You say that like it is a bad thing. Yes, Jews get the stereotype of evil uses of money. The kernel of truth is that stewardship of your finances is a tenet of the faith. So, yes, you can paint me with that broad brush all day, no matter what faith I profess to.
I would probably start a unit in charge of security -- ALL Security, and have them monitor and interact with IT and janitorial and anyone else to manage security.
Great, so to work for you, in addition to Linux/Windows certs, I now need a Johnson Controls cert, journeyman electricians papers, and an endorsement for use of lethal force?
Do you really want your net admin to carry a gun and/or taser backed up with a hammer? Just sayin...
What happens to misappropriated by Big Media content?
Let's say my vid of "Babe" gets tagged as infringing by the group Styx or the owners of the pig movie. Now they are illegally profiting off of my IP, what recourse is there? Sure, the number of people in this situation will be small, but not insignificant.
Since they can't make money by delivering mail any more, the post office has branched out into banking and mobile telephony, and operates an airline as well.
How many stamps does it take to fly from Palermo to Genova?
I don't get it either. At 6'3", not too many users look me eye to eye in anger. Even when sitting, and they have all my Marine Corps memorabilia between us as a buffer, they never yell at me.
You'd think a 6'3" former Marine is not a likely target for abuse or something.
On a serious note, you are dead on. Mouse admins click their way to quitting time, even in modern Linux.
Great sysadmins automate their way to going home at 5:00 every night.
Not really. What if that player had a tendency to explode after 25 hours of use. Would you want to be notified of the recall?
Basic customer data mining has been around for ages. Pretty much ever since Mr. Drucker asked after your health and crop prospects in the general store.:)
Or pillow talk after the very first prostitution transaction...depends how far back you want to go.
There will ALWAYS be more that can be done Here before we do something There. But we still go There to expand horizons, provide vision, inspire minds and any number of other things that enhance our knowledge of the universe.
Solely looking inward is the key ingredient to stagnation of civilization.
The US and Russia went to space while paved roads were still measured in the thousands of miles.
We go forward to find the 'now' of tomorrow.
Heck, there are still uncontacted people in South America. Should we wait until they have a Wal-mart before we do new science?
As much as people like to bitch about outsourcing here in the USA, why should we allow our talent to migrate to Canada? Doesn't allowing High Tech workers to work for foreign companies support Microsoft's contention that we need to increase H1Bs because the talent isn't here anymore?
That is a separate issue. If I fire you, what right do I have to say where you can and can't work? It is that simple. I believe we (U.S.) have a constitutional amendment addressing such practices.
Having not met Mr. Scalzi, I'll fuel the controversy and help expand the genre I like so much.
Scalzi is a Heinlein rip off of the first rate. Scalzi's leftist feminist whacko characters make Heinlein's look like lecherous lesbians.
The gratuitous gore and sex might be ok, but every single afterglow of victory or orgasm is buzz killed by some whiny preachy little tart complaining about the failures of mankind.
For the record, I have not read any of Scalzi's material, and I do like most of Heinlein's work.

I know, OT, go ahead and mod me to oblivion.

Didn't realize slang had a grammar nazi following. Oh wait, that would be Nazi.
Captain Obvious strikes again. Although, quantifying the effects is certainly a useful undertaking.
The problem is that this will surely encourage proponents of the continued woosification of America.
Are we supposed to live our lives in plastic bubbles eating only bean curd?
I have to take exception to this. Waiting for the burning sound to subside is way too long of a delay before I can start talking again. Sheesh.
Redundancy, verification and limited power are the way to security, not hiring a wizard.
But the hats are SOOOO COOOL. Why else are drawn to this trade?

How many stamps does it take to fly from Palermo to Genova?
And where do you stick them?
How many of their employees are going to get arrested for this one?
Anyone who actually has gone through the required business classes would be well aware of how insane their imaginary losses are.
Unfortunately, insanity has a cushy home among lobbyists and congress.
1975 called for the return of it's infrastructure. :)

Mod parent up.
Brennan should most certainly go for that prevailing party status to get legal expenses reimbursed.
How long before the first law suit claiming the ad is responsible for whatever driving calamity happened?
I can't believe this made it through a thought/mouth filter.
Scary?

Note, I'm not defending intrusive data mining.

If they really want to keep RIM from having their castoff engineers, just keep paying their salaries.
Can we get a +6 insightful?
I hope Motorola's lawyers get spanked so hard, the stockholders have hand prints on their butts.
Thank you. That really does help and without a car analogy, to boot.
Acadamia never ceases to amaze me. Note, spelled wrong on purpose BECAUSE OF ALL THE NUTS!
In the immortal words of Tom Hanks, I don't get it.
If the guy is a well known crackpot, what harm is happening? Obviously, I am not a citizen of this sub-world and could use the enlightenment.
Er, and then Word was easier to use and so better for most people, and so WordPerfect lost, and is now, no more.
Actually, Word was dirt cheap/'free' with PC and only good enough. Minor quibble, I know.
Mod P and GP up.
Win2k is still doing just fine.
I live and die by disk imaging.
Our shop does not have any of these problems. We even have some images that go across HALs without issue.
The old saw applies: the plural of anecdote is not data.
WHOOSH!
Too funny.

So, let's start selling some scifi books.
