Except it has nothing to do with that, journalists should strive to not use buzzwords and jargon as the editor pointed out in his memo. It's about proper writing.
I didn't say that there was anything wrong with it.
It's just not the image I would personally be comfortable with establishing knowing how people are. That's not to say the same exact services wouldn't be offered just how they are being marketed. Starting to see what I'm getting at?
If its the site I'm thinking of its really no surprise, I heard a commercial on the radio and found myself wondering if it was a site for dating or prostitution.
I really wish I could find the audio to that commercial, I'm no prude, but it certainty wasn't an image I would choose for my company. It just kept going on and on about how this was THE site for cougars to fuck young men. (and they didn't sugar coat it with hookup, meet, etc, the purpose of using the site was to find older women who want to fuck)
Maybe because it does matter to a big part of this sites readership. Many people who read this site are developers, many write iPhone apps. Knowing that if they make something too politically charged will cause it to be rejected wasting the developers time.
Do you see why it might count as stuff that matters now?
All valid questions but in our case it doesn't really matter because due to an application we require we also have to run a virtual machine running windows on osx. So we have all those costs with both cases.
My costs for the apple workstations did not include all of those prices either, or the higher priced applications that are required to reach the same functionality as the windows counterpart.
(Before anyone jumps to any conclusions the application that made windows a requirement came pretty recently and the performance was the same with or without windows running.)
And your roommate will A) stop doing business because he can't use the files hes being asked to print or B) spend all his profit converting and re-working the artwork for whatever garbage he switches too...
I went around and around with them on the definition of a volume license. I felt that a volume license should apply to the application, not the OS its ran on. Especially considering they provide both a windows and a OSX key regardless of the version you told them you wanted.
Adobe disagrees and insists that if you have a volume license and install it on OSX and later replace the system with a windows machine your license is not valid for the windows machine.
I found this out when one of our OSX machines died and I was unable to revoke the key replacing the system with a more powerful windows box.
Our pre-press department used to run nothing but mac. Well one died so I replaced it with another apple.
We recently hired a new artist and needed to add a machine so I priced out a windows machine as well and checked to see if any of our existing staff would want to use the windows system. Most did (6 of 8); two wanted to stick with macs. So I moved the user who just got the new mac to the PC.
Total for the mac: $3100 (again, I had just paid this much to replace the failed one) Total for the PC: $950
The user is much happier because the system is much more responsive (than the other brand new mac) and works with the rest of the network correctly. (group policy, authentication, etc)
I'm hoping I can make this place Mac free as the rest need to be replaced.
When this type of discussion comes up I have this little analogy I like to use...
Office Worker : Computer:: Carpenter : Hammer
What would you do if you hired a carpenter that didn't know how to use their hammer? Or tried to use the hammer for everything? Or could use the hammer but despite seeing the claw end every time they used it were completely oblivious as to its use. I think the much larger problem is that people refuse to or have been so dumbed down that they cannot comprehend what they see, hear and read even if they take the time to actually see, hear or read something.
I can never really grasp the question the OP has asked. It's really simple, I have things I don't want anyone but my closest friends to know about me and some stuff that I don't want anyone to know. Can you guess what I do to prevent others from knowing about those things?
Is it really an invasion of your privacy that the people who run a website or cable company providing you network services to be able to figure out where their resources are being used? What portion of their resources are used? Did you catch that use of the word THEIR, these aren't YOUR resources being monitored so if the owner wants to monitor them, so be it. You are the one CHOOSING to use THEIR resources. When they begin monitoring the things that aren't being provided to you by them you will have a legitimate complaint about loosing your privacy.
Anyway, back to the question; How do I prevent people from knowing things about me that I do not want them to? I choose NOT to post those things online; just like in real life I don't tell everyone about these things.
PS: I watched 3 episodes of lost last night and will be viewing several sites including slashdot.
PPS: I will also share that I'll be visiting fark.com and continue not having a problem with them knowing I used some of their resources; I've also exorcised my right to give up a bit of privacy by letting you all know that though I was in no way obligated to since I will not be using any of YOUR resources in doing so.
I find this question to be extremely easy to answer. Whats worse is I only support 10 of them and come across things on a daily basis that I would never have to even think twice about answering if the same task can be accomplished in windows. The answer is they simply aren't ready for business so they don't market toward business.
Here's just one shining example: Accounting on Xerox copiers isn't correctly supported.
Whats your point? You have to provide your real identity to get the service anyway. This is about customer service and making sure joe sixpack's phone works when it leaves the store so that both verizon and google look good.
When you leave you can feel free to delete whatever account they setup for you and you can setup your MichaelSmith account.
Really? It wasn't until after this last update that you could block specific applications from showing up in your feeds.... well as far as I know because I was never able to find it in any previous version.
Click the hide link on an update from farmville or whatever annoyance you have and you now have the option to block all updates from that specific application. Makes it tons easier to see status updates....
I agree with the gp, its the change that people bitch about.
If you remember, way back games like donkey kong and pac man were pay to play at a nickle, dime, or quarter per play. When they moved to consoles they turned to buy once play forever. Now they are just reverting back to the old original model.;)
And I would say its because of those exact opposite reasons (the "i got mine" attitude) that we all pay individually and have to be 30k in debt just to begin getting our starting level work experience.
That quote just shows how completely stupid it was to say 90%.
The last sentence could be rewritten to: "For simplicities sake, we just assumed that 90% of people would pirate it since none of the methods we measured could actually be used to determine anything other than people who use the internet have an IP address."
Slashdot Mirror
Is there some kind of IT hierarchy you could point me to with descriptions of job duties for each?
I don't think it exists and half of the titles overlap with 90% of all the other titles.

No, not brushing/flossing would ruin your teeth.
Sugar is just a common scape goat for not taking proper care of your teeth.
The reason is that sugar doesn't rot your teeth. Surprised to hear that? Tooth decay is caused by acid-producing bacteria in your mouth that feast on carbohydrates, be it sugar from candy or starch from wholesome foods such as bread.
Nope, pointing out that you didn't realize business don't pay taxes. Tip: They pass that along to the consumer...
I either get paid more or the company pays more taxes.
Thats cute.
>Holland become the only country were Sony replaced the PSP with ANY dead pixel or subpixel.
Wonder how I got mine replaced when I got one with dead pixels here in the US... I don't think I'd go around saying they were the ONLY country...

They actually do care which OS you run.

don't forget most people still think computers run on magic.

erm, my experience was with verizon so I used them as an example, but i would imagine the same applies to tmobile, att, etc...

Damn, I was all set to prove you wrong. It seemed like Doom came out well before 93....
From wiki:
In gaming:
* Doom (series), a series of first-person shooter video games developed by id Software
o Doom (video game), the first installment, released in 1993
And I would say its because of those exact opposite reasons (the "i got mine" attitude) that we all pay individually and have to be 30k in debt just to begin getting our starting level work experience.
