There is an open source cluster management stack called UniCluster available at http://grid.org. (disclosure: I work for the company that makes UniCluster). Its intended for managing HPC clusters but it can do everything that you're looking for in one tool. It has support for ganglia, nagios, cacti already built in and adding new third party components is pretty simple. It has a tool to push config files around and will do bare metal provisioning (ie. setup PXE and kickstart for you).
I'll second that. I also worked for Moto during that time also and the only impressive thing that came out of the office of the CTO was the lack of innovation coming out of the office. The CTO of the country doesn't need to be someone with an impressive resume who's never actually done anything or created anything substantial, it needs to be someone who has actual experience innovating and growing innovation.
Clearly you haven't seen what Oracle is doing with Xen. They're basically taking Xen and wrapping all of the enterprise features you mentioned around it. http://www.oracle.com/technologies/virtualization/index.html
In the US its usually up to the service provider as to which toolkits their phones support. For example, Verizon only allows Brew apps on their phones whereas SprintPCS only allows J2ME. With J2ME your can develop and download to the phone for free, with Brew you can't. Google for "j2me" and "sprintpcs" and you'll find more.
Sprint PCS offers what you're looking for. Let me rephrase that, they let you do what you're looking to do. Basically, they use J2ME which you can download the SDK for (free) and then download to your phone. Verizon uses Brew which doesn't let you do that, they require you to go through them. With Sprint you can roll your own apps and download them from the web if you have your MIME types set correctly. Google for it, you should find all the info you need.
Are you insane? 19"? 21" is the bare minimum for anything even sitting on an "enterprise" network. Dual monitors or flat screens are becoming more common too.
Yep,
I work for a big company but work in a group that does a lot of things together. We play softball, drink, play poker, drink, go to strip clubs, drink, hang out, drink...
Having said that, I don't know of any other groups at this very large company that actually do this so we may be fairly unique.
Do you friends have the same service provider (Sprint PCS/Version/etc.)? It could just be that the nearest antenna for your provider is farther away from your place and their providers antenna is on your roof.
The company I work for is doing the same thing. They haven't done it already because it's never been done before. With CDMA phones it's not as simple as looking for a specific frequency, they have to identify the phone by the code it uses to decode the signal.
People I work with have been working very hard to modify the basestation software to allow them to search for a particular phone. They are basically strapping a small base station to their back and walking around the rubble.
1. Is your problem.
2. Sounds like the same problem as #1.
3. Is probably a capacity issue. The cell towers can handle a finite amount of calls at a time and with all the cell phones at Adobe they're probably just maxed out.
4. Ummmm....sure...
GPRS isn't really 2.5G. 2.5G is what is currently being field tested in Japan (DoCoMo). GPRS is only 64Kbs, I'm not sure on the exact numbers but I think 2.5G starts out in the 144 Kbs range.
No it wasn't. Your thinking of GPRS which is at best 2.5G. 64K is not 3G.
Strap on a set and go CS

CS vs CIS
·
· Score: 1
CIS is fine as long as you want a CIS job. There's nothing I hate more than working with someone who has a CIS degree and trying to do the job of a CS. The foundation is just not there. At my school CIS majors couldn't take a lot of programming classes but could get programming jobs because a lot of places see "Computer...whatever" when they look at a degree and the HR types don't know the difference.
Of course if you're really up for a challenge (which it doesn't sound like you are) go CE like me;)
"dual band" refers to the phones ability to communucate using two different frequecy bands (not at the same time). Basically, most parts of Europe use one fequency band (eg. 900 MHz) while parts of Africa and Asia use another (1800 MHz).
The nokia phone only supports one standard (GSM) in different frequencies. Here in the US we don't use GSM, we use CDMA or analog. Someone mentioned that they have a "dual band" phone in the US. What they have is a "dual-mode, dual band" phone. This means that it can handle two different standards (dual mode) and the two different frequencies (dual band) needed depending on if the phone is in CDMA or analog mode.
They rated the max radiation. So this would be the level when you are as far as possible from the basestation and also, only when you are transmitting (ie. talking). For the part of the phone call while your listening the phone isn't transmitting.
Basically, they make it seem like phone X is always cranking out Y radiation when in reality, none of the phones constantly are sending Y radiation.
I was in the opposite situation (before I saw the light;) ) The school had gcc and I wanted to use gcc for dos because then I could do it from home.
The biggest problem I had was in reading and writing files. I didn't take into account the differences between DOS and Unix text files. That bit me in the ass a few times.
My suggestion would be to crosscheck frequently between g++ and codewarrior. Also, never turn in anything before testing it on the schools platform.
Not true. The amount of bandwidth per cell depends on how wide the pipe is between the cell and the switch. This is typically T1, E1 or fiber. With one E1 you get 2Mbit, add another E1 you get 4Mb and so on. I do this for a living, I should know.
Yeah, Motorola is doomed...that's why their stock price is back up to near 100 and they're winning huge contracts all over the world. Yes, the screwed up and missed the digital wireless boat and the asian economy killed them for a while (like there was anything Motorola could do about the asian economy) but they're coming back strong and turning a profit. Just because you got scared and ran off to a different company is no reason to trash them.
This does not mean that anyphone with this chip will support all standards. It certainly makes this easier but that's not the main goal. The main goal is to have the same chip in all of the phones so Motorola engineers don't have to mess with 2 different chips if they're working on CDMA and TDMA. It just provides some continuity to their phones and saves them money by not having to update chips for each of the standards.
By the way, I've actually seen one of these things...yeah, I'm cool.
Linux Central is selling just the binary disk for $1.95. For another $1.95, you can get the source disk. (they're taking pre-orders now for shipping next week)

Actually, the Bells keep their uptime at 7 nines. Cellular shoots for 5 nines (obviously this is for the network not people in elevators).

Wrong, no they didn't. Read the fine print. No GSM carriers in the US are anywhere near rolling out 3G. AT&T Wireless = GSM
Sprint PCS = CDMA

Have you ever been stuck in traffic due to a "gapers delay"? Yes, sad as it is, many of my fellow americans are stupid sheep.
