Last time I checked, It was illegal to bring cocaine into the country. Obviously it's still getting through. Its impossible to stop it completely so a to pronged approach is completely justified. If a kid or a grandmother is using/selling cocaine, then they should be arrested. The law does not only apply to 18-64 year olds. (or in the case of most drug using grandmothers, 18-32)
Because in that case, fords negligence caused PHYSICAL injury or death. Do you honestly think a Judge would hold Ford negligent for using cheap locks that allowed somebody to break into your car and steal your wallet?
Its your own damn fault for not securing your own property.
"When you RDP to a terminal server you run the risk of that terminal servers dying and thus lossing your data and settings in the process."
This where the extra functionality of Citrix comes in. You can create a redundant loadbalanced farm. If a users loses a connection or one of the servers goes down, when the reconnect their user state is still intact. We use this for hosting our apps out to remote clients.
I'm picturing something more akin to VMware. Each public terminal has virtual machine software installed, perhaps as part of the OS. When you log in it grabs your VM hard drive image from a central store. In that case, there is no reason you couldn't have any OS you want and the applications installed in your VM would be licensed to you directly.
Of course, I too say these guys are a little late. It almost sounds like they copied vmware. Even their "newly developed" "Rollback" function sounds suspiciously like VMware's "Snapshot" mode, which has been around for a while.
I don't think it takes a wealthy benefactor to drink a cup of starbucks coffee. After all, that's cheaper then a pack of cigarettes, and that has never stopped people (predominantly lower income) from smoking.
Hey Smart ass, its attitudes like this that scare off a linux noob. Of course I could run circles around you in a google search, or a linux install. But try and find a review between fc2 mdk10 and suse 9.1 in detail on google
No, I'm not interested in a review between suse 9 and fc2, nor mandrake 10 ad redhat 9. I was looking for this exact comparison and I was looking for a random anecdote of of google, but actual side by side comparison.
If that not self sufficient enough for you I ended up installing all 3 and running my own comaprison, but unfortunately I was hoping to avoid that as I have a life outside of work.
I believe this is known as the grey market. Various courts have upheld and dismissed claims against grey marketers, so I guess the question is do you want to have to spend all your profit on lawyers defending against Microsoft's Claim, regardless of whether you win in the end? Or god forbid, Lose?
I agree, in fact I do much of the same, although I will argue that there is still life left in the client\server model, and the rush to bring everything to a browser interface is not the end all answer for everything.
My comment was to point out the inability of the OP to grasp what exactly most companies use on a regular basis by wagering that 90% percent of the workers just needed Word, email, excel etc.
As you well know, many companies have large amounts of proprietary apps that just won't work in Linux. Sure they can be rewritten or replaced, but that's exactly the kind of work that will take the majority of the migration time.
It's not as easy as replacing some secretaries Windows box with a Linux box loaded with OpenOffice and firefox.
Under a Windows 2000 you can make sure all their files are stored in one location (Documents and settings), and ensure that all those "home" directory's are stored on a central set of redundant servers.
Isnightful? Maybe for someone who doesn't have a clue about all the stupid little (or big) programs that individual departments within a organization use.
Most employees, especially in a government bureacracy don't use just excel, word , browser and an email. They also use a (usually) proprietary paypoll program, groupware, multiple human resource apps, purchasing, inventory and asset tracking, financial forecasting, a little bit of this, little bit of that.
These specialized programs are a big reason that Linux will face an uphill battle on the desktop in the corporate market.
I guess I should have read the article, but also remember that this is in the Peoples Republic of Oregon, where gas may only be pumped by trained "professionals" not the end user. Now I know that your average pump jockey is not going to win any MIT Scholarships, but the odds that many different gas station attendants all forgot to tighten the cap all the way over such a short period of time is highly unlikely and if this women had a whiff of sense she would have objected a bit more strenously.
Furthermore the Kia dealership would either have noticed that its the same problem over and over and realized somethings wrong or somebodies embellishing the story with how many times she took it in.
Something doesn't sound right with this story. Disregarding the fact that you'd have to be an idiot to pay 1440 dollars to have the same thing done to your car in under 2 years, Kia has been offering 10 years (5 years powertrain) warranties on their cars for since at least that long. This kind of thing would have been covered under warranty.
The mechanic is either ripping her off, or I call bullshit.
Heres an interesting quote from the Economist on Britains crime rate here as well.
"BRITAIN may have slipped down many world league tables over the past few decades, but it beats all other rich countries except Australia in one activity: crime. According to a new victimisation survey of industrialised nations, people in England and Wales are at greater risk than anywhere else of having a car stolen. And apart from Australia, people who live in England and Wales are at greater risk of being assaulted, robbed, sexually attacked and having their homes burgled than are people in any other rich country."
While I have yet to hit the 10 minute mark, if you don't choose all the extra fonts, and printer drivers, the OS X install is surprising zippy. On both my 12 inch powerbook and 15 inch i can do a nuke and pave in about 15 to 20 minutes. That sure as hell beats my XP box's 45 minute install times. My Suse Box is sitting here reinstalling now and its pushing an hour, but then that's with almost everything.
Correction, YOU can't do this, but those of us who have mastered the use of our opposable thumb have no problem.
Having said that, I found the lack of a second button on the powerbook very frustrating, for about 2 hours until I mastered the art of ctrl-click. There's that darn opposable thumb again.
Sorry but I know the POS systems we buy, which are generally a integrated unit with 15 inch flat screen, magnetic swipe reader, 700 mhz (yes 700 mhz) 40 gig hard drive and 256 megs ram, with Windows 2000, cost, depending on the vendor we're using at the time range between 2200 and and 2800. And thats before we slap our custom app on it.
Except that you are only installing it once, and then time slicing between it. I could see this a s a novel way to cut back on our Microsoft Licensing fee's For example our accounting department doesn't need a fast computer, but if we could rreduce the number of pc's from 100 to fifty, thats a heck of alot of costs savings for a mid size company.
50 license for windows instead of 100
50 license of office instead of 100
50 Server CAL's instead of 100
Hmm, how much do these cost?
The retarded do not understand that in the context of IT systems, CIO definitely refers to Chief Information Officers, In fact until this discussion, I have never heard of a CHief Investment officer.
Heres another non-link for you. (Because I'm too lazy to proeprly tag it.)
http://www.google.com/search?q=define:CIO
Also the article was published by CIO magazine, which, if you read the magazine, tells you:
"CIO and CIO.com are published by CXO Media Inc. to meet the needs of CIOs (Chief Information Officers) and other information executives. CIO is read by more than 140,000 CIOs and senior executives who oversee annual IT budgets in excess of $175 million. CIO.com served over 100 million pages during over 10 million user sessions in 2003, and is visited by close to 500,000 unique vistor each month."
Actually CIO stands for Chief Information Officer.
The CIO is usually (in simple terms) in charge of How the company uses IT to accomplish its mission. There is often confusion between the terms CTO and CIO and some companies use them interchangably. However I believe the the correct definition of a CTO oversees technology that the company creates.
In fewest words possible, , A CTO overs creation of tech, a CTO consumes Tech.
Of course maybe this can clear it up more:
