The Santa Clara Fire Department doesn't have the $40/month plan.
You're right, it's actually $37.99 plan. From yesterday's FA: "A Verizon government accounts manager named Silas Buss responded, saying that the fire department would have to move from a $37.99 plan to a $39.99 plan "to get the data speeds restored on this device." Later, Buss suggested that the department switch to a plan that cost at least $99.99 a month."
So what you should be saying is they are well equipped enough that they *shouldn't* have that plan. But all evidence points to the fact that they do.
Being a common carrier does NOT mean you need to provide an unthrottled service. It means all items (packets) delivered to you need to be treated equal without inspection, interception, or alteration.
Just becuase someone can file a complaint or sue doesn't mean they will win. It's an incredibly weak arguement for why this is a net neutrality issue with an even weaker affect on Verizon.
Another article, another piece to a solved puzzle. If you want to gain weight, what does google say? You have to eat more calories than you expend. The excess will be stored as fat. And if you want to lose weight, you do the opposite. This will never stop working.
Indeed. If you have an equation with an equals sign in the middle you can force the equation on both sides just by pushing one of the many variables really really hard.
Yep, the government is at fault for not following Verizon's rules. Good to know who really runs the country.
Don't be daft. The government is most definitely at fault for buying something not fit for service. What next Ford is at fault because the government chose to buy Ford Ka hatchbacks instead of firetrucks?
The government runs the country, and they should be held accountable for doing a good job of it.
Worked incredibly well? You mean in Iraq? In Libya? In Yemen? In Syria? You joking?
No but I am speaking overarchingly while you are looking for specific things that went poorly.
The world has been loudly demanding an end to American bullying and domination.
Yes it has. Incidentally America does more in the world than just fuck up a few middle eastern nations. And incidentally the things America has stepped away from aren't the ones anyone has complained about.
Now you should start reading the thread again from the top. You'll reliase we've gone full 180degrees and I am defending your country while you are attacking yourself. This has been quite interesting.
If someone still uses sharepoint, he have no idea what is doing nor why, he just throw some money to a problem and hope it solved it. If it is mission critical, it should never use sharepoint !
You've never worked in a large company have you. Protip: check your logic in at the door and report to lobotimization, we will issue you your building pass when you have drooled sufficiently from the process and your eyes show no more signs of life.
i never had a problem with sharepoint on linux so far.
And yet many of sharepoints functions don't even work properly even in Edge let alone anything other than IE. Don't underestimate the ability for corporations to find stupid edge cases and then implement them everywhere.
Hire a cheater and he will find the most efficient way of taking your money.
Well that is the goal of any employee. It sounds like your renumeration system does not favour outcomes but rather attendance. If you favour outcomes through renumeration the most efficient way of taking money is the most effecient way of achieving outcomes.
and have driven demand for more generating capacity in the power grid.
Yes by consuming the same energy as the industry, commercial and residential activities of a nation with 18million people at a time where emisisons and energy waste is considered critical, all the while bolstering the startup of decommissioned dirty power while the world is being screwed.
This planet is fucked. I just hope Elon builds the rocket in time.
Given how my TI-84 still works through years of abuse, being dropped, bashed, hit, tossed in a bag, and generally horribly mistreated,.... I think the world would be far better off if everything had a $100 base cost.
I'm hoping firefighters throughout the US keep that in mind when a Verizon building catches fire. "WEll, you know, we do have to prioritize our resources. Can't fight every fire..."
I'm hoping firefighters throughout the US actually selected the data plan specificly available for emergency services, unthrottled, and heavily discounted, rather than saving a few dollars a month to get a consumer internet connection instead.
A complaint is worthless given that the carrier offered a service specifically for emergency response departments that this emergency response department chose not to adopt.
The moment Verizon staff deliberately stepped over that line: it should have resulted in all their spectrum licenses and their FCC Telecoms license being placed in jeapordy. At the very least there should be a billion$ lawsuit for obstructing first responders.
As a matter of interest, why didn't the fire department actually use one of the plans that was directly created and available only to emergency service personnel?
TFA: "The short of it is, public safety customers have access to plans that do not have data throughput limitations," Buss told Prziborowski. "However, the current plan set for all of SCCFD's lines does have data throttling limitations. "
Verizon could have done some better customer support in this regard, but really the root of it is that someone "cost optimised" a critical service.
If you instead do what Verizon is reported to have done, and directly impede crisis response, you should expect a lawsuit for the value of the destroyed land and property.
From TFA:
"The short of it is, public safety customers have access to plans that do not have data throughput limitations," Buss told Prziborowski. "However, the current plan set for all of SCCFD's lines does have data throttling limitations. "
Also of note from TFA is that the fire department are running a plan worth $37/month. I wouldn't trust my own internet connect on such a plan. At what point do you stop blaming capitalism and start blaming the cost cutting idiots who think this kind of connection without a proper SLA is worthy of being used for emergency response scenarios?
If they are anything like the power company I used to work for they looked at the bill, said *fuck that* and bought a consumer grade connection.
While investigating reliability problems for a remote telemetry system on a cooling water pipeline I discovered that the service had been "cost optimised" from a dedicated leased line to an ADSL modem on a consumer plan back when leased lines were being abolished. The reliability problems cost us far more than the $3000 / month that was saved.
What are the chances that other problems will be discovered after tape-out of the new processors?
100%. The average CPU product line has hundreds of eratas (hardware bugs) over its life across the entire industry. It just happened that these specific bugs were security related.
The cheater obviously. They have shown to be able to get to the top place with far less effort. Providing they prove their ability to treat the sewer they shat in, why hire the innefficient one?
Sure that works now with Ryzen, but how well does that work for all the times AMD is out of the running? For much of the past 10 years you were far better off buying Intel and living with the performance hit from the patches.
Rogue superpower, world police, global tyrant disregarding the UN isn't institutions that the US created. It is precisely the shit we are giving the US for doing. However your timescale is especially silly given the wide level of support the previous administration had internationally.
All we hear on the ground is what racist, sexist, transphobic monsters we are.
Maybe it's time to switch off Fox and Friends.
And fat, don't forget fat-shaming.
Why is that relevant? Fat people get shamed all over the world. You're not special in that regard.
Please tell us where we overweight, bigoted shitheads are hailed as saviors. Did you know we rape 1 out of every 4 women who enter our university system?
Oh I see now. You're getting America confused with Americans. Don't do that. Frankly we don't care about you enough to pick on you directly. Individually we don't care that you rape your women, go off on racist rants, or eat yourself to death. What we criticise is when this activity becomes government sponsored, and when you stick with the discussion point at hand it's worth remembering that internationally America is not a group of peoples, but rather a nation playing politically on the international stage, and remember that for the past 20 years that has worked incredibly well. Your collective has only been represented as overweight bigoted shitheads since precisely January 20th 2017.
I was referring to their pricing of their new boards, not the fact they announced them.
Oh well then you shouldn't be. In the price performance range they are not at all out of the ordinary. The lower end of the cards competing with AMD's offerings are price competitive. The upper range of the cards carry about a 30% price premium per FLOP vs the budget offerings and about 50% vs some of the higest performing per dollar cards. This is perfectly normal pricing for new high end products and has been for 20 years.

They care about their customers.

if your mission requires a sharepoint script then it isn't a very critical mission
Don't underestimate the stupidity of a multinational.

Corporations around the world take issue with your statement.
Can Wine run a custom mission critical sharepoint script?
AvE, is that you ?
Oh please. He's far from the only grumpy old man in the world :-)

Grow the f..k up.
Why? Only growing old is compulsory. Growing up is voluntary.

Use AMD instead.
