I was in your position some years ago. I also know that our main operator wasted millions in Incognito software just to throw it away, and ended up paying millions to Microsoft. Obvious not the average "small ISP", but I hope you get across my point. Small/medium ISPs end up writing their own custom software, because there is not a specialized/vertical package that works as it should. I ended up doing that too, and connecting my software to a in-house developed ERP package.

They dont are exactly locking it in a drawer, are they? They are making ISPs working for free for them, to try to hide something that is already in tech terms in the public domain.
dont ever pay them, otherwise you are creating a market. Like in many country idiots create a market for hobos "looking" for your car.Anyway, why not putting them in the cloud, Amazon services? I bet it would be cheaper than paying Rackspace and their "security" services.
Why not ordering CostCo what their costs are? Hell, why not ordering the CEOs disclosing how much they pay for their meals, trips, drinks and hookers?
Now people dont like a capitalist regimen, odd. This measure is just probably to appease people, I very much doubt they wont cook up the numbers.
They dont need to extrapolate squat. They professional bullshiters, they have long been presenting the present as the future. I still wonder why people quote tem.
I subscribed a 3G device with a 1GB pen, and every single time, it only lasted for two weeks. With *very* modest use. I have seen the foruns of the 4G product, and almost everyone complaints it wont go past 5 or 10 days. Specially as it is marketed as unlimited, when it only allows 15GB, allows 40Mbps in optimal conditions, and as a connection for a full household.
What a joke. Here in Portugal, I have not bought a "4G" iPad, because the "unlimited service", with a hidden clausule of a "fair use" of 15GB only allows you to work for 1 week or at most two until it gets capped to 128kbps. With 12Mbps, Id guess that in a weeks time with fairly modest use you will exceed the cap.
The comment is spot on! If someone is not capable at least of scripting their problems, then they are not really sysadmin managers. And to call sysadmin managers to people that administer window boxes like PCs, and do it all by hand is idiotic.
There is an huge market overseas for your stolen smartphones...I was an expat in Africa, and it was quite frequent to come by used smartphones sold as "new" at legit stores, but with the logos of foreign operators. Vodafone, orange... Also, there were an *huge* undercover market of Apple devices. I once almost bought a "legit" Macbook Pro at a very good discount, until I notice while test driving it the previous owner left all the files there, some south african engineer actually. I told the guys it had some minor defect and left it at that.
So, let me get this straight...they work for free for the music and film labels, and scam, threaten and extort money from the very own people that supports their business model and pays their salaries...sweet.
The reality is that MS and Apple know fairly well that in the long run is counter-intuitive to post small 0-day patches. They know fairly well they are easy to reverse engineer and thus, more people will be aware of the flaw and will develop more exploits.
What I do know is that between the political environment, the sheer dumbification of americans and religious bigotry, I will choose other destinations for my holidays or visits.

After being bought by a firm that is in bed with the US government and NSA...
Back here we are also handling the file servers, users and groups in a +10 thousand user infra-strutucture, and things work pretty well.

seems like an undergoing campaign for further waste of public money

Here is a precedent for censorship...boycott the fuckers, no more DVDs, CDs and cinema for me.

Now they are paying the price. The market only cares about iPhone and Android...who can't see that?

Would love to run a honeypot; already visited their own website and didnt find any link for downloading one though.
Yes, because democracy is diplomacy sure is that in fact, only the US can have atomic energy...hmmm, am I missing something here?
Are they trying to imitate Apple like with the Apple TV, the iPad, iPhone and the MacBookPro? Pity windows stinks...
Ho, flame is not enough, they need budget for the next virus...
Where are the news? Next thing, a couple of college interns will discover there are honeypots and *gasp* honeynets too.
I actually dont think this competition is any substitute any day for regression testing....
