No, not just enlist their help with other users and throttle their access, actually listen to what they have to say and ask why they do things that don't align with policy.
I immediately perked up at the thought of powering my ICE vehicles with alcohol made from grass clippings... only I live in the Southeast, and we didn't get squat for rainfall this year, so there weren't that many grass clippings. Global warming might mean less rainfall in this region for years, so I'm thinking this isn't going to work out.
...what about during waiting time on the ground at the gate after the door is shut or sitting on the taxiway? If not then, then they're missing a big opportunity to pacify some agitated customers.
What makes you think the lobbyists didn't want this? Not the lobbyists for McD's or Starbucks but the ones for fat providers of broadband, who don't want any sharing?

Agreed. Truly amazing how many people want the junk I've given away. I've yet to get anything, because the response for items offered is so overwhelming that I'm always too late responding. It feels great to know that the workable items that would otherwise be landfill fodder are still in use somewhere. Old storm doors, old vacuum cleaners, old printers, you name it.
Clean? Nope. Doesn't pollute the air or water much, when things go right, aside from overheating some lakes and rivers a bit and releasing a few extra neutrons. There are new reactor designs which are much safer all around, but we have quite an investment in the old. Fuel is not cheap or free, either, and mining it results in quite a deal of environmental destruction.
But really, the most serious issues are two: 1) Nasty waste, and this one apparently can't be easily solved. Not only where does one put it, but how does one get it there. 2) You can't safely (or legally) run a fission reactor in your backyard. So we're stuck under the thumb of the energy mobsters. PV or micro hydro or in some cases wind or geothermal or fuels from crops empower individuals and give us real liberty. These production methods become much more competitve economically if one includes the real costs of the alternatives. This is something I would think all the de facto Libetarians here could easily grasp.

How about this... once again, something he did or said made MS, according to their legal department, vulnerable to a lawsuit. By preemptively publicly removing him, they hope that a judge will see that MS is not liable, that the CIO acted in violation of policy and is only himself liable. Unfortunately, whatever he did is either not clearly against MS policy or often goes unpunished, so if they say publicly what he allegedly did, they'll be subject to his next lawsuit.

This idea was actually hatched at PARC. Present-day personnel were digging through old files to rediscover forgotten PARC inventions. It was originally used to redact humorous parts, so unfortunately the rediscoverers missed the punch line.
Will USB 3.0 be suitable for transferring video, etc? Currently I have to use Firewire to avoid dropped frames and such. I think it has little to do with USB 2's maximum rate.
Not everyone who takes advantage of this is "clever." Many learn tricks from a either a lifetime of trial-and-error or are taught. They may be considered craftsmen but lack the skills of synthesis.
Carefully observe (or recall) and analyze the actions and inactions, things done right, and mistakes of managers around you. Observe and analyze how your actions/inactions affect others (underlings AND overlings). Nobody can tell you how to become the manager you can be, they can only tell you how others did it. While this is useful information, it has limited applicability to you and your particular department. Read, sure, books by Fred Brooks, Drucker, etc., but avoid books by people like Jack Welch. Remember, most problems with employees (certainly not all) originate with, or at least can be mitigated by, management. Lastly, use the so-called 80/20 rule!
If MS gives away all rights to the format spec and any algorithms required to use it, fine. JPEG can declare particular implementations in compliance or not. Otherwise, no way.
I can't fault his observations, except that he's not observing everything. Recording companies already took most of the profit for artists out of selling records, so that performing live has been their means of making money. Now free sharing and the splintering of the market has finished record profits off, so that the only means of making money is performing live. So I think that on balance the end result will be more live performances rather than fewer, and in smaller, more intimate venues. What's not to like, unless you're hell bent on becoming a zillionaire? Smaller venues smell more like art to me.

Or conversely, I can imagine peons in the trafficking pipeline being required to have a vaccine to prevent pilferage en route.

Is a homonym of it just used to describe cattle and giraffes now? It certainly rolls off the tongue a bit more easily than "x-raser".
Afghans could grow this... of course, this wouldn't make the West energy-independent.
edlin For a few tasks, there's never been anything on an MS platform superior. Too bad they dropped it long ago.

It's due to being in denial.
Isn't denigrating your own previous products to sell more of the current considered a very poor sales approach?
