So darn cute you are....awesome:D:D:D

Aww muffin....

I am so very disappointed in you. You come out of your burrow to grace us with your wisdom and THIS is all you got?

Surely someone of thy wisdom would have something better than this?

Keep trying. I know you have one or two more responces in you!

If Puck is selling 99% uptime he had better be on call 24/7, and that would be a company I would depend on if he can deliver.

Last employer also sold 99% uptime, the owner and half the techs where on call 24/7. My current employer sells 99% uptime and 24/7 support.

A 10,000 ft comment on this general idea....

To put it in simple terms... 99.999% uptime (5 MINUTES of down time a year) can be done. It can. But it is REALLY expensive. Think about what you are asking for there? Its not just a fault tolerant server you are asking for. Its a fault tolerant switch, power supply, internet connectivity (on the same DNS name) etc... It can be done. Its just not for most clients.

IT is WAY more complex than the average end user understands. Its not 'magic' that makes Pet Talk appear on your screen or your email show up in your inbox...

While I was trying to dumb it down for certain members, but I was hoping I was at least 7,500 feet.

It just ain't that damned important.

Work is work, home is home, and the two don't mix.

I want my phone to be a phone, I want my computter to be a computter.

You may not need to bring work home but those who own their own business may. If you are a self-proprietor who really cares about their business, this type of thing will come in handy. If you have a 9 - 5 job, no, you wouldn't need it.

So do touchholes, but yours seems to be on the go 24/7/365. Might want to give it a rest.

You may be your own man, but at least I don't defraud insurance companies to pay my bills.

Union Free America

Union Corruption

The sad fact is that many unions are infiltrated by organized crime. Not all unions or union officials are corrupt. In fact, the vast majority of union officials, especially at the local level, are probably decent law abiding people.

But unionism is about power and "power corrupts" so there are plenty of examples of union corruption. Keeping your fellow workers aware of them is a good way to influence them against getting involved with a union.

The National Legal and Policy Center does an excellent job of monitoring and reporting on union corruption. They publish a twice-monthly "Union Corruption Update" that is absolutely loaded with examples of union corruption in almost every union. The archive of the "Union Corruption Update" is available online and you can search it by union or state.

This page takes a little navigating. Click on "Organized Labor Accountability Project" and then on "Union Corruption Update" to find the information.

If union corruption is of interest to you, send NLPC an e-mail asking them to send you "Union Corruption Update" on a regular basis.

LH, I may be down on unions but my comments earlier in this thread are no where on the level of Wom's.

I will say this. The union member mentality of, I wouldnt be where I am today without my union. Vs the entrepreneur mentality of, I wouldnt be where I am today without my own ambition. The entrepreneurs mentality is simply more in line with my own.

My opinion of the local union leaders is pretty dang close to Wom's however. Ive also met union members making top wages getting the peach jobs because of how long they have been paying dues, and not for how well they do their job. The union rules are also very foreign to me, why send 3 people, 3 separate times to do a job 1 man in 1 trip could do?

The Mac users on this forum, you are the minority, IME, of Mac owners/users in general.

Of course

1 man to spend a day doing the 1 hours work.
The other 2 men to intimidate the client in case he doesn't like the quality of the job.

As a non union electrician, and now a paid to do whatever I do with computers/networks. What Wom said makes no sense.

Like I said this Union Speak/mentality makes no sense to me.

The Mac Cult of Personality makes even less sense to me. The Mac fanboy notion that by owning a Mac makes one smarter, actually increases my IQ two fold over them.

Actually it makes a lot of sense.
Unions have a long history of corruption, fraud, bullying, intimidation and holding hands with the communist party.
And none of that is connected to workers rights, it's all about their own pocket, political persuasion and power struggle....period.
Want proof ??? Google it.
I've seen too many good men with families end up with nothing because of them.
No one owes you a living....no one.

Broad brush, put it down. The splatters from the excrement you're trying to spread are covering you,

Broad brush ???
Fact brush.
And I'm not spreading anything that hasn't been spread a million times in the past.
The truth hurts huh ???

There's no truth in what you're spreading. THere's corruption in every human endeavor, Unions ar eno different, because people run Unions.

However, the line of BS you're spewing, that all Unions, Union members and Officers are part and parcel of corrupt practices is about as true as your statements about your insurance fraud not affecting anyone in the states.

WOm, you're more full of excrement than a thanksgiving turkey.

Now I'm truly confused...

I've had many, many arguments with Liz and ES on political issues. Now that there's a small sense that we're coming from the same side on one issue, we're mates?

Wom, you're nothing more than a braying donkey. (My apologies to anyone who owns a Donkey for a pet)
