BusinessRe: Is Google Going Too Far? by runsaway: 9:08am On Jul 10, 2006
there is no harm in trying everything. if they have the manpower and resources to take over the IT market as we know it, then let them do it. they make enough money to recover from any failure. i am taking random quotes from an article i read.


Google is a joint founded by geeks and run by geeks. It is a collection of 650 really smart people who are almost frighteningly single-minded. "These are people who think they are creating something that's the best in the world," says Peter Norvig, a Google engineering director. "And that product is changing people's lives. Geeks are different from the rest of us, so it's no surprise that they've created a different sort of company. Google is, in fact, their dream house. It also happens to be among the best-run companies in the technology sector. At a moment when much of business has resigned itself to the pursuit of sameness and safety, Google proposes an almost joyous antidote to mediocrity, a model for smart innovation in challenging times."

Google is a company overbuilt to be stronger than it has to be. Its extravagance of talent allows it crucial flexibility -- the ability to experiment, to try many things at once. "Flexibility is expensive," says Craig Silverstein, a 30-year-old engineer who dropped his pursuit of a Stanford PhD to become Google's first employee. "But we think that flexibility gives you a better product. Are we right? I think we're right. More important, that's the sort of company I want to work for."

One big factor is the company's willingness to fail. Google engineers are free to experiment with new features and new services and free to do so in public. The company frequently posts early versions of new features on the site and waits for its users to react.

ProgrammingRe: Any Nigerian Women In Programming? by runsaway: 8:03am On Jul 10, 2006
i use java, c and vb comfortably.

maybe many women dont programm cause they are better at debugging; so they let the men write and they debug. (women are quiet good at pointing out ur mistakes, a natural flair.)

LiteratureHas Anyone Ever Heard Of Or Read John Irving by runsaway(op): 12:44pm On Jun 21, 2006
no one in this forum seems to know who this fellow is. all i hear are the already popular names.

i bought "a widow for a year" for a give away price of 250 naira because i couldnt find any of the popular author i was looking for at the time and it was one of my best investments ever.

reading " hotel new hampshire" now but i never find anyone to discuss his books with apart from my brother.
nigerians please dont disappoint me. HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE?

PS: he is the author of 'cider house rules' and 'simon birch/a prayer for owen meany'

Certification And Training AdvertsRe: CISA Exam Materials by runsaway: 9:53am On Jun 21, 2006
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (hereafter simply Sarbanes-Oxley) is designed to ensure the following within a business:

There are sufficient controls to prevent fraud, misuse, and/or loss of financial data/transactions.

There are controls to enable speedy detection if and when such problems happen.

Effective action is taken to limit the effects of such problems.

In many companies, most of these controls are IT-based.

Not only must controls be in place; they must be effective, and it must be possible to note exceptions caught by the controls and follow audit trails in order to take appropriate action in response to those exceptions. This requirement puts a new pressure on IT that until now few IT departments have faced.

Ultimately, Sarbanes-Oxley makes executives responsible for ensuring that these controls are in place and effective, and this fact is making Sarbanes-Oxley a high priority on most companies' agendas: Executives are aware that they could go to jail if these processes are not in place and/or are ineffective. Suddenly, executives are very interested in what's going on in the murky depths of the IT department!

For detailed guidance on IT auditing, many have chosen to use the ISACA subset of COBIT to ensure that the key IT aspects related to Sarbanes-Oxley are being tested and ISO 17799 for guidance on which security aspects to audit. This means that cisa certifications might be extremely valuable in companies that have to abide to the act.

mandi, you're bursting bubbles.

if cisa is devaluing at least cism is increasing in value

Office romance- fun but risky. In good taste its just best to avoid office romance.
What happens when it end in bad blood?
U r going to be putting ur job and ur colleagues in a very uncomfortable position. If u can help it don’t get involved with someone in ur office. Trust me, u don’t want to be the topic of everybody’s conversation.
