If employees can justify asking the boss to leave because of his personal beliefs, then they should respect the opposite and support the boss when he similarly asks them to leave for theirs.
"It's basically google maps with a different skin"
It was developed by a different company, has a completely different code base, uses different map data, was created to monitor traffic flow and reroute users based on that, shows other users, allows users to map new areas by driving them, allows users to edit maps, and more.
But sure, other than that it's just a re-skin, in exactly the same way that Android is a re-skin of Windows.
"if Mr. Gorodish is correct, and Waze was licensed under GPLv2, then we do in fact have a right to the source code, and Google would be breaking the law by not providing it. "
Only if it contained code not written by Waze (or Google, who is now the copyright owner). If you write a program, and release source under any version of the GPL, you're perfectly free to not release source for any future versions - you're the copyright owner, you're not relying on the GPL for your rights. The GPL terms are effective on _others_, who may modify the source and are then required to release the modified source when the distribute their version.
The attempt to tie map data into the situation is like trying to claim that a word processor must be open sourced if it is used to edit open source code.
BS. ATT wants to charge both ways. It's a matter of whether to charge for the data received (requested) or sent. That's already been decided, in both Internet and traditional telecom. To have a phone, one pays a small access fee. When you originate a call, that's when usage charges kick in. Similarly, it's ATT's Internet users who are originating requests for service from Netflix, and it behooves ATT to service their customers, not try to double-dip by asking Netflix to also pay for transport of that data.
No, Netflix is not using ATT as a transit network, they're just delivering the data ATT's customers have requested.
That's like saying "a GUI." The OP was asking for a specific interface. My vote's with Junos, and its support for piping, commit confirmed, hierarchical structure, etc.
buy the IAU some Wheaties which haven't been pissed in.
Seriously, the IAU is just a private organization with self-appointed powers. Their "official naming rights" are no more official than your's or mine, although their names are more likely to get used.
Don't like his example because a 1950 TV was immature? In 1980, I bought a 13" Sony Trinitron on sale, for $399. That was a no-frills TV - not even a remote, and it was a good deal at the time. That's $1100 today, enough for a 60", flat screen one with all sorts of bells and whistles. Or, I could buy a 19" one for $100.
And, no, it's not a straw man. The reason the comparison has validity was mentioned when it was given.
Here's a perfect example of why the federal Constitution has an interstate commerce clause. States are interfering with interstate commerce to protect local businesses. Time for some federal legislation to shut this down.
Sorry to step on your tiny pee-pee, but it's obvious you don't have a clue how any of it works, and are relying on searching Wikipedia for your "knowledge."
Hey, Ford - you're committing a felony under the CFAA. I use my car to go to the store and buy stuff, participating in Interstate Commerce. That make the car's computer a "protected computer" under the act. By accessing GPS info, you're "intentionally access[ing] a computer without authorization... and thereby obtain[ing]... information from any protected computer."
That subjects you to "a fine under this title or imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or both," since it's being done for commercial advantage.
And no, even if you got some sort of explicit ToS waiver from the original purchaser of the car, that doesn't extend to any used car buyer.
Uh, no. Take 100GBASE-LR4 as an example. It runs over a single fiber pair. It does send 4 "lanes," or frequencies of light, through the fiber using WDM, but it's a single fiber in each direction.
You're apparently trying to refer to 100GBASE-SR10, but don't know enough to say so.
The real question should be - why are they misleading us?
This is nothing but marketing. They're comparing 10 Gb Ethernet, which runs over a single fiber pair, to something which runs at 25 Gb, over 32 fiber pairs.
Meh. 100 Gb Ethernet is commercially available today, which is 4x faster that what the article is hyping.
Sounds to me like either NASA gets a good deal for bulk or long term contracts, and sold off what they didn't need at "full cost," which would seem to be a wash.
The market (I'd assume they mean the immediate "spot") price can be expected to be higher because there's no contractual commitment, and the volume is less.
I don't see any problem - the gov't didn't subsidize anyone, and Google found a cost-saving source for jet fuel. It's not clear what the submitter thinks would be fair, but it seems that they think the gov't should be in the market to make a profie or the fuel companies should make even more profit?
that your assumption is incorrect. Some firewalls do deep inspection, looking for malware coming from websites, via email, etc. They'll do SSL MITM to allow that to work. It doesn't necessarily mean they're doing anything nefarious.

Why use Google Apps when LibreOffice is not only economically free, but spyware free?
Why doesn't he go after the NBA? They have way more than a proportionate 17% African-Americans. They must be racists.
Give him a break - he's a politician.
They only make the promises. It's up to someone else to keep them.
A proper console serial port with CLI is mandatory for any proper piece of networking gear. How else are you going to manage it if the network's down?

I prefer my critical infrastructure management to be somewhat secure.

Uh, no. The spec for the micro-USB connector maxes out at 1.6A.

100 Gb/s per fiber x 32 fibers = 3200 Gb/s. 4x faster than this marketing of a promise for the future, and available today.

It's like having a beowulf cluster of Commodore 64s instead of a modern desktop. That's not progress.

OK, my turn. Let's call the next particle "Wowza!"
