Why isn't there an IP transmission option for faxes?
Probably because of e-mail having made paper faxes about 98% obsolete so nobody bothered to promote with any vigor, any form of ip-enabled fax transmission protocol so there never has been any serious enough demand for it to come into common use.
When the aircraft designer puts the flap lever right next to the gear lever and makes them look and feel exactly the same, who is to blame when the pilot accidentally retracts the gear while on the ground after landing?
...because everybody and their uncle's wazoo already has a RAZR and won't be eligible to get another carrier-subsidized phone until their 2-year contract comes up for renewal.
IT is a cost of doing business, just like sales and marketing, why the suits want to farm out everything they do not understand themselves is never understood by those that actually do the work.
It's because the "suits" mostly come from a background of S&M (sales & marketing) and have a deep-seated resentment being at the mercy of in-house IT from days of their pasts. As they worked their way up thru the corporate ladders and finally made the big time after almost all of them having "payed their dues" coming up from entry level sales positions in their career beginnings, most of them have sworn personal oaths to never ever allow the geeks to have an upper hand over them again. They carry this psychology into the senior positions when they finally become VPs, CEO's etc., and outsourcing of IT is one of their revenge mechanisms. They genuinely gloat with sick pleasure inside when they watch the dismantling of their formerly internal IT operations.
At least this is what I've seen 5 times over in the almost 20 years and 5 corporations I've worked at during my career in IT.
D/FW is a great tech megalopolis. Technology jobs abound most plentifully here, and living expenses are very reasonable. Plus, we have five Fry's Electronics stores here, a Microcenter, dozens of CircuitCity, Bestbuy, CompUSA, etc chain stores, plus stores like Tanner Electronics (sponsor of annual robot shows) and Tucker Electronics for test equipment and specialized electronics lab instruments.
Something Engineers need to do to when scheduling their projects.
From the ST:TNG episode Relics, an engineer should always heed the wisdon of Scotty's words.... (shamelessly plagarized from a past/. posting)
Scotty: "Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now and they want it their way. But the secret is to give them only what they need, not what they want." LaForge: "Yeah, well, I told the captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour." Scotty: "How long will it really take?" LaForge: "An hour." Scotty: "You didn't tell him now long it would really take, did you?" LaForge: "Of course I did." Scotty: "Laddie, you got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker!"
Will these phones be GSM or CDMA? And are there any carriers lined up for them? I'd predict they'll likely be GSM since most USA CDMA carriers like to cripple the snot out of their phones and remove all the cool features unless they can nickel and dime their customers out of pay-per-use of those features. Heaven forbid you wish to make your own mp3 ringtones without buying them from the carrier or anything like that, or dare to use BT for anything other than connecting an earpiece.

Here is someone obviously talented in mathematics and science. Someone who obviously is intelligent and can be readily a "qualified american" engineer.
Yet, he chooses to go into law.
He knows that's the fastest path to becoming extremely wealthy and financially independent. He's actually demonstrating that he's not stupid at all!!!!
Exactly. Neat-looking network and server racks are for taking photos for glossy magazine and sales brochure covers. In a *real* IT shop, like the ones I run, things can change on a daily basis... sometimes several times each workday. We keep our racks just neat enough to be serviceable and flexible for the rapid config changes and equipment installs and removals we perform very frequently.

What's their obsession with this?
Their fundamental obsession is with establishing continuous revenue streams.

So the MPAA must've called the BSA and had his SQL Server license revoked?

The airplane designer... of course.
Everybody knows the flap lever is supposed to be a big manually-operated "johnson bar" lever on the floor between the front seats that is unmistakable to identify, and doesn't need any electricity to operate... like a properly designed airplane should be done!

You'd be surprised how many corporations with large IT operations now must have one or more attorneys on their IT department staff nowadays.

Nokia makes (made?) the 6019i for the CDMA carriers, and it is a basic, plain-jane phone with excellent RF, battery life and durability.
I, for one, welcome our new vista big overlords.
I, for one, sure as hell don't.

The question is, what can't they do?
And the answer is: They can't sell *me* a copy of their legally crippled new piece of shitware.
Can they sell *you* one?
So if (when) SCO goes bankrupt, what are the implications for those companies that use their OS?
;-)
Not much too different from companies who based their IT systems on other OS's that went defunct(BeOS, Amiga, MPE, VMS, IRIX, DG/UX, OSF/Tru64, etc).
They migrate their systems over to Windows instead.

None of the local network TV broadcast stations here bothered to break away from regular programming to cover the launch. They all suck.
