I take it you don't know many college graduates (or any MBAs). I know plenty of people who have a partial college education that are far smarter than some people I work with who have 4 year degrees.

The King family has done all it can for as long as it can to squeeze every penny out of MLK that they could. Ask yourself "Why wasn't all of this put in a trust of some kind where it could be used to benefit all people? "
Why not go with a Public VLAN and Secure VLAN? Setup the public just to have internet access and the secure to have full access. Make the Public password simple and let it out by word of mouth. That will allow users to access the internet and get mail when they are on campus and keep them away from the important stuff.
Obviously, since you admit you don't know what you're doing, you'll hire someone to do this, yes?
A safe driver has nothing to fear, takes the camera, and pays less.
This is a fallacy in line with "innocent people having nothing to fear from the government" that we hear as justification for illegal wiretaps, which is patent bullshit.
If I get in a wreck and it's my fault, my policy (typically) gets reviewed, maybe canceled and my premiums go up. Insurance companies serve me, not the other way around. I've had one ticket in my last 20 years of driving in a large, congested metro area and I sure as hell don't want my insurance company watching me drive.
Exactly. The real solution is to buy some peanut butter (which they love) and make a big ball of peanutbutter and steel wool. Leave it wherever and let them eat it and they'll die. Which will solve most of the problem.
Getting rid of the food source will fix all the problem, though. Rats are lazy and don't venture far from their nests for food. No food = no rats.
Chalk one up for arrogance and idealism. It's nice to think that only the low-end people get released in tough times, but it just doesn't work that way. I probably fall into your view of people who don't "deserve" to be in IT, but I've seen a lot of people with a lot more education than I have get released seemingly by whim. Conversely, I work with squads of people who astonish me daily by their determination to clamber onto a chair and bang out an email that is barely legible.
Oh Lord. That game was the biggest time sink of my early 20's. I wasted entire sleepless weekends of my ute killing spiders and cleaning Bavarian basements. GoodTimes.
It's not all that. I've got a mission right now to keep finding a new job before my Big Blue boss can ship it overseas. I've been on that mission for 4 years now. It's getting old.
IANAL, it may very well be that they can get unemployment (under an implicit assumption that their previous rate of pay was based on forty hours per week even though the parameters of the story suggest that they were working overtime). However, the bare facts of the story (15% base salary cut but time and a half for overtime) does not necessarily mean a real pay cut. In practice, these employees may actually get an increase in pay (if they work forty-five or more hours per week).
Sadly, it won't work that way. All OT now must be approved in writing by two levels of management. Daily.
Very few of them will get OT. ALL OT now has to be approved by 2 levels of management in writing every day. Can you imagine as a part of your day having to manually approve OT for 200+ employees?
Looks like a very slick layoff that will be filed under "attrition".
IBM gives you a 190MB limit. This started about 3 years ago when storage wasn't quite free and some idiots refused to archive their old mail and had mail files over 30GB.
You can archive your mail with Domino/Notes. There's even a handy tool to do it under the actions menu. Give it a whirl. Put my mail in folders and I archive it on a running 30 day schedule. it makes my mailfile a lot faster and easy to deal with.
They aren't fucking anyone. They're changing their pension, not eliminating it. The money will still be there, IBM just won't be adding to it. Instead they will be contributing more to a 401k than they are now. The employees are getting the exact same amount of money they were before. The only difference is that the employees get to manage it instead of it being stuck in low return crap like T-Bills.
Jeez. Some of you people make it sound like you ordered beer and got a bottle of piss. It's not all that bad. There are still some VERY cool visuals. Granted, some of it got a little tedious (but not as bad as Halo), but there were some great scenes in the game. If you liked the first game and the basic mechanics and scenery, WW is a worthy addition. Especially if you can grab a copy for around $20.
I can remember coming home from the bars and playing this until 3 or 4 AM then getting a few hours of sleep and trudging off to work again. WC 1, 2 and 3 lost me weeks of sleep.
Mine has caller id that works fine. It also has a phone list of the last 10 calls that is very useful as a 'phonebook'. However, most of the people I call, I know their numbers already.
Rolling Stone has been on the trailing edge of every trend the music industry has ever had. It's People Magazine for folks who think that Smashmouth was edgy and wonder where "those 2 chicks from 'The Breeders' disappeared to".
If you don't understand that the music industry creates it's own stars by tireless promotion, jam-it-down-your-throat over-saturation and outright exploitation of anything they can get their claws into, you've overestimated them. Witness 'The Darkness'.

Find out what kind of person they are. Since theya re going to be your manager, you're going to have to get along with them. If you just hire a bureaucrat with no depth you'll regrat it.

Ted Turner is a lot of things, but a lucid, pillar of the community isn't one of them. He's a nut-bag with a pot of money.

If your call is that important, you should be taking it from a landline or at least a secure office where you aren't subjected to corporate spies.
Probably not. I would imagine that most towers are just dumb repeaters with little to no ability to triage any reception problems by anything else.
