Actually, when I logged on last night, I had a checkbox to have my uploaded files modified or not.... Granted it was all or none but still, an option is an option.
I've found the Tivo Slide works pretty well for controlling it since it supports Bluetooth. The only downside is to get it to work well in Windows, you really need to buy Intelliremote by Melloware to map the keys to functions.
Backups with a powershell restore script can be pretty easy to use once you get them setup. As always, if you go the "backup" method, make sure you test your backups sometimes and your full restore procedure to make sure it works. It's not fun to find a problem with them when it really matters.
Replication is a pain to deal with. You could just use a failover cluster.
Maybe I'm oversimplifying this but since Apples now use "PC" hardware (ie. x86 architecture) it seems to reason that a boot sector virus could possibly effect any type of system or does that not count as a "PC" virus?
With Oracle, I generally assume "ease of use" is a 0.... Depending, it can be difficult to get Oracle ODBC drivers installed, much less use anything else they make.
SlashCloud.... This site used to be interesting but since it only seems interested in promoting it's new mostly worthless articles written for people who don't have much of a technical background and that don't really answer any questions but sure do toss a lot of buzzwords around. I think I'm off to somewhere else.
Generally speaking, I agree with you. On the other hand, I know some people (my wife) who can't navigate anywhere and are constantly turned around. The reality is some people have a good sense of direction and can memorize a map with ease, and some people can't.
I'd rather have my wife using a GPS then call me frustrated while trying to describe where she is while actually having no idea and just becoming more and more angry.
Everybody complains about region restrictions. I don't like region restrictions but the reality is different regions have different laws and some movies aren't allowed there. I think region restrictions are primarily about making sure legal behinds are covered.
On my part this is just wild speculation but, since Windows 8 metro apps look similar to wp apps, and windows 8 metro apps can be written with Javascript/HTML/CSS, I'm expecting at some point that MS is going to announce if you write an app for windows 8 metro, it can also be compiled for windows phone at which point a lot of web developers that don't care to learn Java or objective C are going to jump on board.
It's funny, one of the first things you learn in a statistics class is that statistics are very dependent on how they're collected, determined, and described. You can make statistics to mean a lot of different things. I'm not judging the content of your link (I didn't read it), but saying that there is a statistic so it must describe the truth without any other information is just dumb.
That's not always true. Where I work the tech staff actually don't care much for agile because we develop a data product, not as much software (we sell sets of data). However, the management decided that agile was great and so guess who got trained how to do agile?
If you guessed the managers, that's right. Now all the managers are pushing scrums and agile. The rest of us are trying to figure out how to even apply that to database design
Seconded, by an Indianapolis resident that doesn't work downtown.... Oh, and while your at it, take Lucas Oil Stadium too. I'm tired of helping pay for it with extra taxes.
If you've ever walked around Indy in the winter, you know some weird stuff is up with the manholes anyways. There are always huge piles of steam pouring out random locations around downtown.
Hey, here's the "Things have gotten more expensive" crap. I guess it depends on your idea of crap. I'm going back to college to finish getting my degree at a local public university. I had one class that required 3 books and cost about $250. One band-spanking-new "lab" book, and 2 used textbooks. There is some serious bullshit going on with books, and it HAS gotten worse.
When I was at Purdue in '99, used books cost between $60 - $90 depending and new books were maybe $110. Now the used books cost $110 and are only in use 1 year so you can't even sell the stupid things back. It's a racket.
Imagine I bought a timeshare for 2 weeks a year and noticed that nobody was using the week after mine and I started planning 3 weeks stays. A few years down the road, somebody else shows up and wants to stay during that third week. What right would I have to be pissed?
Personally, I'm more concerned to find out that it's apparently really easy to knock out military GPS.... It seems like somebody would want to fix that rather than complain about spectrum usage. Just my 2 cents.
I think it's great that people have been this creative with Minecraft, and I think it's cool that Minecraft is capable of doing it. On the other hand I question the usefulness of doing bigger and bigger things like this. Of course, this is coming from an adult with a job and a half who is also married and taking classes so I might be a little more judicious with my time.
I'm with you, I have to drive through them every day on my way to work and in Carmel they are pretty horrible, mainly due to the huge amount of traffic.
I regularly get stuck moving up 1 car at a time for about 10 minutes on my way in. What a fun time.
I'm sure everyone from Carmel thinks they're great because when they're going south into Indianapolis they are always to the left of everyone and can go right in, and the reverse is true when they're going back north at the end of the day. For everyone else trying to go into or cross Carmel in the morning it's pretty miserable.
Also, I've seen people go the wrong way around them (usually older people) and everyone in Carmel is too busy being the most important thing on the road to be courteous so you have to really gas it to get into the traffic flow. I'm sure that's great for saving gas and emissions.
I hate them.
I drive through Carmel every day to work. In the article it talks about how much gas is saved due to engines not idling at stoplights. I'm sure that's helpful at 3am but in normal driving around there. During regular traffic hours I would say I spend more time sitting waiting to go around a roundabout.
If you're trying to get out of Carmel into Indy, I'm sure they're lovely because you're always to the left of where traffic flows so everyone in Carmel thinks they're great because they get right around them but to everyone going into Carmel or trying to cross it, they're a pretty miserable experience.
Also, as several other users have pointed out, they're not that safe. Carmel is a city full of people who make the most money in the state and many of the people there think that their car and drive is more important than anyone else's so you get a lot of boneheaded maneuvers in that area.
Finally, I can speak from experience that:
1) The so-called great directions on the ground are almost impossible to see in the rain
2) A lot of people don't understand how the 2 lane ones work and there are almost wrecks every day
3) Most of the ones in Carmel are pretty small and so you have to gun the engine to get out into the traffic flow, I'm sure that's great on gas mileage
4) A lot of people flat out don't understand them as I verified the other day when an older couple went the wrong direction around one stopping up all traffic and almost causing a wreck
I don't know what the hell they smoke over there, but the roundabouts aren't that great. My guess is that in reality Carmel is trying to be "trendy" and European so they can show how much cooler they are than the rest of Indianapolis but I don't know of anyone that really cares for them.

SlashBI and SlashCloud? No thanks.

I could be wrong (I wasn't ever a huge fan of studying physics) but from my basic engineering physics class, wouldn't a Faraday cage block this?

It's a giant ugly-ass box right in the middle of downtown Indianapolis surrounded by a lot of one way streets with no great parking.
Seconded, by an Indianapolis resident that doesn't work downtown.... Oh, and while your at it, take Lucas Oil Stadium too. I'm tired of helping pay for it with extra taxes.

I got that one right too, although I did it more by process of elimination. At the time I was watching ST:TNG I didn't know who Kelesey Grammer was.

You don't really think that a "unit of measurement" problem "lost" a Mars rover do you?? Neither do the little orange men on mars.
