Same here. I don't want to be chained to iTunes or the iPod in the future. Plus I've found that some MP4/AAC files sound like crap. For instance, Muse - Absolution sounds horrible downloaded from iTunes, and after I burned it to CD for playing in my vehicle's CD player, it sounded even worse.
Don't be a dick. A great person lost their life, whatever the circumstances are, and he and his family deserve our respect. To coldly headline his death with "Guy DIES OMFG" is insensitive and overly pragmatic, given you have a heart, I guess.
You're lucky for having to bring your own.
Ever have ULTRA ROAST Folgers from a vacuum pack that's been sitting in a drawer from a year?
You have to put enough non-dairy value cream and sugar in it to create paper mache, and chug.
You're saying the same thing a different way; GNS and VZB interconnects are just that. VZB isn't going to be taking over GNS because of regulatory differences, same reason core won't be integrated for the foreseeable future.
Verizon in particular is not mixing core with Verizon Business. The only interconnects we're doing are Verizon Business to Verizon GNS (their legacy LD network, primarily for carrying Verizon Wireless LD trunks I believe). I think there's some exaggeration to the confusion. One side is regulated heavily, the other mostly deregulated. Union vs. non-union, etc. There are just too many differences for core to be integrated heavily with Business, or Wireless, or GNS.
Not only are policy updates sent via email, but almost everything else. I have a 4GB mbox for Thunderbird at work, holding emails from as far back as 2000. The thing is, those emails have to be searchable. A searchable archive separate from the active Inbox or Local Folders mboxen would be very handy.
The company I work for hardly provides training at all. My department is responsible for tier 1 support of several devices on the network, and I think I've received training on 75% of them, about 10% of which lasted an entire day and is of any value to me. I have to study the equipment and its different configurations during work hours, when something breaks, through the grapevine of field techs, 2nd level, etc. Were I you, I'd do the same - just play with it while you're at work; books & websites don't come close to putting your hands on something.
As a fellow at MCI (please correct me if I'm wrong), what was your day-to-day activity like? I grok things as far up the technological chain as network engineering, but I never had insight into the work of a visionary at MCI.
BTW, it's great to be rid of the MCI name now that we're Verizon Business, and I wish you luck at Google.
I think that's a great idea. My family only watches about 10-15 channels total; if they'd just charge $2/month for those channels, that'd work for me. I'd pay $3 for a channel that would let me download episodes.
It's even dumber than "what happens if a nuclear reactor blows up?", because once outside of the controlled environment they'd have to create to spawn the tornado and feed it what it needs to BE a tornado, it would instantly collapse.

$39.99?? How 'bout I give you a quarter and you just send the free Ionic Life Vegetable Chopper gift?!

Either way, it just seems acerbic for the sake of being so.

This is genuinely a word-mincing exercise to discredit Microsoft. Is this really suitable as /. news?
Or, if your employer is not so fickle that you're not allowed to view news sites from work intermittently between work actions.
Precisely, Marty!

I agree, it's akin to having to be licensed to use radioactive equipment.

It's next-gen Duck Hunt. Problem is...?

It might actually double the victim's bicep circumference.
You give them too much credit.
I predict version 5 by that time, and Xgl will still be in an unstable apt repo.

The correct answer would have been "42"!

Wow. I'd pay $200 for Vista: The Green/Blue Album.
