I have an agreement with my mother which is 55 yo and has no computer technical skill. "You want me to take care of your computer, fine, you are not admin, you CAN'T INSTALL software." I do the software install. Since most of the malware need to copy itself onto some directory where she dont have write acces, it fixed many of the problem. Also none of her friends can come and do a "look what i found on this weird webpage is cute and funny but i need to install it first" Since she had her last computer 3 years ago I never had to re-install or clean malware out of it. Im just thinking now of doing a re-install as the Windows is aging and well windows age bad lol. Its not 100% proof but it did a good job for me.
Im a bit tired of hearing the artist whimper: "we work soo hard". Yes we all know you work hard, we all do work hard for our living. Collecting fee for iPod and music players... how will this be done, flat fee or percentage of the sale? I have a good idea... why dont we put a fee on software sales. Yeah fee on software sale for those who work on Open source software. They outta make a living too, and since we haven't paid for their software, no one will be paying twice. And thats a good way for the big software compagny to repay the small guys who generously give their work for free. This should make a triving FOSS and beat the stiffling nature of proprietary software. And not encourage all those one hit wonders from recieving free money for life.
I noticed the exact same thing. Im french by birth and some weeks ago i just started writing something down, i cant remember what it was, but i noticed how often i had to stop to think about my spelling. It might not just be the keyboard and typing but also that most of my work is done in english. That im loosing my french spelling... who knows!
But I can confirm that im having a much harder time writing and spelling than i used to have.
Im sorry i forgot to teach my kids to look where she walks, so instead of admitting im a idiot, i'll sue the city for not looking where my kid was walking.
Dont you watch before you cross the street ? Well its the same damned thing...
Lets have some fun with that. Let them hire a bunch of people so in a couple of months like 9 months.. we all try to hack into their servers a steal the password list, then publish the story here, that Bozecrap city lost the password to al the accounts of their employee. It would be funny to watch them soo humiliated! Then we trash the passwords.. no fun with that.
I first got out of college and got a internship at a very small compagny. There i was tech 1st grade... just like you.. hell i tell you. But i managed to hang for a year. The good thing is that compagny was soo poor that every other job was better, so there were job opening very often. So after a year i got second level and i helped hire the new 1st level guy. Then it was hell but.. much more colder than it used to be. I hanged another year and then the 3rd level quit for a better job, so i took the post, now the fun was there. i was running the IT, under the manager, but i was the one choosing the hardware, choosing the technology, i held that job for a year again. Now I was ready, i had gone through 3 level of tech support and also been "sub-manager" of the IT department. Then the manager left, but nooo way was i to become a manager.. i hate politics and budjet and stuff.. so i stayed at my post and got a new manager. Then it was my turn i left the compagny and had enough experience to fit almost any job in IT since as 3rd i had touched almost everything, from Network management to server management hell i even did some HR when it was time to get new staff. Now i have a dream job, i work as a Linux System Admin and im loving it.
Hope this gives you courage and keep it up. so my advice would be, find another helpdesk job, where you can have advancement, go for small town where there are less staff and more opportunity.
Good luck mate!
There is no 1 good answer to which produc you should use, yeah I use Symantec Corporate, its light weight, fast and it updates like a charm. But the best anti-virus still is the fact that you must not get one in the first place. So user awarness and give them a class on best practices. Im sure you can meet everyone at your compagny and tell them that the best thing is to always be suspicious on the internet. Dont trust emails, NEVER, even if you know the person, double check if you have any little doubts. But for the AV solution well I dont have suggestion beside the "dont": Dont use AVG it sucks bad.. dont use Panda (if it even exist anymore) its the worst, its even harder to remove than a virus itself. I heard good thing about Nod32 but never used it. I like Symantec but i guess its not cheap
Common on, this discution is supposed to be about HMD, not the cylon, not Terminator, not wall mounted LCD..
I too am dreaming of a HMD and a very small portable computer that I could strap to my belt and have a wealth of information at the tip of my fingers.
Unfortunately for you my friend I dont have much more than vuzix and they are not very impressive yet.
Ok I'm pissed... when did we voted for this kind of crap? I mean aren't our interest are supposed to be the state mission? How come a privately owned compagny of multi-million dollar can just lobby a state into passing law to cripple or destroy competition. I tough that was part of the "American dream" be able to do what you want and be succesful with it. I think it is time for the revolution. Who's with me?
Lets make the revolution, kick those &^%$#^ out of OUR country! You dont want to play by the rules.. you want your rules to be ours.. then you can take your rules and see if anyone wants them somewhere else !!
Common revolution comrades!
I still have hope that someday we will look at those dark time when greed is king and say. "Feew we went over that... and now we're en enlighten society." Man these news are depressing... Can someone tell me how doing this will bring money to them.. I mean dont you have bigger fish to catch.. she's a horse trainer.. god damn it.. she not trying to make a illegal bar or playing it over the internet.. she's putting music on in her work place. I cant wait for them and come tell me that I have to pay fee to play my MP3 on my laptop when my cubicule mate is listening !
When are we going to riot over these things and show those "as**" that we wont take this bullshit anymore?
I agree with you, but not completely. Huge billionaire compagny shouln'd be allowed patent, they dont need them.
Take a trip back in time and look at what the patent system was intended for:
1. Protect inventor from being ripped and copied by huge compagny with much more wealth and much more manpower that can produce a similar product at a lower cost.
2. Invite people to be creative without the fear of actually loosing money over their invention. (many small inventor invest quite a big ammount of money to make a product, if it get ripped and sold cheaply by someone else, they can't get into their money.
Now take a look how the patent system now work.
1. Big compagny patent absolutely everything just in case someone try to make a product using that idea, then sue them. Most of the time waiting until the product hit the shelves to sue, even if they know someone is currently investing a truck load of money and that they will surely get ruined by the lawsuit.
2. Big compagnies just cross patent their stuff.. Ei: M$ get a software out, IBM says the infringe our patent number 14567, M$ answer yeah well your product XYZ infringe on our patent 76543 so lets call it even.
3. I think everyone knows about the patent trolls.. no need to go into details here..
So.. is it me or.. this system is completely screwed..
What need to be done IMO..
1. Big compagny can't get patent.. you have more than 2000 employees.. No patent for you.. (the actual number can be discussed..)
2. Patent have a 2 years life time.. at the speed things moves these days.. 20 years is not a long time.. its a lifetime in the techology..
3. All expired patent goes into CC (Creative commons) and are open.
4. Patent needs to be reviewed by specialist.. you want a computer science patent, fine a computer specialist is going to review you application and its better be a good idea cause if you submit a crap, you'll get a fine for abuse.
5. NO SOFTWARE PATENT PERIOD
The problem I see in this is that, knowing microsoft as we all do, for years and years of FUD and mischief, they are NOT going to equip america with technology skills. They are going to equip america with Microsoft skills, thats a big difference.
They wont teach these people how to work with computer, to understand the basis of computer science. No, they will teach them how to be a MCP or a MCT.
Yes these people will probably get a job, well I hope so for them. The only thing that depress me is that it will create more Microsoft Cappies (guys wearing a microsoft cap)
I know this is irrelevant and thus I assume im going to get some offtopic or... whatever I need to get this off my chest...
Im that close | | to wish that humanity get whiped out on all count of extreme greed.. on all count of usage of intelligence to regress.. on all count of head in the butt...
Please change your ways people, isn't humanity over this ?? I mean can't we trive on the goal of being better and enlightened. Greed ultimately will result in you being buried with more wealth..
Yeah make everyone pay for something they might do, so they have less money and then choose to illegaly download your music instead of buying it. No wonder how this model is flawed... ( I can almost hear 7 of 9 say it: "Your model is flawed, it is inneficient") Do theses guys even bother to think about it... gaaahh idiots... when will they understand.. lower the cost of the CDs, you will sell MUCH MORE. I go in a music store.. I check out the CDs.. I pick several up then.. I check the price tag and drop those I cant afford in my budget... we do I bother anyway...
They are only really just trying to keep your attention away from the fact that it works. Not because your kid is going to be smarter playing the game, but that it will make it smarter because he`s playing the game. And hes playing the game because its fun, much more fun than doing homework. So what work best, something that will make your kid smarter or something that would make your kid smarter if he did it? (he doesn`t like to do homeworks, he likes to play to the DS)
I personally haven`t had that problem. I did first line support, but it wasn`t on phone it was inside a small compagny. Here is what I suggest to get this behind you. ry and get hired for support in a compagny where you can get advancement. Thats what I did. I worked my way to the top, I started at first level support, then second, then first thing I knew I was head of the department of technical operation. Now I switched company and Im a linux system administrator. I hope this will help you in anyway.
Good luck friend
Man I cant believe you are writing this. For once I think law enforcement did the right thing. Yes its a weird way to apply the law, but for once loophole were used by the bad guys. This women did something absolutely terrible to this poor girl, she really deserve to be punished and punished severely. That women was old enough to be childish yet she conducted herself that way. By pretending to be a young boy and purposely breaking the heart of a young and easy-impressed, shy girl. That lead to her suicide. I hail for this judgment and I pray for this to happen more often. We need to stop (a bit not too much) relying on the written stuff as if it was unintelligible.. we need to go deep and punish those who deserve it be cause they did... not because they found a way that would prevent then from being punished because of the way it is written.. sorry if I dont make much sence, those are hard topic to write when english is not your primary language...
Well there are many things to consider.
1. How usefull a language would be. French, Japanese, German, Romanian, Magrabesh (not sure how to spell it in english)
Sure its nice to learn Magrabesh but would it be usefull.. so think ahead where you`d like to move to if thats your plan.
2. The most and I say this very seriously, the most important thing is that you can easily practice that new language. Im french and learned english easily. I watched TV, I chatted on the net I read some books (thank you Asimov) I learned by practicing. Thats the most easiest way, if you can`t practice regularly it will take way longer for you to learn that new language. So thats definetely something to think about when you choose which one to learn.
The funny thing about this sports is that a champion is bound to loose its title quickly, the more the champion boxe, the worst he must be getting at chess. Since after a year or two having your face punched turn your brain into molasses...
Funny back a year or two we had a simillar problem. We ordered a new server, configured it as a AD domain controller and sent it to a remote office. All went well for 2-3 weeks then it crashed bad. Nothing to do with it, the drive seemed faulty but after 3 days of searching we found out that the RAID card was the wrong one, they pluged in a card for another model of server. All this time, the support representative wouldn`t do anything for us until we ran their windows centric diagnostic software! Way to go Dell !! (Windows wasn`t booting as our disk array was damaged behond repair!)
