Not really an IP issue... Whether their IP is on your device or theirs you still have "easy" access to it. Security is still the same for either for the most part.
The only real issue is support. To do BYOD you either need to specify EXACTLY what people can or can't use or your employee's have to be smart enough to understand the difference between getting their mail via OWA/ActiveSync vs. IMAP, What features in M$ Word don't work in Libre Office, AD vs LDAP w/ Kerberos, etc.
Switched from Linux to Mac's only about 5 years ago, mostly cause that was when I could afford to go Mac. Don't miss Linux and I have not had any major issues w/ getting OSX to work as I want it too. Still don't find the iOS'ification of the OSX all that bad since the "old" ways are still mostly there.
Mostly my job is doing project work and System Admin, so really as long as I have command line ssh, cssh and a web browser I am good.
My only real gripes at the moment are:
- lack of 32-bit Java or a 64-bit version of Chrome
- Can't customize the UI
- Have to wait for some games to be released
- Discontinued MBP 17":(
Other than that, Meh, I will stick w/ OSX for now.
What difference does it make if they include physical media or not? Dell and other "PC" vendor's don't ship their systems w/ restore disk's anyways. Also, I am one of those guys ppl call or get referred too to fix home systems. 9 times out of 10 most ppl don't have/can't find the install media or they got the system from a surplus sale at their or family members work. The only way they are going to get an OS installed is if they find someone like me who works for cheap or free beer.
So far the only new thing I see is someone selling an OS upgrade for a reasonable price.
I don't think you have ever played FF10 or FF11 since they are completely different games. That would be like comparing Resident Evil to World of Warcraft.
You should of just stopped at M$ Office... Or just start using OpenOffice for "free" since it is more compatible w/ current formats than a 13yr old version of M$ Office.
PS - I only rant cause you disrespect a part of my childhood w/ your Nick and the stupidity of your post.
Supposedly the guy who couldn't hook up my Comcast cable was on a work release program and fresh out of training. At least this is what was told to me by his "supervisor" who had to come out and finish the hookup.
Actually, I am pretty sure if you go into windows Display settings there is also a similiar "warning"/check box about "unsafe" refresh rates. So in theory you could do the same thing w/ a Windows machine if not careful.
It is news since it is getting closer to knocking down one more "needed" app for home/casual users who want to switch to Linux. There really isn't too many other options under Linux that come close to Quicken. Now if I can download my data from my financial accounts directly to GNUCash I will so switch in a heart beat.
Actually, when I tried to do the "right" thing and call the police directly w/ a "non-emergency" request, I was told to call 911. The reason I called was due to someone parking their car in front of my driveway and blocking it. And just for the record the next time this happened it was during the day and I tried calling the police directly which they told me yet again to just call 911.
I found this http://www.fireflywiki.org/ site when I went looking for the theme song. I was hoping there was a longer version out there somewhere. They have blueprints and other info about the show.
I didn't RTFA, but if this is anything like VPN/ssh access on cable (ie Comcast in my area) then I could care less.
This is the reason I stick w/ DSL wheter it be BellSouth or Covad. Neither one really limit what I can do w/ my line that isn't on the grey side. I can VPN into my network, ssh to my systems, run a web server, etc. Long as I don't cause a blip on their legality radar I am fine.
With my last move I decided to go without a BellSouth land line. I remembered reading about how the cable companies had been blocking VPN/ssh access and I made sure to ask them before I tried to go w/ cable and loose my land line. Accordind to their "live" online support and the real life person I talked to they both said they still continue that practice. This is after checking w/ a few friends I know that said they COULD still ssh in/out of their home systems. Either way, I went w/ what Comcast told me and I gave them the..!.. and went w/ Covad. I get a static IP, no bullshit on filtering VPN/ssh or anything else for that matter.
Long story short, I pay for my bandwidth and not the protocols I use over it.
I agree most people do not have DSL or any other high speed connection at home including my self.
But I do have a network at home so that all my machines at home can have equal access to the internet over my 28.8 connection through a masq Linux box. I may not be able to do everything at one time, but I do not have to make sure I dropped my connection a one device so I can dial out w/ another. This is the main reason I haven't even bothered w/ any of these internet appliances.
And talking about having to set-up all kinds of different types of ethernet connections, there is only static or DHCP/bootp. PPPoE, at least the only way I have seen it down, is only been used when the DSL modem is located inside the PC w/o an ethernet card.
I believe they have...On my Win98 game machine at home, I can extract from zip files w/o having to use any of the 3rd party tools. This functionalty may have been added by Plus!98, I have never installed 98 w/o then installing Plus right after.
I can't stand The Net pretty much due to the stupidity in it. But I think they 'may' have a reason for doing the IP thing...if they were smart. I put that error in the same catagory as almost every movie/tv show phone numbers having the exchange of 555. Keeps people from going home and trying to see what that IP address is/was on the real Net.
Of course they could do better and just use one of the non routable/reserved IP address. But then they would have to know about RFCs and real technology.

I read those same novels... but I really want to say that was Stephen King. For the life of me, I can't remember which short story or novel.

Seeing as how the last time I moved and had cable installed, the installer didn't even know what s-video was...
