(Just like how the whole don't-blame-American-citizens-for-Iraq argument stopped making sense after Bush won re-election.)
It did?
By my math there were just over 62 million votes counted for Bush in 2004. Estimated population of the United States in 2004 was just shy of 293 million. If simple division serves me right then that means over 78% of the U.S. population did not vote for Bush in 2004 (either by voting for someone else, not voting, or being ineligible). That is hardly a large enough number for anyone to do what they want and claim some sort of democratic mandate.
A Republic is not a Democracy. While the people who voted for him might have backed his policies that hardly means "America" did. The same can be said for any U.S. president.
Who is providing the information that the internet has been shut down there? Google data doesn't seem to indicate this so far (http://www.google.com/transparencyreport/traffic/), so where are we getting this information from? Not saying it isn't happening, I just like at least 1 source to backup stories that involve the internet being cut off to an entire nation...
nah, if that were the case the government wouldn't be able to function. Agencies like the NSA work under the assumption that they have already been compromised. There is plenty that can be done to insure integrity of a network's components even when the network itself has been compromised. That said, it is preferable to avoid such a scenario.
yeah... that one was for fourth graders. The test the school board member took was for 10th grade. That said if you can't use a calculator by fourth grade you should be held back.
Psshht. shredding is for newbs. Shred, burn, mix ashes with sludge from numerous porta-potties, divide contents and freeze. Shoot it into the air with a homemade cannon. Let it be cherished by a naive meteorite collector where it is safe from discovery by the secret black helicopter cia-army-fbi-nsa police detectives and you are good to go.
ahem... I've had windows update bork enough display adapters, monitors network cards and printers that there is no way I would allow it to update them. Recent example (not hardware, but still): have you tried installing sql 2008 r2 sp1 or sql 2008 sp3 using windows update.... it goes haywire about 1/5 of the time!
1) no pre/post cache. Your write speeds are going to suck.
2) no redundant power. Your $35 power supply is going to fail.
3) what raid controller are you using??? You aren't going to use the onboard chipset are you?
4) don't go anywhere near my networks.
Well I disagree. The fact that chrome starts up in 1 or 2 seconds and on the same computer I can sit and watch the memory balloon for 30 seconds before firefox even appears tells me there is a problem with it.
I can second Ubiquiti. It is really really great stuff for the price, and there are some 3rd parties providing alternate firmware options if you don't care for their software. they aren't crazy there with warranty practices - if you change the software it doesn't void the hardware warranty.
Yes, firefox release schedule = fail. As an admin I said "this is a PITA" (from a testing and deployment standpoint). My users said "wait, I just updated firefox, why do I have to do it again"
If they start doing this at the OS level end users are going to get pissed at the "time to update" icon or popup or whatnot and the admins are going to move to something that is stable. The only thing I want to have installed in my production environment is a well tested security patch - no UI changes, no new "features" that could compromise systems or break compatibility.
This isn't as big an issue as people make it out to be. One of the biggest users of helium is the scientific community. They are making strides to curb their use and create more. Despite the economy, it is funded: http://news.ufl.edu/2011/05/23/nsf-helium/
Not unless you want terrible performance due to interference or are talking about the wired connection (which is already full duplex). There are plenty of full duplex wireless routers out there though.
When we get IPv6, you could even imagine being able to the scanned copy directly on another printer, though avoiding spam and similar will be an issue (as it is with faxes today).
You mean you don't have IPv6 yet? Shame on you, give me your card.
You're buying too cheap of scanners... or hp is your vendor*
Disclaimer:I have recommended hp to clients. While their imaging is good most of their scan software sucks monkey nuts and I won't recommend their flatbeds or cheap all in ones anymore because they lack forward compatibility. They never release their code and they don't ever upgrade it - buy a scanner and a new OS comes out in a week? Tough shit.
First, Github has been around for quite some time now and is just hosting for Git - hardly "vague" (is that the word you were looking for even?) and by your argument shouldn't sourceforge also cost money now? You know that massive load also comes with massive numbers of visitors and publicity and bandwidth is cheap now right? They are getting free direct advertising to programmers all over the net. How is that bad for them exactly?

I can second A2. They are great for a low cost solution.

haha wish I still had mod points. Yes, make them GPL it!
yep. This is old news. UltraVNC has been warning about this for quite some time https://forum.ultravnc.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=28692

For small business that is fine, for enterprise it isn't so practical which is why robotic tape libraries and hard drive storage arrays are used.
You are getting a 4Mbps business connection with an SLA for $100 a month and calling that slow and expensive?
No worries, I changed my MAC address to GG-GG-GG-GG-GG-GG.

newegg sells preassembled computers already. they will sell tablets at low prices for people that want that. problem solved.

gee golly I guess we better just turn it all off and call it quits before the hackers get us.
