Did any of you even read the article? They need to store the physical media, after it has already been archived to another data storage system.
I'd check out any of the big-boys that deal with large-scale, physical storage.
The one company I can think of off the top of my head is Spacesaver. If you've ever seen a hospital's records storage system, it was probably a Spacesaver unit.
Let's say you're this telco giant. Microsoft releases the ad (with approval from the telco's PR people, of course). Now, are you going to admit to your shareholders that the ad was, in fact, not true at all? No.
Microsoft was never punished because the telco couldn't admit that it wasn't true.
Oh, and I remember reading that you're only allowed to email people you have a current business relationship with... So you can't pay to send unsolicited mail.
Ok, first off, it allows AOL & Yahoo to crank up the sensitivity of the spam filters... They no longer have to worry about if some bulk mail is legitimate or not, they just assume it all isn't.
Secondly, not just anyone can use this pay-to-email program. There are minimum requirements and certian levels of verification you have to go through.
Lastly, the authentication seal won't be in the email itself. It will be built into the email client. Not sure how that's going to work if you use your own email client, and not theirs.
Now that I think about it, they were considering putting all that non-customer data in a datacenter like Rackspace to get around the problem. What a joke!
SBC corporate (now AT&T) is exactly like this. I was a contractor building an application in 3 months. IT said that it would take up to 12 months AFTER applying for a server in NEXT YEAR'S budget. That's right, it was going to take 16 months and several layers of approval. The VP of the entire division (only 1 person down from the CEO) couldn't bust through that red tape.
Now THAT was funny... 3 months later I had a working application sitting on a shared server, and I had to go. We had about 1 week's worth of data in there, but that was almost 100,000 rows in most tables.
Perhaps it's just a simple business decision... There are 5-6x more bigots than non, so instead of banning over half their user base, they'd rather ban a small percentage.
This post is just something to provoke thought. I did not research and my numbers are just an example.
True, but slightly misinformed. Most high-speed hard drives (which, of course, would be the point of a FW800 drive vs. a FW 400) consume too much power to be powered off the Firewire bus. I would assume the same is true of video cameras... they would need a full wall-outlet.
I agree. This is *not* the standard. You need to go to your boss and explain that they need to train you to do these things or remove them from your job description.
In fact, I bet that this CURRENTLY is not in your job description. That should put you in an interesting position of requesting training AND a promotion in title.
That's not exactly the same comparison. Employers might not allow employees to smoke at work. That would be like Nintendo not allowing you to smoke while your GameCube was turned on.
So, technically, you couldn't find what he requested, which was a sony press release that stated there would be no online support. Just a lot of consistant speculation.:)
Uh, yeah... So I guess none of you see the connection (no pun intended) between Microsoft buying the best x86 > PPC emulator on the market from Connetix, and Microsoft using some magical emulation to make x86 based Xbox games run on the PPC based 360.
I find it highly amusing that anyone who says anything publically negative about Jack is, according to Jack, doing something illegal. It's usually the same soundbyte over and over. This time it's a judge, so there's some judicial thing that he's breaking.
Uh... from what I heard the MIT team was invited out to 'Frisco by the Mythbusters to try it on a real boat... and couldn't do it.
How does it make you feel...

How do you feel when you've finished exploring a myth in front of the cameras, knowing that your results are being closely scrutinized by geeks worldwide, and, in a lot of cases, by experts in their respective fields?

Camping in the same spot for nearly 3 hours... he's probably just afk.
Isn't the internet just a series of tubes?

They even claim CD/DVD support:

How'd you know it was a Voodoo 3DFX card?

I didn't say it wasn't extortion... I just said that it's not a way to get spam sent for a fee :)

Techincally, it's not an exception. The next version of Lightroom will be a universial binary.
:)
Of course, the "next" version is actually the first release, but hey.

98k miles on my 2000 Altima, and it has needed the following repairs:
Idler pulley & belts replaced
New breaks
I'd say not bad at all.
Everon IT does it too.

About how long can we expect XP to have security patches before we're forced to migrate to Vista?
That would be a "MackBook Pro". Or, perhaps, they didn't want to get that name confused with "Getting your mack on".
Did anyone mention yet that an Intel bunny guy came on the stage for the keynote?
