Even if the Per GB price dropped by 80 or 90% SSD's would still be more expensive and have a lot shorter life expectancy than current HDD's, we are many many years before the possibility of SSD's fully replacing HDD's becomes even conceivable
banning people from talking to or associating with known bad influences especially during probation is hardly a new thing for courts, it is done all the time.
It is far more akin to a car lease agreement than a outright purchase. In both cases you don't actually own the product but have paid for it's use and in both cases there are provisions in the contract of lease for the leasor to take back the product (not saying I like what they are doing, but if you are gonna use the all important car analogy it is important to be accurate.)
hardly, the US is in breach of far more WTO trade regulations than just about any country with all its subsidises and import tarrifs. This is the sort of shit that happens with protectionism and will continue to happen as long as countries like the US continus to demand one thing from other countries while doing the opposite themselves
Your comparisons are hardly accurate or fair. You chose the most expensive option for subscription which included sharepoint and Exchange while completely excluding them from option 1 or 3. Realistically option 2 would be significantly cheaper if you excluded exchange and sharepoint or 1 and 3 would be many thousands of dollars higher and include additional hardware costs.
I think you have it backwards, wikipedia's biggest flawe is most definitely the community of admins and users that litterally camp on articles and pieces of information to ensure they are only protraying information as they view it. I have seen correction that remove bias or simply add more factual information constantly blatted by such people, If anything I find Wikipedia is actually going downhill with time due to the administration and editing process.
how is quoting an ITWorld news story that generalises what was actually said come down to proof of explicitly stating it? So are we now holding Microsoft to account for how journalists write their stories? If you actually go and have a look at the actual MS statement they are not explicitly stating what you say at all. They say Russia and some other unamed countries.
Shooting a movie in 3d adds significant cost to the production of the movie and hence yes 3D can really make a movie worse as cuts are taken elsewhere to provide funds to shoot in 3d, look at the complete and utter garbage that has come out in 3D so far. I am not against 3D (though I prefer 2D as the semi 3D in movies gives me headaches and the glasses are uncomfortable), just that so far hollywood is shooting blanks when it comes to 3d and you would have to be a pretty brave person to bet that any movie targetted for 3D at this stage is going to be good.
until someone can actually point to a movie that is both good and in 3D then it is you that is wearing the rose coloured glasses, the rest of us are just putting up with the reality of the utter shit that has been produced with 3d thus far.
Sadly he would get a new one. I can't stand anything apple, but to him they can do no wrong. It's a mindset I can't quite fathom of someone who apart from that is a reasonably sane person.
You may want to have a read of the patent. As usual the slashdot submission is HIGHLY misleading, this is not a broad patent for video encoding at all, rather a very specific method of hardware accelerated encoding.
sitting next to someone that is on his 3rd iphone due to screen breakage it is more how incredibly fragile they are rather than what they do with them. I saw him drop his once here at work onto the vinyl floor in the work kitchen and glass shattered, I have dropped my current HTC phone dozens of times, even on concrete a few times and besides the outer casing having a few scratches it is still perfect.
please enlighten us all where in sydney you can get such a thing? not saying your lying but I only know of plans that call themselves unlimited but actually have limits as they are shaped and I know of no truly unlimited $75 plan with any of the mainstream providers.
People don't seem to get it, you all think the government bailed out these banks because they are rich and influential. Wake up, the bailouts happened to ensure the average worker got paid the next week. if the banks went under payroll would stop, atm's would stop dishing out money (even if it is rightfully yours) and basically the entire economy would grind to a standstill. It sickens me to see all those bankers that made bad decisions get saved, but it was a NECESSARY evil.
Apple also combine all their security patches and release a single patch/advisory every few months, so that 6 is in reality at least 10 times that amount of vulnerabilities or more, from memory one of them mid year had about 30 vulnerabilities patched in it.
isolating different machines has never been a problem, the problem is that isolation is not what people are after, they want to read documents and access their apps on their portable devices, they want to use whatever they prefer external to the organisation and still have their connectivity. isolating and blocking is easy, safely permitting is the problem here.
The solution is don't do it, there is no problem or market gap where this thing is really needed.. This is a device looking to create a market out of nothing where it only barely differentiates itself from the current crop of portables.
They should be educated or punished where appropriate. This is a case of completely avoidable damage being done that only benefits criminals, damage that can be easily mitigated by ISP's taking a more active role for the benefit of everyone, included those infected.
botnets affect the entire internet ecosystem, including you whether you are secure or not. It drives up the cost of system maintence and protection measures for ISP's and mailhosts, it reduces available bandwidth and chews up valuable server/router/switch resources which can directly or indirectly affect your speed whether you are secure or not.
If it was only the insecure idiot being affected by their actions I would not give a damn, but it isn't, they affect my wallet, my speed and my general enjoyment of the internet medium.
I suppose the Linux community should be grateful that windows made the fundemental systems design error of making everything graphic. Without that basic failure, Linux might never have even got the toe-hold it has now.
windows has actually gone the other way, recent versions of the OS can be completely CLI driven to the point where now there are many tasks that can only be done via a CLI such as powershell. Just about every windows erver app nowadays is more CLI driven than GUI based, even exchange server.
Avatar is an example that proves the point, the actual movie was horrible, but the impressive use of 3D made it bareable, it was certainly NOT better than most of the popcorn crap out there, if anything it was worse.
It is allowing studios to hide really poorly written and acted scripts from kiddies that are more impressed with shiny 3d. It is now at the stage where if I see the movie is being advertised as being 3D I write it off as garbage without even bothering to see it now.
Probably Red Hat gets a perpetual free license and Acacia does not get their patent tested so they can pursue targets with fewer resources to protect themselves.
I find that outcome unlikely unless red hat found something to threaten them with. For a patent troll giving someone a free license with no court results is tantamount to defeat, they either want licensing revenue or a court result giving them precident to file more suits.

My understanding was some of the largest botnets for spam emails were actually run from the US/UK. you proposing to cut them off form the net too?
They shouldn't be, but hollywood certainly seems to be adamant that they are mutually exclusive.
