I'm still not buying it, it's still not the scope of the device. Catering to users that use the device outside its intended use (not that there is anything wrong with that) starts to back you into a corner as a developer.
Want a cheap linux laptop with reasonable specs? Fine, get a chromebook and install a "real" linux distro on it and not this locked down thing, then you can format your drives however you want.
I'm a linux user, and a ChromeOS user. I failed to see why everyone got their painties in such a bunch over this. ext* external file systems don't really seem to be in the scope of the ChormeOS devices, what would be the use case for 99.99% of users of ChromeOS to do this? Heck, I don't even format my detachable external drives as ext* on my linux boxen as those are the drives I use to transfer bits around to other computers.
My use case is our floor workers all have very restricted access to the internet at their non-user specific workstations. Since we use Google apps for our mail here I needed a way to allow access to our corporate gmail, but not their personal ones. Since all accounts are on the google.com domain I can't just block via fqdn, I need something to intercept which account they are accessing and restrict based on that.
Lot's of companies exist that do exactly that, but I think you're looking for a big nationwide (or worldwide) company. Look for local managed IT providers, lot's of them exist that do nearly all that you want (don't see many offering XMPP, as much as I would like it), heck in my small circle if IT friends, two of the guys own such companies. These guys exist to provide turnkey IT solutions to companies that don't have the abilities to do it themselves and I'll bet if you can drive enough business they would probably let you setup some kind of whitebox rebranding deal if you want your name on it.
'where is the talent going to come from?'
Local I would imagine.
Since it's only going to create 29 jobs in the city, surely there are 29 local people that are qualified to work in a DC with the six colleges nearby from your cited link. I doubt anyone would want to uproot and move there that didn't have pre-exiting ties.
Right, it's not really ment to be end user serviced, because most end users are not capable of servicing a dead drive.
You simply pay $149 to extend you AppleCare coverage to three years when you purchase your shiny new macmini server, and when a drive fails they can walk it into an apple store and the "Genius" will replace the drive for them, no extra charge.
THAT is exactly what small businesses need. I've worked large multi-national enterprise IT, and I've worked small business; oftentimes my "Enterprise" brain wants to kick in and build out a fully redundant setup for a small business that is only employing 8 people making a few thousand profit each month. In my mind of five nines of uptime it makes sense, but for those 8 people it makes no sense at all.
a mini/mac pro as a fileserver for a small business might not be bonkers, but beyond SOHO use, why would anyone bother with a mac server?
SOHO / SMB is their target now. A mac mini with RAID-1 drives is more than sufficient, and many times more capable than what I see a lot of small business using.
I thought this what already a known thing about LDS/LSA, perhaps this is just another type of headache they have found it helps?
D.H.E. 45 is a medication that pretty much stops headaches dead (while your having one), it is an ergot alkaloid and ergot is a precursor to LSD/A
None of this is default behaviour though. It might be tired and you might be sick of hearing it over and over but that's because it's a problem for a lot of people.
[citation needed] If it is a real problem, that *real* people (not just slashdotters) care about, they need to seek out a solution...that already exists. If it is too advanced for them, and it is still an issue for them on facebook then they need to practice self preservation and remove their account.
Judging by your reaction to me, it sounds like you have very little sympathy for that and that they get what they deserve. I think that says more about you than me.
That doesn't stop random asshats tagging you in photos.
Yeah...but it's pretty easy to adjust the privacy settings so that only you can see the photos you are tagged in, effectively turning off the 'feature'. Also the 'random asshats' would be people you explicitly added as a friend.
Try actually using the site before you just repeat the same tired phrase you hear over and over.
Facebook places is only for iPhone and phones that support W3 geolocation, and only available via native application or touch.facebook.com. You also actually have to explicitly 'check in' / 'check out' of places.
Only half correct. You state that the metaphorical 'you' has to explicitly have to 'check in' to places, but you're friends have the ability to check you into places by default. "Out having coffee with @w0mprat, having a great convo about privacy, could last hours"
from blog.facebook.com.... "When your friends check you in, it is as if you have checked in at that place yourself. You also will appear checked-in to your friends."
Because not all scanners are directly plugged into user computers with a software interface. I have a large office MFP that scans into network shares and with this little server running I can have it watch that share and fix up my PDF's real nice for the users, rather than installing something on everyones computers.
I bet Miami-Dade PD is going to have to throw up some decent PR on this one.
Doubtful it would even make it to the general public. Seeing how this place is an absolute cesspool of crime that fills the news and the fact that the MD-PD isn't much better than the "criminals", an incident like this wont even make it to the ticker going along the bottom of the 11'oclock news.
Different PIN in this case. This is the pin to unlock the phone for usage, not unlock the SIM for access (of which I don't even think you can set on an iPhone)
Slashdot Mirror
Do you or anyone have a link talking about the MI accent being the most understandable? My wife is from MI and I'm curious to read about it.
Well...they actualy do use XMPP, just with some junk added on to make it work more reliably in their enviroment.

Well, it's my understanding that MHL (on the newer Android phones) already has specs for all of that.
You should learn to shotgun your beers, unless of course it was a Gunnies and if that's the case you should have spent two minutes pouring it.
Shit. I spelt Guinness wrong...here come the drunk spelling nazis.
Took about 45 seconds to find on Google. Most of the time was spent opening the beer can.

Not everywhere, dumbass.
Where can I download the data? >__>

I'm not usually the one to post these types of 'fix it yourself' OSS comments...
Download the source
