First proof your are worth it. I offer you this program: (pun intended)
START: - if (registered but not paying) and (already got free answers) goto FREEOFFER: GOTO PAID:
FREEOFFER: - have them register on your site (or collect their information via telephone) - let them choose whether they want to use their question answered for free or paid. - if FREE: send (or call them back) them a solution within 24 hours. - if PAID: goto PAID. - GOTO END
PAID: - answer -.. - profit! RETURN
Note1: i include a registration process because this allows you to spot the recurring free-runners, aka "potential customers". Note2: i include a registration process via telephone because its really annoying for customers otherwise.
Seriously though, its clear they do not see your value when they respond furiously when they hear you expect to get paid. Today, people are used to free services. They expect you to get your money "elsewhere", because they are the product. Exploit that expectation, and make them the product. They might be really good at PR, if you offer them (limited) free solutions and they understand that better support is paid.
You forget that history forgets what it doesn't want to remember. The winner writes history. Historically, most literature hundred(s) year old we still know today was written down/saved from bookburnings by/for cristians.
Accounts of the ugly side are fewer, but it happened. We/they terrorized millions of people in many countries worldwide with our crusades, raised armies to burn villages, and burned witches. Todays rise of other religious wars is a reflection of the cristian centuries a several hundred years ago. Truth is ugly, live with it.
This probably isnt going to earn me upmods, but many (and afaik i even said it first) said this on/. ever since they expressed their Linux interest. Its bloody obvious.
Easyer said than done when there is no Windows CD supplied.
I have even seen cases where there is no bootable recovery partition, no supplied disks whatsoever except for a manual on a CD (no drivers even), resulting in a recovery that demands you order (and pay for) a "recovery boot CD" first. I believe that was a Gateway computer.
How odd, in the Netherlands we have a surplus of trained pilots. It was big news here of few weeks ago, with many freshly graduated pilots even willing to fly for known unsafe Africa/Asia based airlines just to get a job!
Steam on Linux is just there so they can go to an even more perfect (controllable) environment such as, say, a Steam console. Isn't this blatantly obvious since they day they first mentioned it? *sigh*
Im dutch, some drugs is legal to use here, and i have never heard of this as being relevant to (software) engineers. In my experience we use less drugs, and if we use it (or alcohol) we close in on the stereotype "normal" person.. or so I heard.
OP is complaining the system is old, but in fact the system was a decade ahead of its time.
And with this, there is no shame in realizing that it can still be, because if he'd work together with Bob on these issues, they have no need to reinvent the wheel they already have.
And if OP trying to make clear that modern solutions are better, let him please setup his solution as full blown proof of concept and have Bob look at it, before arguing any further or taking down the old (proven) system before the new one is proven. If both guys are right in their intent, they'll collaborate and everybody is happy.
I have heard it said the USA has historically had a policy/mindset that rather escalates and rebuilds, instead of prevent disaster. There just might be some truth in it.
I don't know if USA construction costs differ much - but i'd rather build my house out of concrete and stone, make sure it can deal with the sea level, and choose representatives/governors/mayors/politicians that protect me from disaster. (besides creating and maximizing opportunities that likely benefit me)
No, the intent is to control their own software stack as to not be dependant. And when its finished they can sell us the Steam console, which strangely nobody sees coming.
IANAE (i am not an expert) but.. yes Earth+Moon gravity are pulling in the same direction. And this combined vector is canceling the centrifugal force of orbiting earth+moon.
I guess that L2 is where the sling (centrifugal force) and gravity of earth+moon combined cancel eachother. L3 is the same, but sideways. It rotates around the earth in step with the moon.
I'm surprised that i saw no Iron Sky comments yet. http://www.ironsky.net/ its a B movie made on a budget with remarkable Hollywood quality. Sequal and prequal are in the works, i've heared.
Relevant because its recent (mid 2012), about the dark side of the moon and an US astronaut. If you want a good laugh about WW2 germans, watch this.
They ask you what you need, so you'll say "Version Control. She then asks "Why?" and "Cost? ". I guess she did not ask "How?". Its not important that she understands "How?", its only important she understands "Why?". If she did ask "How?", she actually meant to learn "What is the impact on other people and their work process?".
The questions "Costs?" can be answered with "Just some time to set it up the free software, and for productivity i recommend buying SmartGit for 300 bucks.". If there is other stuff/hardware you need, just determine a budget, make a plan, take decisions and work it out, and don't bother her with details, only when there is an strategic/tactical choice to make. I'm flabbergasted that this (just doing it yourself, not wasting words on it) isn't how you approached the "problem" already, it it was a problem.
Having experience with a SonyEricson and Windows5 phone, i found the Blackberry devices cumbersome and prehistoric, even back then. It was easyer to just carry a laptop around. To me it was clear RIM could not innovate or keep up with the features the market demanded despite their name "research in motion". Their infrastructure design was cool for the beginning of the 90's, but was only a burden afterwards.
Or their compass doesnt encompas the subject. Some things some people care less about, or have a less defined opinion about.
Depending who asks me on what moment in what way (context) the answer on the same question may change, especially after consuming (for me relevant) information in the meanwhile.
The other questions in the questionnaire help support answers in eachother, its how many guestimate their exams.

Some news articles (dutch) i grabbed just now via Google:

No no no you got it all wrong.

Google "waterkering delta"
Just call the Dutch already, make proper dykes.
Thats not a technology problem, its a human problem.
What a stupid example.

Also google for "mars curiosity arm" theres some really nice pictures there.

Those socialist hell-holes get all the good stuff.
I am dutch and i do not get your sarcasm.
This is for the visitors - the kind of idiot who follows his GPS into a lake - not the locals.
No that'd be the USA. No lakes in Brabant except for the mosquito/frog mud holes designed by environment politicians.
This whole post should tagged "Irrelevant socalled news" and moderated to "-5 Trolls feast here".
They called me once, i recorded the conversation and trolled the guy. http://barrystaes.nl/scambait/
I always assumed they where in Indonesia and used compromised voip exit servers in their victims country..

Replace "a" with "the latest model of" and you have Apple covered as well.
I declared Blackberry dead over 7 years ago.
