Not to be a total ass, but a map doesn't actually show you where you are. You have to determine your own location on the map.
I agree that a map won't fail in the same ways a GPS unit will fail, but your argument isn't really a fair argument. An outdoor GPS works in the rain, a map gets wet and turns to mush. A GPS takes much less room to store more map data. A GPS won't have small tears at the edges and folds.
Each method for location has its' own strengths and weaknesses. Use the correct tool for the job.
I literally just opened the box of my first Arduino board about 15 minutes ago. I installed the IDE, plugged it into my computer, loaded the drivers, and sent a few sample programs to the tiny board with -zero- problems.
With an out-of-the-box experience like that, it's no wonder the darn thing is so popular.
I'm in a small (9 site) business that uses Cisco gear for all the interconnect. Cisco's have some glorious uptime, but little me has found 3 different bugs in IOS simply dealing with the day to day activities of our shop. Access lists that won't apply to a policy (standard ACL only, the extended ACL applied just fine), spurious items in the running config that change throughout the day by themselves, SIP session handling causing the call to be dropped *before it was answered*...
Yes, Cisco's have great uptime, and yes, we'll stick with them, but not because they're perfect - we stick with Cisco because of TAC. When the shit hits the fan, TAC has your back. I've never had a better experience with a technical support team than I've had with TAC. Sure it might take some time to get through to second level or even third level, but those guys know their stuff and will do what it takes to get things functional. I literally have a private IOS build sitting on my core router right now ready to go live this weekend to fix a bug.
I've been through 9.10, 10.4, and 10.10 on a ThinkPad X200 with Chromium 6.x and just updated to Chrome 7 (not Chromium) today and everything is working perfectly. Maybe it's your DPI settings on your monitor? My ThinkPad has a fixed LCD resolution and DPI...
That used to be true on the older 1900 gear, but all the new 2960's have it. Even the 3500's had it in the later CatOS stack. It doesn't interfere with relaying as long as you're trusting the correct port upstream. You can even configure a router to relay DHCP requests to remote DHCP servers and PXE servers at the same time for remote-boot services without onsite servers.
In any case, many of the network-based threats that are out have mitigation procedures available, as long as someone's willing to spend the time/effort/energy/money to implement them. It all winds up being a balance between reliability and cost, as usual.
Cisco switches have a wonderful feature called dhcp snooping.
ip dhcp snooping Followed by ip dhcp snooping trust on your port that supplies DHCP to the network. This ensures that only the trusted port can hand out dhcp addresses, and as a bonus, the switch tells you which MAC has which IP. show ip dhcp snooping binding

That's not the point. Yes, DRM can be bypassed. But it's a pain in the ass. If I buy a book that has a lock on it, and I can only open the lock while in an Amazon store, then breaking the lock on the book is still damaging the item I've paid for. Sell me a book without the lock.
Oracle database is not Java based, but does require Java as a key component of the system. Pretty much all of the admin tools are written in Java, but the core database is C++.
Berkeley DB is written in C and has API's available for C, C++, Java, and others.
There is also the Berkeley DB Java Edition which is pure Java.
I started using SimulScribe (now PhoneTag) a few years ago. I get voicemail delivered to my email on my BB, along with a pretty good representation of what was said in the voicemail as text. The best feature is that any numbers rattled off by the caller are recognized as dialable digits by the phone, and I can just click to call.
The free PDF Viewer from Tracker Software is a wonderfully fast PDF reader, and comes with annotation capability right out of the box. They are very developer friendly, and their PDF XChange printer drivers produce PDF's that are tighter and better optimized than Adobe themselves. Great company to work with, and a great free PDF viewer.
The integrated SSD probably has way more to do with being used as L2ARC cache in ZFS than as the primary storage for the box. ZFS is a bit sluggish without any cache (every sync burns a minimum of 5 writes to disk at different places), but the L2ARC feature introduced in the latest builds of Solaris (and much earlier in OpenSolaris) gives ZFS a healthy performance boost. Sun is already selling SSD drives in their 7000 series storage appliances as L2ARC cache. It's turned on by default.
And for those of you who think they can buy white-box servers cheaper, you're right. Sun's hardware is more expensive. However Sun's servers come with integrated ILOM in all models, even the really cheap ones. ILOM in servers is an absolute MUST for any server not deployed within 1 or 2 floors of your desk, and adding an ILOM/DRAC/ILO/whatever card to a stock server jumps the price of the server at least $250-300, with some cards costing over $700. Having an in-the-box 100% supported ILOM is well worth the typical $200 price difference between Sun and other vendors.

Looks like you may have changed the stereo out before disconnecting power which is a Bad Idea (TM) when installing new car stereos. Agreed that it's stupid to require a dealer visit to reset a light, though.
Sounds more like a hooker that's double-booked to me.
