Comment Internet Utility Protocols are on RFC-Editor (Score 2) 200

I quick a quick search for SLACK on RFC-Editor and found zero results.
SMTP, on the other hand shows 81 results and is used by every internet enabled human to some degree.
Slapping together IRC and Collaboration Web Sites isn't going replace the simplicity or adoption of email.

Should companies use email to track projects? Probably not for anything even mildly complex, but then state that as your scope. Claiming to replace the utility of email just makes it sound like you don't understand the landscape.

Rarely will you ever encounter a job that fits nicely in it's description. Perhaps factory or a very large corporation. Even then, if you hope to expand your responsibility you better show both desire and ability to move off script. If they are so disorganized, understaffed, or generally confused to ask you, then that's an opportunity to prove your worth and help them do better overall. The better they do, the better you will do. If you acquire all those new skills and they don't reimburse you come promotion time, then the worse case is that you just made yourself a much better resume. However, if you're totally out of your depth with something they ask you to help with, you better fess up or you'll screw it up worse and they'll have to fix more than just the first problem.

Remember that time when Google went with a whole new opening page that added all sorts of stuff no one uses?
What about when Drudge Report decided to abandon their highly successful stripped down site for an MSN style just because they wanted to?
Or when McDonalds decided to start making the big mac with gouda and a pretzel bun?

For the love of all things nerdy, stop screwing with things! It not your interface that's causing a drop in traffic, it's your content. So what do you do? You change the interface to something horrible and keep the crappy ad-sponsored shill content? Brilliant!

If you're hoping to become unemployed cause all this work stuff is just too much, keep going.

From the article - By the time the FBI would be able to fully analyze and index malware, it would be for purely historical documentation. By the end of an analysis, the malware would likely no longer have major influence. If that's the case, just buy any old honeypot that never been cleaned off.
