I'd be terrified of the possible repercussions from this. In the more immediate, what does this do to your liver? Longer term, what impact might this have on other insect populations? And will this impact negatively effect human populations?
Looking purely at trends will give you some pretty odd ideas. It's a habit that managers get in to, which drives the rest of us up a wall.
Corporate uptake of alternative browsers will be hampered because of the lack of manageability inherent in IE. This will block firefox in many locations, but chrome too, to a lesser extent. And as firefox is the largest contender, it has a bigger impact on them overall.
If firefox wants to make inroads here, they need to revamp their profile system. It's horrible, and has been since the early days, but because of some misguided bias by some key developers ( or outright laziness ), it remains to cause issues.
They need to abstract user settings to an external module that can change depending on the platform; this would allow developers to store settings in windows registry giving us easier manageability of the beast. An ADM module would be appreciated too.
The virtual character then jubilantly announces the status of the meal to both the gamer and the other individuals playing online: "Vorcon's meal is about to be done!" "Better eat the ribs while they're hot!" etc
Well, let's just hope the announcements are limited to the food being eaten and not other "facilities". Not that some 'tard announcing every little thing isn't annoying enough, actually.
And a crapper built in to the chair you sit in to for gaming? I sincerely hope who ever uses this mutes their mic first.
Of course there are examples from all corners of the industry; and the private business was well within their rights to keep him around. Me? I've been in enough unions, and would have fired the organizers too.
My point is; employers need to be flexible enough to terminate the deadwood. Unions stand against that, therefore unions are bad. No one is owed a job, and in the case of your buddy, no one gets to tell someone else how to run their's.
While true, and it does not appear to be as hard to do as it is at this school district, it's still , literally, months of man power getting your ducks in a row before the termination, then up to a year afterwards of arbitration and the like. All because of unions.
Instead, it should be as simple as 1) Determining the faults 2) Determining if they can be corrected 3) Terminating if warranted.
The same could be said for any position which is covered by a union. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get rid of deadwood in a local city government position, and it's strictly because of the unions and contracts.
Meanwhile, those without the seniority( but rock their jobs ) are the first up for lay offs. Unions are the cause of this insanity.
I have a business problem which a properly programmed computer can solve. I can either;
a) Hire a programmer, or a team of programmers, to create this application for me. b) Utilize a proprietary application, with a contract to protect my rights.
Is the proprietary application free? No, but it does increase my efficiency 10x over. Would I get that kind of increase by hiring the programmers? Not after you take it to account all of the overhead I have with that plan. It just doesn't make business sense to go with option A, regardless of my personal belief on the topic.
Boils down to personal preference, I think. Regardless, the viability of desktop linux is not the point I was making; it's that just about every application beyond desktop use linux is a more appealing choice.
I personally find getting almost anything done on Linux much more time consuming than either OS X or Windows...
If we're talking about desktop work, I'll grant you that. But once we start talking about network administration tasks, there's really no comparison. Linux is far easier to manage than any windows box i've ever used.
Once again, we have a built in linux goody which helps us out; -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m recent --set --name sshattack --rsource -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m recent --rcheck --seconds 300 --hitcount 3 --name sshattack --rsource -j LOG --log-prefix "SSH Drop: " -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m recent --rcheck --seconds 300 --hitcount 3 --name sshattack --rsource -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
The above allows three connections in a 5 minute period to port 22. After that it rejects any further connection attempts until the 5 minute timer is up.
I'm not sure anybody would argue that UI is not important. The frustration stems from the fact that the UI is as important as it is, and is done as poorly as it often is.
I can't tell you the number of times I've had to figure out some arcane system just to change a minor setting. Hours have been spent tracking down a minor check box, because the UI was designed horribly.
How about abstracting the profile from the program itself? Maybe make it a separate module which can then be pluggable. So then, if I want to run firefox in a corporate environment via GPO, I can use a module which allows me to do that.
And let's bin the entire concept of multiple profiles per account while we're at it.
Once the bomb squad's involved, they must treat it like it's a real explosive until they can determine otherwise. Were I a criminal with a grudge against cops, I would do something exactly like this in the hopes they dismissed it as a toy. Then, when they got close because it's just a toy, I'd blow it.
Can you imagine cops not taking it seriously, and having it hurt the public?
Local businesses criticised the police for taking so long to realise there was no threat.
Alberto Romanelli, owner of the Windmill put that was evacuated, said: "I lost a good hour's worth of business."
What a bunch of whiny little bitches. I bet they'd have been whining pretty loudly if the cops were faster but didn't a thorough job of it.
If the choice is between "the muck" or dealing with those like you ( it isn't, btw, but let's pretend ), I'll choose the muck every time.
You are welcome to believe the world "needs" you, your life, your delusion. However, what the world really needs are good communicators, who can take what you might refer to as "mediocre" talent and tie it all together in to something wonderful.
All bodies radiate, how much depends on their temperature.
Er...and the medium they are in. I would lose body heat faster in the sea than in space, because of the volume of colder material and it's shape-conforming nature.
Some versions of netware are, some aren't, and it's highly hardware dependent.
Now me? I get more consistent results from AD, so guess which environment I'm going to push ( although to be fair, I never did try out edirectory on linux )?
Does that imply a guilty conscience to some degree, or only fear of his handlers?
More pattern recognition, I'd guess. Guilt is a human concept who's origins, you guessed it, lay in religion. As I have yet to see a chimp confessing, I'd say it's the chimp understanding that this action may not be best appreciated by his/her handlers, and thus attempting to hide it's actions.
You know, nevermind, that's almost exactly like religion.
What is science fiction but the study of humanity? In that regard, good science fiction can't help but be dramatic. Does that make it a soap opera? Hardly. Soap operas are their own special, campy, beast.
Oh, and she killed them with math, what's wrong with that?
Absolutely. I would love firefox to be a viable browser in the workplace, but it simply isn't given the way settings are stored alone, nevermind the inability to patch and update.

This approach is dangerous.

The recent module in iptables tracks per source IP address, so that's not a concern.
Once again, we have a built in linux goody which helps us out;
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m recent --set --name sshattack --rsource

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 --tcp-flags SYN,RST,ACK SYN -m recent --rcheck --seconds 300 --hitcount 3 --name sshattack --rsource -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
The above allows three connections in a 5 minute period to port 22. After that it rejects any further connection attempts until the 5 minute timer is up.
We formulized it and called it marriage though.

Talk about a lose lose situation.

What else is out there that might be an impact hazard?
The mere act of unauthorized installation is malicious.
