With all the ids, personal info and bad practices of student users these days, maybe you can offer some form of identity management to them. Set up a web SSO solution (OpenID and a portal?) they can use as a portal for everything else, educate along the way as to why they should use this and let them see where their information goes. It could be useful and educational.
in the wild, any non-benign deviance from norms will get crushed, likely killed, by the alpha betas (RotN callout anyone?). So one could imagine that the female casting the net wide for favors was actually much safer when the behavior was likely to have emerged. Google did not deliver any similar studies on chimps, gorillas, etc.
from the colors to the little "x" in the rounded edge search box, strikes me as very mac like. Very interesting considering the other cozying up Apple and Google have been doing lately...
Step 1. Begin compiling some huge thing (tm) during your screen session. Step 2. Spend all day doing other things as compilation is off in some hidden window in screen. Step 3. Check on compiling every now and then, you will be able to scroll back and forth as needed as if you'd been sitting with an xterm open the whole time. Step 4. Leave work for home. Step 5. Reattach to you screen session and check on your compiling some more. Step 6. Realize inner peace knowing you need not worry about where you started some long process ever again by using screen.
I've found the people at the very top are either very good people (stay there if they are) or *very* bad people (brush up your CV if you find that). Find some way to connect with them. Any way. Get a channel open. Then use it as little as possible for business. But make sure everyone know you have it. People will get out of your way and bend more easily to your will if they simply believe you can turn to the top and expose them at any moment.
Once you have that, follow the doctor/google idea: do no harm. That will make you people love you. Reasonable people will always understand you making business decisions if you show you're out to do them no harm and that you have some power to lend them (from the first point) and, finally, if you tell them what you're doing.
In Germany, at the start of major industrial thinking, they did an experiment. They called in all the workers, and told them that some scientists would be playing with things at the factory and that there would be changes. Then they called them in and said that they would be raising the temperature at work - then productivity went up. To be sure, they called everyone in and told them they would be lowering the temp. They lowered it, and productivity went up. "Odd," they thought. This went on and on with them calling meetings, making changes and having productivity go up. Finally they started interviewing the workers at length about why they were working harder and why they felt they were being more effective. They all said they liked how they felt the company kept them informed of all the plans...
While I don't remotely agree with you, I think it's horrid that you've been modded a troll. An act of blatant prejudice (of the intellectual flavor) that only proves your point about many who claim science as rational *and* moral high ground.
The irony is that science involves just as much faith as any religion (from a philosopher's point of view [i.e. my own], science and religion are hardly different systems at all). As you point out (awkwardly), the theories require a belief structure that eventually boils down to an epistomological faith in observation and testing. Too many ignorantly claim science is somehow deviod of or superior to faith systems like religions, when in truth it's just another example of one.
People don't switch because of their apps not being availible. If they get used to apps that are on many platforms and OSes, then they can switch with no loss at all.
speaking as one of those guys trotted out into the field by sales guys to do demos, I couldn't agree more. I find that the less I've talked in a demo, the better things are. The best demo people are those who don't have something canned, but rather have a whole array of little chucks of stuff they can show. They then talk to the clients, listen to what the real needs are and then show the most relevant chunks from their tool box.
I think the idea is that the type of user we're talking about is not likely to be compiling from source. If deb or rpm gave the same sort of freedom as your average configure script, then we'd be on to something...
McDonalds, last I knew, had thousands of terminals running SCO in their locations. Retail is their biggest presence. I also used to work somewhere (a non-profit) that had an old Informix database running on an even older SCO box.
...for LinuxWorld at Javits when Tux is Agent Smith (the only character I cared about by the end) and he turns every copy of windows he finds into himself.
And then they can change the ending so the spoof can be *better* settled than the original...
right now, the world needs ways to bridge peoples in all places and allow them to discourse if all the violence - from *anyone* - has any chance to stop. Talking to my next door nieghbor on the web not only makes me *much* less likely to be exposed to different viewpoints and ideas, cultures and moralities but also keeps me in my comfort zone since I don't need to worry about what common ideas we may not share about any given topic. After all, it's hard to see something differently standing shoulder to shoulder looking at it together.
If he can afford LCD components and othre tech-weenie toys why not just buy a car? sheesh.

Look at processors. Sun leapfrogged HP, DEC and IBM with Sparc way back when. HP came back and did it to all of them; now IBM. In technology, there is always a feature/power/flexability leapfrog cycle where one vendor (including MS) pulls out ahead, and then later on another does the same. No news there...
This is a phone that has shipped before it's finished. Microsoft see their Smartphone OS as a way of stopping Symbian getting a hold of a platform that they don't yet control and for this reason they've rushed it out.
Everything he says and I've heard from other points to this. It's actually nice to see M$ so scared that they're using their clout to scare companies into making bad moves like an early release of something so flawed. If they keep that up it will be all the more easy to watch the monopoly meltdown. not that I want to see them fail completely, but some real competition (read: some real reasons for quality user focused software) would be nice.
They just lowered the two flags outside my office window to half mast. The US flag and the NJ state flag. I didn't expect that. I just keep trying very hard not to cry, and that's making it harder. Technology seems very trivial this morning.
I work for a software company. We sell stuff you can (mostly) get for free or do yourself. Basically, I think people spend the money because with high price tags come high accountability. They get support and upgrades and all the other commercial perks they are used to. Not to say the free and OSS approaches do not provide this, too; but that is the perception. Or, at least, the perception is that they could be there now and disappear tomorrow if you don't pay for it. I think most of the same applies to build projects too, just with different parameters...
I went to satisfy curiousity, and thought I'd leave after 20 minutes. I stayed for two hours until I absolutely had to go and had a great time! Man, what a difference in conversation when most of the people you're talking to have clue 1 as to what the hell you're talking about! I'll be going most every month I believe.

I also will endorse this. It works very well.
