It's no use. Your extreme offense warranted an FBI inquiry at the slashdot offices and you're looking at a straight 30-year isolated cell in a federal prison near you.
Microsoft business division president Jeff Raikes said: "We are taking a significant step forward by combining our deep client and server software experience with our strong commitment to delivering flexible services offerings for our wide variety of customers and their unique needs."
Such language makes me wonder whether English is these people's first language.
Quoting Douglas Adams: "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons."
Give us a standard that actually delivers enough power that you don't need an additional power cord for just about every other device already...:/
According to Intel, the new USB 3 standard will use fiber optic cable for data as well as power. The data will be modulated on a high-powered laser light signal, enough to deliver the power to spin up a harddisk, or, alternatively, burn through one solid oaken office door as well as the sales guy who was about to open said door.
I have the ability to see every website they visit
I've done an internship at CMG and it used to be that the proxy also had an HTTP server installed for the intranet users. It displayed the proxy logs for all to see. When I mentioned this to my manager, he said "well found" and explained that this solved the dilemma of who should see the logs.
I don't know where you live, but in my country the employer has to state in advance that usage of PC equipment and internet resources can be spied upon. Otherwise viewing porn at work is not a firing offense.
Reminds me of my student time. One guy is staring at his terminal with IRC session. Other guy walks in, sees HD lying on table and asks: "whose HD is this?". IRC guy keeps on staring and grunts "mine". Other guy doesn't touch harddisk, but says "Let's see if it can take THIS" and slaps hand twice on another table.:-)
IRC guy jumps up and screams YOU BASTARD YOU RUINED MY DISK. Took him a while to calm down and understand his beard was pulled:-)
Sounds like a typical lemon market. There are a number of things clients need to keep track of when selecting a colocation host, but yeah in general you can severely be hosed.
For the last few years, I've been reading forums like webhostingtalk.com and this happens more than you think. The webhosting business has been a real competitive arena for the last few years and people expect to get good service for as little as $1 per month. I'm not surprised when some business get their throat cut.
On the other, I had a commitment and moral responsibility to the company I worked for.
Finally, I reached the correct solution: I resigned my position as manager of the team.
As I'm sure you've noticed, I am personally not suited for management. I will never put myself in that situation again.
I don't see why all managers have to be able to fire someone. Let someone else in the management team do it, who has done it before and doesn't mind to.
I equally don't see why all programmers have to be able to do semaphores, shared memory and mulththreading. Let someone else in the development team do it, who has done it before and doesn't mind it.
Great post! OK, I know this as a grid:-) Terminology changes (thanks, Markering), principles don't. I've played around with Oracle 10g, installing database "heads" on various machines where the database files themselves remain on a SAN. Same idea except more specialized than you meant.
Network Queue Systems Have been optimising server resource utilisation for decades.
Now, I've been in the IT industry for ~ 5 years now and I've never heard of something like "Network Queue Systems". And definitely not in connection to power savings. Could you expand on this a little more so I know what the +1 insightful was for?
Keep in mind that GbE network cards generate roughly 10,000 to 50,000 interrupts/sec when transferring at speeds approaching 1 Gbit/s
If you've got a GbE network card generating more than 10000 interrupts/sec, you should really adjust your driver settings, get a new driver or get a new network card.
A comparing test with maxed-out Gb network cards:
Intel Pro/1000 GT, 30% CPU, 5.000 interrupts/sec
D-Link DGE-550SX, 80% CPU, 23.000 interrupts/sec

Why doesn't he walk back to his car after lunch for a nap. Don't bill that time, just continue working for the time spent sleeping.
Hmmyeah I see your point.

So, you think the reason for refusing to honour the warranty is OK?

In short, you don't need to be a perfect manager.

You might want to correct him then, so we can judge for ourselves.
