It was closer to 300 million to cover it with a tarp of sorts - and that's because the only feasible way the engineers determined they could do it was by building a dam in the middle splitting the reservoir into two.
Chromecast is pretty great, but as it is merely an extension on the pc/mac within chrome all you can do is view a single tab of the browser, or use one of the services. I'm not concerned with broadcasting my entire desktop or laptop environment to my tbs, I just want access to all of my tvs, movies and music in he. With plex media server and plex apps, I now have easy, user friendly access to all my media on my tvs or other devices (cell, tablet, and my roommates can access my media content on their devices as well).
Totally off topic, but I ended up getting drunk with a bunch of people that are here in town for SC13 last night. Those boys can drink. But I'm surprised that there wasn't more talk about Tianhe-2 there, and how Chinese is going to kick the US off the top 25 in international supercomputing.
Probably because most STBs are complicated as all hell and with each software update manage to mess things up on HD channels. Plus, HD channels experience a little lag when channel flipping that SD channels don't experience (usually).
I will miss being able to walk around a movie store and just see what's available - from new releases, to classics, to random indie or foreign films. Sure, I can probably find most of that on Netflix and their recommendation system isn't too shabby, but it doesn't replace that experience of walking around and talking to other movie watchers in person.
There are other problems, sure, but this was easily fixed:P Truth be told, the owner didn't (doesn't) care about the restaurant as long as it doesn't lose her a lot of money. She mostly is across the country catering on-scene locations.
Um, I worked for a Fortune 200 (telecommunications industry) and my team alone would generate over 5 petabytes of data every month and a half, give or take a few weeks. Mind you, my 'team' consisted of several hundred people, but we were a huge organization with over 40,000 direct workers and 39,000 contract workers. This type of organization is what this plan is aimed for....
The $250k limit is a pa limit. It's actually $21k a month, and any transaction after that goes to 2.75%. Same for any transaction over $400. Running a drink place (coffee shop, etc) - sure, costs are a lot lower. But to that Chinese take out, or the small hole in the wall breakfast joint that is only open from 7am-2:30pm yet manages to employ 13 people... that's a huge blow to the owner who doesn't get much profit (if any) out of the business to begin with. In my small example, switching to Square and using monthly pricing started giving her (the owner) a profit of around $400 a month which she put aside each month to try and expand so she could hire more people.
Actually, any single transaction over $400 was processed at 2.75%. All transactions over a monthly limit of $21,000 was processed at 2.75%, which equals a p.a. amount of around $250,000 a year. So this is essentially a huge blow to the small businesses (restaurants, food carts/trucks, pedicabs, etc etc). And they're selling it as a way for businesses to save money, by keeping the same 2.75% they've always charged per swipe. Oh, and the restaurant I managed (a small hole-in-the-wall) switched to Square's monthly plan because it saved us around $500 a month in processing fees vs phone or broadband based machines. Now I'm going to have to go back to that restaurant, I guess, and help them find a new solution - restaurants are low margin and our owner barely makes a hundred bucks a month of the restaurant, after paying food costs, rent and employing 11 people.
Why does it seem like I'm in the majority here on Windows 8? I understand most power users hate Windows 8 - but now that the average person in my classes this semester have gotten used to Metro, they actually really like it. I think one of the biggest issues with Metro is it's use on non-touch enabled laptops and desktops. The key to Metro is touch - without it, you need something different.
As far as Office goes, I have noticed I am a lot faster now using the ribbon interface than I was with the file menus.
I love how Netflix has most Star Trek movies available on Instant, with the exception of First Contact. Not that it was a great movie, but it really messed up my ST movie marathon.
Not a bad deal, at least as far as Google goes. Considering what Google charges for the 7/yr 5mb service (which is just a $300 buildout fee), the city basically just covered the cost for that. Free gigabit service to 25 public institutions (schools, universities etc).. not bad. And Google is going to finish building out to homes that were not part of the original build contract. All in all, not bad.
Especially if you look at iProvo's history - the city has been stuck with the bond payments the entire time, this just actually gets them something for holding that debt.
I was watching live feed as the second plane hit. Before that, my school went on lockdown and ushered all the kids away from the TVs (I was in the library and hid in the stacks so I can stay and watch) while all the majority of the teachers stayed in the library to watch the news. I'll never forget that second plane hitting - or the buildings start collapsing.
I'm pretty sure you have that backwards. I can get any and all of my data easily from Google - I cannot do the same with my years of data on my Facebook account. Sure, they have this nice little "archive" button in your account settings... but I've never been able to actually download my account archive from Facebook. And MSN/Live/Whatever branding they have now is far from dead - with Hotmail having around 300 million active users. Yahoo is around the same boat (email wise) with around 280 million active users.
And Facebook doesn't care? They switched everyone's email address to default to their username@facebook.com email system. If you don't want this you have to change it manually. Please tell me more how Google is trying to lock you in - at least Google provides a choice, Facebook just forces you to do whatever they want.

DiSH has several call centers designated just for sales, both cold calls based on "leads" and for incoming sales calls.
I worked for Comcast at one point, and everyone gets the cards (only a limited number) and you do go to a higher support agent when calling in.
Well, if you're hiring for a social media Jon.... Sure, those are indicators of your possible performance.
With the exception of Plex, that plays content locally. Www.plexapp.com
Alright. Looks like I need to drop the HTC Sense keyboard.. lol.

Thanks, but I'll stick to plex and chromecast
BASIC is where it's at, you insensitive clod!

Lucky you, but I have :P

I've been swindled! Curse you all!
I forwarded this comment to timothy and I didn't get a dollar. What gives?!

Yeah, the construction company that laid the lines didn't keep plans. /facepalm
