It has to do with the fact that they're diesel. And if its running fine, why stop it? You don't want to stop it once and have it not start back up when your job and livelihood depends on it. It may cost another buck or 2 in petrol, but you get power and a/c AND you don't turn off the engine.
Besides, just like any other diesel, if its freezing outside, you have a hard time starting it.
just because we cover ourselves with all kinds of waste (even rotten food!!!) in the process of trying to recover 5 year old laser printers (so we can casemod them and put linux on them) doesn't mean we're not worried about our image.
Sort of strange to spend all that money then put the end users on VDSL. It's only got 1.5KM distance and 15Mbps. And we all know how reliable the great DSL is, I'm sure subzero temperatures won't affect it:\
I 100% agree that linux is not free or cheaper than other OS's when it comes to support.
I can tell you though, if you spend more money to get a qualified, competent, hard-working systems administrator, it is twice as good as spending that money on your OS and skimping on your employee quality.
But I do also agree that if you put an inexperienced (see MSCE high school grad) administrator in charge of either:
1) BSD/Linux (any flavor)
2) Win2k/NT/etc.
...chances are, you will have better results with the Win2k/NT OS. It's just the way it is nowadays. Windows is still easier to setup a service on (web, smb, etc.).
So your choices (if money is an issue):
1) higher paid employee running linux/bsd/etc.
2) lower paid employee running win2k
but I still can't have filenames longer than 64 characters...

This is also for those people who like to have an extremely nice visit in the hotel, possibly on business, and have plenty of money to spend.
I wouldn't mind having a very nice hotel if I go on a trip, would you?
RIGHT!

Same DSL service, same copper pair, same neighborhood device.
This happens a lot with Sprint. I know. I deal with them every single day!
see this is where you're wrong. never buy something expecting it to do a function properly. even if its advertised as a feature.
sheesh. how do you people make it across the street without getting run over?
