you showed a client that assist to gaming because then they would have to require every consultant to pay the 10000$ fee.
Wireless cards are cheap. I would simply get a wireless 802.11b card with a prism II chipset, follow the info @ this site http://www.cafwap.net/prism2ap/ and this site http://www.linuxrouter.org and you will be able to roam free without the hassels of cordes. And if you follow this guide http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/02q1/020111/ you will also be able to contain all of this info in a small unit hidden behind the beer fridge. While your @ it you can use the linux router as an FTP server to store all of your homework so you can access them anywhere on campus.
nope, you aren't the only one. i too was picturing an as400 @ the next lan party.

What is .NET?

· Score: 1
.net is microsoft trying to gain control of the current java market in order to insure the continuation of their monopoly as people begin to develop more web based applications.
microsoft's entire reason for trying to dominate the browser market was to make sure they had a market share when web based programs became more dominate.
Now that they have a web browser market share, they see java as their uncontrolled downfall. solution: develop a replacement.

Disaster Recovery?

· Score: 1
I agree. The IT department I work for has an exellent Disaster Recovery program, if the Data center I am currently in were to burn to the ground we can have everything operational as if nothing happened within 36 hours.
as for recovering without a plan. If there was anything that you always wished you could go back to the begining and change, now's the time:-)
ok....mark me as flamebait or off topic....but i just can't reading statements like these, and never say anything. so here is my official remark. beowulf clusters are great....but when people start talking about clustering evrything under the sun i quite frankly find it annoying. i long for the day that i can read an entire slashdot editorial @ -1 nested and not see a comment about a cluster of wrist watches. Mark this how you like, but enough is enough, lets cluster in reason. lets not be frevilous and wastefull with our clusters, for we may give the phrase beowulf cluster a bad name. ok....
One oversight that I have noticed during the debates about economy is that yes cars get 20-40 mpg while going down the highway, maybe even better if you drive an insight, but they don't get that kind of mileage while stuck in a traffic jam during rush hour. These will, if nothing else prevent the congestion that you experience when everyone decided to take the same pipe to work in the morning. The only problem I see is landing/parking.

Just my 2 cents worth
compaq has been doing this for @ least 4 years.
Even 64bit 66Mhz PCI has a max (in theory) of 528 Megabytes/sec.
Remember that Gbit is not Gbyte. 8 bit's to a byte. 528*8=4224.
Also keep in mind that this is currently designed for desktops, but servers and interswitch communication.

I work for an international company, all of our employee's who travel outside the U.S. use a compuserve connection.

Have a standard color for patch cables(i prefer blue) and make sure that your cross over cables are a different color(i prefer yellow).

Good call.
and ofcourse when dealing wiht critical data you would want to use a protocal such as udp to ensure a complete, error free transfer of your data.
Does anyone remember this same question being asked before?

if this would act like a gyroscope. I'm imagining a force feedback effect being rather annoying while trying to game.
