Hi All
I have managed to get the attention of the head if IT for the company I work for (a global engineering consultancy), regarding the companies plans to include macs as part of our IT infrastructure in the near future. We currently use windows XP on all machines connected to our network, so I figure an upgrade of the network must be coming sometime soon. At the moment there are no plans to even consider macs in the near future.
I would really like some good arguments to put to him regarding why mac's should be allowed on our company network and should form part of our IT systems.
So far I have come across articles suggesting that he should evaluate TCO, Security and downtime - But some decent studies along these lines would be good to send to him - or some applicable examples of how macs have been integrated into windows networks of greater than 2000 end clients.
Any suggestions, links or arguments that I could put to him would be great.
Thanks for the help.

Hey people, it's inflation, get used to it. The price of everything is going up in case you live under a rock and haven't noticed.
So how much is that regular contract going up? Oh yeah, it's not. ie. it's not inflation, it's them doing it because they can nickel and dime you. Coming soon, they'll charge you per minute for calling customer service...

Android and the fact at least in my area is that Verizon is going LTE, Apple's not putting out an LTE model till next year. Also with Verizon in our area there too busy dealing with FiOS which has been a disaster and upgrading there network.
With that said I have more confidence in Verizon bringing on faster speeds that AT&T.
To buy or not to buy the white iPhone 4 or stay with the 3G, Hmmmmmm:rolleyes:

Platelet donations take longer than blood donations (at least an hour longer in most cases). You can donate platelets much more often because your body regenerates them so quickly, in a matter of days instead of months. Some people feel temporarily light-headed after donating blood, which is why they insist that you rest and have a snack afterwards. That happens less often with platelet donations.
One thing I didn't know until recently: A lot of donation centers encourage platelet donation because platelets have a shorter shelf life than whole blood and supplies can easily run low. But if your blood type is O negative (you're a "universal donor") and you volunteer to donate platelets, they'll likely ask you to donate blood instead!
A Whole BLood Donation will take an average of 5-10 minutes once you're in the phlebotomy chair.... An automated RBC (double red cell) takes approximately 25 minutes in the phlebotomy chair - and a Platelet donation can vary quite a bit... dependent on your body mass, pre-platelet count, etc... average probably about 60 minutes.... In automated procedures, donors get saline back during the procedures, which is why the donors feel better vs. whole blood donors who don't receive any return saline....
Red Blood Cells have a usual shelf life of 42 days - Platelets have a shelf life of 5 days... therefore, the needs are very different - All are extremely important! so ....wherever you fall in the spectrum, keep coming back!

I've got an almost 3 year old iphone 3G that has become almost useless because of its sluggishness. I was planning on jumping on the iphone 5 before it was delayed (supposedly).
What would you do if it were you? Wait until possibly next year to get the iphone 5 or go ahead and pick up a 4 now?

Apple does offer something for smaller companies for which a 30% for payment handling might actually be a good deal.

I don't remember paying anything for those. Look them up if you have the time. If I knew how to take just the icon out of the set and post it, I would. Sorry.
Thank you. I was able to go to below link and download them for free and changed it. Thanks a ton!!!

:( I am unable to install wiretap. when I try to unstuff it, it asks to save some preinstall thing in a folder but it says that it already exists. I naturally say save, all three documents. It unpacks, but when i click on it, it tells me that it was unable to locate files. So i am lost at the moment.

i, too, am firmly in the "Notes Haters" camp.
I know that I will get the usual canned response here from Notes fans ("but, you see, it is not just an email app, it is so much more...").
Yeah, they're probably the worst fanboys in the IT industry; "But it can do so much!" yes well if it can do so much, why is it the crashtastic pile of shite that it is today? If it crashes on you, you have to reboot the PC, cos just trying to start Lotus Notes again will give you a cryptic error message.
The user interface is the worst ever ("click that little unmarked rectangle top-left in the mail view to check for new mail!", and, oh, about 10'000 other possible examples of UI idiocy).
The last two jobs I've held have forced me to use this decades-past-it's-heyday trainwreck, and even though I've used it in various incarnations (~R4-R6 and whatever the latest public version is), I would love to know what the people at IBM were and still are smoking. Shouldn't you fix glaringly obvious bugs, from release to release? Do they even employ UI designers at IBM? Do they actually consider things such as optimizing performance, when rolling out a new release?
As far as I can see, the sole reason it still exists, apart from the fact that you can send and receive emails and do scheduling with it (which are the two things most companies use it for today), seems to stem from the veritable ARMIES of consultants and developers that keep on recommending it, ostensibly to protect their own incomes after having spent thousands learning how to develop applications for it.

Pity Isilons suck. Great for IT, bad for the end-user. They support all sorts of protocols, none of them properly.
Better tweak your kernel's delayed ack attribute or you'll be serving data at dial-up modem speeds.

The 8-active FAH Cores answered my question, but maybe it will help someone to know that one client takes care of it all now. This sure is nicer than the beta!
I really hope they get the graphics working with the Macs soon. I find the output from my PS3 so soothing.
EDIT: Back down to 4. Anyone have any insight about what is going on?

I know in 10.4 you can enable the machine as an xgrid client. Can you run the server portion in 10.4 or do you have to have the 10.4 server?
According to this macosxhints article (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050610040807931) you can with a bit of tweaking and some free apple server app downloads.

I don't get why Americans like bigger cars.
So we could make you feel better about yourselves driving small cars.
More likely: In Europe and Asia, the cities were built before cars, so they have narrower streets. In the US, some big cities were built before cars, but most were built for wagon/car/whatever traffic and since there was so much empty space, they made more room for it.
I know, there is empty space in other countries. Got that. I also know that some people think we should live like sardines, but not having to worry about your neighbor's rowhouse catching on fire and burning yours down, or their filthy habits getting you sick is nice. It's also nice to not hear your neighbor flushing the toilet and/or what show they're watching on TV.
Yes, I understand if you live in a 350 year old building made out of 24" thick plaster/cement/adobe walls you won't hear your neighbor. OTOH, you probably don't have to worry about the ground shaking under you.. well, you might have to worry about the volcano nearby exploding into your house or something but.. that's different right?
Anyway, long story short, small cars fit small streets better.
In the US, small cars aren't a necessity, and since they're cheaper to make than big cars, they tend to be sold for those who want a new car but can't afford a bigger car. Aside from the 50s/50s/70s, I don't think size was really seen as a luxury thing - right now this country is choke full of people ashamed to be considered American that would love to have a tiny, really expensive European car to show how not stereotypical fat american they are XD
