Technology allows an even greater ability to micromanage; but does not necessarily imply micromanagement. Faster communications technology can make it possible for the logistics elements to shift behind the scene to better support the front line. Equally well, better technology can give the front line information to modify their plans/actions to prepare for the consequences of out-of-theater actions which will have a definitive impact.
Micromanagement is a meme attached to people -- not technology.
...the problem down to a pair of switches...I fully believe the switches in that cabinet are still sitting there attempting to send 20Gbit/sec of traffic out trying to do something â" I just don't know what yet.
Is it possible the duplicate article generator tried to spawn, became entangled in its own potential well of duplicity, and now is trapped like two Lisp programmers deep inside their parenthesis?
After 2 years, I just filled a Jr Linux admin position. Of the hundreds of resumes, most applicants did not even read the posted job requirements. A couple of the more persistent applicants begged to be hired; and they promised to allow me to teach them Linux. Of the interviewed applicants, most could not solve a simple problem -- they asked for hints, lists of possible solutions from which to choose, or shrugged their shoulders as if abandoning the problem was commonplace and acceptable.
Complacency is the rot from within; and, unfortunately, complacency is rampant.
My mother always knew what I had done without anyone telling her. Or whatever I was going to do before I took action. I hear other mothers have the same ability. Therefore, all mothers must exist in some state of constant quantum communication with each other.
Perhaps if you replied not as an AC but an individual, we could have a meaningful discussion based upon each person's experiences.
I have worked in both private and public sectors for more than a decade each. I do not agree with your summary of my statement; and reject the premise.
Yes, the private sector contains its share of sluggish, petty, fools. But most fail to rise to a position of effective power.
And the public sector does contain some dynamic individuals. But the daily head-into-wall routine of entrenched policy which cannot be immediately superceded by an executive can make a person sluggish and selfish over time.
SMARTnet contracts in perpetuity for everyone provided by the US Government!
Does not matter who is chosen: the industry guy will tire of the endless petty bureaucrats and quit in 18 months. Then we get the government lacky anyway; and, we get free technology for everyone.
"To remove all this malware from your system will require a multipass disk wipe. We will let this run overnight"
"Before we can dispose of your old laptop/PC/foo, a multipass wipe must be run on the HDD. We will let this run overnight." (user leaves) Bring me the toolkit so we can take all the RAM out and put it in [annoying user's] system which he refuses to replace.
"Before we throw this broken HDD away, a multipass wipe must be run. We will let this run overnight". (user leaves) Bring me the toolkit so I can take out the magnets.
Revolution can come from inside the system as well as outside. Run for office and show us how willing you are to really work for the solution. I'll vote for you. You don't seem any more competent than the current group; and you have the right attitude.
You have to remember there used to be more Time Lords in the universe. Now with fewer Time Lords, in order for the number of regenerations to remain constant, The Dr must regenerate more often. Otherwise, we could see a localized destabilization with the accumulated regeneration energies normally expended.
Hear, hear! If TWC really wants to survive, act like a company which is interested in providing innovative service to customers at a competitive price. Instead of a regulated bureaucracy doing the very least to meet the minimum FCC regulations.
Datamine all that data on your customers and use your brains instead of brute forcing solutions. (Please don't tell me you need an example)
Instead of offering only the most meager, technically inadequate equipment on monthly fees, create partnerships with multiple equipment companies. Set terms accordingly: basic equipment TWC will service as part of the contract, more complicated equipment can have a more expensive contract, and/or provide/sponsor a DIY wiki for us gearheads.
Stop thinking the way the US government regulators want you to think. Stand up and engage the FCC in "constructive criticism"; they could use it. Lobbyists may be cheaper -- and you get what you pay for. Work with local governments on better methods for delivering last mile connections; stop acting like a monomaniacal monopoly.
Changing of the guard is more ordered and civilized than just about any government function in the USA. If we take enough pictures, we might learn eventually.
(scene FILLS with people, 200-300, all dressed in various profession/regional/ethnic attire): *in unison* We, are Ubuntu.
With a minor change. Rather than statically standing there announcing who they are, the crowd should be active: riding a unicycle, one guy in chains doing a Houdini act, another person building a hot rod, a person painting an abstract portrait, etc. Rather than speaking in unison, they should all say something different but crescendo with the final word Linux in unison.
Does the accounting dept really need PC's with 4GB of ram and two dual core procs? Can't they do their work on Athlons or P4's loaded with a decent amount of RAM?
No and no. But the Security Dept can force load enough software to make any but the latest dual-core processor/SATA drive PC worthless to use. Ever seen a Windows box with a 1.8Ghz P4 and 512MB of RAM try to load McAfee Enterprise on boot? Especially after about 18 months of all Windows updates have been forced onto the system?
I expect we will all require multicore personal systems in the future. One core for internal system security, one core for network (external security), one core for user applications, and one spare core for peak load assistance to the other cores.

You place some absorbent material over the end of the tubes and apply some extremely high voltage thru the third gate.
In Soviet Russia, Phantom does not save state from harm; only presents good image.

That statement generated a laptop wash using my favorite beverage! Wish I had mod points.
Carly has a twin?
I doubt he will buy a book. Might be better to provide some easy clicky things with pretty pictures to keep him entertained.

The multi-pass wipe myth is quite useful.

Khan we possibly get a genetically superior engineered planet of wrath? And the females would all be strong, beautiful, and deadly.
I think that statement would be sexier if spoken in the original binary.
You mean he regurgitates the same material and then laps it back up after the audience has had a reaction?

Ray, love your work. But NoScript was blocking 4 scripts on that pdf link. Does ABP and NoScript hurt your revenue projections for ads? Just curious.

Or process servers....
No and no. But the Security Dept can force load enough software to make any but the latest dual-core processor/SATA drive PC worthless to use.

Take a little from every one. Then promise you can deliver in whatever language your prospective future employer wants.
