I don't want to point out an observation but I will keep note of each type of manufactures aircraft that do go down due to some sort of mechanical, FOD or act of God. At the end of the year let's tally the losses. Sounds morbid I know but the FFA keeps track of it.
I have just gone through a PCI audit to get my company certified PCI level 1.
It may be the auditors job to throughly go through your systems but it also up to you to honestly provide those answers to his questions. He will of course verify your answers.
Then it is the security Admins job to ensure that the network or data is secure.
Just because you have passed an audit or got the latest doo hicky to monitor your network, it is up to you to review the logs and to ensure on a dailiy basis that YOU were doing your job.
I think this is a case of someone trying to save thier job.
No the problem is you can get fired. You better have something lined up and if you have to beg to get a raise then they don't value your expertise or you. EVERYONE is replaceable.
People love wasting your time. I walked out of 2 interviews and 1 job after they didn't promise me what I wanted. I took vacation from my other job to see if I liked it. 1 week was good enough to tell me they were full of shit.
If you are placed in a position where the upper management doesn't support you then you need to find anothr company.
The problem is they think IT is fast food. You got to pay to play and if they aren't willing to buy legit software then you need to find another company to work for.
I worked at a former company for 1 week because the higher ups didn't want to spend money on servers or software and expected things to be running.
When I asked the JR Network Admin if there was a budget for IT he said "man don;t aks these guys for money to buy anything".
I turned in my resignation a week later.
The company I now work for has no problems spending money if it's needed, otherwise I use open source. We are about 50/50 on servers.
How refreshing it is to work in a company where every piece of software is legit and machines are locked down to prevent the installation of software.
Why live in the hills of Cailifornia when you know there is a 50% chance you may loose your house to wild fires?
Why live in the desert where you can't grow any food?
Why live in a state where the winters are harsh?
I guess there are numerous reasons, plenty of good reasons and real reasons.
How about putting yourself and your familiy in the position to win?
I left the cold North 20 years ago and not one regret. No Wild fires to worry about. No extreme teperature changes to worry about.
Plenty of work because I have a resession proof job.
Now I just got to work on getting off the grid and start using propane and proane acessories. The government and those mis managed utility companies are not there to serve you. Customer service is just a slogan.
The only formal training I have received is 13 years in the Marine Corps. I was an aviation mechanic. I dabbled in computers as a hobby (Commodore64 and the Amiga) when I got out of the service I was fortunate enough to get a job just running a computer elearning center. As the company grew and also imploded I found myself being the Network admin for the company. When I grew tired of(The company was not investing in new technology)I searched for 2 years to find something that would advance my career. There are numerous companies out there who love to waste your time with false promises. Make sure you don't leave your current position and take a vacation that coincides with your start date. That way you have something to fall back on and you don't make the mistake of finding yourself in a company that has the same mentality of the one you are trying to leave. I got lucky after 2 previous employers who I told I don't think this position is going to work for me. I landed a job where the growth potential was extraordinary. I have learned so much in the 2 years in this new company. Linux projects, new servers, new desktops, Full support contracts and windows projects. I love it here. I have no certs. But I did attend a class for Server 2000, Cisco CCNA and CCDP. I never took the tests but the classes taught me a lot of basics about networking and Active directory. CCNA was important so that I became familiar with the command line within our Cisco Routers and our Pix Firewalls. Sure I paid a lot for taking those classes but the home study method doesn't work for me.
Why was this suprising? Remember the days when cable didn't have any commercials? Now it's just like regular public TV except there is more "Adult" content.
This model was doomed for failure the moment it left earth.
What trade barriers? Everything is made in China now. Go to Walldo Mart and see how much stuff is made in the U.S.
So for the short sighted goal of increased revenue (Greed) we export all mass manufacturing to China.
We are headed for a fall so hard we may never recover. The U.S. can't even make cars anymore, to hear those executives clamering about U.S cars are on par with Japanese cars is so far off the mark they have been breathing to much of thier VOC's. If that was the case why is it they still have to make that statement 40 years later?
I remember when the Japnaese were buying F-16 fighter jets from the U.S. and all they wanted was the airframes. The japanese exact words were our Avionics and radars are better than the American electronics, what they really meant was "we are afraid that the Americans will plant logic bombs in the electronics and all they have to do is flip a switch.
When the war with China starts they already know how to shut down every single electronic component. Cell phones, Routers(netgear,linksys), loss of basic communication will have people running in fear all over the place. Ham radio operators will be in vouge again.
Ever see people have a fit when thier ISP goes down? Lord help us if people loose thier cell phones, crackberrys and MMO online games.
The U.S. knows how to manufacture 2 products so well that countries all over the world will die for.
When I was younger I remember watching the Olympics on every major channel and you tunned into the sport that seemed interesting to you to watch. I remember getting so mad that I could not watch my regularly scheduled programs due to the Olympics. They broacasted day and night non stop. How I wish those days were back, now I am forced to watch what the dirt bag network (singular we bought the exclusive broadcast rights) deem to be highly watched programs.
The Olympics are so much more clouded with politics and so much corporate manipulation that it ozzes of pure shit.
They cry because nobody is watching them, I wonder why.
I want to see the sports that I dont normaly see televised. I want to see other countries althetic best. I want to hear other countries nathional anthems being played. I want to travel the world from the comfort of my living room.
This is not a kids movie, if you are going to bring your kids be prepared for some of disturbing scenes.
I left the theater totally blown away. The movie was way more than I thought it would be. I don't say that for many movies. James Bond in Casino Royal was another one where I was blown away by the adult dialog and edginess of the film.
All the hype around Heath Ledgers performance is absolutely mesmerizing. The sad part is who will play the Joker now? The person who fills in for that part will have to live up to that standard.
Maybe Hollywood is starting to understand that they need to be making adult movies and let the family movies be. I don't mean gratuitous violence but movies that are not so predictable in their direction.
When I lived in North Carolina they were collecting money to build this huge industrial business park system that never came to fruition, how about giving back all that money they took in and never used it for what it was intended for!?
Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft and thier upsales programs confuses the crap out of me. They do this shit by design.
I want 100 desktop distros. Period!
Not Desktop Plus more crap
Not desktop + a movie camera and a box of coco puffs
Not desktop and ultimate confusion
Does it run on 1GB of memory?
There is no profit in optimization.
Clouds and Databases Oh My! First Post?

I remember this being released on the Amiga computer. The second best game of this era was Zack McCrackin and the teenage mind benders!
Long live the Amiga!
The Amiga was essentially a Bios based OS on a Chip or more directly an EEPROM, with a small footprint OS of maybe 3MB on the Hard Drive.

Talk about an excitng job! I want to go also! I will carry the tool box :)
Seriously. :)
"Or better yet. Smile. they had no intention of using the money you would have saved to enhance your salary."
That is so freaking true! How much money I have saved the company I should be making 120k per year!
How old will you be if you don't go back to school?

Ok ever since WOW was released there were skelies and zombies. Why this makes such a huge difference 4 years later is beyond me.
So are they going to replace the Skelies and Zombies images with Tanks and armoured personal carriers?
Change Naxx to Tianamen square? At the end if you fail you get shipped out to a prison nobody has ever heard of in the Gobi desert?
They want a new Air Plane?
Go to WallMart and order one made in China.
The United states is only good at manufacturing 2 things.
Weapons and Slot Machines.
Of course this would be moderated down to dumb.

I wonder how long will the Star Trek MMO will last. Hop they learn some lesssons from this failed MMO.
Why? Why do companies waste thier time and talent trying to rehash old games especially since movie based games suck ass?
People who buy into this stuff need to buy a piece of the Brooklyn bridge.
I for one actually enjoyed those ads! To see those two together in a commercial was uncanny.
Agreed! Together uncanny.
Overall what a waste of money.
FUD!
