Bandwidth is an artificial commodity. Yeah you might only be able to push X amount of TB a minute but it's hardly limited nor does it cost more than a few bucks to push those electrons through the wire. The idea of paying for bandwidth is asinine. Access is what you're buying and should only be that.
That sounds more political and civil rights orientated than anything. The censorship perpetrated by corporations on behalf of the government, while technically illegal is blatantly immoral.
we (IT consultants for small-mid sized companies) aren't all like that. In fact doing that in a former life it was my policy to make sure they had the proper access if they chose to utilize it or hire another consultant. After all, it is their equipment - however I did leave them a caveat in the "red binder" I left with them that said "if you don't know what you're doing and insist on doing it yourself without a knowledgable person to do it for you, please research it completely" with a line that said something to the effect of 'fixing a catastrophe that could have been solved with a few keystrokes might cost significantly more'.
That said, I left them the option of a VPN they could initiate for remote assistance should they require it (usually moments notice for emergencies was welcomed) sooner than the time it would take for me to travel to them. Only once did certain companies opt to not call me (or someone else) and end up with snafu. After the first time they learned their lesson and either called for help or ask for training on how to fix things themselves. I was a fan of teaching them some of the more routine stuff that didn't require extensive education which was mostly db or more complicated administration stuff.
with the new 10.7 Lion being released soon you can run a network based "time machine" on the Lion server (if memory serves). That alone will be a great asset to your company if you can run Lion on the desktops as well.
It's not surprising most universities don't support IPv6. All of the ones I've been on used the 10/8 and that was MORE than sufficient for connecting all the students, faculty, "businesses" (cash registers, scanners for inventory etc) and servers complete with proper VLANs etc. It's more than sufficient for their needs at the moment. There's no compelling reason to switch for most people.
I've lived in NYC for 10 years, drive often and drive within the laws.
Your comment is a joke. There are bad eggs everywhere; sometimes they're the majority. _THEY_ are the ones making it unsafe.
we have very few people who know about the "adjustment" to bring the calendars into harmony and the other adjustments made so things could make sense for those who didn't want to learn them.
That right there is why I stopped listening to you. If you follow what the grandparent poster said about giving yourself and regular users LIMITED ACCOUNTS and leave the administration separate you won't run into so many of these problems. (as if they're very prevalent anyways).
I just love how everything "for the children" or anything relating to child pornography (which is absolutely despicable) can strip our rights away without notice. It's absolute bullshit.
If IT were properly staffed and funded at hospitals I would bet it wouldn't be a problem but like all non IT sector jobs it's probably just a guy in this 40's with an underling or two running errands all day. If each department had an IT fund budgeted in their department to pay the IT dept for it's "work" you can bet your ass they'd think twice about screeching for things as they're likely to do.
get an iPhone or other iOS device. They have the BEST sight impaired accessibility for a mobile device ever. Their accessibilities options on OS X are good as well. I know at least a dozen people locally through a services for the blind and sight impaired provider who preach this.

Really? In that case, it makes me wonder how I've been able to run software that's been installed to my home dir without problems.
and how many android apps were created on an android?
8 mile sucked
ignore it. my company did and they couldn't do shit.

That's like arguing why heise.de doesn't cater more to people outside of Germany. Get a grip.
I'd +1 Funny you if I would ever get mod points (seriously, none in the last two-three years now?!)
Bitter much?

Telescope must have been upside-down.

Thank you for clarifying my statement. =)

Granted, I did this as an admin user...

so following that line of thought there's no reason to retain anyone's info. gotcha ;)

It's pretty sad and pathetic that there are bandwidth limitations.

stop reading in the dark. it's seriously not good for your eyes and reading the site in full screen is the best way to go for any site, imo.
