32" tv's just won't fall through the $500 floor, you could easily get a CRT of that size for under half that price and there was significantly more material involved in making the CRT (though admittedly less process).
A defense shield? I'd have no problem with it, though it's a heck of a lot more likely they would build one along their southern border and (unjustly) piss of the Chinese due to where their threats come from. Then again I tend to think a lot more rationally then many of my countrymen so there's always that.
For OLTP I prefer to just pin my main tables in SGA, ram is cheap and getting cheaper all the time. For what we spent on 32GB 2.5 years ago you can get 256GB today, you have to be a VERY big shop for your OLTP tables not to fit in that much ram. If you're using the fusion-io for something like you log partition are you using software mirroring?
Yeah like the Russians are really scared that the handful of interceptors we manage to build and deploy will really take out their 1,000+ ICBM's, get real. If we were putting tens of batteries in every populated state THEN they might start to worry, but a small limited shield is inherently defensive in nature and obviously directed more at a rogue organization or minor power like Pakistan/Iran. They might use the positioning of the launch sites as a political strawman to distract their people from internal problems, but that has been the nature of propaganda since before the printing press.
So what you're saying is Greenspan made the same mistake Marx did and forgot that the one immutable fact when dealing with humans is that they are greedy? Yep, that sounds about right for a theoretical economist =)
Uh, most of those bridges welded by unskilled laborers with way less tech than is available today are still standing, in fact that's kind of the problem! We haven't really replaced those public works project era bridges despite the fact that they were past their expected lifetimes a generation ago.
Huh, going to? They bought the trademark! Actually I'm kind of surprised they didn't buy the catalog and label and make it an iTunes exclusive =) Probably would have only cost them about 10-16x what they paid for the trademark based on valuations from earlier this year when Jackson lost control.
Actually Boeing was researching doing just that, both as a material change and using compressed air to create a virtual shape which could be controlled to allow a change in resistance for takeoff, landing, and cruise.
Sun Gold or Platinum contracts are great, especially if you are a large customer with onsite techs. You pay out or every orifice for them but they are pretty good. Of course I prefer HP 6HR call to repair contracts where they have a binding obligation to have you up and running in 6 hours, not just have a tech onsite in 4 like most support.
I have 110 HP servers in production, I have had ONE motherboard replacement in the last 2.5 years. Your anecdote means nothing, only statistically significant samples do, thanks for playing.
Sorry, but when I went out for training in Eden Prairie both I and the company offering the training referred to it is Minneapolis (even though they have their HQ their). I'm also from a far out suburb of Cleveland (two of three neighbors are farms) but when talking to people not from the area I just say Cleveland.
No, a few low level executives went to a party for INDEPENDENT insurance agents who were the top earners for AIG's most profitable division, but don't let facts get in the way of your rage...
The government isn't bailing out AIG, they are keeping them alive long enough for the business to be sold off in an orderly way and for the web of contracts they hold to be undone. Giving money to CC at this point would be throwing good after bad, they have a poorly run business that deserves to die.
WRONG, 1 in 10 dollars leaves the store through shrinkage, that is a FAR cry from saying 1 in 10 people leaving the store is a thief! Shrinkage comes from many sources but employees are a large one as is quasi-legal abuse of return policies (ie 'renting' a bigscreen for the super bowl). I don't believe any retailer has ever published a study showing a significant reduction in shrinkage due solely to implementing the receipt nazi's. The only place they have a chance of stopping me is Sam's Club when they aren't backed up 10 people deep since I do have a membership to keep.
Uh, the folks over at Hydrogen Audio will be the FIRST to tell you not to buy monster cables (at least most of them will). It's the teenage brat at Tweeter/Worst Buy with the huge commission on the line that will tell you to buy Monster. They might suggest replacing your headphone cable with a slightly thicker one if you have high impedance drivers, but that will be based on science and testing rather than marketing and perceived value.
Uh, PNG DOES look better for certain content, namely screenshots. Due to the way JPEG works it will always blur fonts more than PNG. For pbotographs you will get a better looking shot out of JPEG than PNG for the same files size ~90% of the time, so use the right tool for the job =)
If you're going for a HDD based player then sure Apple Lossless makes sense, but if you want a touch then you'll want the best encoding that sounds good/transparent to you. I wish Apple had made a 160GB HDD based touch, I would have bought it in a heartbeat.
We had about a 15% failure rate in the first MONTH with the Blackberry 8800. Really nice when you've rolled out a couple hundred of them =( At the time it was the latest and greatest so there was no incentive for people to break them for another unit. Since then we have seen a lower failure rate with the replacement units but that first batch really sucked. Of course we never got an admission of high failure rates from AT&T but for some reason they've had no problem replacing them out of warranty for us....

*Note that this trick can have a negative impact on your employment status, results may very, use at your own risk.
Which APN are you using? For most third party apps the best one to use is ISPDA which is the uncompressed gateway.

Opt-out sucks and well run companies rarely resort to using it.

AAKS was a WESTERN DIGITAL product, not a Seagate product, if you can't even get manufacturers right I don't think I'm going to listen to your advice.
OK, so we rivet the new bridges. I still fail to see why we can't do what our great grandparents did with significantly lower levels of technology.

He was talking about the people at corporate HQ which might have been largely IT...

Delta IV Heavy is up to 807 tons gross weight. Normally I wouldn't be so pedantic but it is a difference of over 10%.
