The Truth About Computers

Interesting IT Solution
As part of the ongoing cost-cutting exercise, we are proposing a major change to our Laptop/Desktop policy and a further move towards a paperless office.
The goal is to remove all laptop computers by January 2008 and all desktop computers by February 2008.
Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch.
Technical Justification:
1. No boot-up problems
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
4. No more worries about power outages.
5. Budget savings on upgrades huge.
Frequently Asked Questions from the Etch-A-Sketch Help Desk:
Q: My Etch-A-Sketch has all of these funny little lines all over the
screen.

No More CompUSA
After closing over half of their stores earlier in the year, CompUSA is now closing the last 100 stores they were trying to keep open. CompUSA has long been a place to purchase computers, parts, and accessories but has had a rough time being profitible. It's unfortunate that this is happening because it's one less competitor to Best Buy and Circuit City - it's direct rivals. Although there are other online stores to purchase parts from, these stores offer convenience, and one less rival usually equals above average prices.

Don't Be Bullied By Big Business! Counter False Copyright Infringement Claims
Instead of being bullied Mr. Knight used this little known letter to stand up for himself. To see the Slashdot story: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/13/2028206 Below (between the lines) is a sample DMCA Counter Notification Letter that was drafted by Dave Touretzky and used by permission and can also be found on his webpage: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Terrorism/form-letter.html |
Slashdot had a story today about someone named Christopher Knight that was charged with copyright infringement by Viacom two weeks ago. He had a clip on YouTube that was taken down after this charge, but recently the clip was back up on the site. Apparently what happened was that Mr. Knight wrote a "Counter Claim Letter" to YouTube and it was determined that Viacom had no right to make this charge. Justin Hall
