  1. Re:In small scale.. on Ask Slashdot: New Employee System Access Tracking? · · Score: 1

    No reason why the same form couldn't be used for when the user is leaving.
    Gives nice ticked boxes which indicate each system where accounts need to be closed.
    Passwords should expire automatically every 30-60 days regardless the user is leaving or not.
    Rehires or department change? Just refill the form on another sheet to match the new position.

  2. In small scale.. on Ask Slashdot: New Employee System Access Tracking? · · Score: 1

    For small scale implementation: Excel.

    One excel per employee.
    HR fills sheet which contains tick boxes for existing systems and sends filled form to IT.
    IT opens accounts for that user per selection.
    HR didn't file the form? No accounts.
    HR missed certain box? Speak with manager and request access using normal request policies.

  3. Re:A country sized face palm event. on Finland Considers Minimum Income To Reform Welfare System · · Score: 1

    There is trash that needs to be picked up on the side of the road and public toilets everywhere that need to be scrubbed.

    You're not allowed to collect trash from roadside in Finland. That requires a 2-day training for roadside safety pass which costs ~150€. Sad part is, I'm not joking.
    Cleaning toilets requires a hygienie pass, for which training takes 1 week and costs ~500.

    What's killing Finland is stupid bureucracy like described above, and basic income would eliminate a portion of such, just from different branch of governments.

  4. Re:im sure the meeting was interesting on Microsoft Officially Releases Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 · · Score: 1

    they reduced prices on visual studio.

    Actually, they raised the price.
    Professional retail without MSDN is now gone, so say goodbye to the $299 non-msdn upgrade version. This was the most used edition for companies needing software development tools but not being software-only houses.

    Express edition? Gone. The community edition gives some leeway, but most of those companies won't be able to use it since they have turnover beyond $1mil. Meaning, no more free development for .NET 4.6 with visual studio .

  6. Re:So on Spotify Raises $526 Million As Apple Charges Into Streaming · · Score: 1

    Well, spotify works on android, windows phone, iphone, and has browser-based client too.
    They also provide sdk for subscribers so you can write your own player if you want.

    Itunes, it's probably one of the worst applications I've used. Platform support? One, more perhaps later..
    Sdk so you can write your owwn app? Yeah no.
    From technical standpoint, apple is hopelessly late to the game.
    They could compete by undercutting pricing but this is apple we're talking about, profit before anything else.

    I think I'll keep my spotify subscription for now.

  7. Re:Has anyone done dist-upgrade yet? on Debian 8 Jessie Released · · Score: 1

    Skimmed the notes and ran upgrade.
    After rebooting was greeted with nice grub rescue> file not found and grub_divmod64 symbol errors when trying to insmod normal.

    Some searching around ended up telling me the installer only runs grub-install on disk 1 of the RAID1 config, so off to bios to change boot order of the HDDs and reboot got be back up and running.

    Anything special to note here or is it safe to just run dist-upgrade from 7 and try if it boots?

    We're replacing systemd with systemVBd, it'll be vastly superior with its familiar basic syntax.

  11. Re:finger pointing on Millennial Tech Workers Losing Ground In US · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Finnish education system has been fucked for past 10 years already.
    Teaching has become female-only profession and only people who are accepted to study to be teachers here are straight-a geeks(the bad kind) who lack the proper authority in front of the class.
    There is/were large number of good class teachers in the post-war generations, but those people are now/soon retiring.
    The trade union of teachers, AKAVA is well known joke in the union field and isn't strong enough to actually do anything that matters to improve things.

  13. Re:I fail to see how this is a bad thing on Finland's Education System Supersedes "Subjects" With "Topics" · · Score: 1

    Economics, geography, and history are intertwined and dependent on eachother.

    Correct.

    . Knowing the physics of trebuchets offers no further insight into history.

    False, you're now missing the entire point of topical subjects, the core of what the whole thing is about!
    You need to think it like a mind map, get facts/ideas and link them with relations.
    Maybe the examples were bad, but I was approaching the issue from the side of linking physics and math to another topic.

  14. Re:I fail to see how this is a bad thing on Finland's Education System Supersedes "Subjects" With "Topics" · · Score: 1

    Read about medieval times and calculate how trebuchet works? Read about ming dynasty and learn how guns and gunpowder work? Read about space race and get to ballistics and orbits? History and math/physics are intertwined rather well I'd say.

  17. give it 10 years on How Long Will It Take Streaming To Dominate the Music Business? · · Score: 1

    The industry will change eventually once enough momentum will be gained towards the streaming,, Currently it's taking probably something like 30-40% of sales and still not enough to convert the old physical-format-only people to the streaming age. No single change is instantaneous, it'll take time to catch on..

    I have this great APP!
    It allows everyone to be a doctor and you can order an operation with simple click of a button and even pay for the surgery with it!
    Who cares if that person is certified doctor, that's just bad government regulation! BOO!

    The problem I see with Uber is taxes and fees. As the financial side is completely handled via the app, how can I be sure that the company running Uber actually covers the mandatory employee fees for the driver and pays the taxes required by the local government?

    I narrowed your list down but in most of the cities you list, English isn't actually the official language, it's spoken by convenience by majority of people, not because it's government mandated.

  21. Write it down on Ask Slashdot: Convincing My Company To Stop Using Passwords? · · Score: 2

    I would encourage users to write down their password on a piece of paper.
    That paper should contain only the password, no hint to what it belongs to.
    The paper will then be stored inside the persons wallet, and looked at when neccessary, but not taken out.
    If that person manages to loose their wallet, they have bigger problems than the company password.

  22. Exams are bullshit on The Students Who Feel They Have the Right To Cheat · · Score: 1

    Exams generally try to determine how you have memorized some subject, not how you can adapt what you've learned.
    By cheating on exams you're basically fooling yourself.
    The point of education is to give you some stepping stone to each subject and something for you to go on when you need to research the subject further yourself.

  24. Lumia translated on 'Microsoft Lumia' Will Replace the Nokia Brand · · Score: 1

    The branding people at Nokia probably guessed what's going to happen with windows phone and made the product name to a subtle joke.
    Lumia in Finnish translates as plural of snow in past tense.
    If you use it in a sentence: "Menneen talven lumia" (common anecdote) it translates as "Thing of the past"

    Ahem.. Baseball is pretty much the national sport next to ice hockey in Finland. Although it's the local version of the game. Pitching is vertical instead of horizontal(US baseball) and the field is shaped like a upside down triangle with a rectangle on top rather than diamond(US)
