If you don't KNOW what's going on on your network you're a fool. There's no such thing as a responsible employee.
Except your confusing the type of traffic with the content of traffic. (Web browising vs Porn Browsing)
Paranoia is fine if you have an unlimited budget, and your employees don't merely avoid your expensive monitoring equipment anyways. (Laptops, wireless connections, etc)
You can't point fingers and call names unless you know the situation. If it costs more to monitor employees from stealing pens and making personal copies on the copier than it costs you in pens and toner, it's not worth the cost in dollars and employee morale.
Your right, that the Friends are probably overpaid. But they exploit the nature of network telivision. They pool the largest possible audience. They are constantly looking for that giant 'hit' that greater than 50% of the viewing audience will watch.
Well, no. The Friends are paid inline with the revenue they generate - and that's what I'm getting at.
Since when does decreasing revenue mean that you can continue to have the same expenses? Reduce your expenses, and you can continue to survive with decreased revenue.
Therefore, decreased ad revenue isn't the death of ad-based TV, but the death of spiraling expenses in the ad-based TV world.
If you had the opportunity to do the whole thing over from scratch, of course, you'd use Linux boxes at all the displays (reliability, remote configurability by easy scripting, license costs of Windows adds up fast)
I'd chalk it up to a lack of knowledge. IMHO, OS/2 was available, and should have been used in those situations. Like ATM's.
The Band Director got an angry letter from an elterly Jewish woman who nearly had a heart attack when she saw "Gestapo" and the "Gasmaster" standing next to each other. He was going to make them change the names, but since this was sort of a one-time freak occurence in another state, he dropped it.
Ahh like when the band Slaughter came to town, the Hotel hosting them didn't want to put their names on the sign with the other conferences they hosted that weekend:
Do you honestly think that encouraging/. readers to procreate is a good thing?
What's weirder?
Me (A handsome, manly, muscular, sexually satisfying geek) playing games with my kids, or walking into Chuck E Cheese all by myself to play video games?
Unless the kids came bundled with the spouse, it seems like you might wish to review the credentials of the medical practitioner who performed that vasectomy.
No, they're completely seperate points - for those of you who may have sex irregularly, yet still have your own kids.;)
That's one theory. Another theory states that the moon is a leftover chunk of a 10th planet that used to exist between Mars and Jupiter. That planet was destroyed in some major event, and its remains became the asteroid belt as well as several moons.

2007 - Did you forget what you said in your high school cafeteria in 1998? Don't worry, Google now has it indexed.
And you can point to IRC funnies: (Nobody has seen Zygote in a while..)
<Havok> You mean you didn't know about Zygote? <Stephen> Know what? <MoreDruid> Ha! He doesn't know? <Stephen> What? What is it? <Havok> Not that it's a big deal, I thought everyone knew. <MoreDruid> He's gay. ** Zygote joins #descent <Stephen> Zygote never told me. <Zygote> told you what? <Stephen> uhhhh
The truth is that trickle down would work, if the upper 1% spent all (or even most) of their money. Since they can't, trickle down is doomed to fail, as is the economy unless money starts flowing *out* of Eisner et al, and into the general economy...
I thought trickle-down was meant for BUSINESSES and employees, not individuals and consumables.
A business CAN use $700Million to grow it's business. I would agree that an individual would not be able to spread it around as efficiently. I don't think the premise is flawed because you're looking at an anomoly.
You know, Ximian's main product used to be a darn good GNOME desktop...
I've never really understood the desktop thing. It's a place to put icons for programs;)
IMHO, the Novell/Ximian deal brings a Linux version of Zenworks into the fold - and a good desktop team (whether or not they work on the Gnome desktop is not a big deal to me).

Time is also money. Open Source is great, but doesn't address employee morale. Of course, neither does commercial software.
IMHO, active employee monitoring on-par with allowing drinks at your desk.

You can't point fingers and call names unless you know the situation. If it costs more to monitor employees from stealing pens and making personal copies on the copier than it costs you in pens and toner, it's not worth the cost in dollars and employee morale.
Next time, hire responsible employees, and you won't have to waste your time and money monitoring them.

I'll answer your question with a question:
How much will each "Friend" make per episode?
Ahh like when the band Slaughter came to town, the Hotel hosting them didn't want to put their names on the sign with the other conferences they hosted that weekend:
Wisconsin Pig Convention

Slaughter
What's weirder?
Me (A handsome, manly, muscular, sexually satisfying geek) playing games with my kids, or walking into Chuck E Cheese all by myself to play video games?
Yep.
- 10 years in June.
- 4 kids as of last july.
- sterile as of last june
The trick is to knock-up your High School sweetheart.Oh! That's two 'conventions' squashed in one post. I didn't go to college, there's three!
Oh, my first was born before we got married, there's four!
Oh, and as a geek: I didn't get my ass kicked in school, there's Five! :P
No, they're completely seperate points - for those of you who may have sex irregularly, yet still have your own kids. ;)
How about YMMV, I cut the grass the next day (walk-behind mower).
Oh, and no drugs. Must have been all those electrical shocks I've gotten over the years. ;)
- You have regular sex (vasectomy is suggested in these cases - no, it doesn't hurt you wussies)
- your wife will make sure all of your 'junk' (yes, we all know it is) is in the basement or the attic - where it's definitely out of sight.
- You get kids (yes, they are fun)
- You get a housekeeper (ok, help with houskeeping)
- You get a friend for life
Of course, some of the key points are based on finding the right man/woman - which I guess means cleaning your place up.How is this insightful?
Hmm If i were a voting machine company, wouldn't I donate to WHOEVER was in office to get them to use MY machine in the next election?
It's the Slashdot conspiracy effect! All theory, no logic!

Oh thanks man! Exactly what I need
More addiction to IRC.
At least I own a house now.. My wife used to get pissed at me in our apartment when I'd be up at 2am giggling..

Obviously you've never seen Lilo and Stitch. Everyone knows alien biology can play analog music.
I must disagree. I've been doing dual NAT's for years for banks.. My box of choice? DOS-based IProute.
We're not talking rocket science, I'm sure Cisco can out do a DOS app.
YEah, but men generally like PRACTICAL things. Women generally like shiny things (not toasters people!).
Men get: TV's, DVD's, tools (arcade games!)
Women get: rings, necklaces, facials (shoes!)
Yes, Happily married for 10 years. TYVM.
