You probably need a new IT manager.

What the hell is with all these kids thinking people should get off their lawn. Shit I think anyone who doesn't remember the BBS era, and the proper days of file sharing on your local boards and black boxing to foreign boards.... ah forget it. Seriously? You are 26. Sorry the 4chan/facebook/torrent generation scares you, but you 28.8k kids scare ME.

FTP. If this is too difficult for your friends, get smarter friends.

You clearly don't know enough Indians. They are about as materialistic as it gets.

Neither of these things mentioned are innovations. In both cases they're just innovating innovative technology from the west cheaper (the tablet) and on a larger scale (the super computer)

1600x900? Jesus christ, could you get a more useless resolution?

Lol butt hurt ranting No offence, your shitty payment processor didn't fight hard enough for you. I have had several disputes via paypal, and everyone was answered quickly and fairly.

Not true at all. Netapp uses commodity drives running their own weird (magic) firmware. The netapp appliance is aware of where the drives are rotationally at any given point and are able to stage/queue their writes/reads in this way for optimum performance. That is why no Netapp killer has come up in the more than a decade Netapp has been in this game. Don't work for Netapp, don't even own one right now, but they are *wonderful* if you can afford it.

Reminds me of all the forums and services like experts exchange full of indian students and employees asking for help with easily google'able problems and often asking people to complete entire assignments...

These are all things you can learn on your own quite easily with any amount of initiative. IT helpdesk work is not rocket science...

Their unlimited bandwidth host is certainly crappy. Shared webhosting in general is very crappy, the cheap unlimited variant is usually the most oversold and thus the worst.

Um is that an ignorance of what north means or a vein attempt at humour after your million or so above ignorances?

A looser? Good thing basic spelling and IQ aren't correlated...

It's shitty tech, and anyone who thinks it will scale efficiently is deluded.

I really honestly believe that despite your prattle to the slashdot community, for a MILLION DOLLARS a year you would code whatever language was asked of you. If not you are a fool. (And before someone starts in on not everyone is motivated by money blah blah, donate the million dollars minus 100k to charity and heal the world!)
