My opinion is that....given the current economic situation, this is a good idea for the short term. There are people that need jobs badly, and one way to get more people jobs is to cut the expenses on the employers, so that they hire more work.... They'll pretty much hafta. Imagine there are the few employees that are totally hard-core, working 80 hours weeks. Sure they deserve every penny they make with the overtime (for workin' hard and all), but it would be better for everyone (except for the hard-workin employee, of course, who is getting screwed out of his timex1.5), if the employer could hire more poeple.
But Again, I say this is decent short-term idea, that I fear will last (much the same as wel-fare...sure it was very necessary after WWII, but not so much today).
I'd hafta say that because of the long-term effects, I definatly disagree with this measure
Though, I am also one of those hard-workin fools working 70-80 hour weeks.
But the RAR compression is vastly superior to Zip. At work I need to compress 500+ MB files and store them in an archive. In Winzip, it might compress that to 50 Megs or so. In RAR it's down to 30 Megs. That extres 20 Megs makes a huge difference when you're uploading at 128 kilobits/sec.
I understand for mass distribution of a file, you'll wanna use a more standard compression, like zip, gzip, or bzip, but for just hard compression within an organization, I'm all about RAR. And if something compresses even tighter than RAR, I'll switch to that (fractal generation algorithms aside, unless someone can make a REALLY fast one)
RAR handles all of the formats winzip does and compresses things much more tightly.
The day after thanksgiving, A buncha friends and I stood in line for 3 hours at 4AM to each get an 80 Gigger for $50 (and they threw in an extra 256MB stick).
I Totally Agree. Where I work, we had a client hire an MCSE Certified guy to admin their network, because they didn't want to pay for our services anymore.
Well he totally screwed with thier network, simply because it was obvious he didn't know what he was doing.
First, he disabled the DHCP Service on thier Router.
Then he Installed DHCP on thier Server
Then (and here's the good part) he set up Every computer on thier network with Static IP Addresses.
Just goes to show you what Certification means... or maybe that's because it's Microsoft Certification. I dunno.

You know, certification really means nothing

Actually... that instance would be okay because the two companies are completely unrelated.
AOL is just an acromyn, but only when used in the right context references American Online.
Yup. I did mean to reply to the parent.
So if Lil Billy steals your car, is he the new owner of your car?
What if he busts into your house and steals your TV?
