Im fairly new in the world of IT. How do eye scanners or fingerprint scanners fare?
Will diversity not solve alot of these problems? At least to a certain extent.
And if Linux was used it would also save a hell of alot of money...
\forgive me im not an expert but isn't it possible to secure linux much more than say Windows. Why isn't Linux being presented as a business case by these CIOs?
Maybe you actually live in Amsterdam and you just dont know it.
If I was a stoner I would consider this but, no.
Service tag definitely not mixed up and I tried the name and address thing.
F**k them, ill never give them my business again.
but the last few times I've been put through to india the service was actually better than it was a few years ago when they were just starting out, I guess they've improved their training a bit.
Maybe they have but what good is that if you can't understand them!?
hmmm, I have a Dimension 5000. My hard disk went after two months so I rang them, got through to india. Spent ages with them going through the damn process of checking the physicially broken drive. After all that turns out I have the wrong service tag on my machine.
Hung up.
Rang later to sales and was put through to some other department to try and sort out this service tag issue. On hold for 45mins. Guy picks up. I explain problem. He refuses to accept that im not from amsterdam and that I am in fact from Ireland. after varying degress of shouting he eventually puts me on hold (15mins- Guy must have went for a coffee) while he checks with someone else...
He comes back and says I must be from Amsterdam???! I say "No, im f**kin not.
Puts me on hold (Another coffee) while he checks again. Comes back and says "I must be from amsterdam" The guy wouldn't listen. He kept interrupting me while I tried to explain. Asked to speak to boss and she goes "You must be from Amsterdam". I explained the situation calmly and promptly. She put me on hold while she checked... Then I lost the line.
Im going to have to go through this whole process again. And in the meantime I have a workstation with a f**ked motherboard.
On another note, I have an inspiron notebook. Screen went. They collected it that day and had it back in two days. Great service. Pity they can't be more consistent.

As it says in the forum, Firefox is a browser for the masses. Many people still have 98 boxes at home.
Any chance of gettin' one of those invites??
