Doesn't that make Help Desk Analyst an appropriate title? They're analyzing Help Desk's activities. Do you think the term 'analyst' is better given to someone who just reads steps off of a list and escalates the problem if the paper doesn't solve the persons problem?
Fair for whom? There's no shortage of grads that think they are worth 100k a year right out of school and believe that getting that salary would be fair. In my experience, most people think they ware worth far more then they genuinely are and when they get paid closer to reality they complain their pay isn't fair.
On top of that, companies that are forced to pay X amount because it is the going rate for Y job in the area often find that X amount is outrageous for the morons that end up applying for jobs. X ends up being seen as unfair by both employer and employee for different reasons.
You have to be careful about asking to be paid what you're worth, you might find you're not worth all that much.
Also, Don't you know not to browse the web with your sound turned up? That's like keeping your TV volume up while watching the weather channel and then being surprised by a commercial when you change it to a normal station.
Oh well that makes complete sense, I'll just stop listening to music I like because some jackass can't put a button on their site.
They don't have to make everyone stop working, they control where cameras and tours are going to go. All they have to have is a policy that if you work in a highly visible area, you're going to use a Mac.
Have you thought that they always show Macs when they take cameras in because the Macs look better and the 'image' of the Mac fits closer to the image they would like to project of the work environment?
They're not doing any work anymore and have convinced people to not only do their work for them, but pay the paper to read the final results. Is that what's going on here?
And if MS published such a whitelist so many of Slashdots readers would get up in arms about leveraging their monopoly and various other terms they don't really understand. That said, it really isn't Microsofts place or duty to police the internet and say what is and is not safe.

Would you like some computer with your video card? Why even have a system at all, can I just get a backplane to attach a NIC and power to this card and just run everything from it?
The only reason you remember it is because someone had the gall to do it to Americans. Terrorism happened all over the world before then but no one ever cared.
While FF7 may have had a good story, it was told horribly. It was almost impossible to follow, with large parts of the game not making any sense. I think the writer of the final draft was drunk when they put pen to paper.
There are Linux viruses in the wild, you just have to be a complete idiot to get them. I have had the pleasure (hey this doesn't happen often) of seeing an old Linux install that had one when the company I worked for was hired as an outsourced IT department.
Ok, technically it was a back door, and for the curious, this was it: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/defau lt5.asp?VName=ELF_RST.B
There has been bug reports for pretty much the only game I play now for about a year, which is only oh, 3 years after it's release, and it works just as well now as it did then which is to say not at all. You know why it has been so long? It's not the communities current favorite. If it's not the most popular application nothing will ever be done about it, the bug reports mean very little for most applications.
You might want to use Linux because you
Using is not pushing. I use a whole lot of different OS's but I don't suggest people use one that almost does what they want their computer to do. The idea that everyone must run Linux because it can nearly do what you want it to do is pushing, and the only reason for that completely irrational position is because you're supposed to hate Microsoft, and yes that is also the same reason why every time a Vista story pops up you have a horde of people telling you to switch to OS X.
Lots of games won't run at all under Wine. Linux is not an option if running any game you come across is important to you. For a lot of games, Linux is not an option even if you have to be able to play your favorite game.
"...you really can nearly run...," Great, I can nearly do my work on Linux. On desktops for the vast majority of people, nearly is not nearly good enough.
The only real reason Linux is pushed over Windows is because you are supposed to hate Microsoft.

When it does don't you think it might be ashamed about what its become? Going from the best search technology to just another ad agency.

Are you suggesting it's the "our boys will be home by Christmas" problem?

Who cares. The popular vote is just that, a popularity contest. Your vote doesn't mean anything.

Seems appropriate to me.

You mean the Thermal Paste issue that is actually non-existant? Is that the issue you're talking about?
Bravo.
OSS isn't about choice, it's about world domination.
It must be wonderful to be you. I bet you're a hit at parties.

To the world of tomorrow!

A really big one.
