He didn't write the configs to flash memory. So that if the router had to be powered off, he would need to create the config from memory. This was his fucked up way of trying to make himself indispensible.
I have never liked the idea of putting funny names on severs. Since early on in my career, I have used a naming standard, which seems pretty popular.
It uses a 3 character City code, followed by a 2 character function code, followed by customizable character that can indicate business unit or site within a location or just about anything you wish to define. The final 3 characters are a sequence number which is unique to the City code.
So a general Unix sever in DataCenter1 in London might be LONUX1001
LON - city code
UX - function code for general unix server
1 - Data Center 1
001 - server 1 in London
This system works really well. It can be changed around a bit as needed. The most important thing is that you document your standard and follow it.
If they remove IE, then what the heck are your average Windows users going to use to download Firefox?
The users will be stuck doing some several hundred MB MS Magic update/download that installs IE for them anyway just so that they can go download Firefox.
NAS devices are cheaper and faster now. Lower end removable drives are not much more expensive than tapes, and they are a lot faster and easier to manage.
nightly dumps of the database and rsync of the data directories to servers in different locations should be adequate. If you have lots of data, I don't see how tapes are really going to do the daily backup jobs.
backing up nightly to a large mirrored NAS and a periodic copy to a removable device seems like a good way to go these days. I haven't used tapes for years.
It is finally working again. but for a while, I thought it had died permanently. I took the battery out a few times and turned it back on, it would freeze. I gave up for a while and later I was able to turn it on and it worked with no problem. This was about 22:30 Central European time.
I am kind of surprised that Asterisk didn't make the list. There is a complete open source revolution happening in the field of Telephony. Asterisk 1.6 has been released, and Asterisk 1.4 is very solid and not only can do everything that the conventional higher end PBXs do, but can do a lot more.
Asterisk has also inspired some other open source PBX projects. Asterisk doesn't necesarrily need to be only a IP pbx either, but in the VOIP field there are loads of exciting products that are revolutionizing telephony.
Surely one of those products is at least worth a mention instead of putting linux in the list 4 times and open office in there twice.
They are in use in all the airports here. Also many large shopping malls have security people on segways. Actually, security people are on segways at all sorts of major events.
Paris has tours on segways. Also, I have seen them available in a couple of Spanish cities.
They are hardly dead. It seems like they are in use for more things every day.

Frankly they're not a good lawyer if they didn't think of the simplest legal thing first.
I thought the first rule of being a lawyer was to select the path that generates the most billable hours.

If you put linux on the Desktops, this question will be less important.

And a can of Red Bull.
They should keep the statements online forever. And they should allow access to them forever.
If they can't figure out how to do that, maybe the should ask for someone at google to help them.

Mine did also. it is a Sony Ericsson w910i.

When they say "everywhere else", that means Mexico.
Sun requires commits be dual-licensed so that Sun can use the code in the commercial version, Star Office. That's how they control
Digium does the same thing with Asterisk, and that project seems to be advancing nicely.
What happens when the first high schooler trades his laptop for crack and then says it was stolen? are they going to be replacing those laptops?
What is HL2?
No. You shouldn't.
I think that pagers have been obsolete for more than 10 years now.
Asterisk and OpenSER are leading industry specific apps.
But yes, we could use some really good Business Process Management software also. Although that isn't necesarily industry specific.
I haven't seen a supermarket offering paper bags in 10 years.
who the hell uses their ISPs email address anyway?
Does this guy not have a gmail address?

Due to the fact that the US dollar has devalued so, the US is now the top tourist destination in the world. It is so much cheaper than anywhere else.
It seems like everyone is going to the US this year for vacation.
What could it do against such a new force it new nothing about?
Don't you mean "gnu"?
I have a friend with a pet monkey who seems to be able to install Ubuntu.
you rock!
I am looking though it now. So far, it looks really good.
Thank you
