Thats funny, I make a little more than you, family of 3 with lots of help from parents, cheapest house in my area, and after 15 years of experience I can barely afford my life on one income.
$2500 window replacements? Fixing the windows in my house cost 6k lowest bid and I couldn't even fix the picture window or the DOORS.
At 80k per year you should be able to live on your own, save for your retirement, downpayment on a house and buy a car. In San Fran, thats the bare minimum to do that.
That's a LIVING WAGE in America-
Not getting by living with roomies so you can flush with cash. Are you going to live with roomies the rest of your life?
In many cases I agree with this....or at least for failing to move out of their 'comfort zone'. I see lots of people who have done the same job (never mind at the same place for almost 15 years). I'm not calling these people cowards, as there's something to be said for comfort... but risk = reward.
In my area (not US) if your skills have flattened so has your salary. If you grow and expand your abilties, there is plenty of room for growth.
BTW 80k to start in SF seems pretty horrible considering the cost of living there I dont find it surprising to command 6 figures after proving oneself.
I'm not sure how you are marked insightful. This type of redundancy, (which really puts it OUT of the realm of disaster recovery, and more of a cloud) is only available to the most wealthy and mission critical clients.
Also providing planning and facility services to other companies (which is what they advertise, an important distinction), does not mean one can afford to treat every client they host as mission critical (themselves included). Problems certainly arise when a DR site itself is facing a disaster- I don't see why this is unexpected.
It's ok, disaster recovery and business continuity is often accompanied by unrealistic expectations. Businesses themselves rarely understand the subtle differences between such plans, facilities and services.
I agree 100%, I was simply playing role of joke_explainer.
However, i definitely find the idea that otherwise progressive/moderate Republicans commit political suicide by refusing to sign Norquist's pledge is a dead sign of radicalization of the right.
Just because the glass of water is only half full, doesn't mean it isn't filling with water.
I admit my other examples are a reach, but we definitely saw Dion sold out as a radical when he was nothing of the sort- which I thought would illustrate my point.
Radical is the term used, because despite their location political spectrum, nearly all Republicans have signed and are committed to ( via rather vigorous political peer pressure ) Grover Norquist's extreme ideology on taxation and (R) pre-eminence.
When ideology does the steering, we tend to consider these people radicals.
(Case in point our beloved greens and depending on whom you ask, the NDP. Another example, Stephane Dion, slightly left of center, but lost an election by being "radical" and then "radical" enough to demand he form a coalition government).
Would you prefer the word "divisions"? I've met so many with your attitude which by the way, I find perplexing.
People use the word silos precisely because it refers to the invisible lines that dot and separate the political landscape. Silo is a political term that players use precisely because they are talking politics. Clearly this makes you uncomfortable. It's certainly not to offend your back office, apolitical sensibilities.
Yeah those East German coal fired plants burned unicorns full of farts and rainbows. I think what's special about 1990 is that it was the baseline for 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
Ruthless indeed. In 1997 my 3.8GB drive cost 495$ Cdn. The very next year 9 and 18GB drives were cheaper that below 500$. Double capacity/80% of price. Obviously a new generation of devices but imagine the race to the bottom that gen was.....

I agree with this comment 100%. This is how I keep my head above water and distinguish myself from the pack.
LOL show me where in San Fran you can mortgage a house + utils for 1500$ /month.
My 250k home in canada is 1300$ in mortgage alone, and thats with a 15% downpayment!

>1500 for a two bedroom unit is steep compared to other parts of the country, but hardly unaffordable on $80k/yr.
It is if you are saving properly for a downpayment and a 401k.

No one here mentioned a special Torx: ones with a security divot in the middle. Normal Torx will not work with these.
See Variants: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx
The security torx bits can be hard to find reliably, but many parts from large manufacturers require these simply to remove rails from a dead HDD.
Disaster Recovery does not mean what you think it means.

>It has also objected to names such as '.sucks' and '.wtf,' stating that these names have 'an overtly negative or critical connotation.'"
We wouldn't want to have any criticism on the Internet, would we?

well they are probably dead now.
No way! I'm getting rich on Rubber Boot futures!

This is precisely what I was trying to point out.

GoogleDocs as a BCP? Oh brother.
I called TBS and operators have confirmed farts are indeed funny. I'm not sure why we are discussing it.
Oh FFS, just get on with it and arrest Dr. Weird.
