not really. For the most part, these solutions are going to be used by different users. SAN/NAS is for enterprise users who have specific needs that are best met by fiber attached SAN on caching arrays; major enterprise entities -- very large corporations with complicated storage needs and thousands of servers.
The sort of solution we are discussing here is for the person who isn't reliant on through put or the kind of caching and redundancy that an EMC or other brand name high end san solution might offer; consumer level or small business level purchasers with straightforward storage needs that reside on one or a few computers.
There's a middle group that has to more carefully balance the cost/benefit analysis when choosing a storage solution. Do they require fiber throughput? Is price a more important factor? The large SAN products will likely lose some of these mid-tier clients, but giant corporations require support and indemnification that low cost systems such as the one in the article will never be able to provide.
Free speech refers to the ability to speak without anyone attempting to stop you. Free speech can be actively enhanced by private individuals and organisations and can also be restricted (although not so easily). Free speech is a principle. It was the principle that guided the creation of the first amendment.
You need to go back and reread the Federalist Papers. The First Amendment concept of "Free Speech" is entirely based on preventing the government from restricting the speech of its citizens. And even that isn't absolute. SCOTUS has offered several cases where the government can "reasonably" restrict the speech of the public: threats of bodily harm, threats against public officials, incitement to violence, incitement to riot...
In the end, the "Free Speech" provision of the First Amendement was primarily conceived of to protect religious and political speech, primarily. That private, personal speech is protected is secondary to those two main aims.
In the end, Opie n Anthony are lucky that they aren't facing criminal charges, instead of just having their show suspended for a month. A hard ass prosecutor could reasonably go after them for a threat against the SoS and probably make it stick. At least through SCOTUS. And with this Supreme Court, Opie n Anthony could get 20 years in Leavenworth.
Certainly, XM subscribers have the right to cancel their subscriptions in protest to this XMs actions. But, this is not a free speech issue. This is a commercial speech issue and as their employers, XM has the right to take Opie n Anthony off the air at any time, for any reason, with in the bounds of their contract.
Have XM stock, do you? If they are charging people who have cancelled their accounts, they are stealing from those people. They should be facing criminal charges.
A 2%er is a certain kind of member in a biker gang (think Hell's Angels). ITCOB = I Took Care of Business
So at some point in his biker career, he did something that if he had gotten caught, would have been a felony.
I am a consultant at a vast private company (if it were public, it would be in the top 25 of the Fortune 500). They like to send their internal people to the Dale Carnegie classes.
Other options would include:
taking business writing and classes at a local community college.
Toastmasters (while they are about public speaking, they also help develop communications skills).
You might check out a local community college or public university to see who their technical/business writing professors are and contact one of them for additional resources.
hire a policeman guilty of battery in the past.
I've never seen this be a disqualifier for getting hired as a police officer. Murder, yes. Beating people up? No.
Note: I'm not talking about whether it should be a disqualifier or not, but rather if it is currently used that way. As to my background, I was an EMT for several years in a lot of different mid-sized cities. So I was around cops a lot. And there were always a few who had a past history of fighting. Hell, in Rapid City, I knew a cop who was a former 2%er. Still had his ITCOB pin.
Sorry. I've been a lumberjack. It's a miserable fucking job with long hours, no life, and not very good pay for the risks. And you don't get to bathe enough.
I suspect you are correct. However, they don't have any decent games out for the hardcore console game, as far as I can ascertain either. At this moment, the hardcore console crowd seems either to be sticking with a PS2 or to have moved on to the X-Box 360. And the guys that buys a console who his kids will quit nagging him for a video game system seems to be buying a Wii.
I really think that the PS3 is going to have to be sub $400 before it starts picking up momentum. And Sony doesn't want that to happen.
Sony still hasn't demonstrated a good reason for me to buy a PS3 when the only console games I want to play are Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero 2, both of which I can play on a significantly cheaper PS2.
I don't know about UOs demise. I played it for a little while and hated the fact that you had to PvP. I didn't want to PvP. That's certainly the reason I switched to EQ (and then, for a short while, to Earth and Beyond); EQ had servers that didn't require PvP. The only PvP based game I've ever been interested in was Auto Assault and it was a blast when there were other people on. The problem with Auto Assault is that that only happened about twice a month.
?? I was expressing surprise that people were questioning greater restrictions on soldiers posting to blogs and such. They should have known it was coming. So again, so what? Why is this a story?
Soldiers give up their right to free speech when they sign their contracts. This has been long established. So, I'm not sure why new rules for soldiers blogging would be a big deal. Any commander who wants to take it to an extreme will just piss off his troops and have a unit that is ineffective and uncertified for War.
I too am contantly amazed that anyone wants the incompetent boobs they elect to actually do anything. I alwasy for for the person I think will create the most gridlock so the government can't actually screw as much up!
Hasn't the SEC already closed its investigation in to Jobs' involvement with these options? That's what I heard on business news weekly this morning, anyway...

bad patent. Big surprise there. There have been games based on punch out models for decades.

This this story is about trolling let me be the first to say HI!
It's Hai!
Welcome to the Milton Friedman world of business economics.

Uhh...level and gear imbalance? And the fact that they had to start completely over every time they got ganked? Duh...
People hated Ultima Online. That's why they all picked up and went to EQ.
You want to go back to it?
That's because you humans suck!:P We aliens are much better for the planet.

Off topic, a little? Movies aren't the subject here. Music is. The RIAA doesn't have anything to do with movies.
