yeah, and get to go on awesome sales trips - not too mention all the nice free gifts they get.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, its the operational staff that's actually churning out the work (and sometimes its the operational staff that has to try and explain to the customer: "sorry sir, that cannot be done" because the sales guy sold waaaaayyy too much...
Florian Muller, who spearheaded a campaign against software patents in Europe successfully this year, told the INQ: "What we see here are two parallel initiatives: The community patent regulation would, based on the current draft, simply be a back-door approach to legalising software patents.
I know this is probably going to be shot down - and its not open source - but Windows Sharepoint Services from MS is quite cool and free. I suggest you check it out - its quite customisable and very easy to use.
"ClamAV virus definition distribution model (use of incremental updates, dns txt field checks for new updates, automatic, etc..) -- compare this to the weekly (!) updates of Symantec (or manually updating slightly more frequently) or even some of the "download a big chunk from a centralized location" method of commercial competitors."
Apologies for the stupid question, but how long has ClamAV been in existance? The reason i am asking is because Network Associates started with incremental updates about 3 or 4 years ago...
I can fully agree with this. In my humble opinion the Acer support is most probably the worst I have used. We (unfortunately) use mostly Acer laptops in our organization and we have given up sending units in for repair, and just live with the faults.
The main problem for me is that their first-line support personnel are not trained enough, which means you have to send a unit in to them for repairs for most problems - and this process takes at least a week. This is their call centre in South Africa, by the way.
On the other hand, at my previous company we used Dell machines almost exclusively and I have to say that their support is just fantastic. A previous poster mentioned the Service Tag system which works like a charm and ensures that you are always assisted speedily. Another thing is their turn-around time: on most warranty agreements you get Next Business Day Onsite support - which means they come out to you to fix the problem (be it hardware or software).
Like i mentioned earlier I am from South Africa, and service like Dell's isn't very prevalent here which is most probably why I was so impressed with them.
I am going to have to pass on your advice here. I am not going to give up what i love doing, just so i can get a GF. If and When i get a decent GF, she WILL accept my hobby and me for who i am, or she will have to take the road.
My job\hobby\whatever is what defines me, in my opinion - its what i do. If the girls don't like it , they can take a hike.
Now, obviously these type of women are very few and far between, but until i find one, I'll use Mrs Palmer and her 5 daughters:P

I'll just make them.

I can only ask why that was posted, and what MS DRM has got to do with a new ATI Video Card with liquid cooling?
