Let's see, no extra pay, and now every other company that demands 100% uptime can cut the pay of every other IT employee that refuses to live in the datacenter 24/7. Hooray!
Although I like the concept and the relative ease-of-use from an end user standpoint, avoid the iLok. I thought I was having problems with Pro-stools. Turns out it was the iLok driver that was crashing and occasionally bluescreening windows. Narrowed it down to iLok when it caused plugins to crash in other DAWs, including DAWs without evil license management.
Ultimately, people will pirate your software. Remember that it's generally a service problem. You simply need to keep your customers engaged, and offer deep discounts on multi-seat licensing. Have minimal, non-intrusive license enforcement (read: brand the software with license ID, and that's it). Offer site licenses. If that doesn't cut it, chances are your $10,000 software is really $10 software.
"Anonymous is a dangerous threat to national security. They can even listen in on phone calls on secure lines. We must have mandatory validated identification of all users of the Internet and an end to anonymity to protect our secret operations."
The courts routinely dismiss GPS tracking data on phones used as evidence that the driver wasn't speeding because the device isn't meant to be used for that, and isn't precise enough anyway. An officer's radar gun, however, is.
Interesting how my phone's GPS speed reporting matches up far more accurately with measured time between mile posts than those road-side radar signs (Your speed is: ). If that's the same "precise" radar gun technology police use, I'd rather trust the GPS.
Many of those use ultrasonic devices, and even if they do use radar or lidar, they are rarely calibrated and are measuring across multiple lanes of traffic, rather than being pointed at a specific target like an officer pointing a radar gun.
Does your employment contract say all software written by you within the scope of the company's business or your work duties belong to your employer? If yes, then it belongs to your employer. If not, probably not. Ultimately, you created something for work, so roll it out and hope for the best.
For security clearances, they don't care about what you know. Rather, they care about who you know and whether that $20,000 in unsecured debt makes you easy to blackmail.
Print out your blog posts and leave copies in some public space that allows such things. Congratulations, you're now a journalist working for a press organization and not a blogger.
Government IT projects usually end up too big to succeed. The other issue is that computers make processes too efficient, and government departments never eliminate jobs.
Eh, machines of that era required constant manual supervision, and uptime was measured in hours, not months or years. That doesn't negate the fact that many new tech fads are poor reimplementations of technology that died for very good reasons.
It should be justifiable homicide to shoot and kill spammers, phishers, malware authors, and those asshats attempting dictionary attacks against a bunch of pop3 accounts looking for a new spam vector. Any nation that does not enact such a law should be labeled a rogue threat to humanity and be nuked until there is nothing left to nuke.
It's called an air gap firewall. Don't connect shit to the Internet that has no business being connected to the Internet. This means having strict policies in place, such as "connecting an uncertified wifi-capable laptop to the SCADA network shall result in the violator being shot, repeatedly, in the balls or other sensitive region."
For most server workloads, I/O is more important than raw computing horsepower. Ask anyone that has actually virtualized a few dozen machines, or really, anybody that has been in the field for more than "I JUST DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE AFTER FAILING DATA MANAGEMENT 101 TIME TO MAKE A STARTUP CENTERED AROUND NEW IMPLEMENTATIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES EVERYONE FOUND TO BE BAD IDEAS IN THE SIXTIES SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES."
Note: all caps because eliminating lower case and using a limited character set means the nosql database can store 30% more data in the same amount of memory.
Bring back the pillories. Ignore the past 300 years of attempts to make civilization actually civilized. Get medieval on them. Give'em the rack! Lord Mayor Bloomberg of The New York demandeth order! Burn the heretics!

Now I know why the dentist next door goes through so many dental hygienists...
Ethernet took ideas from ALOHAnet, which was a wireless system.
So it turns your zillion dollar ERP system into a Web 2.0-style interactive infographic that makes USA Today look information-dense?
COMPLY!

Those ACME trailers using CRST's logo type? Not suspicious at all.

"on a mobile network" is the new equation plus "a computing device"
It's designed to consume Amazon services. It does that quite well. It also plays angry birds.

I'm lazy, and...
Except with all the math half-way worked out.
Maybe this is commentary on Archive Team?
They killed it in 64-bit land. Bring it all back, even the look of 16-bit windows. Yes, I prefer the old ugly look of Windows 3.1.

So, use TERROR to change public behavior?
