WoW and similar games can indeed hone or help assess leadership skills.... but only with people who already play Wow. For newbies, the time to learn play the game and train up to a level where there are meaningful leadership and teaming aspects (raids) is largely wasted.
So you're saying that leaders and managers need to learn how to do the job first? Where were you when we had consultants in?
Some of that started when they got segment-by-segment ratings and found that fat sells. That's why they have at least one weight-loss story a week and often more. That and they've got 'stories' provided by people who also happen to advertise on the network.
The other biggie was that MySQL had a native Windows version early, so that any aspiring web dev could practice on WAMP and then move to hosting which was usually LAMP. The hosting providers also played their part. Combine that with a lot of literature on MySQL, PHP etc. and you have the reason it succeeded for so long.
Trend Micro bundles it with some of their gateways. Nortel uses it in its Telephony Manager. I've seen it bundled with other systems. It's taken off with the native Windows build.
There are things in licenses that are just made to cause trouble.
For example, Windows Server licenses are tied to a specific piece of hardware. You have to have enough licenses for every virtual Windows server on each host in an ESX cluster. The maximum number that will ever exist on one box multiplied by the number of boxes. There are other options like Datacenter, where you just have to count the chips, not the cores.
Going the other way, if anyone were silly enough to run Linux on Server 2008, they'd need Windows CALs for the Linux users too. Companies used to have to have a second license if they wanted to use their own image of a machine they bought with OEM Windows on it. They still might.
Another fun one, you can't buy an OEM copy of Windows 7 for your own use. You have to install it on a machine and sell it to someone else. If you keep it, you've violated the license.
As soon as I saw 'License Engineers,' I knew things had gone too far.
Even better, they give you some type of 'More information' button and even it doesn't have the magic numbers. Hide it, but let me see it if I need it. It's kind of like the descriptions they give with updates: 'this update corrects a problem with Windows.' No, really?
It was useful in 95/NT4, but XP on have it as a standard option. It's under 'Advanced' in the Start Menu properties. 'Display as Menu' under Control Panel.
if you dont have a abn dont bother trying to get an.au domain unless you want a id.au domain also it costs almost 4 times the cost of a.com domain
ACN or BRN, actually. Some people can't get a.com.au but can get an ABN. (Sole traders?) Maybe the rules have changed since I last looked. Personally, I want Elz back. He had rules and they were followed. Naturally, he had to go.
No, the pan is a specific physical object. It's much better to patent the method of use. That way you can get people using any kind of kitchen utensil.

The business card would be cool: 'Corporate Dungeon Master.' Probably harder to explain than Systems Administrator.
Try Scroll Lock in Excel some time.
It didn't just pause the output like Ctrl-S did, it paused the whole machine. Great fun.
And how do they select the book in the first place? You do know that they can put more than one book on a Kindle, right?
How do they feel their way to the book they want? Navigation isn't just turning pages.
Speaking of version numbers, What's the version number for '7?' Mine says it's 6.1. I think I'll wait for 7.0 to be released.
Sure they did. This replaced it.

They usually are for major versions like 5.0 (2000) and 5.1 (XP) Most of the stuff is in the same place in 6.0 (Vista) and 6.1 (7, WTF?)

lose/loose.
Sorry, it's a lose/loose situation. :)
Thanks, couldn't find it easily this morning.

If they're in the middle of nowhere, the failure modes are a lot less severe too. Critical failure, the tower falls over.
Someone failed physics, but applied for a patent anyway.
Of course, the people who pass have seen the prior art.
Lorena Bobbit had a penis. but threw it away.
Why the pointless redirect? This works just as well and doesn't look like goatse bait.

Yeah, we're going up to 38 on Sunday and it's going to be a hot, dry summer. Goodbye, lawn.
I guarantee they'll be there for hours ignoring the hi-tech and working out the significance of the frying pan.
