Can someone with an IT job please answer these questions?
For my high school technology class, I’m supposed to interview someone who works in the IT field. Unfortunately, I don’t know anyone that fulfills the requirements of the assignment. Here is the list of questions:
1. Personal information (employee name, employer name, workplace address, work telephone number, job title, number of years on current job, years of computer experience).
2. What kind of computer system(s) do you use (hardware, software, printers, other related equipment)?
3. What kind of training have you received in order to use the computer system effectively? Do you find the IT Technical Staff in your firm to be helpful and easy to work with?
4. What business processes (operational) are supported by the IT systems in your workplace?
5. How does management use the IT system to support their activities?
6. Is your system part of a network? If so, who is the network administrator? How often do you interact with the administrator? What kinds of issues do you discuss with the administrator?
7. Are your computer systems connected to your customers, suppliers or partners? If so, describe how the system is used to connect to these entities.
8. As your career has progressed, what changes in IT have you noticed and how have these changes in IT contributed to your performance?
9. Has using the computer system at work influenced your life outside of work? If so, in what way?
10. What advice would you give to a new employee about the IT supported workplace?
*Apparently we’re supposed to find someone with 10 years work experience. I guess if it’s close to 10 it won’t matter. At this point, one year would be fine.
**If someone kindly does answer these questions, would you mind if I e-mailed 5 follow-up questions? We need to come up with 5 questions of our own, and I don’t know what to ask without prior information.
I know this might take some time, but if anyone is willing to answer these questions I would be eternally grateful!!!

Focusing on the database management systems (DBMS) offered by each
company, write a paper that compares and contrasts the three companies. One of these three
companies also offers a “relational data modeling” tool. Identify this company and note the name
of the product that is used for data modeling.

i wish some 1 who had an experience in to solve my problem ,,, thanks n sorry 4 ma english
If i have one webserver and 2 web developers that work for me from distance …..(PART 2)?
what should i supply them in order to make their work easier…and when i say easier i mean to cooperate well and to make good result?…
one good answer that helped me was this one from H4×0rchix0r
I think you should have:
1) a project management application that all three of you can access and update
2) a test environment – for that, I would recommend virtualization so that it doesn’t interfere with your production environment
That is the bare necessary. If you want to throw in some free caffeine, they’ll just love you more:)
for 1 and 2 i still have questions
1)project manager has to do with content management?and if not then what is the difference?
2)what is the role of test enviroment?
and i also want to state that i want to be the person who guides the process and organise developers that make dynamic sites,flash,actionscript,animations .is this software appropriate and if yes how?i would like to hear your view on this because i am an amateur thank you

Whats happen to my WoW account?
I got my account hacked a couple days ago i got it back and all my gear back to but not 12hours later i get this message
Greetings {Name},
We have determined that the World of Warcraft account {Account name} has been accessed by someone not authorized to do so by the World of Warcraft Terms of Use (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html).
To protect your privacy and security, we have temporarily disabled this account. Any recurring subscriptions have been suspended to prevent further monetary charges. In order to regain access to the account, you must complete the steps below to secure the account and verify your identity.
Please note that account sharing is a violation of the World of Warcraft Terms of Use, which is in place to help players keep the accounts they play on secure. As such, we are unable to assist any player in regaining access to an account not created in his or her own name.
Please keep this email for your reference until the account recovery process has been completed.
STEP 1: SECURE THE ACCOUNT, YOUR COMPUTER AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
We recommend you read over and apply the following tips to protect yourself and the account in the future. Account compromises can occur when a player shares login information with an unauthorized third party or plays on a computer that has a virus, Trojan, or key-logger.
- Keep your login information confidential. Account access can only be shared with one minor of whom you are the parent or guardian. Sharing access with anyone else is a violation of the game’s Terms of Use. You are also responsible for every use of an account on which you are listed as the registered player, whether the use was authorized or not.
- Use up-to-date firewall, antivirus, and anti-spyware software to scan your system regularly for viruses, Trojans, and key-loggers.
- Keep your operating system and other software up-to-date and be careful when downloading new software.
- Be wary of “spoof” and scam websites and e-mails that pose as Blizzard Entertainment and request account or personal information. As a reminder, Blizzard Entertainment representatives will *never* ask you for your password.
- Use separate, unique passwords for your email, World of Warcraft, and any other online accounts.
- Change your passwords regularly and keep World of Warcraft account information updated using the Account Management page at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/.
For additional security tips and information, please visit the following sites:
- Account Security: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/21131
- Unauthorized Account Access Policy: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/20460
- World of Warcraft Account Security: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/20572
- Email Address Security: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/28585
If you are looking for an added layer of security, we currently offer the Blizzard Authenticator, an optional device that can help prevent unauthorized account access. For more information about how the Authenticator works or how to add one to a World of Warcraft account, please visit the Blizzard Authenticator FAQ at http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/24660.
STEP 2: RECOVER THE ACCOUNT
We now provide a secure website for you to verify that you have taken the appropriate steps to secure the account, your computer, and your email address. Please go to this site and follow the instructions: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/28970
STEP 3: VERIFY YOUR SUBMISSION WAS RECEIVED
We will contact you with further instructions once we have received and processed your email. If you do not receive a reply within five business days of sending your email, please resend it to the address listed above.
Please be aware that if unauthorized access to this account continues after the recovery process is complete, it may lead to further action against the account.
Only the Account Administration department can address disputes or questions you may have about the account recovery process. To learn more about how we are able to assist you, please visit us at http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/21505.
