Just to add my $0.02, I have heard of bad things happening with VSS, but if it's just you then you probably won't have those problems.
The Vault is a decent product, and it can run on SQL Server OR MSDE which is a free download. If you're only using it for yourself the Vault is free as well.
Free is much better than the arm + leg charged for VSS.
For any dotters in ATL, IBM Global Services operates the e-commerce wing of the BellSouth building downtown. That was a nice transition.
You used (2003) to be able to call the security desk and say, "Hi, I'm a big bad nerd and I want to see my servers." Show up 20 mins later, they were ready for you.
Nowadays, you call, get transferred to Bangalore, tell them when you want to be there, show up, and get blank stares from security.
It's not as bad there, since the tech market had some time to swallow up these ex-IBMers. There's some technical skill in the city otherwise known for Del Boca Vista Phase II.
When I lived in Pittsburgh one of my friends became a salesman for green mountain energy (or some hippie company).
(Side note, in PA electricity is deregulated. There is a monopoly on the wires DUH, but you can buy energy from whomever you please.)
The was it works is you pick what percent of your energy you want to come from clean or semi-clean sources (methane, wind, solar, hydro). They had a few tiers from 5% to 50%. You paid more for greener energy. From there they contract with the green suppliers to buy x MW/monthly based on their customers decisions. Do I get the green electricity instead of coal? No. Am I supporting green energy and decreasing the demand for dirty energy. Yes. Let the market do the work. Like everyone else said, it's just energy potential.
Your arguments are pretty valid for a TA who is trying to grade Java II homework assignemnts. But for people writing business systems there are some benefits.
Extra code == extra bloat- In the business world we call this CYA. You write the tests, they run green. If something breaks, you didn't write crappy code.
Too much documentation- Does anybody have this problem? I wish every system I touched had too much documentation
Unit tests are written with no extra skill than the code they test- You bring up an intersting point here, and you are correct. For systems doing something novel or complicated, having the dev write the test makes no sense. However, most of the apps out here connect back to a CRM db, or fire off an email when something is done.... super boring stuff. A competent developer already has an understanding of these things and is more than capable of writing a test.
anywho, your students are going to end up as PHBs & the rest of us would appreciate it if you didn't turn them off to testing before unleashing them onto the working world. Thanks.

You can also use amavisd. In addition to running your mail through spamassassin, this approach also lets you throw a virus scanner into the mix.
cryptology- cool, but not engrossing- ohh a number sequence
story-telling: shit bad
The book reels you right in, and I was ripping through it to see how it ended. Now that I know, I must give you this advice. Stop reading before the last 20 pages. The ending is horrible. Like Matrix 2 horrible (Yeah I said it)
I've used the.NET CF for a project, and let me tell you, the last thing we wanted to do was add a mini SQL server to our application.
If your handheld app isn't doing heavy lifting, why not a web service? Send the records you need on the fly.
That's a lot easier than going through the rigamraole of synching your MSSQL Lite to a real sql server, and it doesn't expose your SQL server port (which might be a big deal if you don't trust MS patches to work correctly the first time.:0
The first month I paid AT&T with automatic bill pay from my bank they said they didn't recieve payment.
I checked my bill pay records, of course they sent it. I called AT&T, they said I had to fax copies of the payment confirmation, date, amount.... They acted like I was lying.
I go jumping through their hoops. In the middle, my cable flicks back on. I guess they saw that I did pay after all. I called back just to clear everything up. Then the customer "service" people acted like I was calling to be a nuisance. Yeah, I call customer service to be put on hold every month just to make sure everything is working.
As some people have already pointed out, Access does mangle SQL, and I don't believe it is fully SQL-92 compliant. Teaching the student with this is teaching them to suckle at ms' teat.
I think you should use Access to compare and contrast. Compare Oracle to Access. Have the students explain why Access is not an ACID db. Let them write sql in notepad. When it comes time for them to get a job writing VBA for access, they'll be more than qualified to use query builder.

until the autonomous vehicle wins the race and runs over your team as it celebrates. Of course, it would be no loss for these schools.

The only team worth saving wouldn't have this problem anyhow, seeing as they qualified.
Not that I have a favorite.
