In my organization programmers get paid out of the IT budget. Developers work closely with the team that manage the development environment as well as the "IT" folks who support the environment. There are programmers, database admins, sysadmins, platform engineers, network engineers all playing their part to ensure the efficient function of IT in the org. Arguing about what belongs to IT is splitting hairs.
Who cares? At least nobody gets disemboweled for talking against it. The issue isn't saving people from themselves, its about cutting out the illegal activity on the supply side.
Facebook will probably be seen as the "traditional" before you know it. That's when all the kids will bail for something else and the only people left on fb will be oldies like me. Then we will probably follow our kids to wherever the new and cool place to gather is.
How can this work? Great you get free heating in the winter but your hydro bill just spiked powering all these servers. Then there is the cooling you will need in the summertime when it isn't 20 below outside.
Then as parent points out, what about the noise? There will be extra costs with retrofitting any room you have to accommodate this.
Also the cost of the redundant high speed network connections and the lack of physical security. All this to save a couple of hundred bucks for heating half the year. Does not compute.
Yes this is what I want, governments all over the world getting together and manipulating the internet for political reasons. Today Iran, tomorrow any other country deemed undesirable. Ok well that's enough heavy lifting for today. Let's come back tomorrow and agree on some criteria. Should be easy right?
The punishment is harsh but I don't feel sorry for him. Back in the 90's and early 2000's I was a network admin as well and had the "keys to the kingdom". Sometimes my boss was a prick and the job was thankless. But you know what I did? I copied all the passwords to all important systems on paper, put them in a sealed envelope under lock and key, and gave the trusted admin assistant directions on how to get the info should I get hit by a bus so that business could go on. I did it because I was a professional. My bet is that a good chunk of people here would or probably did do something similar. It's called having a little respect, not so much for your employer, but for yourself.
Talk to your manager/director/ceo....whoever. Try and understand what it is they require of their network, what are your real deliverables on this project? What problems are they trying to solve. Find out what your budget really is because unlimited sounds a little vague. Get a project plan together and determine what is you actually need to do. Hire some expertise to help you with the technical aspects of the project. Throw away your books, you need to manage the project and that means hiring the right people to carry out the tasks and reach various project milestones. You will be too busy managing these people and keeping the project on time and on budget to really waste time learning all aspects of network administration. There is no shame in contracting out aspects of the infrastructure (maybe you keep maintaining servers in house and contract out switches, routers, firewalls etc etc). You sir are now a project manager, not a network administrator. Good luck.
"The addition of the ability for users to delete the cookies set by plug-ins and browser add-ons gives them better control of the security and privacy of the content on their machines..."
because its bad to have all those yourporn and redtube flash cookies on your work computer.
I use the "If you wouldn't print it in the paper or shout it on a street corner rule".
Pretend you took out an ad in the paper with your picture. Would you print the following?
- I got wasted with my friends the other night!!!
- I am leaving town tomorrow and won't be back for two weeks. woot!!
- I work for . They suck donkey balls, don't ever buy their useless shit... lol
- This is what my kid looks like! Ah so cute, starts school tomorrow at
- My boss is an asshole, lol, I just posted this on the World's worst bosses site
People people, common sense is all it takes. Use old world approach to using new technology.
This lady I work with calls me to fix her family computer every once in a while. Her kids manage to kill it at least once a year. Last time I picked up the box it would not even boot up. There was a dent on the silver power button (its a Dell Dimension). I'm thinking the kid punched it or hit it with something. Mom had no idea what was wrong, kid had an innocent look. Gave me a chuckle.
Why would you assume this? If one was to only read Slashdot they would think Bill Gates is an evil borg that has caused untold misery on millions and millions of people because of his monopolistic ways. Fact is non techs admire him because he lived/lives the dream. They see him as the ultimate success and what is possible in America. Americans like to live large, and what better example of excess can you find then Bill Gates?
Also the TFA shows 2% or respondents so its not like a bursting dam of love.
Yes but remote wipe would take care of 99% of the dumb criminals. There is very little defence against the smart ones. TFA talks about posting to Facebook and using your device as a credit card which would imply connectivity.

Great responses, thanks I will check Prey. Can anyone speak to the downsides of it? This writer brings up a few issues but it might be old news.

Just looking for the flip side of using this if there are any.

Agree or disagree, he added to the discussion. Unlike your rebuttal.

How old are those hearing aids? Mine take diposable size 10 batteries.
will also be one massive nerdy sausage party.
..and plunge. Subby thinks he's on Fark.

"....In this paper, we argue that servers can be sent to homes and office buildings and used as a primary heat source."
So I don't think people have misread anything.

Ah Whoosh! I now see what you did there!!
DOH!
You wrote your MP about loonies and toonies? I think you just have to like, let it go man.

Of course it does. We are not their customers. We are their product.

Who needs 100% accuracy? Ballpark number will be fine thank you.
The program was made for Ballmer. Who the heck else would even install this craplet.
Agreed. The guy just crushes the game of life.
