Here's the point you are missing.
How much would your Dad's employer pay if there were NOT a union shop accross the road?
So it's all about competition and competitive bargaining in the end.
And your father did not have to pay union dues to have them effectively represent
him.
Excellent post... However maybe there could be some good out of this.
If I could just make Excel autmatically default the cell allignment to
top, and left justifified instead of the stupid MS defaults, a lot of
my frustration would go away.....:)
Hah! I have exectly the opposite problem.
Our 'network team' (with their CSAs who manage our Cisco routers)
'don't know how'/'are not ready'
to manage the Cisco switches on the blades, so guess who
gets to do it while they get some special training to be 'ready for it'?

Here is the issue no one is addressing. They are not reducing the # of server images, just
putting them on the same hardware. As a System Administrator, I stil have to patch the same # of systems, backup the same amount of data and system images, etc. Not only that, I have to patch the VM software and I have to handle the complexity of bringing down ALL the images in a hardware partition for some patches, firmware, hardware changes.
This doesn't help me at all and involves more work!
An I haven't addressed the application/business complexities of putting the wrong s/w partitions
together on the same hardware partition... etc
How about your chair?
I hate people messing with my chair. It takesa a while to get a comfortable leg height, etc.
I also and very particular about my work area, placement of monitor, etc. A 27" dual-home monitor and
a real keyboard and mouse at a desk and chair the right height for me makes me a lot more productive.
Anyway, how can you release gas without complete embarassment in any open plan office?
If this was on a public beach, I wonder why this is a problem
and why they were not arrested for 'public lewdness'.
Seems like there is one law for the rich and famous and a different
set of laws for the rest of us
I stick with Version 9 which still allows me to play 'some' of my Streaming Radio stations.
I upgraded to version 10 at one time and none of my links would work...
So I went back to version 9 and everything works again.
Back in 1988, the company I worked for moved us all to a new custom built datacenter
which was designed to use the waste heat from an IBM mainframe to heat the building.
Only problem was... the mainframe was back ordered. We had to have floor heaters put in
all our cubes until the 'big iron' arrived.
Nice conccept though.
What's the use of having your Datacenter 10k miles from your customers?
Unless you can make the photons go FTL, you will have ~100ms network
response - as long as the users are in the US/Europe.
However, in a few years, there will be only executives and serfs in the West
so maybe that's a good idea.

Yes, and the HAL 9000 series of computers have never made an error. I'm afraid I con't open the hatch, Dave....

Hey! Leave WordPad alone. At least I can read my Unix text files and not worry about staircasing.
