As a hiring manager at the time, I remembered that and didn't make it a requirement when evaluating candidates. I was more interested if they'd done a similar type of work and what their approach to solving different types of problems might be.

....that their biggest enemy was Intel.
They were right, as Intel went and built their own NICs into Intel-branded boards and took away a huge add-in market. The problem's even more obvuious in the notebook market where there are Centrino solutions from Intel, and other third-party wireless solutions - but nothing from 3Com.
Then again, who can blame them?
Now even the tethered Ethernet chipsets are too commoditized for Intel to be using their own in the D875PBZ series mobos.
Not that 3Com's been especially savvy or well-behaved about it all. They seem to have a bipolar problem... they would do great "engineering" products that were crap for the market they were intended (managed home office NICs anyone?) or they would completely miss segments they could do well in (such as HP did with their ProCurve switches) which came in at only a modest premium over 3Com's hub products when they were introduced.
As plenty of other posters have mentioned though - you get what you pay for.
Try and run an intensive app like eEye's Retina using built-in (or soft-NICs), and get ready to lose any other connection pending until the app has finished doing its thing.
I'm sure she offed much of the Labs because there was no short-term sales potential for a lot of what they were doing. And as a sales dweeb, that's all she can understand.

It's an all-in-one DSL modem, router & 4-port switch with 802.11b. Decent security, and was as plug and play as it could be with PacBell DSL (meaning it worked out of the box, though the circuit was incorrectly provisioned - twice.)
I wouldn't choose this level of integration for a production office environment - but for my home LAN and the consulting stuff I do - it rocks. It's about $150.

Wouldn't hurt to have a specific "Bill of Rights" for campus computer users as well as the admins, so everyone's on the same page.
I agree regarding B&W - and too many other apps. It's a shame that the cracking community does a better job of making certain products work better than the publishers themselves.
But - having worked at one - when they cut budgets, they don't cut sales, marketing or executive perks. They cut QA and tech Support.
I don't disagree with you that stealing is a crime. I won't even get into crimes that our society chooses to prosecute vs. the huge amount that we don't. Much less how I feel sentences for political corruption should be the same as major drug trafficking.
But software doing such reporting had better be marked blatantly as such if it wants to live on my network.
Isn't this just like an implementation RFID tags in software? Or even moreso, just like the DOJ's newly granted rights to go in and find out who purchased certain titles?

I buy what I use. Period. And once I pay for it - it's no one's business but my own.
And if they're sending data back to themselves - my attorney's.
Why take your top of the line laptop and hamper it with your lowest version of the OS?
On a product this expensive, you think they could hide the extra $40 in COGS.
It's even a differentiating product for Toshiba, in terms of display size in a shipping Wintel notebook.
Can this be an OEM decision, or does Microsoft decide what versions of XP get to be bundled with what classed of OEM hardware?

I remember telling my manager at a dot-com.
It was one of those private conversations that I hoped wouldn't go further - as I needed to explain what was going on and why I acted the way I did. Not necessarily bad - but
From then on, he dismissed me as "damaged goods" (thanks MarkB) and wouldn't allow me to do my job - and I was a network manager. I eventually transferred out of the department which helped a little - but the damage was done. I left the company rather than put up with the crap. HR? Useless on the very best of days.
Point is, be extremely, extremely careful.
As for the meds, Adderall has been a godsend. Ritalin was good, but short-lived, hard to estimate and evil to get refilled. With Adderall, I can take it in the morning before work and it gets me through the day.
Another tip. Consider doing all of this off-insurance. I was on a Kaiser HMO through the dot-com and kept it through Cobra after I left. The company filed bankruptcy (and paid off the CEO, natch) - and I found that you lose Cobra benefits in such a case. Here's why I mention it.... I told Kaiser I wanted to stay with them, but they made me reapply as an Individual.
I was declined. Because I a) Had ADHD b) had sought treatment for it and c) that treatment involved meds. I've saved the letter because it's so dumb.
You're reading right.
Anyone else out there remember when you began taking the meds and all of a sudden you could focus on just what you wanted, instead of _everything_ going on around you?
