Review the available systems, find out how the erp system you like best works, what are the key data schema and business process flows, and can you adopt them? That is the only way to implement any system, bog standard. This will induce massive change in your organization. But you will adapt and survive, or not. Otherwise you will have to customize the system extensively in a process fraught with peril and that will cost like a mother and could fail too.

My girlfriend was moved from another group into Cambridge Systems when UCCEL bought them and SKK to keep track of engineering documentation, publications and whatnot through the transition. Six months later CA bought UCCEL and laid off everyone over their target salary range, which included her and lotsa senior engineers. Two weeks later she was back as a contractor at +100% pay bump because they couldn't find their pooper with their fingers. Took about 6 months to transition it to Long Island. But since CA still sells and supports ACF2 they must have retained enough to make a go of it.

They don't include most musical info. They don't list the songs (and artists) used in a tv show or movie.. If there is an original song or score, I can drill down the cast & crew and find the musical contributors but even that's not certain. Seems to me if the info is in the credits, it ought to be in the Internet Movie Database. Besides, unless Jeff bought IMDb simply because he loves the movies, Amazon is missing an opportunity to cross-sell music. Also on new tv episodes the episode cast is often incomplete. But on older episodes it's usually complete so perhaps there is some latentcy in getting the data. Anyway, I guess I get more than what I pay for it, and it does have a pretty nice iPad app.

Wouldn't this vulnerability also occur in HTML formattd emails.. Any image or other widget in the msg will give a shout out to the mothership when it's loaded.

Have to reset my clocks after every power outage, which is pretty often.

Ok to be a 1st-gen adopter. I've had my fun & my mother in law will be tickled to get it when I upgrade.

We're not serious about alt energy. T Boone couldn't get transmission lines built for his west Texas wind farm and it's a damn site easier to run towers over land than water.

It was pretty easy for me to spot these... cause I live the FL Keys and they tagged everything with Key West.... mom, internet entrepreneur, teeth whitening, etc. Except for moms, we don't have any of those... especially white teeth...

GM, Ford & Chrysler get a taste on the resale of every one of their used cars... Margin problem solved, bailouts repaid. Yehaw.

We'll be out there on one of the press boats tomorrow, only 1500 ft away, instead of 1 mi for other spectators. Should be AWSOME! Hope to be able to post pix or vid by afternoon.

The linear transformer driver (LTD), that's central to this approach, was created at the Institute of High Current Electronics in Tomsk, Russia. Nice of them to sell them to Sandia....
