I'd say the Internet is a Specific network of networks. If Comcast is receiving the shows from the studios via satellite telemetry, encoding them, then distributing them to your app via their own IP based network, no Internet connection is required. You're paying separately, via your cable subscription, for this network access. I have Comcast as my ISP, but I don't have cable. I have access to the Internet, but I don't have access to this.
The NET in Net Neutrality implies Internet. When comcast is delivering you a Netflix/Hulu/Vudu etc. stream, they're pulling it from the open Internet to deliver it to you. When you're using their app, the can deliver the same content completely over their own network. You're not using the Internet, you're using Comcast's WAN, so no Internet bandwidth is being used, so it shouldn't be charged. If I'm streaming a movie from my PC to my TV, it doesn't go against my cap either, because it's using my isolated network, not the Internet.
How about having teachers, a month or two into the school year, evaluate their own students on how well prepared they were for that grade. You'd then apply those ratings back to their previous year's teachers. If 5th grade teacher X, Y, and Z all show that Mrs. Smith's 4th grade students were studious and knowledgeable, but Mr. Robert's were inattentive and inept, Mrs. Smith could be rated Satisfactory, and Mr. Roberts... Un. There would be bias, as teachers in the same school/district would undoubtedly know both the other teachers and what students they had had, but statistical analysis and patterns over time could eliminate much of this.
Systemic pesticides don't wash off. They enter the plant and work from the inside. Root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, radish, etc) are pretty much sponges that suck up anything in the soil, pesticides included.
This is not the same thing is a million ton of steel hurdling toward you at 60 mph
Actually, it's very much the same. The SCADA systems that control our rail system would definitely be included in this.
No one's lives are at stake here.
Yes, they are. That's the whole point of 'critical' infrastructure.
The Internet has been working fine without Governments interfering.
What Internet is it that your talking about? The only one I'm aware of was Developed By the Government. Not sure how one can develop something without interfering with it.
Yahoo is an online services company, they just haven't figured it out yet. When Terry Semel came on board, he thought Yahoo was a content company, and worked hard with his Hollywood background to build that out. When he failed, Carol Bartz came on board with the idea that Yahoo was an advertising platform, and worked with Microsoft to expand that offering. Without a vision of how Yahoo can provide better online services to it's end users, no CEO will be successful.
These aren't email addresses with passwords to those accounts, they're the email address and password someone used to sign up for some random, unknown website. Without knowing what website, most of these combos are worthless. It might have been a hack of the server, but chances are it's just some DB (and not DataBase) admin who published his user list. If you're using the same email address to register for websites, make sure you don't use your password for that email address when you register.
Small companies can quickly and easily leverage open source software to save money, but in an Enterprise environment, once you've selected your platform, be it MS or Open, deviating from that platform can be costly. If you've got a standard MS desktop image rolled out across the hospital, are using System Center Operations Manager to manage them, and have business processes tightly integrated with Sharepoint, implementing open source now becomes a multi million dollar migration effort, and breaks the numerous benefits available from a homogeneous environment. Management dictating a Microsoft (or any other) ecosystem as policy, and requiring IT to support that policy is in line with Enterprise IT best practices.
There's truth in the truth argument. As a gov't agency, you can't provide an endorsement of a commercial product, but you're required to provide transparency in what you do. The public has a right to know how their tax dollars are (or aren't) being spent, so an information page on the site should fly. I'd follow federal guidelines though, and make sure you don't use any logo images, keep it text based.
Making sure that the privacy and protection of your data is included in the contract is paramount. What if the contract is breached, though? Also make sure that they have business liability insurance of a value equal to or greater than that of your data, just in case.
Regardless of what the actual machine does, it's still attached to the DoD's primary network, which has a lot of less boring info traversing it. By securing the boring stuff, you can keep it from becoming a host to those looking for the other stuff.
AT&T has managed to keep this out of the mainstream media
I'm in Arizona, and I saw that AT&T service was down in the midwest from multiple sources, before I finished my first cup of coffee. If there's been any lack of information reported about this, my guess is that's because the press is more concerned about hundreds of thousands who are without power in below freezing conditions, rather than a few people who can't make phone calls.
Parents lose big when a company downsizes or restructures their benefits. This is an indirect form of age discrimination because older folks are more likely to have families.
By the same logic, wouldn't offering ANY kind of benefits to parents be age discrimination against younger workers? Parents don't lose when 'parent only' benefits are reduced, they just no longer get preferred treatment.
Live streams require a solid infrastructure of distributed systems providing multi-cast feeds. Flash Server licenses on all those machines gets real expensive, real quick.
Having worked at a couple banks, I'd say that the type of business doesn't really have much to do with it. The banks I were at had an IT to total staff ratio of about 1:30-50. There were a limited number of systems, and we knew all knew them inside out. At those banks, the total number of employees were in the low hundreds, so a handful of us could cover the issues well. I'm with a much larger organization now, and the ratio has fallen to about 1:20. With the increased size of the org, the variance in and complexity of systems is greatly increased, so higher levels of staffing are necessary. A lot of enterprise IT isn't cost effective until it's providing services for 1000+ people, so in small orgs, it doesn't exist. Manual processes are sufficient. I'd say as a general rule, the larger the org, the tighter the ratio.
I don't see anywhere in the rules that says the orbit has to occur in space. Perhaps there's a way to attach a transmitter to a naturally occurring orbit ala migratory bird or ocean current type thing; just as long as it continues to go around the earth.
i tried crossing one of my legs under the other (right ankle under left thigh or vice versa) which was actually painful in the Aeron. The reason you hate it is the exact reason I love it. On most chairs, when I try to fold my ankle under my thigh, the armrests get in the way and I get cramped into the chair. With my Aeron, the armrests drop LOW, so my knee can rest on top of the armrest, and work as an armrest itself. I'm in it up to ten hours a day and haven't had the slightest bit of discomfort.
I don't think there's a person who's drank beer that can argue that a good Belgian Wit blows the doors off of Corona, but it's apple's and oranges. Both are beer, but it's like Fillet Mignon and a Micky D's cheeseburger; both are beef, both are good, but they have entirely different purposes. I'm a brewer, I've gone to Belgium for no other purpose than to visit breweries and sample their wares. When I'm lying on a beach in Mexico, however, there's nothing more refreshing than an ice cold Corona or Pacifico with a lime (not for taste, but to kill the bacteria on the rim). And if I want a good beer when I'm down there, the same brewery also make Negro Modelo, which is damn tasty.

They said it's a quad core retina though. Those would have to come from quadricorns.

All of the Armed Forces use the same pay chart. An E5 in the Army makes the same as an E5 in the Air Force.
