To be fair.. they just have to offer that to the first 110 reps, and 51 senators that will claim it. Wow.. I just saved them $1.4B, I should ask for a bonus, or better yet, patent that business method! method of contributing to a number of 509(c) sponsored entities in a way to maximize the opportunity cost of said contribution
Yes, he can. Where is he going to go now for unlimited mobile internet though? every single company has limits.. (bandwith limits and caps remind me more and more of baggage fees..)
I'm sure my developers say the same thing about me. I mean, their Silverlight app works fine when they run it on their test server on the same subnet as them. But somehow, when I forward to it with our load balancers, it breaks. Apparently, my load-balancers are crap, and i should just put their IIS machine right in the DMZ.. They have decided that I don't know what I'm talking about, and their app searching for http://hostname/ is going to magically resolve on the internet, since it works in their office..
The University of Oregon has been able to show a picture of Walt Disney shaking hands with the president of UofO, and mentioning in an article how he liked the mascot (which was based on Donald Duck) to settle a lawsuit from Disney on infringement.

Can you really put those sentences together? Really?
If you had a small diesel engine, that ran in a very low range of RPM's to power an electric motor, you would have the height of 1960's technology, the Diesel-Electric Locomotive. And it would be the best hybrid approach out there. SImple to run and maintain. There is a reason trains have been using them for decades now.
Wait... Does anyone still buy cisco? I thought they jumped the shark years ago, and have just turned into a another Oracle.. Invent nothing, acquire everything..
I love their modified "Enterprise Kernel" that their OEL 5.6 and above run. Good luck getting VMWare guest additions to run on that.. First thing I do on my oracle test boxes is remove the 'enterprise kernel' and use the stock one. (that redhat builds..)
They don't run databases on this storage. the ONLY way they access all this storage is via an HTTPS connection to the tomcat server running on the machine. They have some very, very interesting blog entries about how things scale when you go beyond a handful of servers.
There is "cloud storage" management software that would be awesome on these boxes (although they might benefit from a bit more CPU and ram, and some more Gigabit nics.. When I read this blog article yesterday, I immediately went back to openstack.. The examples for Openstack Storage don't even bother with raid, since the objects on the drive will be replicated to multiple other servers automatically. This could be very, very interesting..
How long have people been begging for an MSI based installer, and some Group Policy support that is "official".. sure there are scripts that can hack GPO support in, and 3rd party builds of the MSI installer.. but people have been asking since Firefox 2...
I've been able to do a transaction, and see it deposited/deducted from my account in less than a second. And have been able to since about 1997, when I started online banking.. But I guess that's another reason credit unions rock.
Now if only I could figure out why Visa insists on holding CC transactions for 3 days..
The local Telco just spent close to $200,000 to run a fiber to my office. And we only pay them a couple grand a month! Using the same numbers as this study, it was a HORRIBLE decision. Of course, now the fiber is in place. and the other 60 businesses in the business park (were at the far end from town) can latch into it for a few hundred dollars of installation costs each.
How much of that cost was running Fiber out to rural telephone exchanges, or Wireless towers? Now that the infrastructure is in place, how long will it last, and how much will it cost to add others? I guess this guy was trying to score more political points than do a proper study.
Your comparison is a bit off. A accountant, lawyer, or adversting agency are services companies. Sales taxes are on sales, not services. So, if you have a door-to-door shoe salesman that is an independant contractor, that might be more comparable.
But really, Are you purchasing the item from Amazon, or from the Amazon Affiliate? If its the former, then what happens if Walmart becomes and affiliate of amazon, and sells all their good through there? Do they then have to collect tax? the person is actually purchasing from Walmart, not amazon, but the purchase is routed through amazon.. Sounds like a quick recipe for fraud.
I've often wondered why CA doesn't just demand or subpoena a list of items shipped to CA, and then go after the individuals. Their state law clearly states they need to pay it..
I did measurements of XP vs. Windows 7 for my last employer. We did our builds of both on Lenovo T400, T61, and Dell D620 laptops. In every single one, Windows 7 was dramatically faster. Both boot time, and once the system was running. The T400 is about 3 years old now, and the D620 is probably about 4? so perhaps you need an objective measure.. The improved caching algorithms are very good, but lead to lots of co-workers that feel their power users complaining that all their ram is used up (thats the point, just like linux)
What kind of antivirus software are you running? You should re-evaluate.
If they are targeting ARM chips, the fastest of which are around 1GHz.. then i would guess they probably spent a large amount of effort optimizing and getting rid of bloat... Tablets are limited by CPU speed and battery.
I'm in the same boat. and >$100 per dimmable LED is a bit expensive to be testing with.. my Bedroom alone has 6 dimmed canned lights.. But hey, double the cost of the lights from $1 each to $2 each, and dump that into research...

Unlike a good, strong name like "twitter"? (which is what gwibber was originally a client for)
Gwibber seemed promising, but horribly slow. I hear the new version is very, very much slimmed down.

They don't sell the management software.. its internal. They only sell a backup service to end users, via a client.

Keep in mind, ISDN (and partial ISDN) is available almost everywhere.. and according to the Feds, 128Kb/s is broadband..
