Rosy crashes and reloads when you run it out of memory. What I really want in an Android phone isn't quad core it's 2GB of memory.
Back on topic this kind of sucks since WM6.5 is the only platform that you can completely manage using ActiveSync so I'm sure there are some organizations still using it.
It's not Microsoft's fault. The OS is fine (Sync never had anywhere near the problems that Touch has had). The problem is the Flash based UI designed by outsourcing firm BSQUARE that was the major problem for Touch.
They might not have enough space for 3x the install (previous working copy, current copy, downloaded copy) and streaming a firmware update over wifi is just asking for trouble.
What kind of broken VM platform are you running where VM's are tied to an individual host? Every major player now supports live migration of VM's between hosts, in fact the only hypervisor I'm aware of that doesn't is Virtualbox which isn't exactly something I'd use on a server.
As far as server names I'm still using [sitecode][application][function][d|t|p|dr][instance #] where application is the LOB app name, function is something like app, db, web, etc and d|t|p|dr are which environment (dev, test, prod, dr). The only time this has ever been a problem was some ghetto app that had a hard coded 8 character hostname limit.
Look, the business didn't even blink at the cost of the ipads or the data plans. They LIKE the ipad. We've developed a mobile paperless presentation system using off the shelf components that are only available for the ipad (for now, the developer is talking about an Android build but isn't sure the work will be justified since most of the companies looking in this space jumped on ipads just like we did) that has saved us a ton of money on printed marketing materials and which gives us access to up to the minute information. I'm not saying it would be impossible to do a similar thing with netbooks but since the ipad is easy enough for a C level person to use and light enough for them to carry that's what got the dollars.
Available apps, 3G connection, touch interface, weight. Also you don't have to use the keyboard, it's just there in case you happen to have a need to enter a large amount of text. They're probably not used very often but since they cost about the same as a month of data service it was a very small part of the TCO calculation and potentially added a large amount of value.
Not at all, copyright law has always been very nuanced. In music and photography there are literally dozens of different classes of rights to a work and they can all be sold separately. As an example just because you bought a DVD doesn't mean you have the right to display that work in public, if you want to put on a public performance of the work (say for a charity fundraiser) you need to secure a license from whomever owns those rights. Post DMCA you own the rights to a physical copy of the work and that is that. Congress has the power to determine copyright law and the courts only have the ability to interpret that law and rule on the constitutionality of the law. I don't think anyone believes that Congress did not have the right to write the DMCA, and given the fact that the courts have gone sofar as to tell Congress that they can make the term of copyright essentially forever minus a day despite the constitution being very clear that the term should be limited so that the greater good can enjoy the work after a time I very much doubt they will be ruling that you have an absolute right to do whatever you want with your copy of the material.
Huh? A dual port 10GbE card would only need to use two PCIe 3.0 lanes. Since there are 80 lanes available to these systems I don't think two for networking is a huge sacrifice.
Not in this case. Thanks to the DMCA you own a piece of shiny plastic, you have no right to defeat the copy protection mechanism (CSS) in order to access the VOB files and place shift the content from the shiny plastic to your player of choice. Personally I don't care what the law says and will not pay again to access the exact same content but the law is the law. Btw courts have so far upheld this interpretation multiple times whenever a home theater company has brought a product to market that allows the customer to import their DVD collection.
Yep, I know from Dell's announcement that they have pluggable modules that don't take up any PCIe lanes that can support either 4x GbE or 2x 10GbE or 2x 10Gb FCoE CNA's.
Thanks! A 6% improvement in single threaded from the x5670 to the E5-2660 is good news. It's not a matter of the money for the E5-2690 it's not wanting to grow my power per rack by ~20%.
We run a large number of XenApp servers as VM's and while total system throughput is important so is single threaded performance. Right now we use x5670's with 2.93 GHz clock speeds and a 95W TDP. I'm wondering if the E5-2660 would be as powerful for single threaded workloads which would get us 33% more total throughput for the same power budget but I'm not sure that a 2.2GHz base clock with a 500MHz turbo boost using the SB core is going to be as fast as a 2.93GHz Westmere core.
BS, bulk transport is the cheapest part of any internet connection and prices per GB are falling about 10x faster in that segment than they are in last mile. Plus AT&T is a Tier1 so they aren't paying anyone for peering agreements.
No, Comcast throttles if and only if the local CMTS is swamped and it throttles top users first. This is by FAR the most fair system. In fact it's what the wireless providers should be doing for all users as its the logical way to manage the network to insure network quality but it doesn't allow them to as effectively fleece their customers so it's not the direction they went.
Oil is fungible, to the point where Mexico is sending crude to US refineries to be cracked using natural gas and then the finished petroleum products are being shipped back to Mexico.
So not only are induction units more expensive to buy than equivalent gas units, and more expensive to operate (electricity around here is ~3x more expensive per BTU than natural gas and it's expected to go to ~4x soon and stay there based on the rate of discovery and production) but I also have to replace my pots and pans that are probably worth more than the stove? Yeah, big selling points for a technology that is at best slightly better.
Wait, so Azure isn't down just the admin functionality is? Who gives a crap. Man, I can't spin up a new VM for 8 hours, boo hoo. This isn't an admin nightmare, the VM's being down for 8 hours would absolutely be a nightmare but the only admins this is a nightmare for are the poor guys working for MS trying to fix whatever the code monkeys screwed up =)
There's also the fact that even a single limb would be a major freaking surgery and there are very significant risks to any major surgery so it might give better odds to have one long marathon surgery instead of four major surgeries.

Nope, we know that WP8 will be based on the W8 ARM kernel and will run Metro apps, see here.

Yes but taking advantage of entropic heat to generate coherent light would appear to violate the second law.

Yep, that's what we did for our 150+ business users that we gave iPad's to, cover with integrated Bluetooth keyboard.

Bingo, you've described the real world situation with the cloud exactly.
Since Comcast doesn't charge the heavy users any more than anyone else how does it increase revenue?

New Flyer produces factory fitted CNG buses.
You do have to have the right cookware though...
