$ spent/user all inclusive, and user satisfaction surveys.
You should be low on the $/user and a little above middling on satisfaction. If you're too high on satisfaction, you're likely overstaffed and could get the first number down.
That's how the business is going to look at it unless your'e generating revenue. Then it's all about ROI.
Superheroes were nothing new when they were introduced. They were the pop-ification of polytheistic religions. Hercules and Superman, Batman and Achilles - all the same thing.
They're certainly not uniquely American. American superheroes dominate
OK, so you turn off your PC's at night. And when do you run updates? Try running updates and patches during the day in most environments and you'll get lynched by the users.
Yes, there is Wake-on-LAN, but the technology is still spotty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and Im sure you're using some juice keeping the card alive to respond to the WoL request.
So you'd rather just tell the big state city voters to shut up and keep paying for the small state rural voters to get outsized representation? Nonsense.
This is a management issue. Explain to management the legal problems of running pirated software, the costs of getting right, and the potential for someone who was disgruntled to turn in the company for reward money.
If they still decide not to act, then enjoy the reward money.
Just document everything so it's clear you tried to get eh company right with their licenses.
This is an astounding misunderstanding of markets. There is no such thing as a free market and there cannot be because the terms of contracts are framed by the state of contract law and of enforcement mechanisms.
By the way, in the U.S. we've already given the telcos astounding tax breaks for years and years and years that were intended to subsidize the deployment of fiber to the desktop.
I'm exactly the kind of consumer marketers want to get. I buy things only when they make sense and I usually influence friends and family to buy the same thing because I make smart choices. I'm about 15% away from buying an e-book reader, and if the Kindle looked like the Sony reader or if the Sony had the instant download and instant buy feature of the Kindle, I'd have bought one.
My wife is a doctor and she lugs huge books around with her - up to 20-25 pounds at a time. If she could put those books into an e-book reader, she'd do it in a minute.
But the ones cited here are whiny. I use Vista at home, XP at work, Linux on my servers and Vista isn't horrible. Windows Update takes too long, disk performance is mediocre, and you need a horse and a half to get fast gaming out of it.
Facebook f'd up it's IP6 record? That's a reason to disdain Facebook, not Vista.

Not to mention Wolfenstein.
Of course there was also the Cole and the embassies in Africa. And the first WTC attack. No reason to overreact either direction.

You thought Indian wages were low...
Yeah, but just try to bring the groceries home on the bike. Completely impractical. Maybe if you added a trailer of some sort...

Which is why everyone everywhere is running Ubuntu right now.
Wait.
With all that sweet, sweet money they're making sending out free CD's? What is their business model anyhoo?
Did you even read my post, idiot? WoL is spotty.

It's a British rag, so the gallons they refer to in the article are imperial gallons. In US terms, it gets 50mpg, not 60.

Just cut the cable and the reroute takes the traffic through the US and through the NSA monitoring operation.
Lake Michigan is entirely within the bounds of the US. Chicago is nowhere near the border.

Kirk Cameron! peels! Hand shaped! Arrrgh!

You do if you use laptops that people want to take with them, which is the case with most service firms.
When do you patch? Our users don't want long startups or shutdowns and won't stand for mid-day patches. At night is it.
