Don't be so mean.

Get it?

*sigh*

I have a yellow wood axe (can't recall the brand off hand) with the following imprinted on the handle: "The color Yellow is trademarked..." to whatever company it was. It is absurdities like this that make the world a ridiculous place. But I suppose since none of this capitalist BS means anything outside of our puny little planet, I guess it doesn't have to make sense.

Forget the legal problems with a company solely dedicated to luring other companies into court, why is Righthaven even allowed to be a company? I'm all for capitalism, but if selling sex (something both natural and legal on it's own) isn't legal, how is intentionally trying to harm other companies and their ability to turn a profit? This is the corporate equivalent of parking a van outside an elementary school with the words "free candy" spray painted on the side.

Steel is the most recycled material on the planet. It is also plenty strong for most applications. So my question is, how much does this super-nano-paper cost? That will be key in its success.

Since when did Slashdot start posting FUD from companies looking to tarnish a competitor's product?

This is exactly the kind of planted review I expect to see in an App Store comment section. 50% from the developers, 50% from the competition.

Listen, I have 3 kids who all love to use the iPad and not one of them can't figure out how to navigate in and between apps. They are ages 10, 6 and 1.5 respectively. I'd call that intuitive.

1984 was not an instruction manual.

The rest of the World.

It's all lolcats and forwarded emails from people who swore they received checks from Microsoft, sprinkled with the occasional note to the president (at the time) somewhere along the lines of,

"Do you like me? Check one:

-Yes
-No
-Maybe"

IT isn't about training, it's about being able to find answers and solve problems of a technical nature. Development requires training, although the best developers I know are almost entirely self-taught. The best in IT usually come from other backgrounds, and have an aptitude for technology. The "pure techies" don't go very far. Throw in an MBA, CGA or PMO certificate and you are moving up in IT.

You insensitive... oh, wait.

Because a one-way trip to Mars would mean a requirement to procreate, Zap Brannigan style. Amirite?

...that it wasn't there before. We tend to think of the universe as pretty static, sometimes, and look for answers as if the questions never change. But what if this just showed up? Would we worry? What it if were headed this way?

While you could very well go about manually documenting every piece of the network, and hope it remains relevant and up to date in the future, this could take weeks and add significant overhead to your role in keeping current. I recommend looking into the many auto-discovery tools available from vendors like HP, BMC, Computer Associates, etc... They aim to store everything in a single database (CMDB) and track any changes or additions by scheduling delta-discoveries whenever you deem fit. The initial setup can be a lot of work, but since you know most of the information required by the auto-discovery tools for accessing system information (usernames, passwords, IP subnets, common services, ports...), it should be pretty straight forward for you. In a larger organization where this information is spread around various groups, it can be a lot more challenging.

HP has a product, formerly by a company called Mercury, that I find works quite well. It would at least be a good place to start looking... Link here. Good luck!
