We've ran into a nasty bug with Dell OEM version of Office 2013. Regardless if this is a manual or pre-installation of Office 2013, we will have to re-activate the product TWICE in a row. We've tried various permutations of pre and post domain member installation; and we've verified it occurs with Windows 8 as well. We suspect this happens when logging in as another user that's a member of the local Administrators group. Regardless, I'm really fucking tired of having to key in that long-ass-number into the phone. It's required when Microsoft flags this instance as having already been activated over the internet once before.
This! Regardless of any service industry, communication with the customer is first and foremost important. Understand their problem and/or request prior to implementing a solution. Keeping them in the loop is the best thing you can do out of respect for the customer and sanity of the person performing the work (mitigates finger pointing too).
FYI, communication to customer is still billable time as consultation so long as you're providing them "value". Only you and the client can quantify that however.
You wont need a regulatory push to IPv6. While yes, it would help considerably in terms of providing a unified industry focus, it may not be required at all in fact. So now you're waiting for the other shoe to drop, yes? Mobile phones. It will be the cellular industry that will push IPv6 as they're already using GGNAT anyways (which is why PPTP works half the time for air-cards due to GRE getting borked). Mobile phones already rely on cloud based applications and e-mail anyways. So it's trivial for the likes of Google, Microsoft, and Apple to implement IPv6 on their end anyways. I can only imagine China Telecom having a serious interest in getting deployed ASAP with an ever increasing mobile phone usage rate (thanks to their growing economy). Most major ISPs are already in an IPv6 deployment phase anyways, and consume WiFi routers are now being sold to support IPv6 too. So with the moment getting started, the adoption rate will explode with exponential growth.
i3 for low profile notebook users. i5 for desktops and laptops that use a docking station, and i7 if you're doing multi-media or other workstation class functionality (CAD, geophysics, etc).
For in office desktop computers such as a Dell OptiPlex 3010 or 7010 series, I recommend an i5 as anti-virus software and Windows Updates including.NET updates (trustedinstaller.exe and mscoree.dll) can take a substantial amount of processing power. Also, if you plan on backing up to the cloud or providing remote IT assistance (LMI, Team Viewer, VNC), there's some real-time compression going on that will chew through cycles as well. And lastly, software bloat. Throughout the life of these computers, they will be tapping into that i5 more often than they did when brand new.
I have yet to see a phone with a heatsink as big as the phone
Why not? Seriously. Why can't a phone chassis be made of aluminum be the heatsink at the same time? There have been a few silent computer cases that have done this using heat-pipes. No reasons the chassis can't be affixed to the CPU via a thermal pad. At the very least, it makes for a nifty hand warmer in the winter time (j/k).
Just you wait. Teaching and speaking about the American Revolution will be banned as these were acts of terror. Then, some leftist groups will demand American apologize to Great Britain so as to completely absolve ourselves of any past, present, and future ties to "terrorism". Oh, and freedom of speech was another mistake the American public will need to be re-educated on. And so on and so forth....
This has always been true. But it finally looks like the IT industry has matured to fully understand it's not about the solutions, but the results. IT people need to be more MBA oriented and last technical. And as BYOD devices and cloud based services become more predominate, there will be a need for less and less specialized hardware folks. And if you need them, you outsource the problem like you would a phone vendor.
The Palestinians would get more respect if it wasn't for the fact they launch rockets indiscriminately at Israelis. Taken to the extreme, it's like watching a war between Al Qaeda and the Nazi's (or like). Do we really want to be picking sides here? They both lie.
Honest to God statement: I had one latino gal in HR (not my company, at a client) tell me that recovery after one day was enough. She told me that with a straight face! I didn't even response to that. But I have to wonder; was there any truth to that after her sixth child?
Culture has a lot to do with the success of any system. America is a hodgepodge of cultures with two political parties that throw each other under the bus for political gain and status. The government programs set forth by either Norway or Sweden in America however would quickly turn into oppression and tyranny.
Moderate inflation is healthy so long as the GDP is growing too. It's preferable to deflation. But, inflation can turn into hyper-inflation in which it takes wheelbarrows of cash to purchase a loaf of bread. It wipes out peoples savings accounts and leaves those living off retirement as piss poor where an honorable death is preferable to begging on the side of the street with gums flapping.
It's a reminder that the money wasn't earned or created by you. Rather, you've temporarlily borrowed this wealth and must be taxed to remind you of that fact.
This is what you guys get when you vote for these tax and spend fuckers in office. US debt to GDP is now 105%! We've cross the event horizon. Down the death spiral we go. Annnnddd...Wwwweeeeeeeeeeeee!
Paris Hilton is a walking title to a shitpile of cash. She doesn't make the financial decisions, but rather the people around her. She could be completely comatose and a single fart could be interpreted as a directive to take action by said people around her. Fortunately such privileged people are rare in America, but they do make the biggest noise. That's because we all want to be just like her. Living the life with no limits and without fear of failure.
"Money doesn't buy happiness" is a bullshit saying. Money does buy security which makes you happy!
Well, at least the replacement coder will be in charge of fixing the hiring program. It can't possibly get any worse. See that man down the hall waiting jump aboard? Ya, his last job title was "Ice cream man". Perhaps he still has a few Pink Panther ice cream bars left...
The idea that anyone can design a 3D item as easily as drawing a picture in Microsoft Paint (or GIMP) is a fantasy that may never become a reality.
Who said anything about designing? It's not a requirement for most potential consumers. Cost aside (as that changes with volume and advancements in tech), all a home user would need is either a 3D handheld scanner, or ability to download the file and print the object. The uses are mainly utilitarian replacing the need to purchase any cheap Chinese plastic crap such as coat hangers, hooks, door stops, brackets, broom handles, or other such crap. Another use would be for children as an educational instrument. Being able to print dinosaurs bones, human bones, or other anatomically correct parts such as the brain, heart, eye, and ear for study. For the arts and craft world, the possibilities are endless. I know a few people that would use them to make moldings for green sand castings.
For an EvE movie to make it successful, it needs to focus on one aspect of the entire EvE universe leaving the viewer with more questions than answers. This is how you generate a cult following IMHO. It also leave the door wide open for other EvE movies either continuing or spawning an entirely new story in parallel. But above all, an EvE movie must *never* try and cater to the video gamer hoping they will generate enough hype to pull an expanded audience with them. It's bullshit and never works. Just about every if not all video games to movie sucks balls. Super Mario Brothers and Street fighter and Doom come to mind. God awful!!!
Ok then, just have them wear a fucking Looxcie and be done with it already. I'd rather be self-employed than work with someone looking over my shoulder at all times and badgering me on like a back seat driver. But in all seriousness, this might let management QC check the final results now and then for clients that have had a poor maintenance record. When there's a risk of losing a client, typically you want as many eyes as possible to validate the sources of contention between client and vendor. Secondly and most importantly, this can provide further on-the-job training and assess who's ready for advancement in job placement and who isn't fit for a particular job or skill.

Three truths argument? Our truth, their truth, and "the truth".

Oh ya, that's pretty fucking costly when you factor in all the servers it eats.
...and what do they taste like?

It takes money to make money. The ROI is higher the more you spend.

Oh fuck that! He needs an Ironman suit. Would fit his bloated ego well.
