With whole things moving to the universe of virtualization and heavy encryption technology the location and security of the physical machines become non-issues. there is no need for owning the hardware in the future unless you had specific needs and if you are are the type requires special needs then you can not risk not to have in-house data-center where you probably have $$$ and the thing is high profile. Um...google & apple don't they have their own data-center? Enough said...and move along, as there is nothing to be discussed.
If you approach the concert ticket with same approach as how airlines do the business...
1. id should be enough to gain the entrance, because some people don't have access to the creditcard. 2. cannot attend for some reason, give refund according to the time table like university's tuition or refund in the form of ticketmaster credit or band credit. 3. transfer can be possible with transfer fee high enough which should make scalping unattractive and limit the transfer to 3 transfer per year and one person can only buy one ticket to the venue and account is tied to the ID rather than creditcard number.
Ha....I've got you! Your name is 08-00-27-00-D0-B8! We already have all your e-mail on our harddrive! Your e-mail address is 08-00-27-00-D0-B8@gmail.com.

some hardware's firmware(BIOS) require floppy disk option for updating firmware = 5% Microsoft Windows XP and Servers always requiring the use of floppy for loading storage device driver during an installation setup = 95%
Should Windows become obsolete in 3 years the need for floppy drive will completely die out.
I serious thought that your company was planning to over haul a new meaning to work hours by giving you 80 hrs. a week work. I think my work is getting pretty close there without any announcement. =(
This is stupid, when you can the original iTune for free, why would anyone want to use clone which happen to look like iTune. Try selling knock off against original for same price. The thing is, there is no lower prices than free can exist. Good luck and please stop wasting time developing what has already been done.
Keep paying little $$$ for butt-load of work often staying up late locked up in hot noisy rooms. Not to mention why networking is alternatively known as networking plumbing(because at the end of day you look & smell like a plumber).
Business type guys have most power and $$$ in corporate environment.
Plus, business majors are mostly party goers during college years(not much to study really...) compared to any engineering type majors.
Kids are smarter than you think they are and they already knows where all the $$$, glory, power and pretty woman will go to.
IT won't go away as long as we use what we know as computer.
I believe computing platform is changing rapidly and software layer has surpassed most IT admin's expectation of what it is originally designed to do.
With virtualization growing, there will come a day where entire software side of the computing is encrypted and changes made in the system & network can happen without physical changes. This kind of IT landscape will permit hardware maintenance given away to 3rd parties with a complete confidence of system and data security.
You can imagine dataroom filled with heap of systems specially designed to support virtualization nodes. Under this specific hardware model, entire system is composed with many identical hardware and once system has integrated, then there won't be any changes made to the system. As hardware failure occurs, virtualization can automatically migrate onto healthy system while hardware is being replaced. Engineers who replace hardware do not require great deal of knowledge, because each unit is duplicated from single source and only required to have uniq ID/password to join the virtulization node.
For example, you can think of having hundreds of dvd-players connected and turned on which can be replaced upon automated failure notice by Engineer who knows how to find failed dvd-player and being able to exchange the unit. In the future, it will take 1 genius to design the virtualization unit and hanful of A+ certified engineer to replace the failed unit.
I believe, this will happen so people can better spend their time rather than doing mundane IT works. I believe automation will put people out of work, but at the end, it will free people from hard meaningless works, so people can pursue what they really believe.
Do we still have COBOL engineers around these days? Last person that I knew dabbled in FORTRAN/COBOL was from Russia where her graduate level of education was done around assembly/FORTRAN/COBOL.:)
I personally think microsoft windows server is a great platform to build websites. There are range of tools and cookie cutter stuffs already written for in asp/net allows very powerful function to exist especially inter-operate ability with different MS product like sharing outlook generated schedule via exchange server out to web portal.
However, putting medical records requires requires middleware between ms platform and medical softwares. I see this use of middleware becomes security problem here. Windows do not work very well when 3rd party glue is applied to the what seems to be rigid architecture it shares between products of ms. This inability to have full control over the protocol, situation usually involving previously unthoughtful of...should I say out of boundary for what original purpose of the software calls for...ends up becoming the problem.
If you feel strongly against what Chinese government stands for, then you should not buy anything coming from China. It does not make sense that you are searching for ways to pay as little as possible to China. Actually, you should not pay any, otherwise you are being a hypocrite. T20 is P3 laptop and you can find plenty of used ThinkPads on an eBay. I think P4M 2.0GHz line of ThinkPad is priced at $350 on an eBay and every penny would stay in the US.
I am worried about America's future. What is happening to our government and education system? Are smart people being banned from taking a proactive role in leadership position in many of these organizations which has countless history of making bad decisions?
Has politics at organizations has gotten too ugly and smart folks are getting out or gives up on becoming a leader out of fear for having to wade through nightmarish politics?
I am just worried to see more not so smart, but more self seeking, master of deception, and ultimate manipulative people with financial power and political powers gaining ever so important leadership position across vast organizations.
Having a good mentor and leader makes world of difference like day and night. If we don't change and elect more leaders with smart, wisdom, and sacrificial mind-set oriented leaders, then our future experience will be very negative and hard one.
How can you manage something that changes as you sleep at night. Linux administration is something like being married to the servers. Even worse, your server never have downtime...at least human babies take nap here and there. Try managing human babies before try managing linux servers.
I think SK has human rights issue to solve before darting to draft robot rights. If drafting of robot rights are left in the hands of SK, quality of life for robot are destined to be doomed.
Typical office workers in Korea work schedule is something like this
M-F: 7AM-7PM 2 days & 7AM-9PM 3 days Sat: 8AM-2PM Sun: day-off.
Someone that I knew had this work schedule M-F: 7AM-9PM Sat: 9AM-6PM Sun: day-off.
You have to remember study and statistics are almost always fudged and does not reflect correct average working hours. The study shows 1777 US average annual working hours. Who here works 6.5 hours everyday for 5 days working week for a year. That is without vacation time counted in. With 20 days vacation(you must be big wigs of company in order to get this kind of vacation package)show 7.1 hours work hours per day. Hem...I know I am not one of them.
I am wondering what real SK work hours are like. Remember, over working employee is stated illegal in every country, but employers are known to do it all the time. Companies cannot tell you that you cannot go home but they can assign you a huge load of work and sit and watch how employees will react. Most of time, employees suck it up and stay signed on especially job market is doing bad. SK job market are known to be one of the worst in the world.
I wish SK would come to acknowledge poor human rights and working hours situation in Korea and put time and energy fixing the issue rather than wasting it all away on things that look shiny and nice(woo....ahhh...stuffs) but is absolutely on the bottom of the priority. The robot rights drafting should not even on their list!

It is very hard because only fraction of people who can obtain H-1B vs. many people applying for it.
So, natural selection process filters one with skills from who do not.
This is a good sign that your employer does not really understand his own business's needs.
Do yourself a favor. Get a new job.
