People run micosoft software because the staffing is cheaper. You just named things normal admins can do with normal software and have done for ages, you don't know about it because you run microsoft software.
See I could do this easily. I could have redundant email server attached to LDAP/x.500 and have it all working in under an hour. I'm not even specialized in this domain but I see lots of exchange admin job posts and most of them are low pay. Commercial software just lets you tell some bean counter you kept payroll costs down but you're going to pay microsoft a million dollars a year in licenses and have outages that get handled by microsoft support instead of your internal IT staff.
No the cost of retraining them to use a new email clients doesn't exceed 100k. Outlook's UI is actually very complicated from years of cruft. All the outlook alternatives I've used are much simpler. Let's consider the impact a stray modal dialog has on a new office worker when it's hidden behind their browser and they can't send email all day.
Not sure what I'd replace it with but I know my invites work just fine with my google calendar. Most executive complaints with outlook are related to finding that some feature has moved or one of 100 features doesn't work right. In reality the next iteration of outlook is going to generate some of these complaints but they're going to be much more likely to jump on it, not-outlook will just never get a fair shake from a PHB Outlook is a piece of shit with 20 years of UI cruft including unnecessary modal dialog boxes. Good ideas never stand up to executive discomfort and as soon as their favorite outlook shortcut from the 1990s doesn't work, you're going back to exchange.
Outlook and exchange are the tools of the managerial class. So if it's a choice between learning a brand new email/calendar application or blowing 100k-ish on an exchange/windows license. They'll cling to outlook.
Since now you have a AD controller, exchange server, and the boss running windows it's just a slow creep until you're back to Microsoft. It's interesting how much you can intuit about a company by how much microsoft they have running.
Lots of Monday morning quarterbacks in this thread. They keep putting so much money in his bank account he barely even has time to spend it. When you're the CEO you have to prioritize your time and lots of small things simply don't make the cut.
He doesn't have time for small details like that when they keep giving him so much money to spend. It takes literally all his time burning though that hot paycheck.
I find it very useful for staying in touch with old friends and family actually but I think we'll all eventually move to whatever's next. I also love arguing with randos, meme spamming, trolling.
The Russia thing has taken the fun out of trolling. I can never trust that I'm interacting with an actual moron.
I have to admit I've only investigated it because I just don't have enough devices to justify it. I use a regular remote to turn on my tv and a wireless keyboard that is attached to my media center PC. I used this for a long time though. https://www.amazon.com/gp/prod... I'd even used it to write code. It eventually broke and I went to the store and bought a cheap logitech wireless that works ok. But if you're like me this remote is probably the best I've used and I've tried about 10 different devices over the years.
I know there was one android app that let you specify your own layout with an gui-builder-lite type thing. But if you go that way, it might be best just to write your own remote.
It might have been addictive for awhile but it's getting pretty dull and feels more like myspace every day. I have a feeling the culture will eventually become dumb and toxic enough that the thing implodes an people will move to some other format for social media. Given Zuckerberg's interest in other social media platforms I have to wonder if he feels the same way.
I don't have much proof but it's happened to every similar service and website before it.
I watched the video and happen to know that's not how you do it anyhow. Are you even real? You act like someone who has brain parasites. Did your ex make you clean out the catbox?
I once found what appeared to be a genuine DPRK propaganda facebook page. Almost everyone that was subscribed was there to laugh at it and throw tomatoes.
Eventually I unsubscribed. I couldn't shake the feeling that liking the page was signing me up for additional review by some NSA watchlist.
You can buy an IR blaster that goes into the audio jack on the old cell phone sitting in your junk drawer and install any of the actively maintained FOSS remote apps to be your new-forever universal remote control. If you want physical buttons to push such phones are nearly free these days. Cost: under 10 dollars and probably supported forever.
It all depends on how they actually managed to intelligently merge images in the optical assembly. It seems strange though it's not as though nobody else does similar things. It would be like stepping on a GIF patent when there's a perfectly acceptable PNG you could have used to accomplish the same thing.
I happen to be a fan of the deluxe workplace/low pay:)
I mean it's not like low engineer pay isn't well over median household income anyhow (except for Slashdot's pet closet cleaner). Boozy parties once or twice a week. A boss who has nice things to say. One month of vacay a year.
It's a shame that most Americans will never know what it feels like to live this way.
Clickfarming is a business with minimal economic value and it leaves you praying with your fingers crossed with each Ali Express purchase. Given Alibaba's potential this makes total sense.
Sure. But the compensation package is just good enough to keep people around until they're fully vested and then they take it out the door, it's common to take a long break from work after the end of a stint at AMZN. That's Amazon's formula for keeping top talent around until they're totally burned out and can be replaced with a fresh crop of good engineers to burn.
You can't pull off that trick with Walmart's attitude towards workers.

This is why he gets paid the big bucks! Not just anyone is capable of staying this conveniently negligent and uninformed.
We have every right to talk about how stupid it is. :) Oh silly stupid us.
Naturally we're poor and just jealous in the eyes of the Apple consumer
Concrete actually gets harder over time. It's a fantastic material that we should be using more not just in construction.

I am from a time of 16 bit processing my friend.
In soviet russia rubles troll me.
Comrade I hate to tell you but nobody will give you any rubles for trolling slashdot in 2017.
