Why would someone let your employer monitor YOUR iphone?
The employer may require it as a condition of letting you attach your device to their network. You don't have to let them monitor your phone but they don't have to let you access their network with it either.
Yup. Bring Your Own Device is just corporate new-speak for "externalizing equipment costs to our employees".
Nonsense, BYOD was brought about by employees not their employers. People wanted to bring the latest gadgets they had initially bought for personal use into the work environment because they preferred them over the often comparatively ancient equipment which had been supplied to them by their employer.
Approximately 1000 horses a years a euthanized due injuries sustained from this "sport". If people died at a similar rate playing soccer for example, the sport would be banned.
I think it's more because email use in general is on the decline. Facebook and other social media sites are the reason as people keep in touch with that instead of emailing. Couple that with the already entrenched services like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail etc and it's little wonder there was little interest.
Isn't that because MS were selected as the sole supplier of ECUs by the FIA? Something makes me suspect the decision was made on how much the FIA were paid, rather than on the merit of Windows an an RTOS.
That's quite possibly true. I was simply pointing out that the MSFT system was being used in F1 cars and making no judgments about the merits or otherwise of the selection process or its in-practice efficacy.
I'm a photographer too (albeit semi-pro) and don't have that much data, about 2TB at last count. I use CrashPlan, they offer both cloud ($6/m unlimited data), local and shared (backing up to a family/friends computer). You can seed you initial backup to the cloud with physical disks sent to CrashPlan.
Carmack is without doubt an intelligent guy, but I can't help being constantly distracted from what he is saying by his constant, out-of-context use of "on there" and "on here". A nervous tic perhaps? Not one I've noticed in other interviews I seen of him.
We use a very similar naming convention, slightly less granular, but effect; State, City, Use, Number ie NYNYFS01 = NY, New York, File Server, 01 (a second file server would be numbered 02)
At home or in small business movie/book/game characters can be fun, but once you start to get more than a few systems and employees and that starts to become unwieldy.
... to buy $15 CD's, just to get the one or two songs you actually want and the 10 other songs that are complete filler...
I always preferred buying the whole album and still do.
But if you bought a whole CD for one song, more fool you. There were these things called singles, they've been around since music became commercialized. I don't get why people perpetuate the myth that individual song purchase was bought about by the digital age!
Have you used it?
iTunes requires a horribly bloated app installed on your computer and clunky syncing of music between said computer and your iOS device.
Google music needs none of this (with the exception of a small app to upload your music you already have to the cloud).
I have all 12,500 songs in my collection available to me wherever I am, no need to pick and choose what music to take with me. It was Google took us to the post PC world that Jobs kept pontificating about.
I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day, and pay the owner for permission to come to work, and when I get done, my manager would kill me and dance about on my grave singing Hallelujah.
And you try and tell the young coders today that and they won't believe you!!
Except of course the Adams co-wrote the screenplay.
"The script we shot was very much based on the last draft that Douglas wrote....All the substantive new ideas in the movie...are brand new Douglas ideas written especially for the movie by him....Douglas was always up for reinventing HHGG in each of its different incarnations and he knew that working harder on some character development and some of the key relationships was an integral part of turning HHGG into a movie." - Robbie Stamp, Executive Producer

No
The only question you need to ask them is weather they're willing to accept the quantified risks from having exposed systems.
I'm not sure asking them about weather is going to help. ;)
Definatly not true.
Really? The trend has been downward for a number of years for everyone below the age of 55, a much as 59% for teens. For those older than 55 there is an upward trend, but overall the trend is down. http://www.bostonglobe.com/bus... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12... http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/...

Windows Embedded has powered the ECUs in all Formula 1 cars (arguably the most technologically advanced race cars in the world) since 2008.
Lack of offline play kept me away. I'll likely purchase a copy now.

Not bloody likely! Angry Birds is testament to that.

Agreed! At least you only have 15, I've just been given the task of managing our Wordpress implementation, we're at 144. *Ugh*
Not if they're planning to buy Apple products ;)

Please point me to the part of this, or any of the other proposed bills that has government running the health care system.
Thank you!! I have been fighting that misnomer during debates at work, very few people seem to get it.
If you double-click the gadget when installing it, it will snap to the the right-hand side of the screen, thus replicating the side-bar.
I don't have a running copy of Windows 7 in front of me right now but there is probably a way to make them stay on top etc etc.

I wonder how long before we start to see this applied to swimmers bodysuits?
