If you work in a support field, you are on call. I have worked in data and voice engineering since I was in college and have been required to be on call as the systems you maintain are business critical. One job was not paid however the one I currently am with now pays 3 extra hours of normal wages the week you are on call for the inconvenience and every call that comes in from the automated system that requires work you are allowed to take over time on.
These customers rely on their systems to do business so any smart company will pay their employees accordingly to take care of them. Money doesn't help with the pain of being woken up in the middle of the night but you at least get more willing and helpful employees IMO and experience
MMS almost crashed ATT's network along with constant complains that the iPhone strains ATT heavily..... how the heck are they gonna handle VoIP traffic when they can barley keep calls up in major cities?
I am all for this idea and think its great but be real people.
You work for an IT company that deals with clients and new hardware. You are trained on company money and time and you become and asset to them through your relationships and knowledge of their business operations. They do not want you taking the clients you have for them along with the industry and business expierence that they paid you to get and start your own competing company.
So Stanford is now making money off the DMCA takedown notices and the RIAA/MPAA lawsuits.
What crap.
Plus, those fees are crazy. We at my university charge $175 for a user port, residence or admin for life time access on that cable.
Besides having the college students pay $1,000's of dollars in legal fees, now the school is trying to take money from them. Is that what this world has really come to?
Is anyone actually suprised by this? It was only a matter of time since most people are using all the frameworks out there and more than half of the AJAX sites that spawned up arent fully protected by smart coding since its a new technology.
I think this falls under the typical "Which language is better?" argument.
Its all based on the developer. Like it has been posted, if you are working on programming chips and kernel modules, then you its something very useful.
I am a web and desktop developer. I mainly use Visual Basic for desktop because its ease and build times are very key to my application development. Me learning assmbly would be a waste of time, however my friend who writes kernel modules and programs flash chips for on board circuits is a BIG thing for him where knowing how to write a desktop program is minor.
VHS tape sales down Q1 2007!
CDs are old technology. They skip. Their expensive (still). People would rather make their own. I haven't found a CD in quite some time to listen all the way through.
MP3s are in now. Their portable and don't skip and are cheap to buy online. Its not file sharing that is decreasing sales, its just the fact they are easier to pay 99 cents and download online versus going to a store. Finding the CD. Hoping you like it. Etc.
VHS tapes were down when DVDs came out. DVDs will start to dwindle eventually when HD-DVD/BlueRay is standardized and comes down in prices.
Its just trends that the RIAA still likes to focus on as a reasoning for action when that really isnt the only cause of sales dropping./end old information that keeps coming back as NEW
I just called the company I got my HP system from and said I didn't agree with the terms of service of Windows and they gave me like a $100 credit back. Not the full value but hey, its something.
I remember seeing a presentation about Vista and its benefits before its release and the guy stated "Vista no longer has the sleep/suspend problems that hit some XP machines"
Verizon itself would rather you pay $50/month for their internet access (even if its their old 1x network) then allow you to use WiFi on your cell phone. I believe there is only two phones (Both MS based; shocking) that allow WiFi use on them.
I am not sure about any other providers tho. I know myself wont pay $50 a month for data access when my college campus and most of the city has free hotspots. Also a reason why I am switching to a Treo 700 WINDOWS based phone even tho I love palm, becuase of the WiFi.
Go to school man. I had a similar path where I knew a lot after high school, even more than teachers and doing server managment, work on the side for web design and network setups, etc. Going to college not only puts you in the ranking with college graduates but you almost cant get a job without a degree.
I am in my senior year, now I am out looking for a job and a minimum is a 4 year degree for most. I am starting to take certifications which some say are over rated but they again are buzz words in a resume. YOu just need to be able to apply what you learn and use it, not just be able to know what the book says when troubleshooting.
First off, if your client has a problem with its employees going on myspace all day, then they need to watch their staff. Secondly, most people are not very computer/internet savy so when they see it blocked using a simple method such as keyword filtering, they will stop. Put a little message in there that says "An email has been dispatched to your supervisor reporting this attempt to access a forbidden page". Most people see that and no longer will try.
Lastly, you may have to watch their use. I used a simple netgear router on one clients network and block any domain with myspace in it. Simple solution and keeps most people out of the site. More advanced networks, you can watch ther users traffic and visits with Windows Server 2003 and see if they are getting around it using other sites, and just continually block them.
Strange. So much for having 3rd party developers support their phones and produce programs and apps that make customers want to buy their phones and data plans.
Personally, I will never buy another Get It Now enabled Verizon phone. Its expensive. The programs suck.
Ever since I got my Treo and can put my own custom Palm apps on it, the service has been so much better and I have even upgraded to the data plan to use these apps.
Are you kidding?!
Not so much against the DMCA but more to the fact of the guy who "created" it. He is going around telling people their doing it "wrong" and taking down wrong videos of it. How stupid. He needs to grow up and get a life and not cherish the slide like he cured cancer and let people have fun with it. You don't see people suing over the macreana.
Plus, if you technically change a step, are you then not doing the slide and are not violating his copyright?
It still doesnt solve the problem of the user being the worst part of security and problems. Someone runs the wrong code on that mainframe and you might be in a whole new world of hurt. You do save money on repairing a PC but I would perfer to swap out a desktop at an office and get the user back up and running than going and repairing a corporate server that prevents the whole company from operating.
Recently in my county I work at, the county clerk mainframe died. All the clerk computing that used dummy terminals on that mainframe were unable to be used.
Secondly, imagine running all your applications on a remote site off the central server. Again, saving money on workstations but there is terrible slowness over the internet lines.
We have setup a system similar to this that monitors gun shots in my city. I think anything further than that is too extreme and will waste police attention.
Tell her to stop friend whoring her self and stop adding random people and they wont be able to see her private profile becuase she is young.
Countersuit for stupidity
As a software developer, I write software that yes, may contain bugs and holes. My responsibility to my customers is to repair bugs and patches for all my software as part of the selling agreement. Some paid software I release I do take steps to test heavily and will take bugs and patches for security holes but some scripts I have done in my free time I take no responsbility for, esp. when they are done very quick for someone as not part of a paid project.
In my opinion, if you sell software to someone it should do what it is going to. Not have to mess with to fix a bug. If your customer says something isnt working or you find a security hole, the software needs to be fixed as a business practice to your customer.

I could not imagine dedicating that much time into a game and then having any reason to wake up the next morning after you beat it.

Kinda stupid. I rather remote into my laptop with my iPhone and play poker anywhere.
I wonder if it was loaded with downloaded Beatles albums.
I just copyrighted a fart.

Use the NO ROBOTS Meta tag and also, there is even a GOOGLEBOT Meta tag to prevent your page from being stored.

Dear GoDaddy,
Please take down Myspace for poorly designed profiles and the constant server errors when I view girls pictures.
Thank you
