Being surrounded by sysadmins, it's either a sysadmin with a lot of customer experience, or there's a manager that has a lot of people experience. Many of the sysadmins I work with send either very terse or very verbose notes full of jargon

Yeah that's what's stopping me from playing SS as well. I have an older Wii-mote without the Wii Motion+ so I need to buy that in addition to the first party game that will never see a price drop.

The cool thing about IT is that a lot of people don't care what your major is (though admittedly there could be some "must have degree" at large companies). There's CS people, Information Technology, Infosec, Information Management, and mor

Case in point - I saw a vanity plate this weekend that said "Shopper" on it. That's probably an extreme case, but it may provide insight into what influences a heavy shopper.

Seconded. My friends in high cost of living cities make more than lower cost of living in terms of raw dollars, but they don't always make more once you take into account living expenses. EDIT: I meant "seconded" in that you'll obtain your

At a previous job we used scientific words, with the exception that our boss had to be able to spell it at 3am if he got paged. Lots of fun names there, but the best were the HA or failover pairs. Proton/Neutron, Concave/Convex, Diffusion/E

I would say not much, but then I'm a sysadmin, and there's a lot of older folks there. I think more than half my coworkers are at least 40, and most of the rest are over 30. There's very few 20 somethings.

It says it needs Java 6 or 7 + Chrome. So the interface is probably in HTML5 (the Chrome requirement), but the hardware emulators are in Java. You get a tab in Chrome directed at localhost:58888/_emulator/_ide/index.html Coincidentally no n

Could always opt for the scientific notation. "New Li+ battery design - 2,000x more powerful, recharges 1,000x faster" Now you just have to know that Li is Lithium and the + is for an ion.

I think what the OP is trying to say with the quote with traditional volume discounts, you're always getting some additional money per additional unit. With an "unlimited" license, you don't add any additional revenue while the customer add

There's a couple of choke points where you can't take backroads in Austin without going all out of your way. In particular, anything crossing Lady Bird Lake.

Even if they have dark or underutilized fiber it doesn't mean that it's a 0 expenditure. So you don't have to rip up the street, but optics are pretty expensive. That's not even counting a need for new switches if it's not 1 Gbps capable.

In big-co speak that could mean either it's close to free, or they're rearranging their capex to prioritize Austin in order to compete (e.g. someone else isn't getting upgrades)

I agree with this, but there's definitely a market for it. I currently have dual monitors with my laptop on a docking station at work, and I'd love to get an ultrabook. I think right now you have to use the laptop monitor + an external, but

I've used RT before in an IT group, though we were on an unfortunately older version. We had a lot of fun after enabling the "unsafe" queues, such that you can comment and resolve tickets via email. On your phone you can close out a ticket
