Why they claim a "permanent and exclusive" license rather than just giving you the software. If the license is permanent, you have it forever, and if it's exclusive, they can't use or sell it. Unless I'm missing something, they are just being pricks and that's not a very good corporate culture for a consulting house.
Then the issue falls under common law known as Shop Rights.
Simply stated, the creator of the work owns the work, and the shop (police department in this case) where the work was developed has the non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free right to use the invention in the "shop".

For the record, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
Stands a greater risk of injury from tripping over the cables of a wired network than from the RF emitted from a wireless network. Our poor, ignorant UK friends...
Sheldon Glashow, who won a Nobel Prize for making one of the last great advances in physics before the beginning of the string-theory era, has likened string theory to a 'new version of medieval theology,'
I prefer the term "intellectual masterbation"
Should come in at about $300. The HP4000 is, without a doubt the best departmental laserprinter ever built. They run and run and run, recharged toner cartridges are cheap and they can be overhauled by the user. Memory is also cheap. We have 250k plus on one of ours and it's still working like a champ.
Only if they are clueless. Frankly, I'd be scared shitless that I'd have to deliver 1,000,000 computers for $1,000,000 when they costed me $1,500,000 to build.
In a normal office environment, assuming you can keep the porn and mp3's under control, people don't create enough bits in the course of a day to be an issue. Remember that this is the age of 300Gig harddrives for $100.
Amazing that a Good Thing gets turned into a big-brother or privacy issue just because it's Microsoft. Shadow copy has saved my ass twice in the past year and the more it's available, the better. If employees are worried about the boss checking up on them, then maybe they should just do their job.
Keep in mind that the goal and justification of a desktop is productivity, not some vaguely defined "monitoring" issue.
Get up and walk around. Chew a couple vitamin C tablets and drink some water. Read slashdot and get back to work. Sometimes music helps, sometimes it doesn't. Wished I had some better ideas...
Not as sorry as I am.
The point, however, is that PacBell aka SBC aka ATT has promised fiber-to-the-curb for about 15 years now and it still hasn't happened.
When I was a kid, the dentist's drill was going to be replaced by git and ultrasound. Then it was going to be a laser... Sorta like flying cars or fiber-to-the-curb.

Ehhhh, you can't fool us; it's the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he's got a great secret in him.
Just tell us, no free publicity.

Seems unlikely that existing porn sites will voluntarily move from .com to .xxx domains.
I've heard them called "cloud magnets".
But I had the same problem when I tied a piece of CAT5 around my dick.

Damn, I wished I had some mod points to mod this funny. As it is, it will prolly get modded off-topic and disappear.
LOL, and he is not flamebait.

The Therac-25 incident? Should we trust the programmers with people's lives?
Not Mindshare's spin of it. Until then, we don't know enough.
Most people in the United States support the wiretapping program.
Right.
I'm a republican (in the old meaning of the term) and I absolutely *don't* trust the government. Bush is the worst republican president since Nixon.
How about fibre-to-the-curb or even better, to my demark point instead. Wireless is nice, but I spend 90% of my on-line time connected to a wire.

Is how much overhead does virtualization take up? At what point do you actually need another box because of the performance hit?

Sort of the x86 assembly of languages?
but then you have cases like: Weigh, way, and whey. If we compressed that to simply 'way', which way would you way the way?
In the context. Japanese has the same issue and that's how they deal with it. Besides, it would vastly increase the odds of constructing puns.
