I was wondering if this isn't a good thing. Finally some corporate has forced the Indonesian Govt to admit to being crooks. Although I agree completely with many of the posters here, that the preposterous statement attempting to justify the use of priated software is rediculous, I can also see that as long as their Govt. continues to make statements like this, they are shooting themselves in the foot.
The latest version of IE (for XP) includes pop-up blocking. Perhaps you should upgrade your IE version as often as you have upgraded your FireFix version.
Did you ever think that may have been becuase those children did not yet have Social Security Numbers ?
My children didn't at that time, and lo-and-behold, that year I couldn't claim them either, but the following year, after receiving SSNs for them, they were right back on as dependants.
And I didn't bother to file an ammendment, too much hastle for too little return (excuse the pun)
Shouldn't you be more concerned about what type of education your children are getting, rather than what bug-riddled, dumbed-down, end-user application they are using ?
My aspirations for my child definitely do NOT include such trivialities as the ability to make a PowerPoint slide-show, or construct a Word document with an automatically generated table of contents and the use of Tahoma font !
I hope my child is able to aquire the education and learning skills which would make such mundane trivialities as learning the few basic steps necessary to link an Excel spreadsheet to an Access database and have it generate a graph nothing more than minor inconvenience !
You want your child to be trained rather than educated ?
I would rather my children spend less time being trained in the use MS Office products, and more time being educated in the subjects of math science, literature, art, history, and citizenship.
What I'd really like to see is ALL computer 'training' to be removed from the curriculum until say year 10 or so. Even then I would rather that my child learn to type than how to make a Powerpoint presentation.
I want them to be net contributors to society, not some management consultant working for Accenture, ripping the tax payer off, and producing nothing more than stacks of paper !
Surely it depends upon which 2% is replaced. If it's the most dense 2% being replaced with a substance that is significantly less dense, then I suppose it is possible.,b.I agree though, unless these guys are using a concrete mix comprised of something other than cement, sharp sand and gravel, I find it hard to understand myself
I'll have to go demand my money back from the power company, I am sure they told me that the redundant power supply system that was installed at great expense within my building was as close to failure proof as possible. But hey, maybe they lied to me, do you have a better solution than that ?.
Are you trying to say that USB devices are not hot-swappable, strange, I can plug and un-plug my USB drive and it always seems to work fine
I can tell you've never had to actually manage a real server
Actually my main function is monitoring Server Hardware, but that is hadly significant. OK, point by point, since you are so curious:
Does your workstation offer redundent power-supplies? Redundant power is supplied to my power outlet, the PC doesn't need any additional hardware for this.
Hot-swapable components? Yes, actually, ALL USB Based devices are hot-swappable.
64bit PCI slots? no, but then I don't see too many 64 bit components yet either.
Can it be remote booted? Yep, sure can.
What chipset and motherboard does it use Irrelevant
;
server oriented chipsets are generally tuned to server tasks (Which are generally I/O and memory bound, rather than CPU bound) Dude, my CPU is idle 99% of the time, it almost always is waiting for either the disk or the network or the keyboard, just like every computer out there.
Whats the cooling like?fine, thanks for asking
What monitoring and reporting functions does it provide? Like most modern hardware it has a health chip and has been configured to use SNMP, after all it is on a corporate lan, and that's just plain sensible
Is it rack mountable?No, but that's just the box, not the computer inside.
What memory does it have; is it checked and certified? How much memory can it take? Servers generally take GBs of memory; most desktops either don't have the DIMM slots or don't have the BIOS support for a fully populated 4GB, let alone enough slots to make use PAE on 32bit CPU's. Actually it runs ECC RAM, and is currently configured with 2 Gig. That's quite a lot for a workstation, but yes, it can hold 4 Gig.
What NICs does it have? Gigabit? Dual Gigibit? Fibre? Well, no, it doesn't handle fibre, but that is immaterial, it's just a different kind of card after all. It is on a Gigabit LAN though if that helps.
So you see, in almost every respect, my 'workstation' is a 'server' except that I don't use it as one.
P.S. have a look at the specs for the Dell Precision 6700 'workstation' - not the machine I have, but it sure looks like a 'server' according to you.
