I'd much rather listen to the radio while on the train to work in the morning to hear free music, than have to spend $200-300 to fill out a nice collection of music. Sure I can illegally download TB of music, but that is besides the point. There's a few radio stations in my area that I like, and that's just fine. I've never understood how someone could legally afford to fill a 16GB iPOD. What is that, maybe $10k worth of mp3s?
Force companies to include radios? I don't agree with that, but I voted with my wallet and didn't purchase an iPOD but a Sony player.
What makes this comparison funny is that without all the networking innovation that Cisco has done, none of the Apple products would all that effective. Streaming Audio? Access to AppStore/iTunes... Quite a bit of the service providers and "them internet tube things" are cisco products...
Oh yeah and most of your online banking transactions run on IBM systems.

Remember the colored iMacs? Previously there were beige boxes. Remember the white ear buds? Previously there were black ear buds. Remember the macbook's built in handle? Previously there were no handles. Remember OSX? Previously there was Linux.
..are those that aren't dependent on the services or income that is provided by the taxes.
Don't think you ever need the fire or police department. Don't think you ever need a public library. Don't think you ever need the public works department (roads paved, cleared in winter etc..)
And I hope they don't have children that go to a public school.
To those that don't want to pay taxes, shut up and pay your fair share.
Depraved Indifference: "to bring defendant's conduct within the murder statute, that the defendant's act was imminently dangerous and presented a very high risk of death to others and that it was committed under circumstances which evidenced a wanton indifference to human life or a depravity of mind. . . . . The crime differs from intentional murder in that it results not from a specific, conscious intent to cause death, but from an indifference to or disregard of the risks attending defendant's conduct."
I hope for Julian Assange's sake that no Afghani or Iraqi informants are killed because someone figured out from the unredacted information who the informants are. His releasing of this information directly led to these informant's death.
On my desk phone at work, if someone calls from their desk or a number that is currently listed in the directory, their name and number shows up on the display. It's pretty obvious if someone calls up from an outside line. Now if the contestant is allowed to try to spoof my company's phone system into thinking they are from say, HR, more power to them..
"Depends" is your answer. Though I'm assuming you're talking about disk, not tape nor VTL. Do you buy direct from the manufacturer or through a channel? How big is your company? What's the total installed base so far? General Electric pays much less per GB than some midsize company with 100TB.
Do you mean for SATA disk in a tier2 array or SSD in a tier1 array?
Costs go up when you include snapshots and replication.
Do the editors even ask the submitter to be more specific?
I can just instruct my tape library to put the tapes in the library in alphabetical order in the slots... Y'know AA0000 AA0001 AA0002... moves a hell of a lot more than 1TB.
Obviously you don't have a camcorder and kids. Want to take pictures of their birthday? Snap of a bunch of pics, record them blowing out the cake, dad making burgers on the grill, mom doing dishes, kids jumping in the pool etc etc etc... all in 1080p... that'll eat up HD space in no time.
I agree on the fire concept, an attic fire would have taken them out. However, how many family albums do you have that people have looked at in years or decades. Go ask your family and friends how often they look at their wedding photos?
I had pictures (scanned in.gifs) once on my Mac 512k (circa 1985) on floppies. The floppies are currently sitting in a filing cabinet. Do you think it will be any easier to copy these pictures off in 5, 10 or 15 years?
Forgotten digital data may be as good as gone, but forgotten photo albums can still be opened up and looked at.
In forty years, those slides will still be sitting in a box and will be viewable. However, it's not like you can put a DVD/CD in your attic and let it sit there, forgotten, for 40years.
At last thanksgiving, my great-uncle brought over a hundred or so slides taken in the 50s. It's quite something to see your grand parents in the prime of their lives and your parents as little kids.
For the rest of us, we just need to hope that flickr/picasa is around in 40 years and someone knows the username/passwords.
Do you really think you can fly from SF to LA for $99? No. Because the damn fees for everything. I'm waiting for those airmasks to have the following instructions on them:
In the event of a lose of air pressure, please secure the mask to your face. Take a calm deep breath and then exhale normally so that it is replenished for the person in the seat next to you.

I personally don't believe that it'll make one difference how many calls the iPhone4 drops; people will still buy the phone. The "cool factor" outweighs the ability to make a phone call. Go back and look at the reviews of the original iPhone, it was always inferior to the other phones on the market, but people stood in lines for hours to buy one.
I have ATT, but with a Samsung Blackjack 1. It's ancient by today's smart phone standards, and I don't get any more dropped calls than anybody else I know. Funny though that we always say iPhone dropped calls are an ATT problem, not an Apple problem. Even now, we've got a million excuses, but when it comes down to it and a call is dropped people blame the carrier.
It's because the RIAA labels have radio, and the indies have P2P. P2P does in fact cost the RIAA labels sales; when you hear an indie song you like and buy the CD, that's money you don't have to buy RIAA music. The RIAA's war against "piracy" is a war against their competition.
I would have to disagree here, the lost sales don't come from Indie music, it comes from when you hear a song and instead of buying the CD, you go and torrent it. This isn't a RIAA vs. Indie argument, as an Indie musician only gave away their music they'd make less money than if people bought their music.
As a residential electrician, I can't wait for all electric cars to show up.:)
I make a pretty penny installing 240V outlets (like what your dryer/oven run off of) and upgrading service panels to 240-320V.
However, it would be interesting to see what the impact of say a street with the equivalent of a dozen new clothes dryers, which will take about 700W per car to charge.
One example is Brighthouse Labs with 4568 Apps, all virtually worthless.
How does apple approve of 4578 apps from one developer? I thought each app was audited? Or is some of the auditing done through heavy automation. Such that if you got Pacman approved whereby each dot you ate gave you one point, then you could make another pacman that each dot gave you 2points, and the second version was automatically approved.
Or, someone harasses you in game and you look to take revenge. Ninja looters, stealing quest mobs/items, kicking you from group/raid, etc. Maybe they simply want to threaten you (which already happens [NSFW] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUOI7BTmmk0 [NSFW]).

I go to a high school in which internet access is heavily filtered so that students cannot visit websites that are deemed containing questionable content. How can I subvert the filters and firewalls so I can reach sites that aren't questionable like National Geographic, The Library of Congress and the US Constitution online?
Whatever happened to respecting the rules of your hosts? Maybe we forgot what happened to Michael P. Fay in Singapore. He required Bill Clinton to literally save his ass.
Just tunnel NFS over SSH. I can't imagine how secure it would be to sneakernet any files around the office. If you need to encrypt the data at rest then either encrypt on the client or leverage an encrypted filesystem of a Decru type appliance.
If i want to deploy internal applications that aren't just a web interface to my CRM system, without jailbreaking the iPad can I load those on my iPad or do I have to go through the apple store? If I can have my own internal application repository maintained by my own IT staff, that would seem preferable than to load some app into apples store...

Looks like the Associated Press and Reuters wire articles must be good enough for the masses.
No different than..
Downsampled/compressed 720p streams sent to your 1080p capable TV
Downsampled/compressed music (mp3s) on your iPod.
The moral of the story here.. the masses love a great "value" and the most important factor is cost over quality.

First off, throw all the resumes with certifications in the circular file. Seriously: that's the first sign they don't know what they're doing.
You do realize that recruiters look specifically for certifications. Oftentimes they are just looking for keywords.
