That's all well and good. However, you don't want the local city/state funding said local press/paper. Conflict of interest and all that. Would you trust them if there was a financial connection? Political connections are bad enough with the press, but understandably unavoidable. Don't make it worse.
Yes, networks span over fiber optic. But to power the junction points that light up the fiber and distribute over coax and twisted pair is a big problem in many 3rd world nations. Reason being copper theft. It's big deal. It's a big deal here in the US too. But don't expect to sink a large investment into a nation if said investment can't be reasonably protected. South Africa comes to mind.
Squirrels. They used to zig-zag back and forth (can't make up their mind) and get crushed. Now, they either wait patiently or bolt across the road when everything looked all in the clear.
But yes, it would seem the indecisive critters got weeded out.
That's interesting, because I always though Intelligent Design was just a way for creationists to rationalize scientific observable facts.
Honestly, I believe in God and that he has an influence on our Universe. But even I understand that there's a separation between scientific facts, and faith. I wish more people would understand that as well.
I've used OpenDNS before for content filtering. Works well. Just keep in mind that if this is a Windows network you're administrating, you will want to use a GPO that locks in DNS settings (option will be greyed out for users looking to modify local TCP/IP setting). If you're running Vista, Windows 7, or 8, you can further restrict access to the Hosts file for users that are a member of the Local Administrators group.
Powershell and Bash scripting is no where near the same league as C++ and ASM. Just what in the hell was your point above and beyond the one I made previously. Your response wasn't even worth the electrons it took to publish on Slashdot. Seriously, why did you even bother? Troll much?!
Scripting involves simplifying or automating a process using pre-existing functions in whatever software you're scripting against. Programming involves creating new functions where previously such a module or action did not exist in the first place. In other words: One involves creating limited functionality with the elements given to you. The other is creating whole new elements from the ground up.
At the end of the day, both the Windows and Linux admin may have to contact the vendor if said functionality is missing. If you hit a brick wall, either you change how you conduct business with said software, or find another vendor. A third option may include building a whole new program in-house with software devs.
I'm going to Godwin this thread. So I apologize in advance. I'm sorry, but intellectually Saul Alinsky is the worst of the worst. He blows Adolf Hitler out of the waters on a ranking of vile putrid evil. I'm convinced this man, Alinsky was an incarnate of Lucifer himself. A real anti-Christ. Words can not subscribe how his world-view is a destroyer of everything men have fought so hard for to maintain and perpetuate civility; however little of there is in this world. Alinsky takes hold of whats available and crushes everything about it!
China will dare not negotiate with N.Korea now. They think they have political leverage until the moment Un tells them to fuck off. That when the political blame game and infighting starts inside the CCP. The last thing China wants to expose is anything short of political unity within the rank and file.
Old Yeller has now gone full rabid and foaming at the mouth. Someone has to put that dog down. Either it will be China, or the US. But someone must pickup the gun and finish the job.
As I know, programmers and Linux admins cost twice to three times as much as their Windows admin counterpart. However, OSS is free.
Can anyone that's an IT director please clarify the gap, skillset, and possible configuring a network so complicated as to solidify job security for said admins? Which costs more and can deliver the most value? On that front, which set of admins is likely to engage in such dishonest practices? Or is it a out the same for both sets of admins?
And yes, there are many Windows/Linux admins that can do both with an indepth skillset and experience, but they command a premium salary as I know.
My iPad2 suffers the same problem. The URL bar will get burned into the screen. Eventually it will fade away, but it's real annoying. I'm not sure it has anything to do with the fact these MacBooks are Retina based. If anything, it's the formulation and process they are using to make the screens.
For most Chinese, that's an expensive router! $160 bucks vs a TP-Link cheapie going for 20$ these days? If there's one thing I've learned about people in general: There's what you ought to do vs. what's the cheapest damn thing I can buy to get me up and running.
Because said vendors are the one that have to provide post sales support. I suppose they could fork Open or DDWRT (if even possible, I haven't checked) and go their own way. It's basically the same argument for why you don't see Linux desktops on the show room floor at your local B&M store.
Actually, there are a lot of TP-Link routers in China. Which means that there could be a lot internal Chinese to Chinese hacking and DOS attacks going on. I think the local ISPs use ZTE branded devices, but again, TP-Link are the cheapies found all over the place and thus easy to get.
It's not tricky at all. This is a failure of communication, not a technical issue. The proper way of scheduling reboots is to let management know there will be scheduled downtime for security reasons (applying security updates and maintenance). Let them know days or weeks in advanced followed by another notification 24 hours later as a friendly (but unwavering stern authority) that the servers WILL be rebooted regardless. For those that lost data, sorry. One person should not hold up the entire company. If said person out ranks you, have a frank and reasonable discussion with them as to why this is an important task. Oddly enough, your job becomes easier if the servers are Windows based. That's because you know update Tuesday will require reboots once a month. Schedule accordingly and with consistency and the rest of the employees will accept this behavior as "normal" and thus expected.
Capacitors. Because the electrolytics do dry out over time and thus drift out of spec. This leads to all sorts of components including the ICs malfunctioning.
Actually, because of how valuable of an employee he was, he got a shiny new IBM Thinkpad with the latest Pentium III, RAM, HDD space, and DVD playback. The whole nine yards. I didn't care one way or the other honestly. My boss said the funds were approved from accounting and off it got ordered. Meh. Whatever.
Favorite IT story: So back in 1999, a traveling sales engineer drops his laptop off at my desk in a huff stating "it's broken, damn screen broke". Looking at the screen, it looks like something fell on the LCD screen and cracked it in three places. Oh, something fell on it alright. His fist! The angle and placement of three knuckles lined up perfectly with a right hand punch. My shock and dismay quickly followed by laughter. Ya right, broken my ass! It sure is now tough guy.
France has an immigration problem compounded by a relatively high unemployment rate of 10%. I put the blame on their affection for socialism, but that's their choice after all. But what say you? Why do you think employment is high when each person works fewer hours compared to their American counterpart?
At least they're not like Spain that clocks in at 26% unemployment. That's really bad!!!

It's "mini - San Francisco".
God is the Alpha and the Omega. Understanding that, there never was a "before God" and "who created God" premise.

Depends. Does he plan on making grilled cheese sandwiches?
Yes. And until we make first contact with any intelligent alien species, who cares?!

Why follow when you can lead? Fork Linux (yet again) and create the Holy distro. Though I'm sure that will fork just as often as the church.
If you're going to throw gasoline on the fire, do it right.
