Don't remember the title/author, but there was a book where the rest of the galactic universe was relatively at peace because all their planets had only ONE continent, so there was no division of ecosystems on land.

For those that still want to see this, the video needs Flash Player 9, and shut of Privoxy.

Profs:
If you want to ban laptops, then you need to go after cell phones, pagers, and everything else a student can bring in. I don't care about the result, as long as its uniform.
You may be required to change your teaching methods, to engage more students.

Students:
If you can't pay attention in class, it could be that's your problem. You may need to focus on the class and not care what screensavers are running on laptops, since you'll have to do the same thing when you are done with school.
Or gang up on the Facebook students and ask them to be more polite.

Put the desks facing each other, but with a wall at 5 to 6 feet high between each. They can have the privacy they may want, and to ask others opinions, they can call out or stand up.
Or ask them, but be prepared for 1 to say "Open" and another to say "Closed" and 2 to not care.

I guess the flaw is only important enough for submitter to complain about, not to actually do something about. Most likely bad phrasing/understanding by submitter or developer.

When in IT, weekly I'd get a "My document won't print", when it sometimes gets traced back to "Actually, you can't open your document".

I've had problems with some open source projects, and between my explanation or the developer understanding, it was "can't reproduce". Then I submit a test case that repeats it all the time, and developer goes "Oh, that way. Yup, broken", and the fix comes in soon.

Have an artist file suit against whoever filed the DCMA paperwork.
The artist should be entitled to the "lost sales" of the artists work on the same level of damages the RIAA claim.

I had a boss in the "big game animal" category. He bought two seats for each flight. He still was never comfortable, being over 6 feet tall like me.

Not really the cheap you intend, but USA military often removes the RoHS solder for the old fashioned lead solder. They do this because there is a LOT of data to back up the lead solder, and lead-free solder hasn't been studied enough. Their putting trusting something they know (good and bad on lead) instead of an unknown (lead-free).

....."approximately 500 employees. There are 30 people on the IT staff".....
That's a LOT of IT people, from what I've been told. For 120 employees, we did well with 2 IT staff (1.5 on help desk and 0.5 on development).
By that ratio, you'd need a total of 12.

Anyone else think this number is a bit high?

This is about a week late, but I should've said that differently.

You sell software. Maybe your distribution computer has a virus and is putting that on the software you send out on CD's. Customers would be annoyed and call your support/service department.

All the talk will be "It would have been better without piracy", which would unfortunately be correct....

Replying to myself here.

Maybe your web site is just fine, but the computer or system you are using to sell software is putting a virus on the software you sell.
What types of calls does your support/service department get?

"describes all kinds of offenses that don't apply to us"
You don't think it applies to you. Maybe it does. For each complaint, ask yourself "could this one item actually be true?"

Download the site and compare against your archive and see if there are unauthorized changes to your web site.
If you've been in good standing for a while, put one of the old "good standing" pages back up, because maybe a recent change was on the no-no list.
Browse your site with anti-virus on, but remove ad-block, proxy, and all the other things that protect your connection. Maybe your site links to malware sites.
