We all had local admin rights until about a year ago. Under the new policy, standard user logins do not have local admin rights. If you need to install software, you need to login as a separate poweruser, which in turn disables access to all network resources (drives, printers, etc).
It was a big pain, and people did a lot of bitching and moaning, but slowly we're getting used to it.
There are several options: 1.) logout/login as poweruser 2.) Right-click, do 'Run As' 3.) While running as local user, open a CMD window that's running as poweruser.
It's not a card, it's an external box, that has two tuners and sits on your network. The beauty is, no worries about drivers, kernels, etc. It can tune OTA and unencrypted QAM. That means, unencrypted cable. Can't do anything w/ satellite.
I made the jump from programmer to DBA about 5 years ago. I expect to continue w/ the DBA path for many more years to come. Oracle keeps coming out w/ new versions and new features....no shortage of stuff to do....
Even if the court strikes it down entirely, it'll take the big media lobby about 30 seconds to kick their congress-lackeys in the ass and get a law passed to state exactly what they want/need.
As many have already mentioned, being able to
deal w/ TeraBytes of data is something Oracle
does well.
Also, there are many other facets:
- Parallel Server
- Standby database
- B*Tree indexes
- reverse key indexes
- bitmap indexes
- cost based optimization
- Rock solid transaction processing
- unequaled recoverability
- ability to recover up to last commited
transaction
- point in time recoverability
Oracle is damned expensive, but they are by far
the market leader, and the technological leader
when it comes to RDBMSes.
If you have a small database as a back end for
a website, don't waste your time and money.
If you need the most reliable, robust, tunable,
scalable, and recoverable database money can buy,
Oracle is the answer.
There is no equal.

P.S. Yes, I'm an Oracle DBA. No, I don't work
for them.

Enough said... ;-)
Let's not forget the familiar "Culligan man!!" call. I remember that from the 70s-80s.
That's what I was thinking!
Waste of money!
Personal responsibility!

Document the idea in writing. Do it in detail. Sign it and date, and have someone witness it.
Seal it in an envelope and put it in a safe.
Now, tell whoever you want to tell. If they try to steal your idea, you have the documentation to back up your claim of authorship.

http://www.pricewatch.com and http://www.resellerratings.com are your friends.
The first one to find the best price, the second to make sure that the guy with the best price isn't a crook.
Hope that helps,

THis sounds more like a stereo lithography machine than an inkjet printer....
