| 1312584 | 2012-11-15 03:31:00 | Yeah .. look at China with Apple's employee suicides and for a manufacturer about the pollution, population displacement, the impact onto other life forms etc. Wellington's Exide battery plant and how that became the political spotlight. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1312585 | 2012-11-15 03:32:00 | Call me crazy but it sounds like if you're having trouble understanding the question you should discuss it with your lecturer . This seems more like a "Hey guys can you start writing this forme and I'll just finish it off" . . . +1 . . . Really need that button Chill . If there was some mean person out there they could have told you it was about an AI Computer called Skynet (might actually be called iSkynet :P) somewhere in the Outback of Auzzie plotting to take over the world using all the Corporate computers and Social-Network sites . . . however they send back a Cyber-Borg (or an Android if you will > . -) through a *Window* from the Future to warn us and protect the to-be leader of the future Resistance . . . ^ See what I did there . . . This post below was such great timing for mine . . . Yeah . . look at China with Apple's employee suicides and for a manufacturer about the pollution, population displacement, the impact onto other life forms etc . So it beginis . . . |

| 1312588 | 2012-11-15 05:40:00 | Unfortunately for you these sorts of topics are designed to appease the politically correct brigade and are somewhat obscure. They are nonsense really, as true sustainability is only possible if we reduce global standards of living drastically (unpopular) or kill off 80% of the global population (unpopular) or indeed find 4 other planets like this one (unlikely in the short term). We live on a finite planet, we all have to accept that. Server farms use huge amounts of electrical energy, convert it to work done and heat, that heat could be heating municipal swimming pools, or indeed used to heat offices or greenhouses full of tropical plants, aquaculture of prawns etc or whatever but this sort of stuff is seldom implemented now. In the future, however...? Our present obsession with the new and shiny and the subsequent discarding of serviceable older technologies is a madness foisted on us by advertising under the control of madmen in industry. A fully centralised guiding hand, similar to that seen in the former USSR, would seem to fit the bill to correct this, a few nice re-education camps could easily be implimented. Bring in the dictator! (Oh, he's already here :D ) |

This seems more like a "Hey guys can you start writing this forme and I'll just finish it off"... Have to agree. I never asked anyone to write my papers at tech. I did seek out certain knowledgeable ones and get some extra tuition on things if the tutor wasn't able to help. There was at least one person there who used to get her boyfriend to do her assignments. Then along came a test and of course she failed it. |

| 1312593 | 2012-11-15 19:00:00 | Its an easy, but vague / badly worded question. Break it down, start by defining corporate responsibility (NOTE: not sustainably, barf on your first post that's not what they asked). Then define IT sustainability Then, compare the two and find how they are similar in some ways. If there are none, expand upon why, or what could be done to make them similar (if similarity is even a goal) etc... |
