Datacenters accounted for 1.3% of all electricity used worldwide in 2010, I imagine it's higher today, so reducing their power usage by say 40% is a big deal, almost as big as the similar reduction in the 5-6% of total electricity used for residential lighting we got by switching to LED/CFL.
If you're not passing then you should be to the right so the slower traffic argument is wrong. As far as the condition of the roads, that's mostly correct but you don't have to have perfect roads to travel faster than 60, I should know I do at least one 1,000+ mile trip per year and cruise at 85 most of the time outside of cities.
And yet people aren't dying at an alarming rate on the turnpike or any other interstate highway, the roads and cars are built to handle at much higher speeds than are posted in the U.S. Hell, 20 years ago cars sucked compared to today but I was able to drive a fairly normal sedan at 100mph on the autobahn without incident. What we really need to do to improve safety isn't to crack down on speeding, it's crack down on distracted driving, a week doesn't go buy that some idiot on a cellphone or putting on their makeup doesn't come within second of crashing into me (defensive driving and ABS for the win).
HP will extend the warranty on any business class system they sell for a minimum of 5 years beyond the initial 3 year warranty, at the end of 8 years it probably IS more cost effective to replace the system (hell, the HP 3000 series boxes were supported for over a decade after end of sale). For networking I love Cisco chassis based switches, Cat 6500, 4000, and 4500 series switches have all lasted at least a decade.
We reserve the right to monitor our network for the purposes of would fly in most any country. In the EU privacy laws would probably prevent them from storing or distributing the information, but I'd think an automated scan of the linked URL would be fine. If it's not then everyone in the EU can look forward to a LOT more spam and malware since any hosted or cloud scanning technology is out.
That's because the minorities in line with you were probably of similar socioeconomic status to you, plus there's little reason to be in line for a polling place if you can't afford an ID (or to get to the place where they issue a free ID if the state offers them, Ohio does not) as you know going in you won't be able to vote.
Yep, *.facebook.com, *.fbcdn.com and a few others are blocked by adblock on all my computers. Despite having a Google account since they offered them Google apparently doesn't know much about me, when they had the lookup site when they merged with doubleclick their profile had some pretty glaringly wrong entries and some others were off by enough that I have to question their methods since I'm sure I'd given them better information at some point.
Mostly in swing states where the state legislature is controlled by the Republicans because they get the most senate seats due to all the rural counties. These include Colorado, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania (put on hold by a judge for the 2012 election), and Wisconsin (also on hold due to legal challenge).
Huh? XBMC on Android uses the standard NEON interface for video acceleration, if you want to run it under ARM Linux you'll need to configure your kernel to enable NEON support but you should be able to use the same code as the ARM branch.
Bullshit, the test is and always has been what a reasonable person assumes, and a reasonable person assumes their personal communications between themselves and a second party are not being eavesdropped, recorder, or otherwise sifted through by their government without a warrant! If we are to pervert the basic tenants of the constitution and the bill of rights to what it is possible for a modern surveillance state to achieve then we should just scrap this government and start over.
Yep, did a rollout for a large mortgage bank around 2004 timeframe to install a new XP image running Microsoft VirtualPC to virtualize OS/2, the reason was that they had a custom app that was certified in all 50 states to do some calculations, the projected cost to rewrite and recertify it was north of $25M and that didn't include retraining staff. Keeping that old software going was the MUCH cheaper option.
Had a coworker who in the late 90's had to procure a HDD for an original IBM PC XT and a version of Ghost old enough to read it. The reason, there was a custom program on that computer that interfaced with the PDP11 that ran the steel mill where it was installed and the drive had died but he managed to bring it back to life by snap starting it. He was able to make it work but he very loudly told the company management that they had to do something because that was literally the last new drive he could find anywhere in the vast international parts lookup system we had access to.
Which will probably be either when you get in a crash or start the car in your garage given the safety and pollution controls of cars from the early 80's.
I wasn't talking about the Gimp, I was responding to the post about dark table. The GIMP is fine, I even prefer the path definition tool for fonts in the GIMP over the equivalent in the last version of Photoshop I used, the only way to get good pathing in PS at that time was to use another tool in the creative sweet and export it to PS, quite an awkward process.
Yes, because a software package where the entry for Windows builds is to install a linux livecd is something I'm sure will be of the highest quality...
Yes. Or at least you're by far in the minority. The auto manufacturers have seen that gadgets sell new cars and are a way to differentiate themselves from the competition so if you think you'll see less features from here on out you're mistaken. The only refuge will probably be stripped work vehicles (Ford Sprinter vans and the like) or high end road legal race cars.
Uh, an Activesync wipe doesn't just remove email, it wipes the device, same as a factory reset. That means all your apps, their data, any photos, videos, or music you have, etc.
Yes, and VMWare ready for Android devices, and the user profiles from Android 4.2 refined, and the encrypted partition and app space from Good, and a whole host of other existing solutions, but if BYOD is going to become pervasive it's going to need to be built in at the system level and be easy to manage (I have to give RIM credit, balance does a pretty good job of meeting all these needs, it's just a second tier platform at this point).
I see the future of BYOD being running another OS instance for the work apps, or possibly a separate easily switched profile with encrypted storage. One of the biggest hurdles right now with iOS and BYOD is that the end user can easily recover the wiped data from their last icloud backup. There are similar concerns with personal Dropbox accounts, how do you regain control of your corporate data once it's on an account that the user controls? There are solutions to the problem like windows rights management server (DRM for corporate documents) but they don't tend to play well with machines that aren't part of the central infrastructure, and are especially poor at support non-PC platforms.

The patent filing date was in 1992, but it's still predated by the internet.

We buy our systems with 5 years up front and they'll extend them up to 3 years past that.

Not if you agree to it in the TOS.

Ditto in Ohio but it's every 4 years.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 has multi-window support.
