What is everyone addiction to setting the homepage? I can see defaulting to a company intraweb or some portal. But WTF if someone feels they are more productive with some random web app or other data source or even google as their home page why lock them out of it?
I guess some sort of Kiosk, but there are better special built kiosk apps that work better than IE. (though they may use IE to render)
I think you're not taking into account the disconnect that marketing has with the technical groups. Maybe not by design, perhaps even against it, but that's the way the real world is.
I'm sure a dozen people or more will come up with valid counter examples. The above is a general statement and honestly more of a guess, am I wrong?
Would you please provide such a link? One to the actual regulation, not the speculation on the EV1(those are EZ to find)
Perhaps I needed to spend more time on it, but my only hits on Google are other forums, no more reputable than/.
I was hoping to find something on a.gov type site, though it's likely in a legal jargon that is hard to read (and could be the reason Google isn't coming up with a hit on that type of site, since I don't know the legal wording for such a regulation)
Any chance it could have been valid clients, but through NAT looks like one client with an excessive amount of hits/min? Of course a reasonable person should have one NTP client hit the pool, and sync all the rest of the clients to the local. I guess i'd be surprised if it was a poorly coded client, does anyone use anything besides the default NTPD?

But did you outline how much notice time you'll give after announcing the EOL of the app? What I mean is, many software companies don't announce the EOL of a product at initial sale, they might not know. But after some time they put out an announcement that EOL is in 12 months(giving an exact date)
I'm not a laywer, this isn't legal advice. But perhaps documenting a future EOL date, sending that out, maybe giving them enough time to upgrade/migrate, pay you to develope a 2.0, or some other solution.
I'm just guessing you said "for the lifetime of the software." So now make a document saying when that end is. I've dealt with several of those notices, and you just deal with them, upgrade or retire the product. And no, we didn't know about pending EOL's at purchase time.
So the contents of your car are covered by your auto insurance? Many insurance policies only cover the car and equipment installed in the car. So that aftermarket radio is covered as it's installed in the car. But your MP3 player which is only charged via cigarette outlet, is not.
Don't get me wrong, your insurance policy rocks. But not all are as good.
Accept most modern thin client protocols support flash redirect so it's rendered locally. You can play all the flash based web games you want, no problem.
So while there are reasons NOT to use a thin client, flash is not one of them.
That outlines an important question. Is the weak link between the phone and the tower, or between the tower and the internet(provider links or uplink) Though you only ask about the cell to tower link, is that some something you know to be the issue, or a guess?
How many of these 'apps' really need dedicated apps when some good old fashond HTML 5 would work. Wasn't google voice originaly HTML 5 before Apple approved a native app? Didn't it work fairly well?
I guess I'm sick of all these websites that want an app installed, to use the website. Just write the HTML so it detects the device and adjusts the page as needed.
That said. I admit a write once run anywhere, for apps that really do need and app, would be cool. Wait, isn't that Java????
I think you also are getting at, being able to script anything. Which would be very cool in Windows. I know there are some macros and work arounds for GUI interaction, but a clean simple CLI to all applications and all functions would be slick.
I did find some at that price range, non dimmable but ok color. But so far the low cost units like that have a shorter life than old school bulbs, guess that may be my bad luck, but turned me away from them.
tried to get local support for those early fails, local store no help. Ship them back for more than the bulbs cost, no way.
Don't get me wrong, I'll keep trying, I like the tech (duh I read/.) but it's just not there yet.
By the way I think the phase out was done wrong, there are some ok LEDs bulbs out there at ace and hd, that have good color and run about 10$. But they are nite lights. I think the smaller bulbs would be run out first.
To be able to stomach the change all lights need the same color rating, some have none. Actually, change that to don't sell the blue lights outside of the party lights section. No normal bulb should run more than 10$ Dimmable needs to be the norm. And time to swap out old motion sensors that don't work.
To the comment about doing the math for cost savings, your math looks about right, but it's just too much of sticker shock.
My thought is someday well all be using led, but it won't be 2012.
Ps looking at he mods in this sub thread, not being pro cfl/led is worse than being AC at/.
Just try a dimmable cfl, made me want to puke. The tech just isn't there. And if you say sure it is, oh ya the bulbs cost 30$ each, that doesn't work for the 99% (sorry for using the 99% thing)
I've tried CFLs and LEDs, the cheap ones have unacceptable color output. The expensive ounces cost too much. Dimmable motion detection, and outside in winter make good old style bulbs required.
That said, I'm ready to buy better stuff, as soon as it's at mylocal store at a good price. Till then It just won't work.
When I was learning we had a desktop with a removal drive in the front. This allowed ustp to build an OS and have it the same when we returned. A box in the back, locked for only the teacher, allowed other classes to use the PCs each teach had a box of drives per class.
Also, if it applies, a server for every two students. Depending on the lab allowed two students to share the server work and still see it all. The teach should have a server also, so if the lab dosnt have any value on the server side the kids can point at the teach's server.
Also firewall off the lab subnet from the rest of campus. Some student will eventually setup a dhcp server, and for somebody it will be faster than the schools dhcp server.
How exactly was changing their prices outside of their control? Granted they may have needed to in order to stay in businesses, but that is still fully in the companies control.

I guess the survey may be accurate. But I agree, a Professional does not abuse his/her access.
That means don't look, since you will have access to do your job (somebody has to the the admin, and admin by definition has full rights everywhere) Being a professional means you make an effort NOT to read the data when you are troubleshooting an issue on a sensitive document, which happens and is why you have access. I guess the analogy that comes to my mind is a medial doctor, they should be very professional also. I know that IT isn't a life or death as an MD, but the same level of professionalism should be expected. I guess I'm just surprised that so many people in IT are not.
What if you print the image, then take a picture of it? does that Digital-Analog-Digital loop remove any of the watermarks that the software is looking for?

There are still many old interchanges that have entrance/exit on the left side of the road. Until that's changed people will be passing on the right.

And yes, I meant "except", not "accept"
Preview should really be used to avoid.....

I think ABS and airbag aren't in the base OBDII code set. I understand they did that on purpose, but wouldn't call those non-critical.
Very annoying if one of those lights comes on.

I was going to say ./cgrep but your suggestion is better since it won't be confused with "Context Grep" Which would imply it is NOT Context free.
so is the other command ./hdiff ?

Sue the crap out of them.
That is not legal, nor acceptable. Age should not impact performance in a field like it. Nor hiring.
