I used to have a lab setup of a half dozen machines. Last week, I built an Active directory domain, SQL server, SCCM server, and a few clients, all running on a dual xeon workstation (dual quad cores) and 8 GB of ram. That one workstation costs a little bit more than the very nice thinkpad notebook I have to do normal work tasks. I am using a fraction of the power, teeny bit of the cost, and i have my desk area back. Sure, a few more disks would be nice, but its darn nice to just spin up another VM (or restore to an older snapshot) and not have to mess with driver issues.
yes, and now Ubuntu offers to download and install my Nvidia and AMD/ATI video drivers for me, which are proprietary.
And Ubuntu's marketshare has been going very much up. I don't miss then days when you had to modify the x11 files to get your NVidia driver to work. I look at it as a benefit.
Everyone with a Western Keyboard can type A-Z and a-z. Not so with other countries keyboards. (btw, you can still type the unicode characters in windows, its just much more difficult). But really, if they have a Chinese language URL, and a site that is entirely written in Chinese, are they worried about not having you as a potential customer, when you can't figure out how to connect using their language?
There are more people online in China than live in the US. This is going to be awesome for their local online economies, as people will be able to use their native languages.
You know, I used to think that way when I was a student too.. then I worked at a college. at most state schools, the tuition does not even cover half the cost of class, the taxpayers are picking up the rest of the tab, because they are trying to make their communities better, by having educated people in them.
So the whole argument of "They are paying for it, so who cares if they skip" kind of falls flat. Taxpayers are funding a large portion of that. If you aren't going to go, then just drop out already, and make room and resource dollars for someone else, who will actually show up.
Thats been a published thing since Server 2003. If you have a cluster size of less than 16k clusters, then when you run defrag, it sees it starts tossing out old restore points. (was hurting us because of VSS and the "previous Versions' feature.)
The device is not worth $950. The price is the value of the item stolen, not what some idiot is willing to pay for it. If someone pays $10,000 for a stolen car that has a bluebook value of $3,000, it is recorded as a $3000 theft.
However, gizmodo said at the beginning that they had no intention of keeping the phone. In fact, the person that found it, and Gizmodo both tried to return it, many times. The finder cause it was the right thing to do, and Gizmodo, because then Apple would be acknowledging that it was, in fact, and Apple device and not a cheap chineese knockoff.
If someone steals your car, and I buy it from the, but give it back to you, am I a criminal?
Exchange integration works perfectly (even with the exotic configuration I have at work) and the widgets available are really cool.
Our companies exchange infrastructure won't work with the android, because it does not support encryption of email on the phone. So people that want a new phone are stuck with iPhone 3GS, blackberry, and not much more.
There is not yet a version of the Android OS that supports the encryption of email that our exchange server requires.
Most states, in addition to rebates and grants ( and federal ones) will give you extremely low interest loans.
So that 30k system ends up costing you about $15k over 7-10 years, or $150 - $200 a month. Then, you have basically no more utility bill, ever. (and still have 18 years of warranty on your solar panels...)
ARM Holdings is just the licensing part of the processor design. Many companies actually manufacture chips based on the ARM designs, (which is part of the reason they are so cheap)
Other than being able to steer the technology, I'm not sure what apple would be able to do? BTW submitter, there are many more ARM processors out there than just what are in Ipods and android phones. Think Embedded devices.
I doubt they ever stopped keeping back room ports of NT for Alpha and Mips.. Kind of like how apple always kept a back room, "secret" port of OSX for intel. Sure, the apps won't run, but in a datacenter, you can pick the exact apps you need, and recompile.
I did something similar. Except I gave the President half the password, and the head of HR the other half. I figured since they didn't get along well, it would certainly have to be an emergency (and I would have to be dead) for them to get together and get the password.
Not to mention, someday, he's going to apply for a new job.. And he might just be allowed to say "R&D at Apple".. But some HR person is going to google his name, and say "Holy Crap, this guy worked on the iPhone for Apple, he must really know his stuff!"
VAT is nice, because its easy to calculate. In the US, different states, counties, and even cities have different tax levels. In my area, there is an additional 0.5% sales tax to help pay for Transit stuff ( I want to say its 3% state, 1% county, 1% local, and.5% for transit in the metro area, which adds up to 5.5%. But I am new to sales tax, so i'm not sure... a few miles over, they have that, plus another 0.5% sales tax to help pay off a baseball stadium that is one county over from them.. There are so many different jurisdictions and areas with different taxes, it would be next to impossible to keep up to date and correct..
The key to stopping this kind of boarding hopping is to take a note from the west coast, and make your states bigger.. I mean sure, in vancover, WA, they hop over the river, and buy things in portland tax free, but thats just a small percentage of the population. Now, you guys just gotta have some mergers and aquisitions, and combine some states, so its more than a 20 min drive to the next state. Seriously, the western states have counties bigger than you easterners.. Of course, out west, they tried to do the opposite, and tried to form the State of Jefferson by carving out a piece of northern CA, southern OR, and a bit of Nevada.. (google it) but put it on hold when WW2 started.
ps. my old county had a land area bigger than most eastern states, and only 4 cops per shift to patrol it... No wonder they are a little more pro-gun out there..
In all seriousness, at work i have to use windows, and I'm starting to move some old VB Scripts others have developed to Powershell for fun, and its nice. Kind of reminds me of Bash and Perl Getting married, and their kid grows up and rebels by moving in with Windows.
Which number is the 'real' one I have to publish.. My businesses main number (good luck verifying this). My DID number? the phone number on the outgoing phone line from my PBX?
In my last office, we chose to have the PBX send out the DID numbers for business reasons. (so if people hit redial or whatever on their cell phones, it would come right back). Other businesses have other reasons for doing what they do. But we are all, technically, spoofing the Caller ID.
Well, the LCD screens really dropped in price, right after a bunch of manufacturers were busted for Price Fixing their products. So I'm thinking you're not too far off...
In addition to sysprep, if you are running Vista or Windows 7, you can use the tool DISM.exe from the Windows Automated Installation Kit, to inject plug and play drivers into your offline image. You also might really, really want to look at the MDT 2010 tool from Microsoft. It does make deployments of windows easier when it comes to drivers.
If you post all information online, then you, the pissy taxpayer, can go look and see exactly why there is no money. The project will cost almost no money. Its taking data the government already has and uses, and you can get with a Freedom of Information act, and probably doing it cheaper and easier then dealing with those.
Instead of going to your tea parties bitching about why the government spends all your money, you can go with a list, and bitch about line item X, Y, and Z, and actually have a productive argument, that someone might be able to fix.
Not only that, but Oracle makes money selling a clone of Redhat to its customers as part of its total support package. You can run your Oracle DB on an Oracle Unbreakable Linux box. http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/index.html
I think it was put in there, because the students weren't given the opportunity to excercise that right (nor the 4th amendment). How nice of that administrator to hide behind the very document they tried to shred to pieces.

Right, and when these special interests are reporters, or Bloggers that later get the attention of reporters, its amazing how fast things change.

Um.. How can you afford not to know where your money is going right now?
If you post all information online, then you, the pissy taxpayer, can go look and see exactly why there is no money. The project will cost almost no money.

Do they have to carry "The Catcher in the Rye" on themselves to be a "stream-of-consciousness" manager?
