Why not just put all the wired bandwidth going to their DSL infrastructure in my area to the closest towers, and then give every one a 4G hotspot? You can talk about spectrum space this and that, but DSL is just as limited in regards to physical infrastructure. (IE must be X miles from a DSLAM to get speed Y).
Why not make the ultimate set-top box? You only have to plug it into the wall and your TV. The unit is completely wireless (4g or whatever newer tech), and also acts as your wifi hotspot.
I have a HTC Hero, and I recently upgraded it to something like Sense 3.5 (with the ring at the bottom of the lock screen that you can drag stuff to).
TRUST ME, you cannot and should NOT be upgrading this phone to that version for your typical user.
It lags, has very little space left over after the base install, and just doesn't run as smoothly as it did before. I only keep it on for a few reasons: - Free wifi tether (sprint FTW) - better battery use (I know its crazy, but it seems way better) - UI is cleaner and easier to use once you get past the lag here and there
I could go back, but since I am due for a upgrade, I thought id attempt rooting a phone, and if I bricked it, id just upgrade. Since I haven't I'll gladly wait until some new quad core HTC phones come out. (I am still paying the "reduced" sprint fee since I signed up before the "additional 10 bucks a month for 4g, err all smartphones" policy was pushed out)
Just like how System Restore works SOOOO well to protect you from infected...
Give it 6 months, and there will be a whole group of maleware that can break through to those "clean" files, so when you reset your computer, you stay infected.
However, in some cases the BUSINESS says that the IT department DOES perform some of those jobs... (specifically A and C most likely)
When it is the IT department who is on the line for security related incidents, you can be damn sure the IT department should get to set the security policy.
Legal all the way up to the State. Taxes from sold product goes back into the system and is used for the enforcement of the actual laws. IE it goes back into the state fund and is used for more regulators, more inspectors, etc to make sure they are up to code and doing everything legally.
The ONLY thing they haven't regulated there is the THC content. There are regulations for waste water, waste clippings, where the product is cured, dried, stored (in a vualt), security required, etc. Everything gets audited quarterly or semi annually (can't remember which one it is).
Right now they have one of the best legal frameworks already on the books and being enforced.
Don't we have that secret orbital plane that is basically a replacement for the SR71?
I would think that sucker takes the crown. Can stay up for over 200 days, no re-fueling, can be over any area of the globe within hours, hard to spot, etc.
It's "easy" for someone with 8 years of Mandrake experience to switch to kubuntu 11? Now, someone with 8 years experience of 98/XP would have it "hard" when migrating to Windows 7?
I love the fair and biased comparison here./sarcasm
An "End-User" is _ALWAYS_ going to have a difficult time migrating, regardless of the OS, however any technically savvy "computer person" will be able to make either migration easy.
I don't know about you, but in both Linux and Windows, I learned by messing around, be it clicking on random tabs / buttons / icons or typing commands with random arguments.
Someone who used Mandrake for 8 years is NOT a "end user" and never will be. However, that person who used 98 / XP for 8 years is _MOST LIKELY_ a "end user"
Your whole "User Friendly" rant is pointless because you are writing about points that matter to YOU. That married couple down the street may want to be prompted for a password, and may "need" the AV software.
The issue is that they did not know how to properly setup a letter in the word processing application (Be in MS Word / LibreOffice / whatever).
If you don't know how to either:
A) Use a letter template from the base application install B) Create your own letter properly with Address / Name / etc C) Use Google to look up how to do this for the question
You should most definitely be removed from the stack.
We need attainable space travel a-la Firefly, BSG, B5, etc for anything to really go further.
At some point in the future, assuming everything gets automated, where does everyone live? If no one is "earning" a living, how do we pay for our land? Who will be around to protect us when someone decides to say that is theirs?
Why does person A get a 2000sqft area in building D floor 100, when person B gets 2000000sqft by the beach?
Give everyone space travel, (and already have the automation in place), and space will no longer be an issue. I can go find a planet to live on, or just travel the infinite darkness for the rest of my life.
The real question is how can someone build drone piloting software that actually works well on Windows?
I just don't see any type of Windows platform offering the kind of precision & computing speed needed to control a UAV 100 to 10,000 miles away.
Seems like something you would want done in the fastest language available, not some hodgepodge of.NET & Silverlight. (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little)
It may not be "open-source" in that there is no source code available for it, however it is freeware and is required for any Windows Administrator that always has multiple RDP sessions running.

4G in my area is faster than DSL.
Why not just put all the wired bandwidth going to their DSL infrastructure in my area to the closest towers, and then give every one a 4G hotspot?

So, anyone know where I can go to try and purchase some of this hardware? My guess is it will be sold off extremely cheap.
Need a few more dev servers!

He isn't saying to outsource IT, he is saying to break it off into its own business unit at the company.
Give IT a bit more control, and make it a separate entity that is accountable on its own (instead of taking the engineers down maybe?)
Crap, looks like I missed a few.
So:
Pascal, Pawn, Perl, PHP, PL/I, Plus, Prolog, PureBasic, and Python ?
This is already happening in Colorado.

Does that make ANY sense to you though? I can encrypt a e-mail / PDF, but can I encrypt a Fax?
Didn't they use Crays in Net Force as well?
As more and more workers are obsolete, your pool of potential customers will begin to drastically dry up.

Or I could spend that hour it takes to prep, cook, serve, and clean doing something useful.
If I make 15/hr, working for an hour then going to eat somewhere like subway seems like the winner?

Oracle ?
Don't say Microsoft.
US Gov?
And even if 5% of the non-paying Java users out there decide to convert to some future paid-java enterprise license version, Oracle ends up winning :(
