@larand Leaving people like me to clean up the mess when they fail. I have often wanted to pound those types into the ground. They should be liable for the bill instead of the customer I am bailing out.

@phoneboy I have a feeling the current craze of people entering this field for social justice and political reasons is going to bite us hard.
Not everyone is wired to do this. If you aren't at least a little on the autism spectrum and have a true passion for problem solving, you are not going to do anyone any favors.
@phoneboy People who don't take the ramifications of what they do seriously have zero business in this field. That's something that makes me see red.
It kills me that I still have to manually add
/usr/local/lib64
to ld.so.conf on RHEL6
@phoneboy I look at our software from the DOS era and the software we have now and the only conclusion I can come to is, "The price we are going to pay for this flash and convenience is not worth it"
@phoneboy It causes people like me, who's software handles millions of dollars each day and generates paychecks for thousands of employees, have sleepless nights.
That last call does bring up a point.
People are becoming very leery of placing their systems on the internet and I cannot blame them.
The first major attack on the Internet, and it's coming, is going to cause untold mayhem.
"I have a dozen new laptops for field technicians. Do they have to be on the Internet to access the office?"
Oh dear God. It's too early in the day for this sort of thing.
You need to call Dell and explain your situation. Perhaps they have some sort of telepathy adaptor they can install in lieu of the wireless one.
