They are surveying enterprises of certain size, and asking someone (who? the manager?) if their perception is if they are understaffed or not. Similar sized networks could be seen as under or overstaffed depending of how much troubles they have, how much busy they feel, a quiet datacenter with half of the usual staff could be seen as overstaffed if no troubles or most of the common trobles are solved automatically, compared with a chaotic one with lots of troubles. Where i work in a year we passed from a perception of understaffed situation, where troubles jump at every moment, to an almost overstaffed one, same datacenter size, almost half of the people, but better architecture.
You are right. I should put in my resume my slashdot UID instead of my email... t least if it could give me extra points (or take away, if more than just taking into account the id read my comments around that date, that would put my karma into another level).
But if is just because the opinion that i could get because one thing or the other, there are plenty of free mail redirection services that could give you "respectable" email addresses (i.e. probably you could get yourname@yourprofession.com) or just throwaway alias addresses while keeping your personal (maybe meaningful just for you) email address
Combine both into 3d glasses, you give the 3d showing slightly different screen for each eye, Add augmented reality to the mix and you'll have an explosive cocktail. And you can add exrta features like vision enhancement (ok, for that dont need to be transparent, just project camera vision as background) to be able to use them if you are shortsighted
Is dead and buried, but from time to time try to come out of the grave. It's time to kick ass and chew brains, and seems that around him all is out of brains.
Thats for what are cfengine and Puppet. Most of what a sysadmin do that can be described as "several shell scripts" can be done by them. But you need sysadmins to do the initial configuration, the changes (unless you have a fixed system, everything evolves with time) and of course, the unexpected.
Microsoft always been the opposite to the voice of reason. Why have 3D TV when there is so few content for it and add so little to the experience? In the other hand, games are the usual pusher of the boundaries of what hardware can do. Games are personal (not a social experiencie where you need to have a pair of glasses for everyone around), trying to be in a way or another 3d since 20 years ago, and if there is a way to take advantage of it, a game will be the 1st to use it.
To end all theologist discussions, In Windows God isn't almighty, can't erase from existence bugs/worms/virus, nor avoid Blue/Black Screen Of Death, no matter how much wish for that.
Just yesterday was reading about Isolate (http://code.google.com/p/isolate/) that looks going to the core of the problem. You can sandbox any app, but not needing to sandbox all the desktop/OS/etc for that. So if your browser or media player, or other programs could have a risk of doing locally something you dont want, you can run it in a way that don't touch or modify anything private. in a very easy way.
Remember where mp3 players were geek-only gadgets? or touchscreens or cheap/small notebooks something without future?
Technology advances, and people preference does too. Maybe 5 years ago tablets had no big appeal, culture wasnt built on consumers, then most smartphones started to have a touchscreen, but maybe sometimes you fould feel that the screen is too small and you are start to build a potential market. Foldable keyboards or twistable screens to turn tablets back and forth to something more like notebooks/desktops could help a bit in that area too.
Sometimes this kind of things ends being just fads, but if that is the case with tablets, probably won't be evident this year.
a different internet that i will still recognize in 2015. More than a pipedream goal for 2020, matters how we evolve current internet to it, while everything is working, at a very cheap or close to zero cost, and in an open way. Without all those components, you wont be able to succeed.
we always are. You can say whatever about an individual person, but in big numbers we could be considered gadgets, either in virtual or in real world. Web 2.0 is just our last expression as crowd. Oh, there are exceptions, but we usually call them crazy, unfitting, unadapted, or even terrorists (but probably not genious, once a lot of people think that it becomes imitated and becomes a new kind of gadget)
Inertia could make your car crash even if you started to turn when saw the danger. A few meters more could be the difference between your life or death.

The Shrike broke it. Reporter Dan Simmons included that scene in the next Hyperion book.

Believing all that say those reports, and doing quick and wrong choices.
Like when you study information theory because don't like physics, and the basis of physic world, like gravitation, turns to be information theory.
They want to be ready for the next July 4 just in case they need someone capable to infiltrate into some alien computer system.

wanting privacy => guilty of something. Maybe for the ones that claim that is true.

The real trouble happened when tried to put 2 Aztecs in 1 Cup. Associated a whole new twist to the taste of their coffee.

"scanned, rehashed, and misrepresented by crowds of sloppy readers"... he KNEW that this will be posted on slashdot.
Windows 7 got released.
