plus their office is practically outside my front door (as opposed to my current 45 minute commute each way). This would make a massive difference to my life.
The commute alone is worth switching for. That's an (unpaid) hour and a half of your life that you get back.
Don't be foolish. Ask for the matching raise _and_ the ability to work from home 2 days a week. Else you'll have to take the other offer. Not much to it.
So if all blackberry users used the phone icon 11% less over a 5 year period the ability to dial would be removed? Personally I used the command on mac or start on windows button very often for a number of reasons. I cannot understand the advantage of removing either.
It holds the high usage data until it can be written to disk (cold data). It won't be useful if you're running SQL databases with 80gb instances, but would certainly speed up your everyday PC-type activity.
One of our kids is two and regularly uses his iPad to watch his favorite NickJr shows, play puzzle games, and interact (rather poorly I might add), with musical instruments.
Why is Maine waiting until these kids are 5? My child mocks their tech naiveté!
We've slowly been migrating back to white box servers as the cost of great hardware declines and the ability to tailor the project directly to the needs of the specific instance increase dramatically. We have some boxes with 12 SSD on Raid10 with redundant power, and other boxes with 4 Sata 1TB drives unstriped with 12 Gigabit nics. Customs don't take long to setup once you have the handle on how to match your components, rack, power, etc.
The major hardware providers have to mark up every step of the way to make enough money for shareholders. The hardware gets a markup, the division that assembles it gets a markup, the OS installer gets marked up, the warranty which is from a foreign source gets marked up. What's left for the buyer? Lots of bloatage.
There is no such thing as poor performance on an SSD, unless you allocate it poorly. The fact that most companies aren't paying attention to fantastic ways to get reasonably priced SSDs into their equipment just proves that hype is awesome and smart still sucks. Luckily for me, smart is still making money (though not nearly as much as hype).
This continuing argument about Saturday delivery is first, highly flawed, and second, not going to save any reasonable amount of money. The Postal Regulatory Commission says it will take 3 years to implement and only save about 1.7 billion a year starting in the fourth year. And even the GAO states that "it would also reduce service; put mail volumes and revenues at risk; eliminate jobs; and, by itself, be insufficient to solve USPS's financial challenges".
So while the PO loses its one attractive monopoly, it also fails to meet its financial obligations. The whole Saturday argument is just a scapegoat for Donahue to push along - then send the next PM over to beg for something else next year.
The initial victory in 2006 was in part due to the inability of the courts to grasp exactly what companies like 360 do for a living, and even less of an understanding how much they earn from their misdeeds. Everyone has a right to make cash, but to blame your entire shoddy organization's profits on a non-profits attempts to filter out noise is ludicrous to begin with and naive at best. Roll forward to 7 years since the suit was filed and you have a court that's at least partially educated and in some further sense, biased against spam operations. Cheers to Spamhaus for putting up the funds so the rest of us can enjoy a normal life.
They sent the link from an apple store app as their right to license of an image? Something smells less legal. If Google will react to such a weak request you can probably send them anything you want and get any app taken down.

It's a relative proposal. The need for a guy and a server has waned as cloud computing becomes the viable option for a small company. Sure you can drop in a NAS if you know even the smallest thing about computers and setup email with any of many cloud providers. But is that going to work when the office is 10 executives instead of 10 social media marketers?
The life of the cloud I think is what is exaggerated. The massive cost reduction the providers are seeing in providing the distributed data are due in part to offshoring and offhosting. A great deal of firms really can't bear that, especially with the US reaching further into data banks without warrants looking for whatever activity might suit them. The pullback is inevitable - its only a question of when.
Either cloud will start to look less attractive or IT firms will build better scaled systems. Usually when the hour looks bleakest is when the opposite happens. I would keep my eye out for local infrastructure changes that bring IT back in-house and delegate cloud computing to insensitive data and socially interactive applications. Having 200 people from a city I never heard of in a country I've never visited be in charge of all my material assets is a problem.
At least with the IT guy you know where you stand, and who's looking.
While you are at it, teach them CTRL+C (Command+C) and CTRL+V and CTRL+A. At least 25% of users have never seen any of these amazing combos in action either.

Your cat is dead a very small percentage of the time, likely only half the frequency with which you observe your cat.
Sadly, there's nothing better than MSSE + a good AV/AS firewall.

Straps and brackets cost too much. We pay one tech to find cables
In America, climatologists get sued and harassed for making public statements about global warming.
There is no fight. You cannot reason with stupid.
That's like saying a congressman becomes a scientist when he mentions inertia. Your flawed logic does not work here.

Well at least I got a 'sir' out of it.
