Sure, but the problem is more what was being sold. If WV had asked for switches instead, I am sure Cisco would have sole them big 6500 series switches for their tiny libraries anyway. The problem here is the scale of the solution, not the solution itself. Routers were appropriate here, but certainly not the size of the ones they bought and installed.
Actually, I graduated without a dime in student loan debt. I worked full time and went to school full time (with a very understanding employer). Now, I am a hiring manager in the world of IT. I value experience, but a degree shows that you have some soft skills to go with your knowledge. A degree with business courses also shows me that you will understand other functions of the company, and not just your own job. An engineering degree shows me you are able to solve complex problems and have learned to research well. Even a liberal arts degree at least shows me you are able to meet deadlines and focus. Certifications will get your foot in the door, whereas a degree will move your career path along.
I hate to say it, but Disney hasn't destroyed the Marvel franchise in my mind...they improved it. Disney is known for doing things well...I see Lucasfilms as being in good hands.
And this is the state that has Silicon Valley...you would think there would be a lot of good expertise in the computing arena for the state to tap in to. However, in their defense, this happens constantly in the federal government too. So much money wasted...
As someone who has had the FBI in for an investigation, what you are saying is not entirely true. They came in, did images of drives on the servers, confiscated only a handful of laptops, and carefully inventoried everything. They were pleasant to deal with, and left our infrastructure intact. Our issue was with an employee engaging in poor beahvior, and we chose to be cooperative. Perhaps that is the difference...how you treat them.
I do want Congress to pass a law banning cable franchises by local and state governments.
I do want laws specifically enabling municipal internet utilities, especially on this new bandwidth.
Aren't those two items mutually exclusive? Most of the "municipal internet utilities" would end up using coax cable, just like Time Warner/Comcast/Cablevision/etc.
Your point stands, but email discoveries are directed towards the email systems (such as Exchange). I have yet to ever see a subpeona for a phone (with 14 years of running various versions of Exchange)...
Because the enterprise never uses third party software.
We, the "enterprise" I.T. guys realize that you should not need third party software to get the basic functional. Third party software is installed to meet a business need, not make the OS functional.
And I'm pretty sure they have non-internet connected systems in place
I believe Stuxnet was not delivered over the internet as well. You can target non-internet connected devices with a bit of social engineering or espionage. Regardless, taking out critical infrastructure through cyberwar could lead to large amounts of deaths.
It was odd to me as well. We do have an extradition treaty with Belize, so they could charge him and request him back. I'd like to see how he plans on dodging the FBI or Marshall's service.
I like my Smart TV's apps and internet capability. I much prefer using the builtin Netflix/Hulu+/Amazon apps than running cables to another device. As it is, I ran power into a outlet in the wall behind my mounted TV. No cables, entertainment center or any other furniture are needed. I also got a sound bar mounted right above the TV for better sound. Not everyone wants a PC sitting in their room (and some of us like the simplicity of a single device).
Better yet: 1. Buy books at Barnes and Noble. 2. Use a Kindle Tablet. 3. Listen to music on iTunes. 4. Search with Google. 5. Use Microsoft Xbox for gaming. 6. Use Linux for the desktop. 7. Watch movies on Netflix. Let's see the advertisers figure that one out.
So none of the content that I paid for will work on my Nexus 7.
Funny, I watch Amazon Instant Video just fine on my Nook Tablet. Granted...I have to use the browser and no fancy app, but it does work. Have you tried watching Amazon through the web browser? Perhaps bookmark the page to make it one click away?
Perhaps they should mark the author and publisher accounts differently than the average population (similar to/. subscribers)? The viewer of the reviews could then see the bias (if there is one). Seems simple enough, as I do like having the Amazon review system in place.

Yes...and I believe Dreamworks uses ILM. I sense a contract not being renewed in the near future.
So the happiest places are the Rocky Mountains, the northern New England states, and Hawaii? Glad I live in the Rockies...

Well, grand. Now the world will know I am underpaid. Perhaps you all could start a grassroots effort to get me a raise?

and often am involved to correct mistakes made by those from MIR. GaTech, etc. etc.
To be fair, Radiology graduates may not make the best IT employees....YMMV.

Dlink is hit and miss. If you find a good model, they are fantastic, but you have to find the good ones in their piles of bad models.
Someone has been watching Revolution....

Yes, we need a gun that shoots well thought-out theses on a given subject.
College and high school kids would love you...
He goes there for the articles...
I'm sure whoever owns SteveBallmer@hotmail.com got the dumbest people around emailing them when hotmail came out too :P
Actually, only smart people were on the internet in 1996...oh wait...AOL was much bigger back then.

Steam isn't using Amazon AWS by any chance are they?

A good quality introduction into managed switches
So...a gateway drug...?
