Don't you guys have a policy that prevents people from stripping 
machines. I've seen a laptop where the prof/Phd student., perhaps in 
wanting a newer machine, disconnected the video cable going from the 
mainboard to the display and turned the unit in for repairs. A new 
machine as given. The memory, along with the HD were gone. And that was 
against the rules.


It really sucks when you buy a pallet of computers at a auction and the 
HDs, trays/brackets and ram are gone. We had one local school drilling 
thru the bottom of the iMac thru the cd/dvd and then the HD. They 
finally bought a big magnet, but I haven't got my hands on one of those 
drives to try them.

I don't know about other places, but our surplus forms are always accurately 
marked as to condition., and they almost always say gutted.

We use damn near everything until there's nothing left to lose (one of the 
BW's we surplused went out sans the top handles because another G4 we were 
working had broken ones.)

A lot of companies are blocking access to various sites that employees 
hit a lot but don't have any business purpose.  Funny how companies want 
their employees to work for them. :)  But another reason stuff gets 
blocked is due to bandwidth load.  One streamed video times how many 
employees turns in to some major MBps.  And while audio isn't nearly as 
heavy they (IT they) might lump it in with the video and block all of it.

Our Starbucks on the corner by the university often has all of that music in
one night !
The barista use it to control the customers ~

That's my theory. I'm sticking with it. They easily control all of the music
and sometimes if they aren't as busy get very creative with the mix. It is
all music provided by the corporation. Starbucks owns the rights of
distribution to a huge variety of genres.

Some combinations can form really strange juxtapositions. Recently I heard a
Bollywood theme ( cats in heat ) backed with Stand By Your Man  ( country
chicks in heat ? ).

When it gets after 10 and the crew has had a hard and steamy night at the
espresso machine they put on music gauged to move out the crowd so they can
get their cleaning done easily and get home. Urging all Mac and PC surfers
and cyber-ludites alike out of the store. And late night ITs fill their huge
travel mugs one more time.

When the company I used to work for put in a new phone system there was 
reportedly a major war going on at high levels over the choice of hold 
music.  Can you imagine what would have happened if we had elevator 
music (if we had elevators).


It goes along with my theory about the freedom of technology.  When 
engineering says there are two ways to build something, use-able but not 
even close to ideal or... worse it's real simple to figure out what gets 
built.  But then technology comes along and lets you make it in many 
ways, all much better than it's predecessor.  At that point management 
starts pouring out of the walls with ideas and suggestions.  It makes 
one long for the good old use-able version.

Yes, it's quite possible that they've blocked it.

Frankly, you should be working while at work, not surfing social

Now be a good little worker: thank your boss for the elevator muzak and
get back to work!

You know, IT people typically don't get ordered to ban stuff until
there's a problem. In your spare time, you might want to hunt down the
putz that ruined it for all of you, and thank him/her/it in some
creative way. Superglue is inexpensive.


C4 is more expensive but, oh, so much more satisfying.


It depends on the IT people and management.  Some IT people will pretty

Here there has long been an Apple Store in the Art department. There
are some iMacs mixed with PCs in building labs around campus. the
library has a few scattered macs. Mostly for media work.

The college of mass media is about 99% mac. With lots of Mac Pros in
classrooms and huge RAIDs on fiberchannel.  The NLE edit suite
machines are awesome. But the audio prof has stuck with a couple of
Quicksilvers (?).

Lots of Macs on campus, and our bookstore is also an Apple store, too,  
but we're about a half-mile away by the hospital on the Health  
Sciences Campus.


We're getting to be more and more mac all the time, in the last three  
days two more professors have told us or inquired about switching.


More and more of our students have nice MacBooks and MacBook pros and  
iPhones have become damn near ubiquitous.
