Funny, I have a current Bold 9900, and the battery easily lasts a full day with heavy email use and several hours of conference calls. I'm not sure what you're using, but I haven't run into the issues you're talking about since the original Bold like 4 years ago.
Conduits, even in new houses are expensive and difficult to install to every jack, and quite frankly, overkill.
I looked at conduit when I was rewiring my house. A buddy of mine is an electrician and had a very simple solution that circumvents most of the cost that you're referring to: central vac piping for conduits. It's low power wiring, so it's legal - and you don't need super clean endpoints - just bring the pipe close to the box and be done with.
Sigh. I hate articles like that, and I hate comments like this. Let me see if I can rephrase your comment.
I've been doing this stuff for lots of years, and I therefore have experience. I know what this issue is. It's new technologies. All the people dealing with new technologies are young and stupid. There's nothing wrong with old technologies, people are just too stupid to do them properly. The problem is the new technologies, and the people that come with them.
Now, granted, I sometimes harp on new things as being silly - but really, I know there's a valid use case for them. All new things get overused at first, and applied where they don't belong - but that doesn't somehow explain away gender issues, or this supposed "binge drinking" crap. Your post has damn near nothing to do with the article.
And seriously, relational databases are one of the biggest, overused, expensive, and wasteful technologies in the industry. Right up there with traditional SAN.
Do you have any experience in this field that would justify your position? Is there something in the paper that makes you think that this link is not correct? Have you a better idea of what may have caused this?
Possibly stupid question: where's the video that leaked? I can't find it on that site or the one it links to as a source. Anyone know?/Could be my noscript causing problems
I'm ready to lock and load to get MY America back.
So as someone from outside (I'm Canadian), I've come to the conclusion that the US will only solve it's issues that way. I'm truly saddened by it, and I hope it's quick and mostly bloodless, but I doubt it will be.
I know it's not a popular idea, but you have to admit: the level of vitriol in the USA has hit unbelievable levels. It makes my head hurt - for both of the major parties. You don't have political options any more - the only one that is an ACTUAL choice away from more of the same is Ron Paul. Too bad he's so far out to lunch. You're headed towards civil war. And right now all the religions folks have all the guns. Oh the irony.
I wish you the best of luck. Please, keep your military out of it, and protect your nukes while you sort this shiat out.
Several years ago, GoDaddy switch all of their domain parking to IIS, explicitly to get microsoft's numbers up. Throw 10,000 cnames pointed at a single machine serving up parking pages, and boom - 10,000 websites running IIS.
I did some research into this about a year ago - and decided to go with Plan International.
My criteria:
A large percentage of their donations had to go directly to the
Non-religious
Focused on third world countries
Infrastructure and educational projects
Long-term investment in specific locations
I give specifically to their water project. I think that while sponsoring a child is significant, I find that I'd rather put my money specifically into infrastructure. Water and Sanitary systems, in my mind, are more important than education within a community - and I figure many others put money into education.
Agreed. I submitted this post yesterday, by the lead developer for rsyslogd (the most common syslog daemon in linux these days). He makes the point that most of the complaints made are actually wrong if they'd bothered to look at the last 10 years of development and IETF work around syslog.
Because right now we're fairly certain they'd die - and not at the end of their natural life.
A lot more research, development, and money would have to go into the program to actually believe we'd have some chance of establishing an actual colony, never mind a self-sustaining one.
I won't argue with your premise - but for some anicdotal comment: I don't know a single person who has a Samsung Galaxy phone (old version or new) that hasn't had to replace it at least once for DOA type problems (died out of the box or within 2 months). I know one who had to replace it three times.
There are very few companies that get it, and you appear to be one of them. First, opensourcing open stack, and now spinning it off as a separate non-profit, you understand that when you build a piece of software for internal use, open-sourcing it will provide you better software. And some good publicity to boot.
So many times have I built internal tools that I thought were far better than the open source equivalents, but we were never allowed to release them. Sure, it's intellectual property - but your product isn't the mountain, it's the ski lift and the course markers. Why not get the best mountain you can, rather than insisting on getting YOUR mountain.
I'd suggest you watch this interview with King Abdullah. While it may be a monarchy, this is a Monarch I can honestly say impressed me. He's well educated, well spoken, and very aware of his own situation. I have no doubt that Jordan is likely to be one of the better middle-eastern states to live in under his leadership.
DBA: Really? Here, have a nice big frosty glass of shut the fuck up. Now go back to your toy scripting languages and leave the data to those of us who actually understand data storage.
That should be the end of the discussion right then and there. The problem with these script kiddies is that 99.5% of them don't fucking have a clue about data. They are the ones who still embed SQL statements, log in credentials and the like in their php/python/rails/whatever.scripting.language.is.popular.this.week code.
Congrats. You're the reason we get devs storing images in databases.
Either you have to educate your developers on what is appropriate to go into a relational database, or you need to get out of the way. Your attitude is exactly the reason NoSQL is picking up steam. I'm not a dev, but I've done dev work - nor am I a DBA, but I've done DBA work. And I can tell you, DBA's are often folks running around with a hammer: everything looks like a nail.
Devs, on the other hand, are looking for a solution, and thinking like devs: I'll build the solution to my problem! Of course, they usually end up reimplementing stuff other people have done.
If devs understood how full RDBMS's worked, database use would drop like a stone. If DBAs tool the time to understand requirements, database use would drop like a stone. NoSQL makes a _huge_ amount of sense. While you maintain your "script kiddies" attitude, the rest of the world will happily glide past you.
RDBMS's are 90% misused, and a massive waste of money. NoSQL is an overraction to that fact. Sometime in the future people will swing back to the middle and realize that files in directories are a surprisingly good way of storing data -- and each will have its place.
Jesus, +4 insightful? This is scientific ignorance at its peak, and nearly pure ad hominem.
The point of science is that it stands up to arguments like this _easily_. And the fact that its modded up here on slashdot, of all places, makes me sad.
Sorry, if you have a logical argument as to why this is preposterous, please feel free to cover it. I'll add credentials to the above quote just for good measure, so you're aware of the source of this statement and why he may be in a position to make such a statement:
Canada Research Chair in Energy and the Environment Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering, University of Calgary Adjunct Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy and Faculty of Environmental Design, University of Calgary Department of Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University
David W. Keith is a Canadian environmental scientist. He is director of the ISEEE Energy and Environmental Systems Group at the University of Calgary. He is a geoengineer and published research scientist. He is noted for his work in carbon dioxide air capture, and has been featured on Five ways to save the world on the Discovery channel.[1] In 2006 Keith was selected by Canadian Geographic as Environmental Scientist of the Year and Time's Heroes of the Environment (2009).[2]
By all means, please now back up your statement that his comparison is bankrupt with some form of proof. I think given the scale of air pollution, mining dangers and associated health issues and such makes his comparison quite a reasonable assertion.

There's some truth to this.

Hum. Directly to the project, rather.
