Can't understand, or can't understand how so many people can be so gullible when they hear well funded propaganda. Put me in the second category. I'll worry about my vast wealth being taxed when I have a vast wealth to worry about.
So, tell me again what shipping companies do with their tax dollars
Every company has to get their product to an endpoint, the shipping company charges for that. If you business has 1K endpoints versus my 1 endpoint, you have a higher shipping cost, which you probably pass on to the customer.
Now, let's see how many online retailers offer free shipping, it's a staple offer. You don't always get it, but you often get it. Seems like consumer demand is preventing them from passing that cost, although it is somewhere in the balance sheets. They either make a little less, or charge a little more somewhere else. Same with taxes. Some are passed on, some are a cost of doing business.
My office just got an HP color printer - fax- scanner. We do one touch scanning all the time. I usually find it easier to just scan and email it to myself, then forward that appropriately. It cuts down on address book entries.
This isn't the 50's. The marketing Apple does acts mostly as background noise and subconsciously influences you to, for example, defend and recommend them on an online forum where your ranked solely on what you say. It also influences you to buy their products yourself.
About 20 years ago, the Republican party was co-opted by the [PHB / HR monkey / Sales asshat / Marketing drone] type. They have convinced many simple people that the sky is green. Nobody likes to be wrong, so these people cannot be convinced they were ever incorrect and the sky is really blue.
You can't live it up in London or New York, but I guarantee I could do some damn fine living that if it was coming in steady with no demands on my time. There are plenty of places you could retire to with a maid and a butler on $65k a year.
Just like Delaware and North Dakota ruined any attempts by states to regulate lending. Some small state would take a dump at the dinner table. "No up front cleanup costs here! We are creating jobs for Americans!"
Then their mess would flow down the river to every other state.
You get 1% back, meanwhile you are contributing to a 3% (minimum) inflation of cost. Every business must charge more to process credit cards.
There is growing back lash against this, look at the recent debit card legislation. people prefer fees to be upfront so they can compare, not hidden as intra-company pseudo tax.
both chrome and firefox manage to install just fine without admin rights. They go into the user's application settings. I couldn't figure out how firefox was ending up on my citrix servers.
Your scenario would not happen in any disk based backup I configured. You should have at least 3 to 4 copies of your data:
1. live data
2. online backup
3. offline backup 1
4. offline backup 2
Due to rotation, you need two sets of offline disk. All my disks use rsync with hard links. This has several benefits. First of all it saves space, so if I am backup up 1 TB, I only need about 1.5TB to maintain 30 backups. Second, Each of those backups is a full backup, there is no load the full backup, then run 3 days of incrementals. Each backup is "full", however it only takes up the space necessary for any file changes from the last backup (try doing that with tape). My online backup will generally maintain a 30 day history. My Offline backups will probably contain a weekly, monthly, and annual. Since I am reusing space, I can probably go back 5 years without storing 5 times my online data.
The redundancy is unit based, not component based. This makes alot of sense, it's what google does. You don't have to go for expensive proprietary parts, you just buy two commodity parts (or more).
Nobody is disputing tape has a place, however, I wouldn't touch it or recommend it for most people for the reasons I outlined above. Even if I was archiving to tape, I would stage to HD.
Obviously you know how to use tape, I am a little rusty. However you must not have worked on any non-enterprise equipment in a long time. I do use off the shelf hard drives, I don't use RAID. RAID is stupid and useless for a backup system until you get into the hundreds of TB realm.

Let's structure taxes to incentivise the wealthy to leave as much money as possible rolling around in investment vehicles. That's certainly never caused problems before.

Anecdotally, I've talked to several people who have mac-regret after switching. However, try returning a mac after you have used it for a month...

Because unless the Danes ONLY do business with the government
It looks like they are single payer.
Dusty factories should go thin client, I like Igel.
So let me see if I get this straight:
anarchy = no rulers
libertarian = no rules
Wow, someone responding like a real person in an online dialogue? Who says we aren't still evolving.
I just had dinner with an economist at Fannie Mae last week.
You mispelled conservative...
You are falling victim to the wedge, fight it, clear your mind!
my kingdom for a mod point...
Is that you Rush?

you could use openfiler, but you would want to swap some of your disk space for network controllers.
