i had issues with that to and found that the quality feedback agent would suck memory. i unintstalled then reinstalled without it and it magically disappeared, now i always custom the installation and leave out the QFA. try removing that and see if it helps
agreed. i like my job. right now it's about the only thing in my life that i dont dislike. (that's a long arduous story i wont bore you with) i graduated Dec 2004 and had a background of FTE sys admin/net ops in college with a CS degree (programing theory). this got me a lot of second round interviews where i lost "entry level" jobs to people that had mid-level experience. the versatility became a double edged sword that was hurting as much as helping. combine that with having an electrical engineer for a father and viewing cs as bot the hardware and software. (i've been using computers since before i walked. literally.) i went into retail sales in order to get insurance, and did freelance webscripting. i was able to fund a few semesters of grad courses. during this time i applied for a part time net ops internship figuring the "real world" experience would be worth sacraficing the extra money of the scripting. i lucked out. the reason why my dad told me to look this company, as it turns out, is because someone he worked with at a previous company (3com) came here and they had talked recently and it was suggested i look here. my timing was perfect. the day after i sent in my resume i was called by the HR director and asked why i applied for an internship. i explained my situation, and was asked if i'd mind if my resume was fwded to a manager who is trying to finalize funding for a spot opening. she was about to tell me the job description when there was a beep, she went to get the line, it was the manager asking her to get me in for an interview asap. 2 weeks later (3/21/2005) i started this job. now i'm a systems engineer. i'm using the skills from the FTE jobs as well as the training of the degree and learning aspects of other engineering trades that are involved in computers. the variety of aspects to the job is what makes me like it and look forward to it every day. personally, i feel too many people have gone into CS for the $$ instead of the interst. i think that's part of the griping. if you dont like your job, find somehting you enjoy, and find a way to make money in it. it'll allow those of us who like it to be more valuable as we are not only happy with our jobs, but we have less competition.
i see a lto of talk about security, people bashing withut thought or affirming without thought. simple fact of security for me, and for most i know, is the response to a threat.
MS dilly dallys and covers up before thy finally "fix"
i say "fix" becasue MS never fixes, they just change the access route.
Mozilla WILINGLY announced their big issue before anyone else. they also asked peole for patience while they work on a fix. within 24 yhours they had a genuine fix. this is the history of netscape/mozilla. this is why they are gaining in popularity. obviously as they get larger they will have more targets, but they have a track record fo announcing early and asking for patience while they fix it with suggestion on how to avoid it. MS takes the opposite approach: cover up and ignore until pressure is too great
MS == lazy dinosaur
not suprising, AMD has been making products that have better quality than Intel since th eAthlon was first launched. The fact I work in a place where 75% are ex-DEC hardware engineers and found out that three fourths of the alpha processor people left before Intel got their hands on that, combined witht he fact half odf them went to AMD and the fact I know someintel people and know that the Xenon is the ONLY chip to have ANY alpha technology integrated says a lot. AMD has been making AMAZING strides in graphics ability. Alpha basically handled ALL Intel x86 and apple stuff better than both of those, was the frist TRUE 64 bit chip. even now intel Itanium is a massive change fromtheir standard, and wwas released AFTER the AMD 64 bit. it's only a matter of time until AMD starts seeing their marketshare increase as the general populace starts to realize that Intel HAS ALREADY become the dinosaur that DEC was.
My prof last semester at grad school works for verizon where they have the FTTP in development. it's being tested and their only real problem right now is a battery they trust to work like they want it to for traditional phone service simulation.
Verizon isnt playing with BITS like everyone else. it's a BYTE rating for fiber. 50 MB capable. 15 MB base. like with DSL. they plan on switching all DSL over once it's running. they will pipe direct tv THROUGH the fiber. Unlike DSL this goes through repeaters and amplifiers. remember, DSL REQUIRES unbroken path. and maxes out at one-mile. Cable needs to start DOCSIS3 now if they want to keep ahead of verizon. after the 911 suing by attorney genereals, people dont have as much confidence in VoIP. Fiber from Verizon has already promised to mimic traditional or improve upon it. no lost features. that's what's cauing the battery problem
most open source supporters that use MS Win-BLOWS do so soley for compatability with idiots that have been assimilated. or rather, why i use it, it's hard to find ways to get things like adobe to run properly even with wine. so i have two machines, the one i like, and the one society's willingness to roll over and let the borg assimilate them causes me to need. look at palm: that is what MS SHOULD have done. instead we have a modern-day second-rate robber-barron (jp morgan anyone?)
but since I happen to have a dual degree in computer science as well as lighting and sound design, you should know this can get very complicated and costly rather fast.
if i were you i'd go back to your boss and tel him that the first day of research shows that there are probably as many solutions as there are people that can be asked about this, if not more.
your best bet at handling everything is to get a definitive ceiling on the budget and then line up a few professionals willing to make a sales pitch to your boss to get the contract. tell your boss the fastest way is to get someone who does it professionally, and you need a day to have him see sales pitches and decide whic profssional he feels is most competent. the reason you want him approving the professional is simple: he's going to have to use the technology, therefore you want him to have selected the person installing it.
Ever heard of Mozilla? Microkernel? POSIX used microkernels first (this was the first and most harped on thing in my os class in college) HP goes so far as to call it's distro and OS and OE. The OS is everything you need to run. the actual microkernel. A lot of others are starting to pick up on this, such as Red Hat, even though they arent doing the naming convention, which i personally like. The OE is the OS + the common apps, and you choose which parts of the OE you want. This is better than MS. You strike me as being either behind, or full of sh*t.
Before you get mad at that: win 95: most bloated thing seen until ME/2k Yes, 98/98SE/NT4.x are all smaller, but starting with ME/2k internet explorer is now tied into the OS as a necessary thing to have, forgetting about the microkernel, making spyware a major problem, and begining a trend in MS to bundle ALL of its software together in a stand at dominance by eliminating the need for lazy people to shop, and thus destroy the competition. Outlook and MSN are now tied into the OS as well. In XP you cannot truely remove outlook or MSN messenger, something possible in both ME and 2k
now how can you say MS is any better than the linux distros that bundle 10x more software than anyone needs?
it cant be. at least in the linux distros, the bundled software isnt necessary for the OS to run correctly
ironically, by the time i was in second grade i did all class and homework in recess and still got outside.
pissed the teachers off that i was a massive distrubance and not showing up as "gifted" in testing. i lucked out. the teacher i had saw it as a challenge to get me to be prodcutive in class. (might have something to do with parents heading the pta, and volunteering in schools all the time, being on/head of the town''s school committee) in college i found out why. if they had done their job right they would have found that when you look at raw intelligence i can easily show up most of mensa. my ability to process on the other hand, is pathetic at best.
turns out anything more than 10 points is considered a sign of a learning disorder. my discrepency is 30 points. 99th percentile intelligence 69th processing.
ever heard of an idiot savant? prior to getting those test results, which saved me from flunking out due to an inability to get foreign languages as a diret result of what was found on the processing, i jokingly referred to myself as an idiot savant that's not idiot enough for people to realize i'm savant beacuse of my math/computer talent. my friends always laughed. now the friend i had when i found that out, and myself, wonder... did i somehow know i might actually be nearing that? how much farther of a discrepency until i would be idiot savant and completely unable to integrate with the world--ie: autisitc?
i graduate hs in 1998. a friend of mine was the network/system admin in the hs. yes. i am serious. the kid is also one of those freaks that NEVER re-writes code. it always goes perfect the first time. and here's the scary thing, bach then he genereally wrote code with his back to the computer talking to friends. at least while he was at school. people think i'm talented. i am. i tested out of those courses too. but i'm no where near his level. i know precisely what you mean. unless you show yourself as already mostly matured to someone the staff feels they can respect, they wont listen to you. i doubt most people with andy's talent have that much respect from the teachers. he's extremely diplomatic. i wish i hadnt lost touch with him since graduating. it's been about 3 years since i spoke with him last.
lmao. ms actually responds even then??? please. there was a javascript problem that all scripts based on it shared. it was announced in an irc room by the peron that found it. took mozilla/netscape/firefox 8 hours to get a fix. jscript, microsoft's javascript rip off, was also affected the same way. even after dozens of demos, ms still denied it was there. after a week of having demos on the web, they finally admitted it. then it took them another week and a half to fix.
and that's the best response time i can rmemeber from microsoft....which is precisely why this whole "we'll ignore the fact our ignoring the sandbox made massive problems for our os/browser/email and instead go into av/spyware" thing very scary.
as soon as they gain the majority marketshare the response times should end up getting cut down, becasue that's what haappens with everything they do.
they need to be chopped up into an os company and a software company, if not farther than that.
it's like the robberbarons of yesteryear. remember rockefeller? jpmorgan? these people owned parts of every facet of life, or tried to, making them not just monopolies of one facet (say os) but controlling how the people making the regulation make them. which was a danger to the populous. this is why there are anti-trust laws. unfortunately, the republicans killed that by letting microsoft win that case by pulling out.

no. nerds are just more likely to recognise they have issues and try to get them fixed.
this isn on FF/XP SP2 @ work @ home i have two POSIX (FC3 w/SE on serving to family and friends and another FreeBSD) systems that i use
