BBC News - 'Cloud computing' first for the Highlands

I'm resurrecting this thread to say I think we should have an official IRC channel!

Google Chrome netbooks are being targeted directly at education and for good reason. Initial press reactions to the Chrome-book are enthusiastic ... with two caveats. These are: ‘it’s a bit expensive for an empty book isn’t it?’ and ‘great concept … maybe too soon?’. Nonsense, the Chrome books will save education an absolute fortune and render existing ICT models obsolete: here’s why. The complicated bit: renting not buying. School ICT write-down costs are done on a 5 year cycle, or should be. So, given a stock initial capital valuation of £100,000 that would represent about £20,000 per year depreciation. Of course historically few schools budget ICT this way and now have a shed load of near obsolete kit with running XP with no capital to replace it but needing an army of technicians to keep it going. Google may have found the solution by offering a rent deal on their net-books. It all depends on the final monthly price offered to education (what price a generation of Chrome lovers?) and how long you have to pay before you get it to own it whether or not this is going to work. But even so, taken in the round moving to rented netbooks should save enough per year to rent quite a few and at the same time free schools of the awful burden of maintaining let alone replacing complex ICT inventories. I estimate real TCO reductions are in the order of £70k for a school of a thousand pupils. My calculations tell me that, if Google can do this, a £11 per month rent and 18 months to ownership would enable schools to change to a sustainable, simpler and better way of computing. Chrome will bring about the ICT revolution in schools. - Spannerman's Edublog

Oh OK sorry everybody.

I know we don't discuss salary but is that missing a 0? Do you work 1 day a week?

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip! Can't believe they cancelled that!

Yes like that then as long as the person doing the sifting see's those magic letters you will be OK. You can explain further at interview if there are any questions on it.

I would put MCTIP (MCSE Equivalent) so your application is not binned.

If they don't know what a MCITP is do you really want to work there?

I have to say this though. This is selfish behaviour by doing this you just make other people wait longer. Personally I would not do this.

If funds are limited I would buy this one. It will WoW no problems. XFX HD 5450 650MHz 512MB DDR3 HDMI DVI VGA PCI-E.. | Ebuyer.com

If you look at the SEC IPO filing, the most recent numbers (Dec 2010) are as follows: * 663M registered accounts * 145M connected users * 8M paying users Amendment No 2 To The Registration Statement On Form S-1/A

You can definitely see an evolution from full on nerd with fortran, some hippies with Unix and C, an evil genius with C++, someone who likes to things differently with Perl, Python is a drunk geek, Ruby is for hipsters and PHP is a bit well....
