Wah! A product that isn't meant only for us isn't going to waste their time catering exclusively to our infantile wants!
Wah! It's gotta look just like all the other crap on our system or we'll whine!
Wah! They suck because they won't give us exactly what we want!
You know what? If you don't like it USE ANOTHER FUCKING PRODUCT YOU FUCKING CRYBABIES!
Or get off your asses and devote some of your copious free time and dubious talent to the actual development efforts instead of being leeching little fucktards.
Yes. I know this will get modded as a troll. I don't particularly care. It needs to be said.
It fits my schedule (around school and my day job).
It pays okay.
Only problems.
1: The truck stop is owned by Jesus freaks (very two-faced Jesus freaks), so we have to listen to the Christian/Country rock all the time. GACK!
2: Smelly fscking truck drivers (some of these guys make a vocation of stinking as badly as possible). Class three atrocities under the Geneva Conventions.
3: Stupid truck drivers. The guys who, no matter WHAT idiocy falls out of their mouth (and an awful lot does, not just chew-laden spittle, teeth, and leavings from their last meal), they continue on, regardless of evidence to the contrary.
(90% of the guys who come through the truck stop are neither 2 nor 3. However, the remaining 10% are one or both.
They keep me on because I'm dependable, and I'm the only one who can actually use the SCO Unix back-end to the POS registers (without having to call the vendor).
If I could find a real IT job to sideline at, I'd drop this one in a heartbeat.
You'd think these countries would have figured this out by now and prohibited access to inns to anyone who can do more than pass really nasty, eye watering fart.
But OH NO!
And look at the damage these violent drunkards have wreaked!
Dragon molestation on the rise. Millions of trolls put to the torch. And more orcs, kobolds, and goblins killed (wholesale slaughter) than there are stars in the sky!

Scottsdale residents are actively broadcasting wild monkeysex. But want to arrest and sue anyone who actually looks at it.
If you open up your home and invite people in (and that's essentially what an unsecured wireless network IS), don't be surprised if they see something you wouldn't want them to see.
Now if they crack your WEP key, etc. THEN you have a right to bitch.
First, with such a wide variety of components, actually classifying an individual system quickly becomes an exercise in frustration.
Second, with the speed at which the platform advances, how do you keep a coherent performance benchmark to classify these computers? Or are we supposed to simply redefine our computers on a monthly basis?
I bought a Level 8 computer three months ago. Now it's only a Level 4. WTF!
Not to mention how do you actually ADVERTISE something like this? In big stores (Like Worst Buy, Sureit's Shitty, Fried, Gump USA, etc), product can sit on shelves for months on end before moving. ESPECIALLY the high-dollar items. Is that Level 5 computer a Level 5 computer NOW? Or was it a Level 5 computer six months ago, and now something that would be classified as a Level 3 computer?
If you want easy classifications, and the total lock-in on your platform this requires, go ahead and buy yourself a Crapple Muck system.
Please, stop trying to castrate a thriving, diverse platform.
It's not about what's required to get the job done.
It's about having a uniform base platform that will give maximal product life (faster processor) while cutting out true non-essentials (like a relatively expensive DVD burner or an oversized HD in a networked environment).
Actual workstations/desktop user systems outnumber actual SERVERS by HOW much?
Viruses are all about maximum TOTAL penetration into a user-base.
As such, while servers (with lots of processing power and oodles of bandwidth) are a nice find, it's more preferrable to infect a few hundred less powerful desktop systems, especially if a lot of them are on cable modems or DSL.
While Apache may be the most prevalent WEB SERVER on the planet, it's residing on one of the smallesr OS installations in the market. And *nix server installs are outnumbered by Windows desktop installs by, what? A factor of fifteen or greater?
We're a mainly Apple institution. So 3/4 of our machines are Mac. We're very good at supporting Mac. So much so that we can get by with only 6 people total for 3800 machines.
However, we DO have a small contingent of Windows PCs as well. Which we're not so good at supporting. As such, we need to hire more people to deal with this unfamiliar environment. Also, since we're mainly a Mac house, we haven't really got a clue as to how to hire the proper personnel to take care of our Windows stuff properly. Thus, we hire more people than we actually need on the off chance that at least ONE of them will know how to fix a problem.
Also, your cost analysis is broken.
As stated, you're primarily a Mac house. You have fewer PCs than Macs by roughly a factor of three to one. Simply because your employer hired that many people to support the Windows side does not mean you NEED that many people. Nor does it mean that the existing staff couldn't support more than the current amount of systems.
Translation, you're ignoring your company's buying and usage habits simply to make your point because the numbers seem to say what you want them to.
When the hell are these stupid children (however old they may be) going to realize that pulling juvenile stunts like this is NOT the way to make your point. Nor is it a way to "win".
It merely points out (with glowing, thousand meter-tall indicators) exactly how stupid, petty, and childish you are. As well as aggravating your candidate when he realizes what a group of morons he has in his constituency and how badly they reflect on him and his political views and backers.
You want to effect REAL change?
SOCIAL ENGINEERING!
Script-kiddie bullshit like this only inhibits it.
Kick the ever-living SHIT outta them until their chances of ever coming out of the coma are only exceeded by their chances of living until the end of time.

So when do Disney hijack THIS and claim it as their own original work?
Will it be able to kick opposing players in the nuts?
Recommedation: Start looking at one of those 57,000 BTU Weber units.
Should be big enough to drop in a Quad Opteron unit.
Of course! They're using a beta card and beta drivers!

But only after MS has a really bad quarter.
Silly geekboy! There is no such thing as "overkill".
There's only "kill" with greater and greater measures of assurance.

No. This is NOT leaving your door unlocked.
Because you don't go around screaming "MY DOOR IS UNLOCKED! COME ON IN!", which is what broadcasting an unsecured wireless signal is.
You're pushing signal out into public airspace. So don't be offended when someone actually makes use of your "exhibitionism".
Still better.

Yeah, good thing Gateway was doing this with their Silhouette line years ago. Didn't have to sit around and wait for Apple to "innovate" it.

Hmm.
Let me see if I can paraphrase this for you.
