  1. Re: I have a Bixby refrigerator on Samsung Announces Galaxy Home Speaker With Bixby Smart Assistant · · Score: 2

    Bixby is dead on arrival. What planet do these guys live on? Nevermind....board room planet.

  2. Agreed. There is a hyper focus on more mobile for the customer experience but think of the power you could unleash turning that UX focus towards line of business enterprise applications. Stop building browser based applications and start building cross platform mobile apps.

  3. Our money would be better spent building infrastructure here and in Muslim countries.

    Flaimbait? That was funny as shit!!

  5. Re: What about the deep see force. on VP Pence Lays Out Trump's Vision For Establishing a US Space Force (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Vice has a good solid episode on this subject. They interviewed the military who are working on tracking orbiting debris and satellites and other experts. They recounted an incident (real or propaganda?) where a piece of "debris" maneuvered itself into another position.

    Don't forget the rebuild and modernization of our entire nuclear arsenal that this is meant to distract us from. $1.2 Trillion USD

  7. I'm not willing to say it's aliens.....but....it's aliens.

    Agreed. Unfortunately they will treat the migration as a single project with pass/fail criteria. Take it in logical steps and somehow factor politics away and it would be fun.

    Microsoft rewrote Sharepoint some time ago. The modern version is viable for delivering and hosting applications and workflows. The Sharepoint name is mired in the past....which was justified.

  10. Integration on Baltimore Police Department Is Still Using Lotus Notes (baltimoresun.com) · · Score: 1

    Integration and consolidation would be nearly trivial and fun. I'm game.

  11. I only have internet from Spectrum and the service has been good so far. They upgraded internet speed twice...we are now at 200Mbps down. I ignored all of their bundling offers and now they try to get me to take TV for free. I ignored that as well.

    ...or you could just spoof the MAC of someone who has already authenticated and take their session. Preferably one who is sitting idle so they don't re-auth or call IT asking why they keep getting disconnected.

  13. Re:Two sides to that on Oracle Challenges Pentagon's $10 Billion Cloud Computing Contract (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Most IT shops spend a lot of time dealing with things that add zero value. The cloud services introduce a much better opportunity cost in that your people can focus on design of infrastructure and applications instead of maintenance of infrastructure. Maintenance is a cost, design is an opportunity and one that is a lot more flexible in the cloud since you are not tied to a major capital purchase that is next to impossible to change tomorrow.

  14. Re:Oracle might actually have a point here. on Oracle Challenges Pentagon's $10 Billion Cloud Computing Contract (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    So sick of people "deciding on a cloud provider." People just don't get it. Being cloud ready means possessing the ability to move to any of them at any time. If you have to decide on a cloud provider you should just stay on-prem until you can put on your big boy pants.

    Psst...spinning up VMs in the cloud and running your shitty software on them is in no way an advantage or a cost savings...and it certainly doesn't mean you are "in the cloud." Dumb fucks.

    If you are not 12-factor and abstracted from the infrastructure you are not cloud ready--you are locked in.

  15. Might be a problem...but not "a real problem in our society." We have bigger fish to fry than figuring out how to enhance the privilege of the ultra-privileged.

  16. Then no one would click on the article and erupt into a flurry of angry comments--the only kind of comments that are worth money.

    With the amount of salt, sugar, and refined flour that people eat, being 80 means you are on the brink of death any moment. Your genetics clearly indicate at that point that you should have lived to be 120.

  18. To the tune of 2 in 500k patients. Not a problem.

    Right. If anything of substance happens and I can't get the records then a call is going in to the AG to enforce the FOIA. Everything the government does that produces records is due to me on request.

  25. Foreign ownership of any asset is a gamble. At any time the government can re-appropriate it or revoke the debt without payment and of little consequence. Foreigners owning property and debt in my country concern me very little for this reason. We get their money in good times...and we can take the shit back if we need it.
