I did RTFA. This thing is going to get dropped (a lot) on hard ground and in the sand, and probably in water for that matter. It will be left out overnight in who-knows what kind of elements, it's going to get left on the hood of the HMMV when somebody drives away. It will get tossed in somebody's pack and that pack will then get tossed who-knows where and who-knows how hard. Are you getting the picture?
So does their device withstand extremes of temperature duration both operation and storage? High humidity? Is it impervious to dust? How does it handle shock and vibration?
20+ years ago, I worked for a company that designed & manufactured power supplies for the military. It's one thing to design a quick & dirty one-off, proof-of-concept. It's quite another to build a production device that will withstand continued use in a multitude of military environments.
It may or may not mean professional in the context you mention, but it sure seemed to in the post I initially replied to which said "...(a lot of the pro users in Flickr are professional photographers)...", so that is the basis of my assumption and reply.
OK, you invested all this time in creating metadata and didn't back it up. And you're earning a living off it to some degree. Sorry, again, it's not very bright to not have a backup of the data that is critical to your continued success.
I guess when you've paid for the service (some of us Pro users) and have put in several years of effort uploading thousands of photographs (a lot of the pro users in Flickr are professional photographers), you are a little worried about your photos disappearing overnight.
Wait a minute... are you telling me that there are professional photographers who store their content on Flickr and don't have backup copies? Excuse me, but that doesn't sound very professional. That sounds stupid.
the best CEO's seem to be former sales people. They can promote the company and aren't shy about asking customers for money. Many CIO's lack extensive P&L experience as IT, in most companies, is a cost center. Without that critical P&L experience, making the transition to CEO, especially at the Global 2000 level is difficult.
It was discussed on the full-disclosure mailing list 2 weeks ago. If Google is continuing to do this, it's hard for me to see it as anything but irresponsible.
but it's faster than dialup, and if that's how one is drawing the line (i.e., broadband is anything that isn't dialup), then 200kbps is probably as good a number as any. I seem to recall that my first ISDN connection was only 128kbps.
If Steve were forced out of the CEO slot by the Feds, it's likely that he would not be able to hold an officer position in any publicly-traded company. Nice try though.
$700 for what? A brand-new, unlocked Blackberry 8100 (aka Pearl) can be had on eBay for $400. That's $400 for an unlocked phone with no contract, versus iPhone's $500 for a locked phone and a 2yr contract.
When the iPod first came out, the mp3 market was still very small and still is in comparison to the cell phone market. There are over 2 billion cell phones in use today, with the big players having huge market share; Nokia's is currently over 30%. It's a low-margin, commodity business... not an area where Apple has expertise (niche products, high margins).
SO, I wouldn't base the past success of the iPod as an indicator of the future success of the iPhone.
I'll bet you it's worth a whole lot more than $1.50 to Apple. Apple's IP lawyers are no dummies. They knew for a long time that Cisco owned this trademark, as, according to Cisco, Apple has been negotiating for years to try and buy it.
Paraphrasing Cisco, it's too soon to tell what convergence you will see between home, mobile, wifi, voip, etc... phones in the future and Cisco would be foolish to let the trademark go for a pittance.

Hmmm... people have offered to help me in the past when I've done somethign like slipped and fell down. Are you sure this isn't more about _you_?
would you find a talking doll listed as the first application.
"And her name is
P-I-N-K-Y
P-I-N, no lie
K-Y, me-oh-my
She's $69.95
Give her a try"
Add a few more things depending on zee size of zee steeck.

large enterprise customers are end-users if you define end-user as the one who writes the check for the software.

Profit & Loss. Sorry, I've been familiar with the term for so long that I mistakenly assumed it was widely known.

Couldn't the 6 of you who are still interested just start a mailing list or something?
if you can only fire 10 per day.

If you don't keep your security stuff up to date, especially on a Windows machine, you have no idea what it's being used for.

No CEO would take the job under those terms. In fact, that's how Steve moved from iCEO to CEO... nobody wanted the CEO spot with Jobs in the picture.

Razr's were $500, unlocked, on ebay when first introduced. This is $500 for a locked phone + 2 yr contract. Big difference
$500-$600 is for a locked phone with a 2yr contract. Even after a few months, unlocked ones on eBay will be over $1000.
