That's why Musk and his Hyperloop are targeting the short runs, like NY-> DC or SEA -> PDX. Different tools for different jobs. If they'd share infrastructure, though, that might make things easier.
I'm sure I mis-remembered the terminology that they called the 'charging station' in the video, or they announced the supercharger at the same time and I conflated terms, but semantics aside, "The Robotic Wrench(tm)" does solve the problem of the speed of charging. And IIRC, Tesla opened the patent on it so that other auto manufacturers could choose to manufacture to this battery specification and speed the implementation of the concepts (and generate tons of business for Tesla's battery factory, I'm sure) means it doesn't have to be just Tesla cars that use the same concepts.
Tesla posted a video in 2013 where they shared their SuperCharger technology - and fully charging 2 cars before an Audi could get a full tank of gasoline. Yes, it requires a significant infrastructure to be built that doesn't exist yet, but it's certainly one way to ensure that batteries are reconditioned regularly, and an easy way to fix the slow charging problem.
You missed the Mythbusters episode where they proved the toothbrush got just as much fecal coliform on it when stored in the Kitchen as did the one in the bathroom, didn't you?
Why not pay someone to make a case mod for an existing phone, a la the bluetooth keyboards for tablets? There's no reason to require the phone manufacturers to do it, they just to get out of the way when we want to extend the phone. NB: I stuck with the Motorola Backflip as long as I could for the external keyboard as well. I liked being able to use it as a kickstand as well as a keyboard, and the hinges were pretty sturdy. It got too hard to play Ingress on, though, because it couldn't keep up with the latest code.:-/
Without addressing the correctness of the process, the Microsoft Exchange documentation suggests a SAN certificate for the Exchange servers that includes the public names and internal names on the same certificate. Lync does the same thing.
While this reduces services and split-naming confusion, it also puts your internal naming convention in the public certificate. People do it because MSFT says so. This Exch2007 article (Yes, old, but the first link in google. There are more examples.) says to put the NetBios name in as well: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exc...
As someone who oversees several branch software development offices in SF, LA, and Seattle (along with a few east coast ones) and is hiring developers (I've got 100+ and looking for more) - I can point to three things that are killing you:
Suggestion - Apply to work with this guy from LA. In 6 - 12 months, start making noise about wanting to transfer positions to the Seattle office.
Once you're in Seattle, with a job, you're not a Californian any more, and you can move to MSFT campus for the experience.
I think that's true - I was looking for a job in Seattle for a while, and had no trouble getting interviews as a Linux infrastructure manager, but the offers were low -- 20 - 30% lower pay than I was making in the SF Bay area. The pay difference was more than a years worth of house payments on my bay area house, so it wasn't worth the move.
If you're trying to pay for a San Francisco or New York house on a salary anywhere else, you aren't moving. Seattle salaries account for the fact that housing prices are 25-30% lower in urban Seattle / Bellevue / Redmond than in San Francisco, and the surrounding communities are significantly lower than that.
Per one of several cost-of-living comparison sites you can google for:
Rent Prices in San Francisco, CA are 71.43% higher than in Seattle, WA
Restaurant Prices in San Francisco, CA are 6.31% higher than in Seattle, WA
Groceries Prices in San Francisco, CA are 3.62% higher than in Seattle, WA
Local Purchasing Power in San Francisco, CA is 10.27% lower than in Seattle, WA
This. If an admin like the GP is so high and mighty about DNS records meeting RFC compliance (You do listen for DNS on both UDP and TCP right? And you've signed your domain with DNSSEC?), you can at least do your SMTP services correctly too. Asking for an authed SMTP submission session for each domain is now the correct best practice. Unauthed SMTP relays are a dying breed.

Now want to create an app that disables all television, radio, political advertising and replaces it with soothing music and pictures of puppies and kittens as soon as King County has acknowledged receiving my vote.
You're one of those Dihydrogen Monoxide supporters aren't you. You know that stuff is used in poisons every day? I heard the Taliban uses it in their mountain hideouts while they plot against the United States of Amerika.
You should be ashamed.
I agree with the above posts that 18mo might be a little young for computer exposure, but between 3-5, as reading skills start building, using the per-letter TuxType can be a fun game occasionally, and will introduce the computer keyboard to your child. Also, many web apps are there on places like starfall.com, nickjr.com and pbskids.org that have good games for kids that involve reading, math, and comprehension skills
I was surprised to find out that at my daughters Kindergarten last year, their "rediness" assessment was done on a PC. Because my daughter had been exposed to the computer mouse and keyboard earlier, she was able to handle the challenge with less help, and her scores were more accurate to her real skills.
She now also uses the iphone with more skill than either my wife or I, and I'm not sure how I feel about that.;-)
I understand you dont want to run for your phone -- Bluetooth won't reach up and down stairs, so linking phone and computer are likely not going to solve your problem. Why not use Grand Central http://www.grandcentral.com/ and a Skype number? Have Grand Central ring your cell and your Skype number at the same time. Then whichever you're closest to, you can answer.
The Violin 1010 connects to a server and provides almost 10 times the capacity of memory per rack and per Watt. A single rack of Violin 1010 can support 10 TByte of DRAM at less than 1W per GByte! The 90% power savings per GByte is important for the green data center.
Heh. I don't want to be that far away from the technology, where all the fun is had, even for a significant pay jump. As an NE2-NE3, I'm in the pay range that was mentioned in the post I was replying to, and my manager makes more than me, and thats all I was trying to point out. 150k for an Architect sounds like a reasonable amount. But for a C?O -- it is probably a little low.
OTOH, I probably wouldn't be a very good consultant either, I hate living out of a suitcase at the clients whim. I travel enough as it is.
If you're in the US, particularly the pac-nw region, expecting to work at a reasonably sized company, you're in for some sticker shock. For a good *manager* in the tech industry IT Department, that would be a realistic salary. And there has to be somewhere to go for sr. managers, general managers, directors, vp, svp, before they get to C-level.
Not to be a complete ass-hat, but get your degree, and get 10 years experience, then come back and let us know what you think about salaries. Have a better understanding of technology than an MIS degree will teach you. Go be a wrench-turner in your local computer lab, intern elsewhere, and get some hands on experience. Do some research at any of a number of employment sites. Pay your people well, and treat them better. You'll be well served, if you do succeed in your goal. Good luck.
Check out the above posts on NX and FreeNX -- at the place where I work, we use it on a number of client systems that are accessed from all over the world by test engineers for replicating customer issues. NX was the only one of the *nix X11 front-ends that effectively worked from the APAC region to PACNW, over high latency, low bandwidth links.
2, the NX client handles client-side optimizations like providing remote sound and local drive/printer access, a significant improvement over VNC. However, don't try that from very far away. That's not low bandwidth.
3, NX allows you to disconnect your session, and re-establish it later, like RDP and Citrix. It really does work pretty well.
Any dev worth his salt would be blaming, in order:
1) The Firewall
2) The Load Balancer
3) The Firewall
4) The Network Routers
5) The Firewall
6) The Network Cables
7) The Firewall
8) The Network Engineering Team
long before they figured out it was a Layer 8 issue in the code.
It would be hard to block routes through the Midwest -- but at least on the West Coast, closing the major freeways can be done by nature every winter. It costs millions of dollars a day that the I90 Snoqualmie pass is closed, blocking traffic from traversing east from the Port of Seattle to everywhere else on the I90 corridor.
Close Interstates 2, 4, 5, 80, 90, 101 and a few others with well placed mountain pass closures, and the West Coast, for intents and purposes, would be shut down, stopping the majority of interstate commerce through those ports. Say what you will about a 3000 mile corridor, if the grains in the midwest can't get to the shipping ports and the dairy farmers in California can't go east, and there's a lot of things that are going to shut down.
Now, I agree that we can't live in fear, and I don't, but you can't put your head in the sand either. Some risks just have to be accepted.

Oy. I'm American too, and I know 60m != 60'. 197' isn't much better, but really. C'mon.
Yes. This. They have exactly zero chance of affecting change in DPRK, but Korean Government will get some hard currency to work with.

If it's so obvious, why has nobody yet done it with more than 5 years of smartphones on the market.
My Samsung G2 supports muting the ring by turning the phone over. Using the accelerometer isn't unique. Whacking it is pretty clever, though.
