That's silly.. you are paying for something with 4G, burst ability. You can keep your poky 3G but even with the same data cap I'll take the 4G upgrade. I want to be able to download a e-book faster or buy plane tickets a few seconds quicker. My time is important; I might not be able to download anymore data but everything I do will take less time. That movie I'm downloading will be done somewhat sooner and that MP3 or youtube video will take less time to buffer... who doesn't want that?
Um No. You just hire an independent consultant for a couple grand and ask them to have a look over what i365 has set up and make a recommendation. It's common practice.

Shaw is already offering gigabit FTTH Internet in Calgary and Vancouver (http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Internet/The+Fasternet/).
They call it the Fasternet and it's free for 6 months. I already have 100mbps from shaw in Victoria and can't wait for gigabit. Google doesn't seem very cutting edge to me.
You are correct about credit scores. If you have money and don't use credit you don't have a credit rating. But guess what? it doesn't really matter. If you need to finance something simply prepare something called a net worth statement where you list all of your assets. Then go to the bank and they will happy give you loan. Credit ratings are for people with little or no net worth.
It makes sense. How else do you, as a bank, tell two people both living pay check to pay check apart? One could have a much higher chance of repaying the loan. However, the guy with a high net worth with no credit can be judged to have a high repayment chance by virtue of the fact that he is loaded.
Interesting because there are basically 204 plus some odd working days in year. Less for the CEO because I'm sure he gets more vacation that you do to. So that means he makes just about your annual salary in per day.
If it makes you feel any better he is probably in a higher overall tax bracket than you...
Same here 15 to 20 years no viruses on windows Linux and mac. I run a software company with 15 machines and nobody runs a virus scanner and nobody has been infected in at least 10 years.
The last virus I got was from a floppy disk and it was the biggest pain ever. If I remember correctly it infected the master boot record and every executable on every floppy inserted into the computer. Of course almost all your programs and most files were stored on floppies, hundreds of them, and they all needed to be scanned. And every other computer need to scanned to. There was no such thing as a resident virus scanner nor was there spare computing resources for such. At best you could have your computer scan itself on each reboot and wait 10 minutes. I continually thought the computer was clean only have some infected floppy from somewhere reinfect it. By the time I noticed that I was reinfected it had already spread to a dozen other floppies and two other computers which each had a dozen floppies inserted and the whole process would start again.
By comparison it's super easy to keep a machine virus free today.
The easy way to debug something like this is as follows:
Make the edit you want to the file... then start and stop suspect services until you figure out what is overwriting the file (or use auditing to see what is making changes to a file). When you have figured that out it's easy... disable the package, read the man page or google for help.
In this case you probably need to add something like:
supersede search foo.bar;
to dhclient.conf
For the record out of sheer curiosity I just google "something is overwriting resolv.conf help" and the answer was in the first few results...
I live in Canada and my property taxes are lower ($300/month on million dollar or so home) . However, I wager that *all* my other taxes are much higher. Sales tax (12%), gasoline tax (who knows but gas is at $4.23 a US gallon in USD), of course income tax. We also pay extra for things like sewer connection and usage. I am currently doing a renovation and there are huge fees that must be paid to the municipality for the privileged of being able to build. Even larger fees if you need to connect or reconnect to any municipal services.
Anyhow, my point is that looking only at property taxes is comparing apples and oranges. It's the overall tax burden that is important.
Well we do the same thing as facebook but on a much smaller scale... Our "commodity hardware" (mostly supermicro motherboards with generic cases, memory etc) has pretty much the same uptime and performance as vendor servers. For example we have a Quad CPU database server that has been up for 3 years. If I remember correctly it cost about 1/2 as much as a server with equivalent specs from a vendor.
The system basically works like this. Buy 5 or so (or 500 if you are facebook) servers at once with identical specs and hardware. If a server fails (not very often) there are basically 4 common reasons:
1) Power supply or fan failure -- very easy to identify.
Solution: Leave server down until maintenance day (or whenever you have a chance) swap for a new power supply (total time 15min [less time that calling the vendor tech support]).
2) Hard drive failure -- usually easy to identify
Solution: Leave server down until maintenance day (or whenever you have a chance) swap for a new hard drive (total time 15min [less time that calling the vendor tech support]). When the server reboots it will automatically be setup by various autoconfig methods (bootP whatever). I suspect that facebook doesn't even have HDs in most servers.
3) Ram Failure -- can be hard to indentify
Solution: Leave server down until maintenance day (or whenever you have a chance) swap for new ram (total time 15min [less time that calling the vendor tech support]).
3) Motherboard Failure (almost never happens) -- can be hard to indentify
Solution: Replace entire server -- keep old server for spare parts (ram, power supply whatever)
I don't really see what a vendor adds besides inefficiency. If you have to call a telephone agent who then has to call a tech guy from the vendor who then has to drive across town at a moments notice to spend 10 minutes swapping out your ram it's going to cost you. At a place like facebook why not just hire your own guy?
That's true for almost all evidence... Nobody would be clever enough to plant DNA evidence? or hair strands. So I guess we should just do away with all evidence then...
If you are relying on advertising to learn how good a movie is you are an idiot. Any sane rational person becomes aware of the movie via advertising and if interested checks what the critics or IMDB say. You know that whole industry whose entire business model is giving you an honest review of a movie?
That depends on your definition of the Internet. If you definition includes a "disparate collection of networks that neutrally forward traffic with out prioritization" then arguably any ISP in violation is no longer a part of the internet and net neutrality doesn't apply.
You shouldn't feel too bad. Your friend's Dad was an adult and still didn't know any better. And from a child's point of view it would make sense to assume that an adult wouldn't give up something of significant value.
The parent is wrong when he says "You buy the company, you buy the liabilities."
It makes no sense to hold a buyer legally responsible for fraud committed before he owned the company. Liabilities that were illegally and purposefully hidden from him at the time of purchase.
If I sell you a car that was previously used to conduct murder are you responsible for the murder?
That is complete bullshit... The current owners of the company are victims of fraud. Why would the victim of a crime be liable?
You and everyone who modded you up are retarded. When Bernie Maddoff's 50 billion dollar ponize scheme was uncovered the current investors were considered victims. The SEC didn't issue massive fines and take what little they had left. Instead the world felt sorry for them and the DOJ is working to try to get some of their money back. The DOJ is tracking down everyone who made a profit, suing them and giving the proceeds to those victims (read investors).
The didn't say FUCK YOU you buy the company you buy the liabilities.
The correct course of action is to toss the fraudsters in the clink and reclaim the monies from those who profited. And if you don't have enough evidence to be successfully then too bad. Just like when a robbery goes unsolved or a murderer goes free because there isn't enough evidence. Nobody likes the result and you will probably write a childish rambling post whining about it but that's the way the justice system works.

Let be honest here... The lack of a three finger swipe and other problems are almost certainly a result of patent issues..

It is low end relatively speaking. And that's all that matters for this test. One lower performing setup compared to another higher performing setup.

Cash for clunkers was done to save the auto industry and the many thousands of jobs that go with it. It worked too; look at Ford and GM today.
