Agreed..
I've already commented on this a few times...
The managers in charge of projects don't seem to be seasoned enough to understand
the long term disadvantages of cloud computing...never mind the security and sovereignty issues involved. I'll say it again, some people need to put down their copy of Techwars and realize that
some projects are too wide for web applications.
It isn't exciting ?? We kept hearing a few years ago that this was exactly the kind of activity that was responsible for much of the breathable air on our planet, plus food the the fishies... And this isn't something to be marveled at ??? Cripes...
More Propaganda... Only dogs now what to do with poles...and this one deserves it. We DO MIND Traffic shaping... But what the heck can we do about it ? Month after month our bills get higher and our download cap gets smaller... We need to open up the market to more competition so badly.
We're on XP... They are thinking of going Vista because of the 1 on 1 MS support we have. Most techs here are well against any move away from XP... Vista II or 7 depending what your take is is not an option. We want out of the M$ revenue tree... Just code something that works and we'll pay for the patches/upgrades. Stop trying to sell us new stuff that just takes up more CPU cycles for no good reason. This industry is going nowhere fast.
You nutbowls are letting them label you everyday...
The Left, the Right, Liberal,conservative...enough already...
We all have values that span the whole gamut...
Calling yourself any of these is surrendering your freedom of choice.
That being said, it's OK to be a conservative and hate Rush and Billo, because they're idiots, and like Olbermann because at least he does his research.
But joining in just because ? It's all a game, just make sure you're not with the loons on
either side of the argument.
'There's definitely a right-sizing going on,' says Michael King, research director, mobile and wireless, for Gartner.
Why must we endure advertising on here ? There are so many reasons for Wireless to be a "Convenience" over a practical default it boggles the mind. I miss the good old days before the hype got the better or preogress....
I agree completly.. But my original point (joke ?) was that this bacteria could affect us. We're an awsome pool of evolutionary crap just waiting for the next super bug to either crap us out or mutate us, either into a positive evolutionary step, or negatively back down the poop chute.
I Goooot Thaaaaaat Thiiiing Heeeee Seeeeent Meeeeee !
Interesting information to be sure... But how do these micro organisms interact with Human cells ? Can they survive down here ? Are the body snatchers on their way ??!!
Surely, we should welcome our new microscopic overlords before they take over our minds and......**gurgle**
Assuming you believe all the hype from a few stories, most oddballs are just that. Most of the brilliant ones can pass any etiquette test, and knows a salad spoon from a spork. But assuming management bears them out ?! surely you jest. Isolated cases...
Great news ? Orwell's shifted so many times in his grave as to come back up to the surface by now. No I mean really, between the lack of privacy laws and such, how long until the people of Britain rise up ?
His parents were the richest people on the Pacific Rim at the time... Given that kind of support (and the knowledge that you can't fail no matter what) how can you not succeed ? Same goes for D Trump, junk Bonds salesman, son of a...wait for it, millionaire (billionaire ? Real Estate investor...) Ugh.
Don't care...My Full copy of Vista sits in a frame, with a nasty comment underneath. They can take my Windows XPSP2 from my dead rotting corpse...
I will not be forced into a lesser product by lies and technical newbs. This new MS OS scheme has become so politicized that facts are few and far in between.
We want a better, faster, more secure OS's... What we get is a load of DRM topped with eye candy that requires higher end PC's. I'm happy I don't work at M$ anymore, but sad that the corporate structure has killed off any innovation and intends to present us with multiple versions of crap.
Dude, we're not idiots, you're just a little green under the boards...
You're the guy who assumes there's one solution for a know issue...
doesn't always work that way....I weep for your Clients....
Many recent visitors to my home shop had hardware issues, heat and such...
You know, like the tech who stacked toghether packed the DVD/CD and 2 HDD's
and made a heating block ?
And if you're really smart you'll have a image of your main drive....
F O R M A T ? LOL...NOOB !!!!
I sit on about 1200 here and after over two decades there's a list...
Of course just having a ghost at the ready is optimum (we use Acronis....)
But the usual suspects here are, in order:
Network liability during a network slowdown. (Having too many open shares).
Defrag
Bad Blocks (Replace HDD)
MFT at 99% (or too many MFT Fragments)
Too many backround apps or loaded services
(don't uncheck them in msconfig, disabled them in services or they're still loaded)
Bad MBoard
Malware
Trjans and viruses (Very rare, this is a Gov Dept)
Good luck !
I've worked at M$, Digital and a few other places.
After twenty two years in IT, starting with IBM Legacy Servers, way
before PC's...I call it as I see it...
Are you a troll or a M$ agent ?
I can't tell...
We will not be going on net for document creation...
Get your heads out of the clouds and back to ground.
The mere thought of being reliant on resources out of our control is insanity.
The Bandwidth issue not withstanding, security and infrastructure concerns aside, this is folly and is meant to drive another INTERNET bubble of fools looking for the next big tech movement.
Let's start talking about how better to organize what we have instead of watching repeats of William Shatner's Techwar ok ?
Cripes.
Over 7,000 people have registered to participate in a botnet attack against another country ?!
This can't be legal and these people should be arrested, period.
I hope they realise that the other side will be able to discover their ip's and counter attack...
And then who will save them ?
Users....ah cripes....

huh, Politics for geeks: libertarians want govt like Unix and
liberals want govt like Windows.
Then what do Conservatives want ??
Typewriters ??

Anonymous for discretion, but you've put up the most succinct and
clear description of reality...

The creationists will never win for they believe in the static writings of Prophets.
Science (as in evolutionary sciences) evolves.
But it is far too early for us amateurs to come to any conclusions...
It takes years of analysis to actually get at any "hard" data.
I agree completly..

'For the record, we do not believe that the new iPod headphones with in-line remote use DRM that affects audio playback in any way.'"
I'm no lawyer but, this isn't a "Money Quote"....
"We do not believe" is no guaranty that it's not going to be doing just that later on...
Ditto...
