I would assume that they would use a volume license agreement and product. Removing the activation procedures of the installation.
Distribution wouldn't be much of a chore using a prebuilt installation image with answer file.
The end result is a bill from Microsoft for all those products - money that could have been used to purchase more hardware and infrastructure instead of software.
No doubt. And the legit users get treated like garbage in typical Verisign fashion whenever you need to get a cert reissued. And they take their sweet ass time doing it too.
no, the actual motherboard is encased in a simple grounded metal shield. The transparent plastic is just transparent plastic... the crt in pre-lcd imacs don't need to be shielded because of the lead lining in the tube.
True, we also use that in our office. I'm moving away from it now that we have more XP Pro workstations - which allow remote desktop and remote assistance.
If I don't have sit in their stinky cube and look at all their ugly kid's photos, it makes the job that much sweeter.
Well, that's like saying you work for GM building cars, and the tuneup on your blazer should only cost about $20 because it only takes a few minutes to drop in a new injector manifold on a new truck.
My informed opinion was working in a grocery store when I was in high school, about ten years ago. They purchased new carts for three stores. At 75 carts per store, they spent over $181,000. How did I know this? I asked the owner how much they cost... he even got a discount because he ordered for three stores instead of just one. It would have cost him close to $950/cart.
These weren't fancy carts with lots of extras either. He showed me the options you can get for your carts, including drink holders, ad holders for the seats, carts dipped in a vinyl coating, upgraded wheels and bearings, extended warrentees, on site repair and maintainance plans, and a bunch of other crap. You could easily spend more than $1,500 a cart!
Why? Because there isn't a huge competitive market - you want carts... you're only going to have a few people to get them from. That lets them nail you without the lube or a reacharound.
It's tough to argue that - because they put so much pressure on the sales wenches and slaves to sell them that they come right out and tell you that with this magic ESP plan - you can accidently break a serial port pin and bring it in for the cost of your ipaq off a new one.
Why ask such questions, and then post in anonymously? I would have spent a little more effort to explain my dry humor, but I won't bother with a coward.

I wish I could make that choice - the people in control of things decided verisign had the best recognition and name in secure web traffic...
too bad most of the sheep out there wouldn't know what a secure website looked like if it was fed to them.
You just described my first two jobs... damn it - and I thought I was a really good sys admin right out of skool.

You must work in my office! Sorry about that - they wouldn't fix the DNS entry.
Now I'll be able to search for the exact error message my windows boxes toss at me. Woo hoo!
If google had raised it's limits earlier, I could have skipped that school diploma and just went right into I.T. support.
I with you 100% - I'm so sick of clearchannel rock, alternative, and all the other crap picked to air by a cash register.
I installed XM and never looked back. Heck, I don't think I remember what my FM presets are even set to anymore.
So I get a P2P client with more spyware than a warez site, and now they shove a voip client in it - will they also generate audio ads?
I don't understand why Kazaa is still being used when there are so many other viable P2P clients out there that won't harm your PC.

I'm not a photographer, but I play one on /.
Use a tripod or other solid mount when making photos in low light conditions... it keeps your photos from bluring.
True, we also use that in our office. I'm moving away from it now that we have more XP Pro workstations - which allow remote desktop and remote assistance.

Aha ha ha ha ha.
I learned logo in 2nd grade back when A[ple II's where the bleeding edge of computing.
Man that RGB color was slamin'
It's kind of like the Abd cable on an old mac, or the P2S cable on a PC, now replaced with the faster and more modern UBS cables.
My informed opinion would be $100 tops

Yeah, please - let me shop there.
Annoying pop-up bug?
I had an issue with two Firefox windows opening at the click of a link in an email. (very annoying when responding to phpbb forum mail)
Easily fixed using google and a registry patch.
I usually get a good laugh from those that live in warmer climates and their lack of knowlege about life.
You laugh at those capable enough to move to a more hospitable climate? Hrmf.
I have better things to worry about than cold weather survival... then again, airborne WMD's won't live in a harsh cold environment.
Hey - got any room up there?
Oh joy... another game to piss off the congressperson-of-the-day who's against video games.
This post contains explicit lyrics - oh, too late.
No, those can all be stolen. But a simple implant in a tooth or filling would be easy enough to remove if wanted.
Then again, so would a cockring - but I won't be getting one of those anytime too soon.

If I had mod points, you'd get one for being true!
It would be funny if the stadium fell down or the field suddenly flooded. What kind of a sign would that be?
oh my.... they got slaughtered.
Someone please take the defensive line, coaches, and trainers out back and shoot them.
You sound like a real tool.
I hope I never work with/for you - I would make it my cause in life to make your's hell. Now go away and pick on some freshmen.

My (whatever) god (you trust) bless you. If I see you in Wisconsin, I won't flip you off for having Illinois plates. :P
