  • RE: The Group Account

    I feel that the inability to share ones own purchased digital media either discourages purchasing or encourages downloading of possibly dubious versions. Most people who have bought DVDs or CDs...

  • RE: Practicing Deployments

    Totally agree. Initial deployments should be internal in my opinion.

  • RE: Practicing Deployments

    One of the key parts of this is automation. Automate what you can to make it repeatable. This reduces the possibilities of human error which is something we endeavour to...

  • RE: Data Freedom and Regulation

    I would go so far as to say that some businesses need to evaluate their business rules as well as too often the complexity is poorly understood (even by all...

  • RE: Dealing with Supervision

    That is a very typical repsonse from a micromanager. As I said before, they don't tend to like people to know that they don't have their priorities in order,...

  • RE: Dealing with Supervision

  • RE: Dealing with Supervision

    Sorry if I ruffled a few feathers, but I always question peoples beliefs on why they think software is any more special than any other tool they use....
