Hopefully not Microsoft or Google. I'm sick of people referring to the Internet as "The Cloud!" If we call it The Cloud, the terrorists win! Okay, then don't call it The Cloud for the children's sake!
You come to the party late and everyone has filled up on meat, casseroles, and desserts. If you want them to fill that fraction of space they might have left you better bring them something they can't resist.
Limewire's great if you haven't been infected by a computer virus lately. Why use these things? Get with your friends, combine your music on an external drive that you pass around to other friends. If you're going to pirate, pirate with people you trust.
Well I can't cite the report, though I could go digging for it. But it indeed had to do with burning and therefore, by your own premise, CO2.
It's odd that CO2 has become the new whipping boy when just 5 years or so ago it was methane. I wonder what it will be in the next 5. My guess is whatever is profitable.
"You've never worked in the private sector, have you...I mean that's just hilarious."
I didn't mean to imply that everyone who works a private job gets one. Only those that do generally do so based upon merit. FWIW, yes I have in fact worked in the private sector pretty-much my entire life.
"Look" you apparently don't understand that quoting someone is a legitimate part of discussion. I only gave one quote from him so I was hardly demonstrating that I can't think for myself.
"So, when did your data become important to you? Before or After you lost it..."
Exactly! I've seen so many servers with hardware that dies. You manage to find a way to bring it back online and warn them that they need to replace the old equipment but they often don't. Generally, people think if it's running today it will be running tomorrow.
Understand that progressives have long held our academic system hostage and thus our children. Political Correctness is the first consideration of any policy in the public school system as a result. Most parents, and the general public, look at these policies with disgust. However, most people can't afford to pull their kids out of public school (unfortunately) and the teachers union has a strong lobby that keeps idiots like this dumb broad in her position no matter what she does. So you have a system that protects the teachers and administrators from public outrage. A good example of this is the fight the teachers union is going through now to avoid performance-based merit increases. You know, the kind the rest of us get for our work.
Teachers as a demographic of college graduates represent the lower half of the GPA pool. In short, while there are thankfully notable exceptions, they are generally the dumber of our nation's college students. I give you this article as yet another clear illustration. As Boortz has said, sending your children to a government school in the U.S. is tantamount to child abuse.
I seem to recall a report some time back that noted fires and other burning in developing countries in Africa as a total caused more emissions than any of the developing nations. Of course, we're talking more than CO2. CO2 is an easy target except that it's a necessity in the environment.
I would want to know more about how this data is measured at the site above. The U.S. has consistently lowered emissions for decades. As pilots have noted, flying the skies today over the U.S. as compared to the 1970's is considerably different. Again, the U.S. is where the money is so the data may be steered that way for a reason.
You obviously know very little about the FairTax. First of all those below the poverty line are exempt. Second, there's a pre-bate for food. Open a book.
The total amount collected by the government won't be reduced at all. Everything purchased by corporations, businesses, and yes the rich will be taxed. That's a huge amount of revenue. This idea that the Fair Tax is regressive is simply a fallacy. There's only one reason to be against the Fair Tax: Because you have a vested interested in government revenue and are therefore afraid of what it might do. The Fair Tax puts the power back into the hands of the people and forces the government to live by the same principles of fiscal responsibility we do. If things are tight and the economy is down, no more jacking up the tax rate with the idiotic notion that it will increase revenue.
Except that the largest sources of those burning "stuff" are not who the U.N. and those seeking to profit on climate change are going after, developing nations. Which makes sense on the one hand because they have little money, except for China. China was exempted from the Kyoto Protocols as a "developing country" which not only rendered the Kyoto Protocol a joke (because China has money), it revealed the true nature of the protocol, to fleece the West.
The U.N. is a joke. Not a funny joke, just a joke. Mentioning them as if to lend weight to a discussion is tantamount to suddenly launching into a discussion about alien anal probes.
As with most reports, there's often more to it than is reported and often less. I don't think this gets China "off the hook," though. I'm not a fan of our open relations with China going back years. It's one of the inconsistencies in U.S. foreign policy that irks me. OTOH, I'm not one who thinks "live and let live" extends to governments who have serious human rights concerns. But I digress.
I would be surprised that the government was letting sensitive data from military branches route out unencrypted. Let me quantify. Do I think that it's incompetent enough to let data get rerouted? Yes. But the report cites the major military branches. This makes me wonder if there isn't some propaganda at work. It could have been information but it could have been misinformation. Lay the dollar on the table and you find out how honest your friends are while you're in the bathroom.
Why not require in-car bluetooth or docking? I have no problems driving while on a headset. The people I see driving slow, swerving, etc. invariably have a phone up to their ear.
"We're an IT solutions provider. We help small to midsized companies leverage the same technology that larger companies have today by providing these technologies in a solutions package to scale." "You sell small business servers." "Yes."
Now people are lapping up "cloud."
"We're a Cloud Solutions provider. We enable small to midsized companies to leverage the power of cloud technology by moving data from dated technology into the more vast infrastructure of cloud computing." "You're taking our servers away aren't you." "Yes."
Ran my own mail, file, and web servers for years. Keep in mind, this was some time ago. I used a HW RAID controller and multiple SCSI drives and at one point an external RAID enclosure as well. They all made a lot of noise booting let alone running. One night the power went out for a bit. The room was so quiet. That silence, though, convinced me all that hardware was cool to build but at some point you want to simplify.
First, I have all kinds of convergence on GMail and frankly, don't care for it. In fact I rarely use the web client. I'm a throwback geek, what can I say. I do use the texting feature when I can't text from area with no coverage.
The big problem Facebook has right now is credibility. Given the myriad of accounts that are hijacked daily, the privacy issues, I can think of no other company I want my data to be on less than Facebook. Except maybe Microsoft but I like piling on Microsoft.:)
From what I can tell, it would take years for FB to get spam under control because they don't even have it under control on their site now. One reason I'm using GMail is because no other online email app rejects spam better.
Facebook can't rely on pretty colors and whirly thingies. They need to get their act together before branching out. Yes, Microsoft was able to branch out by spreading mediocrity but the world was a lot less tech savvy then.

Flamebait, of course. Oh wait, that's a pun? :p
Bathe, shave, and get a job. Or, with props to Animal House, "Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, Son."

Heh..they suck.
Marketing killed IT conferences years ago.

And they'll get about as much of a punishment as Charles Rangel.
Like maybe: "The officers involved have received reprimands that will go in their permanent record."
