And the problem is that every new application installed is something else which needs to be balanced in that schedule, and makes the entire IT job more complicated.

A question: how often do you have problems not directly related to the use of the software? I work in a similar situation (thousands of employees/higher ed) with little restrictions (some departments set their own restrictions on their user

You seem to be making a large mistake here. The issue in question here isn't "Upgrade a webapp" or "Only use IE6". The issue is "Upgrade a webapp for one user " or "Make that one user use IE6, rather than add another application to the lis

One thing I would like to point out: Going from 100 hits a day to over 10,000 hits a day does NOT look like regular traffic. If anything, it looks more like bot activity than anything, which is definitely against the ToS, and would be plent

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if your Age, Salary and hours are unique in the table. In fact, I'm relative certain that any two of the numerical fields (family excluded, since so many people had 0) would uniquely identify you, or

There were a few people who put a negative number, but the only one I saw when glancing through only put -1 (I would assume that was another joke number).

Yep, thank you very much for releasing the raw data too. I've just been playing with it a little, but here's some interesting factoids I've pulled out so far: * The only people to mark "Private" as their income had at least a bachelor's deg

Then again, the question is also: Do you really want to hire people who do exceptionally in Academics? From my experience, you will very often see a very intelligent student blow off tests and homework, only to do average in the class, desp

I'm not so sure about this. In high school, I spent the first two years doing everything using a TI-83+ (Algebra II and Pre-Calc). However, when my TI-83 stopped working (and got a TI-89), I stopped using a calculator almost all together. F

There is something very satisfying about construction. Being able to stand back and look at the finished project is something you don't get to do with computers very much, and being able to then walk inside it is just an amazing feeling. Re

This is actually far more interesting than the article. I tried using Rentacoder for a while, but after getting turned down for ~20 jobs, and seeing what someone the winning bids were, I stopped doing that fairly quickly.

It would not (entirely) surprise me to see a large portion of their business model coming from data-sets. Back at the end of 2008, an individual gathered every single Tweet that had been made to that point, simply by trying every possible T

Its rather interesting, but while I agree with the first half, about the trip itself, but when it comes down to it, I live to be online. While there are several things I do online that are superfluous, and tend to slip away after each of my

As far as I can tell, its not the "Open-source" portion that is debated, its the developer portion. I have written a bit of code which I share around (and I think I'll actually start using the WTFPL license on it), but I would never conside

Ever since I was young, my mother and/or Grandparents would take me on a vacation every Summer, where I was completely disconnected from everything going on in the world at wide. I may sneak a few minutes on a borrowed computer every now an

I'm not sure that would be very effective. Judging from the pirates I have known over the years (and, being in college and having come from a highly technology oriented high school, there have been quite a few), this would not serve as much

As someone who has tried cutting keys that way, its a little harder than it sounds. Doing it by hand, from a picture, is rather difficult (took around an hour to make an even close to working key), and while it should be possible to make an

The problem (with UI) is not that Windows developers don't care about it, its that the barrier to entry is very low, and the potential rewards are very high when working with Windows. Because of the market share Windows has, when someone de

The delayed sign up idea seems to be very potent. Rather than having someone dump all of their information into your database right away (which you then have to save, probably for as long as your app is running), you slowly draw the informa

Don't blog for money, blog because you want to write. If you try and make money doing it, you'll either lose heart fast and stop, or you'll start doing the slimy marketing stuff to squeeze every last cent out of the site. I went that way fo

It was a terrible pair programming environment. Pair programming was simply being used to up the average grade of the class (which succeeded). I disagree with saying that constantly distributing knowledge by always pairing is a better situa

Having recently been exposed (by a class forcing us to use pair programming) to this, I have a few insights on pair programming: - Both partners must be fairly versed in the language and methodology of the programming. I think its fairly ex

When I noticed it I found the number to be the most annoying thing about it. It shows a stark contrast between what is popular and what isn't, and I don't care for that at all. I read feeds because I have found the authors to have consisten

I'm a little suspicious of the collection method for the data. While you got 6500 results, when I register for most sites I have a couple of "low security" passwords I use (which I rotate ever 6 months or so), so that whenever I come across

Its funny you mention experts-exchange. Whenever I see that as a search result, its usually a relief. I have yet to see an experts-exchange page that did not have the information I was looking for on it, even though they do make it rather d

I'm a little torn on this whole issue. While I have, for most of my life, supported full disclosure, because in general I feel that proprietary information, of any kind, is bad (for society, not the person controlling the information), rece

This was my reaction when I saw the article come up. Cracking WEP is rather old news. If they were doing an article for any reason other than just trying to drag a few users to their site, they should have done an article on WPA/WPA2 cracki

While I have no evidence to support this, I would guess this has to do with the editing process. Comparing this list to http://top.searchyc.com/domains , you see a lot of similar results. The difference is that some of them have quite a lo

I would start with the email. Headers store quite a bit of information, and can usually tell you where the email started from. Start by contacting whoever the email originated from. Unfortunately, its rather easy to get beyond the range any

While the control issue does have some relevance, I think that Omaha is definitely a step in the right direction. I typically put off updating any of my products, simply because they notify me about it instead of just doing the update in th
