When Kerry would flip flop on the same day, like when he told one group of greenies that he didn't own SUVs, then on the same day told UAW group that he owned several.
That's what we call a "lie", nothing to do with changing your mind.
That would almost certainly be a problem with your procurement department, not IT. IT install and support software, it's extremely rare that they are involved in the actual purchasing beyond answering an initial "Is this the right one" query. Procurement not being able to purchase except from approved vendors is NOT rare though, that's the way almost all businesses work.
Blame IT for crap IT, don't blame us because your business processes are crap or because your business unit director won't spend any money on you.
I'll see your Oxyacetylene torch and raise you the Criminal Damage Act of 1971 (the wikipedia article doesn't mention the punishment but it's up to 10 years in jail).
That's not to say I don't hate the bastards with a passion but (aside from melting your tyres) an oxyacetylene torch is not the answer.
* Disturbing isn't it. Being asked to give your life on command but they can't afford to feed their families? Yeah, It's not a left or right issue: both sides fucked this one up.
It's not disturbing, it's (pardon my French) fucking disgraceful. I'm a scaley brat (translation: my dad was in the RAF) and while airman's married quarters aren't exactly the best they're still a roof over your head and you can afford the bills. An SAC doesn't earn much but even with two kids at least you can eat!
I'm one of those who disagrees with the current clusterfuck in Iraq but I blame that on politicians (see Steve Earle's Rich Man's War), the servicemen risking their lives deserve immense respect and under no circumstances whatsoever should their families need goddamn food stamps in order to eat or have to live in a poxy hotel room because there's no base housing.
Close, but no cigar. Closer would be "To allow the people who are actually creating the stuff (or marketing it, or selling it) to do their jobs in a way that optimizes the employee's time without compromising the integrity of the network."
If you need some legitimate software to do your job then it's MY job to install it, not yours. All you need to do is tell me once and if it looks kosher I'll install it. Then I'll get a remote install package put together for it so next time you or anyone else needs it installing we can do it centrally at the press of a button.
IT are here to help, it's just that we have to work within certain boudaries otherwise it all goes to
Hell.
Now add in 24/7/365 support and a team to run the network it's going to use, all that has to be taken into account when costing a laptop. The IT department budget doesn't grow on trees you know.
BCC news tries to be as balanced as possible, I know of no other press organisation that would have reported the bombing of one of their own reporters by 'friendly' forces in quite the way John Simpson did.
Immersion is a small company with less interest in actually developing "touch sensitive" force feedback devices, and more interest in making money in a niche market that simply should not exist.
What a load of utter bollocks. Sorry to be so blunt but it's the only way to describe how utterly wrong you are. Immersion do a lot of business in medical simulation tech where realistic force feedback is absolutely critical and as far as I'm aware they are the world leaders in the field.

You don't "own" Mac OS X. Apple is granting you a license to use it under a legal framework in various jurisdictions
Actually I'd argue it's completely the other way round. We (the public) own OS X and grant Apple copying/economic rights until the expiration of the copyright term. It's a temporary deal to allow them to make a few quid off their hard work.
I'm not arguing against your other points, just an interesting technicality I've never really seen explained by an expert.
. ..it might pick up on the author and allow searching for other stuff by the same author.
Because searching on "Philip Larkin" doesn't work?
Not well enough, no (IMNSHO of course). I might want to be able to search only for things where Philip Larkin is identified as the author rather than getting pages about Philip Larkin. I might want to be able to retrieve a poem by searching for a line contained within a poem and only get back pages containing the poem rather than discussion of the poem. It's blue skies stuff and will probably require more standards adherence than we are ever likely to see but the current shotgun approach to searching is only "good enough" rather than "good" (even if you understand how to use a search engine properly which most people don't).
The technical term is "breeder". You need to use the right tone when you say it but it gets right up the nose of the kind of person who uses words like poof, dyke, etc. It's turning something they feel pride in into an epiphet, the same way they do with words to describe gay people. It's not that most gay people feel pride in being gay itself but there is a certain justified pride in having come out and dealt with society/friends/family.
Can't we just dig up a lot of old exams from 25, 50, and 100 years ago, and have today's kids take them?
There was a British TV series that did just this, put a load of GCSE students through the old CSEs (for the benefit of overseas readers the CSE was the exam for students considered not up to O level (now GCSE) standard in academic subjects or for those taking vocational qualifications). They failed miserably.

Don't blame ITIL because your change management process is broken, ITIL is just a framework not a step by step instruction manual.
What do the former Warsaw Pact countries have to do with this?
First world = NATO (roughly).
Second world = Warsaw Pact (again, roughly).
Third world = countries no-one really cared about at the time.

Maybe not so definitely after all :)

Are you trying to say there isn't a link between people having guns and shooting people as opposed to people not having guns and not shooting people?

Not according to the guy who made the sounds for Apple.

That's like saying "I support your freedom of speech but only so long as I agree with what you say".
Interesting article here about some of the anti jamming techniques used.
I hadn't been reading Phrack but (in general) yes, that sort of thing. See here for a more credible source.
Of course jamming civilian GPS isn't the same as jamming military GPS but you get the idea, it can be done.
