Agreed. We still use a terminal emulator where I work in a payment industry.
Nearly every job I have ever worked had either bigiron or AS 400 there somewhere, banking industry, AutoZone (huge bigiron operation), Circuit City (the entire checkout system was AS 400, Best Buy (for their "green screen" most people I worked with had no idea how to use it, but those that did could run circles around the web site), debt collection agency (aka den of sin, what a horrid place to have worked), Whirlpool, it was there somewhere. Ok, I don't know if Taco Bell had one and when I was an airplane mechanic we didn't have one (hell, we didnt' have a computer, but we did have a lawn that was very well protected).
And I'm an extremist because I do not believe that "globul warming" is a settled issue? Fuck man, just fucking wow dude. Move to North Korea already. They've been waiting for you for a long time.
Probably at first. The first 128GB microSD cards by SanDisk were/are painfully slow. Lexar finally has a 128GB card now and it runs circles around the SanDisk. Took about a year for anyone else to produce a 128GB sized card after SanDisk released theirs. They have a 200GB version now, last time I checked it was over 4x's the price of the 128. I'd pay 4x's the price for a 400GB card, but not for just 72GB difference. I at least wand 256GB to come out, my current 128 is full:(.
Some of us think MP3, no matter how high the bitrate, is inadequate (and fyi MP3 tops out at 320kbps). Do they sound ok? Mostly. All of my CDs are stored in FLAC. What I can get in higher resolution (24-48 to 24-192) I get, if at all possible, I prefer DSD (aka SACD). It's quite common for an average album to approach 5GB in DSD. And yes, it does sound better. Especially DSD, much better. So a 1 or 2 TB microSD card would be very welcome to myself and many people like me that appreciate high resolution audio files.
I'm not sure if my first computer came with 3.0 for sure, I feel like it did. I just remember buying (shortly after I got my first computer) Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and DOS 6.22 and together with QEMM having the most stable (if not the most difficult to configure properly) system until Windows XP arrived to remove the configuration issues, then Windows 7. There was a utility that I never purchased for WfWG 3.11 that allow the program groups to have nested folders. Man, that was awesome. Then Windows 95 reared it's ugly head. The nested folders application was no more, but so was system stability until Windows XP SP2 arrived. Damn those were difficult times, when reinstalling was a weekly event.
...already does this. No need for a $2300 tablet, grab an off-the-shelf iPad/iPhone/Android/Windows Phone, install AirWatch, push the required packages and secure as needed/required from the management console. All corporate data is held in a secure container by the software. Remote management? Done. Remote wipe? Done. Remote password reset? Done. Need to locate the device? Done. Need to see what other software is installed on the device? Done.
Why is it every time someone decides they want to be responsible for their own safety and protection, as opposed to relying on the government for it, they are somehow afraid/scared and/or have some physical deformity/mental handicap?
I mean really? Can you not provide a more effective argument than "your a scaredy cat" or "my dick is bigger than yours" or "your a stupid head". I understand that you are just following the saul alynsky routine, ridicule, radicalize, demonize, but it seems to me you could do a better job is all.
The simple fact of the matter is I don't have to justify myself to you or anyone else. It's my right.
Oh, there is market for this. I personally have a iBasso DX90. If you think this is expensive, look up the AK 240 by a now rebranded iRiver.
I have never used my smart phone as a media player, I just don't want to. There is not enough storage and I strangely want to make sure my phone has enough power to make phone calls and playing music will impact this. To each their own here.
If I had the extra funds, I would have an AK 120II in a heartbeat, I just cannot justify $1200. It's on par with this offering, wifi, Bluetooth, Android, touch screen, etc. Sony's previous offering was still a bit steep at around $600 and with no SD card slot so you were locked into the on-board storage. At least they finally added the SD slot (every other player manufacturer has one, sometimes two see the Fiio X5). If Sony used their size and lowered the price to $300-$400, they would kill Fiio and iBasso and even AK assuming the quality was there.
Honestly, I would have been happy if Apple had increased the storage, or added a SD slot with the Nano. I loved that little thing. Small, light, good battery, just crap for space considering it maxes at 16GB and about 1-2GB of that is the OS and file system overhead. But then I found the DX90 and went that direction. I could have gone with a SanDisk and flashed the firmware with RockBock, and probably should have. But I'm very happy with the DX90 (except for battery life, but I can deal with that) and frankly, that's all that matters here.

Regardless, the point remains. Those of us at the end of the IRS gun barrel (and yes, if you do not pay your taxes, sooner or later, someone armed with a gun will come to visit you) must keep our records for multiple years. Loosing said records is not an excuse and will find you guilty of all charges levied against you and you will be fined and/or thrown in jail. Why is this not applied to the members of the entity that will surely, swiftly and thoroughly enforce their retention laws? There is no excuse for these "lost" emails, they are on a server somewhere or backed up on tape somewhere. Do I have proof? No. But seriously, do you really believe these emails are not recoverable?
I've seen high schools in Texas (Hastings in Aliefe) with larger sports complexes (and much much nicer) than some universities. I particularly recall the swimming and diving building that was as nice as any Olympic facility.
They are great bullets. Keep up with the effort by the ATF to have such bullets reclassified as armor piercing? Seems if you are a conspiracy theorist, you would say the government is trying to ban guns by making lead ammo illegal claiming it's toxic and then having all other ammo classified illegal by calming it's armor piercing. No ammo, no gun.
My grandfather owned a shoe store in a small town. He had all sorts of tools used to stretching shoes, making a dimples for corns and some others that quite frankly looked like some sort of medieval torture device. That I know of, after the store closed, they disappeared. *sigh* They remind me of my grandparents, I miss seeing them, the tools and my grandparents. Perhaps they are still used in shoe repair stores and mom & pop shoe stores.
I HAVE SEEN plenty of uses for this. I did IT at a small news paper and when I first started, we had 3 or 4 Ruby iMacs acting in server roles. They were finally replaced with MacMini's. However, these did not require OSX Server for their purpose, but for tasks such as moving wire streams, file conversions, getting files to and from the image adjustment servers, etc. they really were perfect for the task. For instance, we setup an old dual G5 for a file server role for dropping articles with OSX Server...if and when that system dies, the need for a rack-mount server or MacPro is over-kill for 80 or so users, MacMini however...perfect. There are many light duty server roles like this that a Mini running OSX Server would be useful and cost effective.
Sure, id doesn't add much to the cost, however, when was the last time you saw any publicly traded company not be as cheap as possible? Even if it only costs about $10 to $100 to make the vehicle E85 compatible, they are not about to absorb that cost over thousands of vehicles. Hell, what would it have cost for Sony to keep an IR port on the PS3? 10 cents? As it is now, you must use either a controller or the Sony bluetooth remote (granted Logitech as an adapter out now for $60, substantially more than a.10 IR port) How much more did it cost for them to have a fully backwards compatible PS3? An extra $1? How about an HDMI chipset that could bit-stream audio? An extra $1? Do you really think car companies are any different?
That is exactly what I have been saying. Apollo was the heaviest lifter we had, it worked, and it worked great. What's wrong with pulling out the blue prints, updating some components and building a newer improved version of the Apollo system? Why is this so hard to figure out? It's certainly better than wasting 1600+++ pounds on shock absorbers, damn that is just plane stupid. It's not like this is rocket..oh wait...but still!
I have the opposite issue. I have a great surround sound system with a receiver capable of decoding the new sound formats and 7.1 speakers. It's really incredible to me the difference when you put in a HD-DVD or blu-ray disc with lossless audio and switch back and forth between lossy and lossless. Now, my TV is not so good. It's a 50" 720p Plasma. It does ok, but not on par with my sound system.

Please provide your source for the officer's girlfriend corroborating the officer's story.
Haven't noticed Tennessee have you? It's just a few hours drive to CST from me in my EST location.

An you spend WAY too much time using spaul alinsky tactics to ridicule those you do not agree with.
Strange, that's not what obama said about the election, he was quoted and recorded as stating that this election was all about his policies.

Almost Zero huh? Explain the two phone calls we received offering to pay us $28 to vote for Obama.
