Got me thinking about nextwave, the guys that bid on a ton of spectrum, then filed for bankruptcy.. looks like they are still spectrum squaters (but not as big as they were)
Actually, I have heard the co-pilot speak. He says just that... They were not hero's, they were doing EXACTLY what they trained to do. That the training on it made it seem automatic.
Congratulations! you just described a well normalized, Relational Database Management System! Please see, MS SQL, Oracle DB, postgresql.org, IBM DB2, Sybase ASE, TerraData, etc.
Newberry crater isn't like a volcano in the movies.. the caldera at the top has two lakes, a resort, campgrounds, etc. There is also a very large obsidian lava flow (100 feet of glass rocks, its pretty cool).. It also has awesome views from the top. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newberry_Volcano
My Rural Wireless ISP does this.. every customer gets a 192.168.100. address.. very, very annoying. They say some equipment doesn't support IPv6, but would it be too hard to throw a 6to4 server up?
I live semi rural..I am currently paying $62/month for 1Mb/s rural wireless.. it sucks.. I would move to 4g, except with all the online video we do (hulu and stuff) and downloading a playing with new distributions, i'm using about 10GB/month
I am interested in the sat connection, it seems interesting.. Of course, I say I live rural, but Charter has a fiber at the end of my street, feeding the Verizon 4G cell phone tower 2 miles up the road.. they just won't put in a cable plant because my neighborhood only has 50 homes..
Leaflets were dropped for 2 days before the bombings by the CIA warning citizens that the cities were going to be destroyed, and many of them got out of town.
Thats a good thing.. We have some systems that don't need capacity, just something to boot from before mounting remote data, We have been buying 128GB SSD's.. If more people are doing that, then it helps drive the cost of SSD's down, and gets those companies more money for R&D
Actually, I think its "We get 90% of our revenues from the export of OIL, lets see what we can do to increase our budgets..."
Shutting down the strait would cut off the main source of revenue for Iran.. But, every time they say something stupid, the price goes up, and they make more money off the exports.
Do you have any idea how much it costs to run a wireless company?
Just how many campaigns you have to 'contribute' to.. How many local politicians you have to promise 'jobs' to just to get tax breaks on your call centers.. (for 4 years, when you close up and move to a new location).. Don't forget marketing.. Because a really great service and price don't sell themselves...
Don't forget.. you have to subsidize those phone costs.. and arrange kickbacks (err, agreements) to put certain software on the smartphones that people can't uninstall....
And we haven't even gotten to executive compensation, to attract the best talent around..
From what I have seen, IPv6 is MUCH simpler in implementation.. the part that gets tricky, is working with hardware, and 30 years of businesses working around the limitations of IPv4..
Most are named after bodies of water, and they used to all be rivers in the Pacific Northwest of the US, but they ran out, (and moved some development out of Portland, OR)
You don't even need to install them. If you look at your local store, there are domes EVERYWHERE in the ceiling for camera's, but only a few have a camera in them.. The very thought that you MIGHT be watched makes most of us behave better.
Does your diesel mechanic buddy worry that if Snap-On audits his office, and finds he has a counterfeit wrench, his company could be fined $100,000 per counterfeit wrench?
Does his company MANDATE exactly which tools he buys, how often they are inspected, and tell him when to go buy new ones?
If he doesn't clean his tools regularly, does it take down the shop for the day?
I will bring my own computer, when I can USE my own computer.. (I don't run AV on my linux laptop, and since their is no AV compatible with their NAC software, it won't go on the network)
A large accounting firm I used to work at was looking to do virtual desktops with Citrix. They wanted to make it harder for data to 'leave' the network. They quickly realized that they could require the contractors they hire by the busload to bring in their own devices, and not have to deal with the cost, or setup time... (of course, they seem to forget about security, but oh well)
try having two IP's on the 'outside' of nat forward the same port to the same server (ie, port 80 on both IP's to your web server).. I have yet to find a single vendor that can do that, since it would not be able to figure out source traffic..
My ISP is a rural wireless ISP that does NAT at their POP. (I don't have much choice in Providers, its them, dial up, or satellite) Their whole wireless infrastructure is a 192.168.168.x network. All client sites sit behind another NAT device (the CPE router) that then translates that to a 10.10.x address.. I can't use any service that needs to address a certain port.. (people in my area get mad they can't host games on their WII's.. things like "whatsMyIP.com" are useless, so is dynamic DNS, since the public IP is a box serving thousands of customers.. This is the future of NAT, as IP's get scarce.
When I was admining at a small college, we DID NOT provide email for students, only for staff. We ran a listServe (sympa) and if the students gave us their personal email address, and checked a box, they would be added to a mail list for every class automatically..
Any student that didn't have an email would be sent to the library, where they would be shown how to sign up for a hotmail, yahoo, or gmail account.
We had students thank us, since they have gone to other schools, and though it was silly to have to check yet another account, when they already had 3 or 4.
The ONLY reason colleges give out emails is because they have been doing it since before email was a common thing. There is no actual reason for it.. (but I have heard some neighboring colleges give very, very very good sounding arguments on why they needed to drop a few hundred grant on a SAN and exchange)
Actually, none of the big Oregon Datacenters are near major airports..
Prineville is near Bend, OR, near the center of the state. Bend doesn't have a large airport, and just a few flights a day. Google has their datacenter in TheDalles, OR, about 1.5 hours east of Portland along the Columbia River, and Amazon's is another few hours past Google's, near Hermiston/Umitilla
When I was a kid, I remember my store manager (one of the franchise owners) mentioning how much research went into a new location for McDonalds. The sheer amount of research, planning, etc. And he (probably jokingly) said that Burger King would just look for where McDonalds was building, and go across the street:)

ATT had opportunities to purchase additional spectrum in auctions. They did not, or did not get enough.

Politicians are kind of like Cockroaches.. In more ways than one...
You are not google's customer.. You are google's product. Their customers are people that buy ad-words and other advertising to show to you.

But.. Powershell is like Perl had an affair with Bash, and didn't tell her husband, DOS.
So Dos helped raise and shape that little bastard, like it was its own :) Unaware of why it was so different..

Dell is not a Texas Corporation..
Dell is a Delaware Corporation, like about 85% of all corporations..
They have their headquarters in Texas.

Why not make congress or hte military or amtrak or any other government agency do this then?
