TFA is about a level of software that can cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions. The VC's are stupid to expect any company who would cut costs on enterprise software to succeed...all real enterprise software are governed by SLA's and no corp in their right mind would allow this on their network.
It works in games because your willing to put up with the inconveniences of the ads. An analogy to this is if the ads are analogies to the enterprise software's system-disrupting bugs that pop up in a corp environment. Then imagine that if you didn't "click through" on that ad within a few seconds, the "free app" got to charge you real $$$ each time, even a few cents. Would you play that game? That's basically the risks this "freemium" is trying, and failed. It's trying to shift the VERY real risks of failure into "hey it's free". If it spectacularly fails, companies are fined tens of thousands of dollars per hour/minute for breaking their contracts with each other. That is the "enterprise class" software world.
I could have told him that too...enterprise users don't care about cost really. We need something that works 99.999%, has reliable troubleshooting / tracking when it doesn't work, and 24/7 support specialists. It's all done under a financial penalty SLA (service level agreement). We can't skip on this as our clients already have us locked into contracts so the risk isn't worth the "free reward". When my client's stuff breaks, I have 15-30 minutes to ge5t the needed support on the line, no matter the time, across the planet and multiple time zone / languages. I would hate for the root cause to be tracked back to some "freemium" software that I installed; the ITIL change control should have caught this software before it was ever installed. No one is allowed to install software without a clearly defined ITIL compliant review system, all software must meet SLA requirements.
This reminds me of Uber using "alternative delivery" and sneaking past licensed taxi services; they are getting away with it in some places but in others are being found to violate local laws. Enterprise software has similar checks and balances, but is far faster to discover software without SLA requirements...either via hacks of non-compliant software (see Sony GOP hack exploiting SAP/Oracle/Java/whatever) or system failures and SLA fines (EDS's million dollar FAA SABRE outage fines).
true, I meant that more as the Chinese government itself has in place hacking programs and those groups are part of the ones hitting US systems. When your attacked by PLA Unit 61398, they aren't a group of disgruntled IT people like Anonymous but a fully-funded, Chinese military hacker group. That's what I meant there; China is flat out attacking the US with actual military units.
It's also against FAA rules to take out any flying craft, RC drone or 747. You can't even legally shoot one down if it's sitting outside your kids window filming them getting dressed.
I'm assuming you've never actually lived with an "opium addict". The changes in attitudes, the loss of perception, snappiness, angry outbursts, nodding off, reduced metabolism, I could go on and on. My "sample size" isn't just one person either. There really isn't a "maintenance-type" dose, the human body quickly become tolerant and needs more for the same euphoric effect and at the same time the numerous side-effects become more pronounced.
if you just wanted to smoke some, I doubt you'd put in the investment of the several months it takes to grow it lol. And if you have cats, forget growing it as they love it too and will constantly seek to consume / destroy it.
Then your going to be partially disappointed. The "elite" have already planned for this "revolution", that's why we're seeing all this Confederate flag crap. They know the situation is getting worse, so they've gotten the population to fight amongst themselves. What SHOULD be is "poor" black citizens and "poor" white citizens should be banding together to defeat their common enemy. Instead they are waving / destroying / fighting over a flag of a failed insurrection. The "poor" whites actually think the GOP is "on their side" since the elites are white too; but they aren't considered human by the ultra-wealthy. Newscorp is involved with both the MPAA and stirring racial tensions.
Lucky you. I live in a city that, with the entire metro counted, is over a million people. Yet my apartment building has 30+ year old wiring, and AT&T long ago cemented their illegal exclusivity contract by physically going into each cable box and destroying all the cable inside of them. Now the management refuses to pay for anyone to re-wire it all, so we're stuck with ADSL. I've seen a max of 26 down and 180K up. When I work from home, and need to do a voip conference call, we can either have some torrents going OR be streaming a single Netflix; anything more and the voip starts to cut out. Even more frustrating is that just across the street is real fiber...60-100 down and 40+ up. But it's technically in another city...and the "old boy" politics in Tulsa will keep it that way for all eternity.
This is along the lines of my idea for modular space exploration probes...I put a brief abstract here on my site. The basic idea is a space-based 3-d printer that also brings along the unprintable probe parts and electronics, and can print out the body of the probes per mission criteria. Also, the electronic packages are in a modular system so we can send out "refuels" of unprintable parts on regular basis so the system can keep on exploring with minimal human interaction for many years.
These aren't just "domain experts", their also highly biased. Many of them flat-out lie and manipulate real science and statistics to "inform" the politicians. If these biases were biased towards humanity that would be one thing, but lobbyists are often promoting whatever their corporate masters are directing them to.
I'm partially pro-gun and completely pro-gay. This defaulted two party system has been completely corrupted and is fundamentally broken. The original framework doesn't require just two parties, but somehow this is the outcome. I suspect this is because the representation system is a "republic" so has limited participation. The "rich elites" where able to game this to just two real "participants", the Republicans and the Democrats. These elites where once actual humans, but are now corporations who's only goal is quarterly profit and the humans are mere puppets. The corporation will do things no one actual human would normally do. Each puppet applies their full creativity to profit with no capability to see a bigger (or moral) picture of eventual outcomes beyond the next quarterly results. If any one person poisoned a river they would be put away, but a corp can do it with nothing but a fine...so the situation is never morally corrected since the fines rarely come close to the amounts of profit.
The US Federal Government should be able to revoke their corporate charter. Throw the DA and crew into a super-max prison. Forced divestiture of the RIAA's clients and assets.
The MPAA seems so blindingly and stupidly evil they might just go ahead and run this campaign anyway, just change it up a bit. Or just claim Google is making all of this up, and sue them to suppress these emails as potentially fabricated.
I'm an American, and I would happily pay for a subscription service to the various BBC channels. As it sits now, the only was people like myself have access to this content is via torrents / pirate streams. The BBC shows are the only content that even registers on my conscious, and "BBC America" just doesn't cut it. I too wouldn't ever want the programming to change from it's Britishness...in fact, that's one of the major reasons I enjoy it is to broaden my cultural knowledge. The amount of income from the potential subscriptions is probably in the millions, and that's just in the USA.
I'm already enjoying much of the content, if I could pay for it I would. The same goes for CBC in Canada, CH4, Space, etc.
Almost all the posters around our building are people in three piece suits. Some people wear track suit pants to work. However, we're not R&D, and no customers ever come to our site. Well, our "customers" are big airlines, and the building itself is on airport property, so those "customers" are always close by. But you need multiple badges and PIN codes to actually get into the Enterprise Command Center. It's also always super cold in there, so no one wears shorts.
But what no one here notices is that this is all about the coming sell-off of HPE. They poured millions into our building, and we never have customers come in there. Enforcing this dress code is another sign. The fact that Whitman will get $91 million if we're acquired is a HUGE RED FLAG. However, this might not be a bad thing if it's not IBM or some other "we outsource everyone" company. We're homing like EMC, maybe even SABRE.
I work for HP E, in the old SABRE building that they just spent millions on re-doing. It's a constant 68 in there, many people have to wear hoodies, wrap themselves in blankets, etc.

that's why all my bombs have a suicide circuit that goes off if it looses signal! And a motion detector so nothing can get within 10-15 feet of it.

And we're in a cyberwar with China, it's just that the American government hasn't realized it yet.
Once / if they manage to strong-arm Google, the other engines will be next. They are all subject to these laws, per CLIN.
they did for .fr, a year ago. CLIN is demanding removal from all directories, planet-wide. Go read Google's reply.

my firewall can sync to NTP, and then the DC syncs to the firewall.

install peer guardian and flashblock, then use primewire.ag for all that. Most TV shows are up within an hour of their initial broadcast.
