The kernel isn't where we need improvment - it's the developer tool kits that are needed. All the open source developer tools are crap, i'm sorry to say it but it's just the truth people. compare gtk to QT (yes i know QT is free, but not if you want closed source which is what many many people want), or compare anything.net to... well i can't even think of anything that's even close. look at the direct x tool kit compared to opengl, sure opengl can do some ok things but developing in it compared to DX is a nightmare. another prime example is reporting tool kits. open source has NOTHING even remotely as good as crystal or ms reporting services.
I program in python and am an avid postgresql fan, just to show i'm not some ms troll. i just want better developer tool kits.
THESE are the things holding linux back, not it's kernel or it's admin tools.
"Yes, and if I were to draw a strict separation between personal time and work, I'd turn off my cellphone once the clock hits 5PM, hang up on the customer I was talking to, and drive off before someone can say "I think one of our servers just crashed". You'll find that less employers have problems with reading slashdot and checking your mail at work, than saying "Oh, I'm sorry, personal time just began"."
I agree, but that's got nothing to do with privacy at all. that's your work ethic. If your employer is willing to provide that level of give and take thats fine, but there's no reason to expect it, just like they have no right to expect you to answer your phone after 5pm (if thats your work agreement).
"You're at work to do a job, not to give up your rights and become a slave for 8 (or more) hours a day."
I love this. people at a loss to explain their reasoning always resort to claiming what they do is some kind of right. it's just crap, you don't have the right to use work equipment for personal use. end of story.
Comparing being expected to be at work for 8 hours and stick to the task at hand as slavery is just bullshit.
This is all irrelivant to the topic at hand though, gps units aren't for spying, they are so taxi customers can query the driver if he is off route and help prevent them being ripped off. there isn't any privacy issue here
since when do you expect privacy at work? isn't that the very reason they call it private/personal time when you NOT at work. is there any mention of a tracking system in place with the gps units? no? there's your answer sunshine.
The obvious answer everyone here seems to be missing is that you don't need to provide him with a per person unit of measure, simply measure the performace of the services the sysadmin team provides instead. the purpose of kpi's is to get approval for capital (well is SHOULD be). If i asked you for $50 you'd ask "why?", it's the same with board rooms when you ask for that extra million to hire extra staff.
anyone who has worked in or with BI teams/managment knows this. frankly i'm a little suprised at how little everyone appears to understand about this process.
Usually guys like this are a real pain in the ass, but you can work them to your advantage if you know how.
he will use these KPI's to try get approval for more funds. what you need to do is help him do this, since this will benifit you directly. I would suggest you talk in terms of system avalibility and utilisation. how avalible the various system services have been per day and how much they have been utilised. uptime,down time and load esstentially.
By the sounds of it you could just walk up and cap them point blank. This would probably only work for the first 2 or 3 till they got wise to whiteman's boom stick. Then the hunt begins.
"I also don't see any reason to say that we have higher intelligence"
I don't shit in my own hand then eat it. Yes, I am better then a monkey. Clearly you have assessed your own intelligence and found it to be less then a monkey, that's the only conclusion i can draw from your post.
I only dumb thing the people are doing in this whole situation, is taking crap from a stupid monkey.
wtf? "megacorporations" build factories in poor nations that provide jobs. sure they suck ass, but it's either work in a sweat shop for 10c a day, or work the fields till your back breaks or prosititue your body till you die from AIDS. i know which i'd pick.
How on earth you make a link between corperations and road side gangs stealing food is a theory i truly need to hear for my own amusment.
lastly, i'd like to point out that it's YOU that's the insensitive one. how the fuck can you sit there and propose that a poor farming afican community should go with LESS FOOD so that the monkeys are ok, and still claim the moral high ground, i'll never know. As CLEARLY stated in the article, they already tried their best to just scare the monkeys off (which i'm in favour of if it works). I suggest you get a little perspective and lose the aggorance.
Your the one in here trying to lord it over everyone else with your self proclaimed superiority. I propose that you go work in a field with nipple clenching monkeys, starving for a few days. you'd sing a different tune then i'm sure.
Thats convienent for you to push this, since your not the one starving, asshole. Why the fuck do you think you have any right to interfer in the first place? bleeding hearts like you caused the problem by brow beating these countries into making laws to stop any harm coming to your precious monkeys in the first place. If you had of just let them kill the odd 1 or 2 for stealing, the monkeys would have stayed afraid of humans and it wouldn't have come to this.
"let u.n. work something out."
Yeah right and in the mean time the villagers have to go hungry, all because you feel bad for some monkeys. Do you have any clue just how long it takes the u.n to do ANYTHING?
Then you better start by putting a gun to your own head. "yet trying to purport shooting people who think shooting monkeys that are harrassing people" makes no sense at all.
"that's right kill anything that stands in your way."
We aren't talking about the monkeys standing in the way of me having a 2nd car, or having a new play station. We are talking about them preventing some of the poorest people in the world getting enough food just to survive. So yes, fuck the stupid monkeys.
"can we not try something just as effective that doesn't involve killing them first"
What are you, dense? they have already tried nasty tasting baits, dressing up to scare them and hitting them with sticks. I'd say that's a fucking good effort for people facing starvation because of the monkeys.
monkeys > sheep. they already tried baits and the monkeys have figured out how to tell if something was baited. they (the women in the field) tried wearing mens clothing to scare them to but the monkeys figured that out as well. Now the monkeys are grabbing the women breasts and making gestures mimicing sexual thrusting.
this is all because, morons from other countries have actually covinced these poor countries that they shouldn't kill animals like monkeys, to satisfy thier own pathetic middle class guilt.
I hope the villagers buy themselves some ak's and blow those monkeys a few new holes.
So you'd bet 25 years in a pound me in the ass federal prison on that? your mistake is assuming anyone in government will approch the subject with any kind of logic. trust me, all they will see is the words "UAV" and "Iran"
Your grasp on history is lacking. The problem with that israel shouldn't have ever been created. israel pushed people off their lands, bulldozed their houses right in front of them. The rest of the world failed to do anything to stop it. All this of done in the name of god, because it says those lands belong to the jewish people in the bible.
Now just stop and think for 5 minutes, how you would react it that happened to your home, and your country.
What kind soft pussy are you? pain and anguish? these are drunken idiots paying an obviously dangerous game (which the japs LOVE btw), probably pumping up the strength level to try impress mates/girls and then getting totally owned - i couldn't think of anything funnier.

I'm advocating the rights of the villagers not to starve. Yeah i'm such a prick.
right, didn't think so.
Last time i tried wine, after hours of pain i got it to work, and it was totally useless. has this changed?
They might be some smart monkeys, but if it was my property, they would need to think their way around a .38 bullet.

article states they are grabbing their breats. just what does it take in your books to be sexual harassment?

You mean HIV, AIDS is a progression of the symptoms. And no, HIV is not passed ingestion. shows how much you know.

I'd be strapped bombs to things as well.
games aren't just for kids. The fact games are a multi billion dollar industry shows this clearly.
no one can make me part with my money if i don't want to. get a clue.

one thing people do is pull your arm towards them, so that your reaching out.
jesus you and your friends sound like an unhealthy bunch. i don't know 1/2 that amount of people with that many conditions.
