No kidding, our labs were called outbreak because of the sheer number of viruses waiting to latch on to your floppy and come on home!
Take a look at how many viruses spread from improperly set up file shares, infected Word documents, and trojaned executables. If it's a tech school with a reputable CS/CE/EE Department, chances are they're probably going to have updated virus signatures and the virus threat to MS products is being managed. If it's a Liberal arts school thats running a loose and ragged network, then maybe it's time to look at Linux and hire a few good admins/techs.
keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects.... This architecture results in query speeds that many people won't believe until they see for themselves
I can't get the page to load it might be/.'d already..... And they're right - I don't believe it because I can't see it.
Maybe I'm kicking a gift horse in the teeth here, but my wife loots my checking account on a fairly regular basis (Share and share alike when it's my wallet but not her purse.. I still haven't figured that out) I'd like to have the extra control on my card to lock out people that do have regular access to my wallet.
On the other hand, if I get thrown in jail or put in the hospital, she isn't going to be able to get to the funds to get me out.
A joint checking account is not a viable option unless I want to live in a cardbaord box.
I do package volume analysis for one of the bigger shipping companies and when I first saw the headline, I thought I could finally install something and let it run and that I would never have to do the TPS reports ever again. FINALLY! No more Package Analysis worksheets! No more sending out reports! Looked closer and saw what they were really talking about...

EA/OSI is staging their latest publish to the servers right now, and there's some bit of a scandal there. EA was offering a new landmass to the playerbase, only if they ordered through Gamestop, EBGames, Amazon, or EA's own store. The new client was to ship on the 11th. What EA sisn't say was that they were going to dump all of their packages at UPS's Louisvilla Air hub at 2AM, ensuring that the packages got delivered that day. A lot of people are crying foul, but it really doesn't seem to matter..... The servers haven't come back up yet (they said it would take 4-5 hours.. it's been about 12 now..) One of the servers has come up and I've seen turtles **** faster.
They have changed a bunch of merchant and housing rules in order to generate more subscriptions and it just keeps getting worse and worse. They don't fix the nastier bugs and they ban people that accidentally stumble on bugs (There's a tile that you can step on and send a broadcast message - Fixed? Not that I know of. Bannable? You betcha - Can they lock something over it so nobody steps on it? Sure! Why don't they? No idea)
Garriot said it - "And as Ultima 8 got into scheduling trouble, as every Ultima always did, rather than make a decision as we had in the past to hold the game until it was polished, we began to cut things out to stay on schedule. And we cut and we cut and we cut and the game that was finally released was not only shipped early even for the cut version (and therefore buggy), but also had its guts ripped out as far as being an Ultima."
They have no interest in fixing what is wrong, they keep introducing new "features", and their customer service has been offshored by people who don't play the game and english is their second language.

You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you. Obviously you are mistaken. This company is one of the top software companies in the world because every single employee understands that they are part of a whole. Thus if an employee has a problem, the company has a problem. The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Anderson. Either you choose to be wear a tie from this day forward or you choose to find yourself another job. Do I make myself clear?
For publicity purposes, I will not disclose the name of the University I was a Police Officer, but one night we got the same call re: stealing internet access. It wasn't stealing access per se, but some students were running Napster with another University that happened to be our provider. The students had subnetted a few floors and *everyone* was running napster. We figured that 80~95% of the university's bandwidth was being used by this illegal connection, and it was really jamming our outside connections. We had a few issues - one - it's not stealing because it's free, there is no compensation for internet access. Two, we had to prove willfull intent. Subsequent questioning of the guy subnetting out indicated that he was more guilty of Criminal Idiocity, willful neglect, gross negligence, and imcompetence (The code section hasn't been updated to include these as criminal crimes, but in the IT world, he is pretty much dead in the water). I had recently made precident within our State courts regarding Internet crime, but we felt that this was damn silly and had to find a good solution. What did we do? I took a Spydeco serrated knife and cut the dorm's network which had been laid out my years of students. You wanna see a white man rise to riot? Cut his network to shreds. The students were up in arms. I could hear people yelling as Quake connections dropped. Don't get me wrong, I'm not only a Police Officer, I have a BSCs, and I can appreciate the network laid out as I helped lay some of the cable when I lived in that dorm.. But to deny the whole uni access was out of the question. It was a fun call.
