http://www.ishkur.com/features/music/guide.htm -- Is a nice guide to different styles of electronic/dance music.
There's a lot more good music out there than has been mentioned, but I'd rather not be flamed for name dropping. Go check out some new styles, and start looking. Join some sort of live set trading community, and start seeing what's out there!
He's not trolling, with some network hardware you *can* clone a MAC address. This feature is for exactly the purpose we're discussing. (Tricking an upstream device into playing nice.)
Also I know that you can change the MAC address on Sun hardware if you desire. It's done with an EPROM setting.
Yes, but never forget that the catered lunches were only there to replace the beer keg. The beer keg that was rightfully ours!
I still don't forgive Leo Hindery for that one. Although that con-call was one of the funniest things I experienced at GCTR.
And I disagree with your assertion that overspending didn't destroy EXDS. Customer churn was half, but you can't ignore Mad Ellen's shopping spree. If EXDS had grown at a reasonable rate they'd be a lot better off. Hell, even buying GCTR was mismanagement and overspending.
Serves them right for moving us to MS-Exchange I say!
I work at a major colocation ISP. We used to be paid salary plus a bonus for billable hours. Employees used to grumble a bit about 3am calls, but it would add to our bonuses - so we dealt with it.
Recently "Management" took away the bonus, and gave us all a raise to reflect the lost income.
In theory most of us make the same amount of money as before. Morale however has suffered tremendously. 90% of the office leaves at 6pm sharp. Before there would be people here at all hours. The motivation to get out of bed or answer a weekend page is lessened with no "extra" compensation.
Lately we've started losing people, because of the lost bonus and several other factors. Now there are fewer people to be on call, so we get the pager more. It works out to be about every 4 weeks now.
I would expect that pretty soon after the situation becomes unworkable whoever is left here will probably be receiving a bonus again.
The moral? If you expect your employees to give up personal time (which is critical to them) to support your infrastructure (which is critical to you) pay them well for it, or prepare to replace them . . .
Assuming the memo is genuine, this might actually represent progress for M$. Who know's how many bugs they (internally) admit to Win98 or NT4 having. Not to mention Office . . .
We really don't have a frame of reference. Any Anonymous Cowards from M$ care to comment?

Ready for a shameless plug? I'd say the answer is partially the network. Here's the last 3 hops in a traceroute:

It's called GlobalCrossing. Flame me if you must.
