How about we not turn one sentence, unverified, anonymous reports of stuff not working on websites into Slashdot stories. Might as well pipe our corporate helpdesk ticketing system into the Slashdot story submitter. "MY MONITAR WIL NOT TURN ON!!11!!"
Peanut allergies are a very real thing. That said, I don't agree with schools banning PB&J from the cafeteria because 1 kid has an allergy. There are other ways to handle that kind of thing, like teach the kid to stay away from peanuts.
Yeah, the thing is it already has taken off. They can hardly add additional capacity fast enough. AWS is a very profitable business for Amazon. Our company switched from a traditional data center setup to running fully on AWS and it did reduce our costs and increase our agility and scalability. That said, like anything it's not a fit for everybody.
I was an early adopter of FiOS in 2006. Had the 5/2 plan for $29.99. Since then the price has slowly increased. Last year they doubled by download speed and started charging me $49.99 for 10/2.
If I had it to do over again, I'd have stuck with DSL. I don't need anything faster than 5/2. Now I'm stuck with a minimum price of $50/month. Lame.
Our company was one of those preorders. We were testing our product on lots of different tablets. We received the JooJoo, saw what a piece of garbage it was, and returned it for a full refund.
Most Muslims will ignore it and call them "retards". It's the extremists that everyone is scared of. Those crying out against the burning are scared that this will provoke another 9/11. You know how there was this one quiet strange kid in school that no one would pick on? This is kinda the same thing.
I can't begin to understand why these calculators, which have been around for many years and still have the same features and functions, cost the same as they did when I was in school about 15 years ago.

Yeah really. Before we got away from traditional hardware (NAS, SAN, etc.) we had piece of crap Dot Hill arrays and they had redundant power supplies and redundant controllers. There must be more to this story.
I can attest to this. Years ago I took a bunch of BrainBench tests (for fun) and got a lot of computer-related certs. Then just for kicks I took the phlebotomy test, and guess what, I passed and got a cert. I have no medical background at all, but was able to pass. Lame.
Seems to me it cheapens their value if you can just replace them. I have a dog whom I adore, but I would never clone him so I could replace him when he goes. Gah, it's a creepy thought actually. His memory will live forever in my heart when he goes.
That said, if other people want to do it, then good for them.
As long as power use is built into the fixed price I pay for the cabinet I rent at the colo, I'll never turn off my servers if I don't need to. Why would I?
Slashdot Mirror
I'm still waiting for Flooz to make a come back.
I suppose Bill Cosby is wondering the same thing about this situation.
kbai!

Jeopardy doesn't stream online -- heck, they don't even make past episodes available online. Best bet is www.channelsurf.eu
wouldn't they still need some special license to rent out the DVDs?
With a connection like that it's about latency, not just pure speed. Also you usually get an SLA. Not so with residential FiOS.

They should put message at the beginning of movies instead of the stupid FBI warning thing.
You could probably get off on some sort of technicality even if you were actually driving drunk.

I hate Monsanto too, but let's get the facts straight. They don't sell sterile seeds. No one sells terminator seeds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_use_restriction_technology
I did too.

...I think you should focus less on age and experience and more on recognizing potential.
