I typically state that if they want to use their devices then they must sign a fictional "Disclosure Policy" which the Virus Scanners on the network must scan their device and reports a list of every file that they have on the device to me for inspection.
Most users say, "Ah, no that's fine, I won't use it" simply because they have porn or something similar they don't want me to know about!
I usually tell them (if I think they're going to plug it in anyway) that the Scanners automatically detect the presence of new devices and scan it anyway.
Sort of like a Police Radar Detector, their existence is enough to scare people into doing the right thing!
is to provide a portal where all staff information is handy for them and show on the home page a day count whereby the servers and infrastructure has been online, working perfectly for XX days.
For me this has shown to provide a two way feedback for non-technical staff as they have no idea what I do to make things work.
Obviously they only "deal" with me when they need something, this way allows me to "deal" with everyone and say, "Hey, I've been doing my job!" without the gory details.
Plus managers always love to see numbers!
A one size fits all approach is usually a business decision to save costs rather than apply the most appropriate tool for the job. Your management is going to find that they will be able to address each project but they'll have the same type of solution bent to fit the problem. Good luck with that!
If you just want to serialize your object data from an array of objects you can simply use Perl to tie to a DBM file. It will allow you to load your object data when needed, process it, add to it, modify the objects then serialize again back to the DBM file. It's portable, small, fast and very well suited to simple solutions.
Sorry to sound pessimistic but doesn't look too good for the future of MySQL. MySQL has always been an honest, what's best for the people kind of company in my eyes, and regardless of what really is happening, the end result of this is that my idea of MySQL has changed. This is something that other people will also feel so in any light, regardless of the outcome, doubt will now be part of people's minds when it comes to MySQL. Sorry guys!
If there are issues, probably the only true way of them waking up to themselves is for the violation to take place in a controlled manner. Show them where the problems are by exploiting the problem so that they may fix it.
I think you're in for a hard sell but there's no teacher like experience, especially in my customer's business lives.
In the end, if it's a controlled violation, my customers are always greatful!
Every language has something to offer, something that it does better than others. The point is, choose your language based upon what the problem you are faced rather than the "popularity" of that language. Besides, Perl will never die, it will only sit and collect the programmers who jump from every other language q:)
they are comparing a cheap set of hardware against the standard hardware that Windows runs on. Just try to install Windows on the Wal-mart pc and then do the comparisons!
So is the idea of research completely worthless?

If there is no return then Business will say yes. But the journey to find the answers gives us the ability to add to the fabric of humanity as well as getting to the answer so I guess my answer is, research without end is worth it if it causes others to join the search and contribute to the community, regardless if the goal is reachable or not!
everything else we know of could potentially have flaws, enough to cause the fundamentals we rely upon to also potentially be wrong.
I was only a matter of time (forgive the pun) until we found a way to do it. Light is potentially the lowest form of energy that we can detect. What if there is some form of energy higher that we can't detect which has properties beyond that of light.
Who knows what additional properties the universe has that we could one day tap into!
The problem is, people feel that just because it happened through MySpace, that they should somehow by liable for it. To be technical, it actually occurred because of the people responsible for establishing and maintaining the networks over which the two people connected, and therefore the people who invented Ethernet were also responsible for allowing this to be possible.
Terms and Conditions exist for a reason, so do Fair Use policies.
I'm sick of idiots thinking that the world is to blame for their stupidity!
I'm trying to build a complete set of tracking tools and reports for free for anyone to use.
By doing this, I also hope to have a better way to output the stats of Browsers and OS'es.
It's not perfect but it's growing!

I'm going to continue to improve it, but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.
We could distribute keyboards and mice that took biometric data from the user and checks against it's locally stored records to determine the user and therefore their age.
Regardless of ports they want to "broadcast" porn on, there will always be porn on port 80.
To make something like this work you'd have to shut down all traffic on the net, then enable a single port to act as a Subscriber Channel which lists all the content on the web and then let the use subscribe to the content they want to view.
It's incredible how little we're appreciated!
I esp. liked the comment about we're only noticed when things go wrong and no matter how good a job you do, it's invisible!
How do they get away with Copyright infringment and we don't huh? Google says that if some of the works still fall within Copyright boundaries they're still going to do it regardless.
That's a direct contradiction of the law. We do it and get burned, so should they!

Nice resource...I'm adding this one to my list!
What a sweet posting that would be. "OK people, we need another Terawatt of power, let's kick in the batteries!"

get all the bitz? You know how it goes, there's always a piece of rock hard crap in the bottom somewhere!
Have you ever done any work through a place like this?
What's the payment schedule like?
there will ever be a single "decent" repository of any programming job available that enables anyone to take advantage of it!
I know (myself included) that I could almost leave my full-time role and focus on this type of development for a while to come!
Exactly!
We could distribute keyboards and mice that took biometric data from the user and checks against it's locally stored records to determine the user and therefore their age.
IMHO, if they don't like it, don't go online!

Yeah right!
will start to realise it's the employees that make their company work, not just the sales people!
