Airlines are required to capture your birth date and other personal information. I believe this is all part of Real ID. They do this to prove that you are really you and not some kind of terrorist.
Also, you need to take your shoes off.
Believe it or not I still buy CDs. It's nice to "import them into Windows Media Player using the protected WMA file format" and still have a CD on my shelf that give me that old school music library look.
I recently came across InfraRecorder and was impressed.
Word along with its other MS Office friends is installed on every desktop at work. Everyone knows how to use it, and because of this its the standard. People use it to write documents. The most important thing is that Word is used to write official looking documents. These documents are emailed around, posted on various sharepoints, copy-pasted into something else, and revised.
Just think of this part in the Hudsucker Proxy except in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Sugar is a great interface for new users, but it is way too different from what is out there already. M$ has established what a computer interface should look like. Even GNOME and KDE have elements that are similar to Windows. The decisions to buy into these laptops are being made by people that use a windows interface. When they see an XO, they see a toy not a computer. To them a computer has to have some kind of menu and windows.
It depends on the state, but one reason to track mileage is to detect odometer fraud.
The Bill Gates Borg icon should be used with this story.
But seriously this is cool, but is an AI running on a nero-optic processor alive?
It's always nice to see new tools in the toolbox. I just wonder what kind of edit wars we can look forward to seeing. Could they be like this?
We are big on SLAs. Department directors have to sign off on an SLA before IT will support their stuff. Actually this is how IT gets it's budget.
For example, marketing comes to IT and asks for a service like sales tracking. After figuring out what they want we give them a quote with SLA and how much it will cost. After buildout there is a sign off and the service is available for use. To the users there is no concept of hardware of server. They just know if their stuff is working or not. I mean they are marketing people. Any problems that occur are tracked by our ticketing system, and its just a matter of tracking resolution time, incident severity and number of incidents. All of this is defined in the SLA. Resolution time usually comes into play when looking at service availability, and in the incident review process for high or critical outages.
For our team individual performance usually comes down to how well we contribute to the team. My review is not that much different from a kindergarden report card. "Plays well with others" is now "Maintains positive relationships with external partners"
Sounds like a multipass.
Until an email is sent to the data center distro list asking if someone has seen one of the iron mountain containers that usually end up being found in a closet or something. But a lost box of tapes is easier to deal with then data sitting on a hard drive connected to the rest of the world.
To me a more realistic version of urban farming would be small gardens on the balconies of the sunny side of a high rise. Then the condo board could have a little farmers market in the lobby. This would depend on the willingness of the residents to work their little gardens. I guess you could get a break on HOA fees if you produce a good supply of fruits and vegetables.
Just wondering. I always found the Linux lacking when compared to the premium graphics client under wine.
