From Thread: Using Your Users As a Tool Old Wed Feb 21, 2007 7:42:43 AM

»Using Your Users As a Tool

If you work in IT, you should read this article. It's a little long, but worth it. The article makes a lot of really good points, and puts into words what many of us should have already realized. Here's a few highlights: http://www.cio.com/archive/021507/fea_user_mgmt.html?page=1

Quote

"The consumer technology universe has evolved to a point where it is, in essence, a fully functioning, alternative IT department. Today, in effect, users can choose their technology provider. Your company’s employees may turn to you first, but an employee who’s given a tool by the corporate IT department that doesn’t meets his needs will find one that does on the Internet or at his neighborhood Best Buy."

“Never use security and compliance as an excuse for not doing the right thing. Never use these as sticks or excuses for controlling things. When you find that people have broken rules, the best thing to do is try to figure out why and to learn from it.”

"Successful companies will learn how to strike a productive balance between consumer IT—and the innovative processes for which employees are using these tools—and the need to protect the enterprise. This will require CIOs to reexamine the way they relate to users, and to come to terms with the fact that their IT department will no longer be the exclusive provider of technology within an organization. This, says Smith, is the only way to stay relevant and responsive. CIOs who ignore the benefits of consumer IT, who wage war against the shadow IT department, will be viewed as obstructionist, not to mention out of touch. And once that happens, they will be ignored and any semblance of control will fly out the window."

"IT needs to learn how to strike a similar balance. Corporate IT isn’t going to go away, and neither are the systems that IT has put in place over the years. But a CIO who doesn’t develop a strategy to accommodate the shadow IT department will be employing an outdated and (more important) an inefficient business model. And, like the HR department that ignores the informal relationships in a company, the CIO might lose sight of how his users actually work. Corporate IT thereby loses its authority and, eventually, the CIO loses his job. It won’t happen quickly, but it will happen. As Anderson puts it, “It will be like getting nibbled to death by ducks.”

From Thread: More Patent BS Old Wed Feb 21, 2007 5:58:34 AM
There is a new news item posted at »ASE Labs

»More Patent BS

It seems that the US is so crazed with patents that if American companies infringe patents in other countries, the company can be held liable here. <a href="http://news.com.com/2100-1014_3-6160840.html">I thought that the other countries must deal with their own problems</a>. Screw patents and copyrights.

Quote

"It's go to Canada, go to wherever you're going to go, so that your conduct--shipping software around the world in a global economy--is not being subjected to this United States rule," said Joseph Miller, a law professor at Lewis and Clark College who filed a brief in support of Microsoft at an earlier stage of the litigation. Microsoft petitioned the Supreme Court to weigh the issue after a federal district court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit both found the company liable not only for violating AT&T's patent in U.S.-assembled computers but also in those abroad. The software giant has conceded that Windows software object code, after being supplied to manufacturers and installed on computers, gave users the ability to record, store and play back speech in a way that violated AT&T's patent.

I suggest that there is a small forum at the bottom of the page where users can BST (Buy/ Sell/ Trade). It is a very helpful feature that I think many members (including myself) could benefit from.

I wasn't aware of that. Do they also plan to create an 'ark' of all animals bred by Man too? Then we could extend it to as many animals as possible...

From Thread: Broadband Adoption Will Reach Over 50% Old Mon Feb 19, 2007 5:54:50 AM
There is a new news item posted at »ASE Labs

»Broadband Adoption Will Reach Over 50%

In 2007, the US will surpass the 50% mark for broadband adoption. <a href="http://news.com.com/2110-1034_3-6160422.html">Now we just need service to match what we are paying for</a>.

Quote

U.S. residential broadband penetration is expected to exceed 50 percent in 2007--and the U.K. isn't far behind. By the end of 2007, more than 60 million U.S. households will be connected--around 55 percent--according to market researcher Parks Associates. During 2006, broadband subscriptions grew by more than 20 percent in the U.S. and by the end of the year around 50 million households had fat pipes.

I have a Toshiba PPC, but I hardly use it. It's fairly old. I only bought it because I got it for a good price. But, I haven't had any problems on the rare occasions that I do use it.

I don't think so. I think they'll get out a SP quickly because I think some people are waiting for the first service pack to come out to buy the OS.

At least, that's what Microsoft may think.

From Thread: Is there anything wrong in the world of science? Old Sun Feb 18, 2007 2:37:10 AM

Said By Melizzy

Yes, there is something wrong in the world of science. It's called stupidity. Aside from driving in diapers and being a child molester, there is something wrong in that they (scientist) have been unable to over come the ignorance of those who believe that Global Warming is a farce. They need to break it down to a simpleton level for those who actually think that Global Warming means that the entire world is just simply getting hotter and how can that be with the snow going on in the midwest?


To the best of my knowledge, scientists are indeed warning us of a climate change due to human activities. The ignorant people you are referring to aren't scientist.


P.S.: Nice to see you here, Melizzy. Smile

Well after filing away at the plastic on the connector I managed to get the new heatsink to fit correctly without hurting anything, and as it turned out my instability problems were being caused by my motherboard which acts like a total bitch if i plug anything into the USB plugs ><. That actually made sense since about a week back I wasn't able to charge my ipod through them...So anyways now I'm going to pick up a new mobo, and not an asrock this time.
