TR's Hot Topic: Will unionization cure IT's woes?
TECHREPUBLIC COMMUNITY NETNOTE NEWSLETTER for February 28, 2006
TR'S HOT TOPIC: WILL UNIONIZATION CURE IT'S WOES?
TOP DISCUSSION: UNIONIZE IT NOW!
Member SQUAREDGE says: "Every two years a new crop of young freshly
studied certs show up and underbid the entire industry. ??? I say we
unionize the IT sphere! I say we apply rules of work that apply to a 40
hour work week and serious overtime. I say we demand $50/hr for any IT
related work, as a minimum. If we join together we have the power to
run this world!"

LAST WEEK'S MOST ACTIVE TECHNICAL Q&A QUESTIONS
TOP TECHNICAL Q&A: NEVER ENDING SHUT DOWN WITH WIN XP
Member JAKE BARTLETT says: "When I try to shut down the computer, it
closes all the applications and processes, and then goes to the blank
windows screen, and says 'Windows is shutting down.' The problem is,
I've left the computer like this for over 8 hours, twice, and around 30
min. or so many more times, nothing happens, it just sits there until
you cut the power, or hold in the power button for a good 3-4 seconds."
