Here is how Mr. Moffett looks at the costs of the plan that Verizon has announced for FiOS. Through 2010 the company will pay an average of $817 to run the fiber past the 19 million homes, on poles or under the ground. It will also incur $172 per home passed in other costs related to the video infrastructure. He assumes that 40 percent of the customers passed will buy at least one FiOS service. If you allocate the cost of running the fiber past the homes that don’t buy FiOS to those that do, that makes the cost of building the network $2,473 per home. (That cost would be less if more than 40 percent of the potential customers sign up. Or it could be higher, if sales don’t achieve the 40 percent level.)
If you need some very specific combination of applications and services (as you do) then you need to either combine several providers or just lease a dedicated server or co-locate your own hardware and run it yourself.
Just routing doesn't prove anything. ASICs are designed with a specific set of features based on the platform requirements. Routing (or really, multi-layer switching) is just one. Let's see them load up a bunch of additional features, you can start with just VACL and port mirroring.
But the people that are most likely to use this website (low income) don't pay federal income taxes anyways, and they get subsidized stuff from it, so what do they care? Keep voting for more federal government involvement! Free shit for all!
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.
As soon as it reaches critical mass, it's all downhill from there. We had a good run!
Facebook doesnt take into account the fact that its final cost is spread across the backs of millions of FLOSS developers its never known, whereas the US government is literally developing a system, an open market, that has never existed outside of a single state in its union.
So what's the name of the operating systems, webserver and application servers they wrote for healthcare.gov?
That's like saying a computer is HIPAA compliant. AWS does nothing to ensure HIPAA compliance. It's all a matter of how it's configured. There's nothing inherently "HIPAA Compliant" about AWS. It doesn't meet ANY of the criteria set out in the final rule until an instance is configured to do so.
the number of people who attempted to access and sign up on healthcare.gov in the first day dwarfs the first several years of enrollment at facebook.
Facebook had hundreds of millions of registered users in the first 6 years. As in, more than the entire population of the US. So unless people are registering for US healthcare from other countries, I'm going to have to call bullshit.

Except that we actually have a highly regulated duopoly, not a free market.

Where are you getting your numbers from?

The S model is always just a spec bump. Although slow motion video and TouchID are incredible.

Even more mainstream than that, Cisco IOS-XE is just linux running IOS as a module. Not to mention Arista is entirely Linux.
All of Brazil, India and southeast Asia disagrees.
Don't ever, EVER make the mistake of underestimating government ignorance. Especially when (multiple!) contractors are involved.

No, there is a function named goToSignUp().

If you think this site is more complicated than facebook you're an idiot.

and has a mission criticality above and beyond facebook.
Oh the irony
Link to source please
Yeah, no one has ever joined the military because it was the only option left. I hope the sarcasm was obvious enough for you.

The ironic thing is it should have gone to the lowest bidder, that's how the process works after all.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Most likely it's an honest, but misguided attempt to try and have some positive influence.
Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays!
Also please provide a source not during a FUCKING RECESSION. Thanks.
Ok, please provide a source where MOST of the jobs are lower paying.
Please provide source that ALL new jobs created from technology create lower skilled mew jobs.
