If you are going to be training senior management, focus 100% on the ERM software and how they can use it for their business needs. They could likely care less about the underlying plumbing and it would take much more time and effort than they'd be willing to undergo, plus it's not in their interests to do that. That's why they hire smart IT guys, right?
Dang! Just lost my mod points but - you're right. In my long career I've worked at lots of companies of all sizes, including 7 years at Intel. Easily one of the best run and most open-source friendly companies going. I was there when Andy Grove told Bill Gates to shove it when Bill asked them not to send any execs to speak at a Linux conference. Andy went himself.
First, learn how to create a useful website. This guy's site says "Telephone Solutions", but when I look in what should be the Products tab, I find....a fax server. Really? No mention anywhere about what telephony solutions they have other than that fax server. I'm surprised that he's still in business, though it's probably due to word of mouth referrals for regular IT consulting stuff. Advertise, man! Give all of your products and solutions easy and prominent mention with lots of details so that people can easily understand what you do.
Absolutely one of the worst shows on television. How Tosh.0 stays on the air at all is beyond me. It's basically some supposedly hipster-ish dude making snarky comments about busted-my-nuts-doing-something-stupid videos. Blecch!
No offense, but those friends of yours are wimps. I live in Georgia, am 59 years old, smoke cigarettes and do not exercise regularly. OTOH, I'm also not obese...However, each year for the last 3 years, my son and I have traveled to Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park (one of the best I've ever seen, BTW) for a weeklong bout of trail hiking. Most of the trailheads are in the 7-8K ft range, with many of the trails reaching 10,000 ft and more. Certainly, we were both pausing more frequently as the elevation rose, but altitude sickness at 10,000 feet? Not a bit that either of us experienced.
I agree! Having worked at Intel for a few years, I can tell you that all Intel *server* mobos are thoroughly tested with Linux. Can;t swear to the same thing for desktop mobos, but any Intel server mobo should work perfectly.
I submit, sir, that this view misses the point. Horrific as they are, rape and molestation are in the same legal category as, say, murder. If a murderer is released, but not required to submit to a "murderers registry", why are these the only crimes for which the ancient principle of "once a person has done their time and paid their debt to society, they are citizens once again" does not apply? Of course, the answer is the same reason we are still - in 2012/2013 openly discussing contraception and abortion - we are a very Puritanical people when it comes to sex. Violence, not so much.....
Seeing as you are using the loaded terms "far left", "Union goon", "eco-lawyer" and - for some reason - feel compelled to capitalize "STUDENT", your credibility is sorely lacking in any kind of truly intelligent discussion. Move along - the talk radio fest is starting and you don't want to miss your daily dose of anti-intellectualism, rampant paranoia, fear-mongering and sloganeering. PS - for some reason you omitted ACORN. I know they don't exist anymore but that hasn't seemed to stop the screeching about them....
Look - obviously they're talking about a radically different technique of manufacturing so it's a little bit of apples and oranges. Having said that, you're fundamentally correct in that the even more radical difference in price of the basic building blocks makes it questionable as to the ultimate cost effectiveness.
BTW, kudos to these guys for pushing the envelope!!!
Look, I understand that we're surrounded by video cameras *statically* recording us as we move through an area, but just sitting down at someone's table while they're on the phone and shoving a camera in their face, and his other antics, is just pure douche-ness, plain and simple!
." Social justice is a code word for Marxism. 'Nuff said.
Gee! And here all this time I thought that Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, etc. were only concerned with "social justice". If only they had known that they were serving Karl Marx! Oh, the humanity!!!
That is, most managers will focus on the metrics that are easy to measure (like hours worked, say) as opposed to the metrics that matter (quality, supportability, etc.)
Let's be real - China is a Communist dictatorship, period. Yes, they furnish most of our consumer (and soon industrial) products, but at the end of the day they are a totalitarian dictatorship and if you plan on going there, keep that foremost in your mind. Unlike even the RIAA, they will shoot you dead if you screw with them.
I respectfully disagree, though I have heard and, for a time, subscribed to that benign view but I have come to change my mind. Here's why...
Once you hang your existential hat onto an external ideology, of whatever stripe - in this case religion, you lose that basic connection of awareness/responsibility/fate and how they interact to really map out what becomes our life. No, it wasn't that you didn't love Jesus enough as to why you lost your job, had the transmission die in your car, etc. It was a combination of the above. From there, comes the really important question: WTF do *I* do now?
Errrr - no. Lightning strikes nearby are nothing at all like the normal, slow over-current events that fuses and/or breakers are designed to handle. I've seen panels completely melted. Of course, at that point, every electronic device and quite a few appliances had already absorbed some much energy that they were equally fried.
Like STDs and AIDS, there is good protection available, just not perfect.
Just to be accurate (yeah, I know....), Al Gore *never* claimed to have "invented" the internet, but he did push through Congress the legislation that freed the internet from its walled garden of universities and defense contractors. But - Hey! - facts never have stopped a good meme.
Crikey! When I started at Data General in the repair depot, all of our test chassis used the good, old 110 baud teletype *with* built-in paper tape reader. Ah, those were the days....

What this really points to is that 90% - or more - of morality is ultimately based on convenience and/or expediency.
Actually, the word is "amateur", not "amature" - unkless you mean "not mature"....

Don't you know that "common sense" is an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp", "military intelligence" and - my favorite "user friendly"?
