Re: Just "a" follower?
There's a difference between the queue of people lining up to see a celebrity and the queue of people lining up to throw rotten vegetables at a bloke in the stocks...
If you're going to visit...
..try and avoid the 10/11 of May this year, unless you like being stuck in traffic behind loads of people going to an event at Astle Park (next door to Jodrell Bank).
Re: MDM @Lusty
The issue is not about working round IT, per se, it's more about breaking company policy.
For what it's worth, I've seen people get fired for breaking company policy at Law firms, big banks and at a large Financial Services company. One was for sending confidential information to a personal email address, one was for losing data on a USB stick and another was for logging on to a transactional system as someone else because they didn't have the rights to do a task themselves.
In all these cases, the policies were set by the companies, not by a draconian IT department stuck in the 60s.
Re: MDM
If you're working in a regulated industry such as Financial Services or Healthcare, your carefree approach to where data goes would probably result in your employer deeming you worthy of dismissal.
Posted in Bacon sarnies can kill: Official
Right.
I would rather die happy with a bacon sarnie in my hands than die miserable without one.
Instant fail

Scroll down to aerial photo of Wollaton Park, Nottingham, England.
Place cursor over photo.
Laugh at link.

If you wear a business mullet...
... what you're saying to me is that you want to be Jeremy Clarkson. Especially if you turn up in an expensive car.
Re: Got one just before Xmas
At the end of the day, 3G was important for my needs. The other choice was for me to go out and buy a tablet (at £x) and still have to pay for a data contract with someone (for £y per month).
I am happy to pay what I paid and as I said, YMMV.
Got one just before Xmas
Wanted a cheap and cheerful tablet with 3G.
Spoke to Vodafone and as a long standing business customer I got it for free, with the data at £15 per month.
At that price I can't complain, and it does everything I need it to do.
YMMV.
Re: It's about the Scots
I believe it was a famous Scots comedian that came out with that originally, but hey ho.
It's about the Scots
I'm blue, in Aberdeen I will die, Aberdeen I will die...
Film?
Charlie Sheen to take the lead role then?
Re: niggles
Actually they try to identify by serial number first. It's only if they can't find one that they move on to other things - and a MAC address isn't guaranteed constant either.

Re: You fail to show the ADVERTISEMENTS!
To be honest, I don't find the ads any more intrusive than the ads on El Reg, but as ever mileage varies.
If you're using it for your helpdesk portal, the users don't see the ads anyway.
Re: Ipad as generic name for tablet
Congratulations on having such an astute child.
Re: End of the world?
It's in bootnotes. No IT angle required. Maybe people are getting used to it.
Re: Don't believe a word she says...
Let this be a warning to you. If you try to be hip it'll tibia over the edge...
Re: Yea well
All consonants? Sound like the Welsh language edition of Countdown...
We'll be round later to collect the money and leave a sheep's head on your pillow.

FWIW
I'm on VM in Nottingham and I'm not seeing these issues. Sorry :(
Re: Not just Apple
That's not how you make Cherry Coke...
HR Departments
Is it just me, or the rose tinted glasses?
Personnel departments used to treat you like a person.
Human Resources departments treat you like a resource.
If sure it was better in ye olde days.
Karaoke
Having been at Spiceworld London 2012 all I can say is "Smells Like Teen Spirit" will never be the same...

Re: what do the earphones sound like?
Yes, I've had the pleasure of Lemmy's monitor mix as well. Trapped between that and Murder One.
Re: Please Stop !!
Tomato ketchup?
Burn the heathen!
Bono Related Charity?
Don't they raise a lot of money and then give next to sod all to the people that need it?
Re: Linux?
As Ben has stated, as long as you can browse the management web page, you're sorted.
Similarly, as long as your Linux based device can be seen by Spiceworks, you can manage/monitor it from Spiceworks
