  1. Re:Not many people want you to support consumer te on Consumer Tech: an IT Nightmare · · Score: 1

    If you own it by simply informing someone of data, you're not handling it right. I've helped lots of people with different tools and made them know beforehand that I am doing this completely off-channel and this is totally unsupported, letting them know it's because I like them and want them to keep doing the work they do that I'm helping with what I can.

    Usually, it's the stuff that they are blind to behind the scenes such as firewalls, server configurations, or just not knowing certain piece of information needed to configure the device like the imap server/etc/etc.
    I personally physically despise people that work in the black-and-white narrow passages method. It sickens me.

    You realize iTunes is only a central location for syncing, right?
    You don't have to buy everything through the iTunes. What you're attempting to say is App Store.. a totally different monster.

    The very definition of "fleeing" means the individual is not in a criminal activity. A criminal running away is a not fleeing, the criminal is obstructing justice.

  13. pestilence on Microsoft 'Hut' Opens Outside Seattle Apple Store · · Score: 2, Funny

    Microsoft can have a store at every corner of every street in the world and I'd still avoid them like the plague.
    I lost respect for them completely in 1997 (cratered by their previous blunders), so it'd be on par with walking into Walmart.
    In fact, both have the same feel.

    And by hundreds of miles behind apple, do you mean in the shiny object hipster yuppie market? Because the majority of the real world seems to show otherwise.

    I consider it very humorous on how when something is not in their realm of refinement/etc then it's suddently "hipster" or "yuppie".
    The majority of the real world (as opposed to the fake world... wtf?) buys the cheapest shit they can get their hands on without regard to any side effects or lifespan concerns. There are a percentage that want something else.

    Which dovetails nicely into our current conversation. Thanks, please continue.

    I've been in that boat, and you have dual T1 running into the site. The CIO wants you to migrate to a self hosted SMTP server.

    What, do you tell him/her that it's not possible because of the provider? You'd be laughed out of a job, quickly. After all, rDNS is about as useful deterent as looking out for thieves by finding those that aren't wearing polo shirts walking into a store.

    I guess a better tangent to this entire conversation would be where can they test, since they are the military and all.

    I realize you pay taxes (as do I), however the military is needing to bulk up on testing for what will inevitably happen in the future. It's the *first* thing I think about if there were another world war... radio, internet, cell, & gps disruption.

    You might want to rethink using the word "better" when analyzing statistics. "better" is a final outcome term from all avenues, not a number of phones in the market description.
