It shouldn't have to transcode. The client should just decide and play. Worked great on my boxee box and works great now on my OpenELEC box. Way better than plex or DLNA every have for me, and I see all my files not just an arbitrary subset like with plex.
I mostly see gay men, middle-aged women, and low-wage Hispanics. Once I tried to get two younger women at a clothing dept to help me pick out date clothes after my divorce, and could barely get the time of day from them.
My son came two days before I turned 43. I bought a video camera and later a DSLR as my G10 P&S wasn't cutting it. Then iPhone photos improved. I haven't captured anything with the camcorder in several years, I break out the DSLR infrequently because of the weight and the degree to which it hampers me chasing after my rugrat. I do get awesome shots of him when I can get him to look at me.
I've come to realize that he'll never value any of the images; they're for my wife, me, and our relatives. Who will care increasingly less as he gets older. When my wife and I die, nobody will give a shit about any of it.
Photos aren't valued by families like they used to, now that everyone can take them with their phone. Quality, sharpness, color, DoF all don't compare, but the convenience of *always* having a Facebook-quality camera with you is invaluable.
If capturing truly high-quality photos is important to you, if photography and processing themselves appeal as a hobby, then there's value in real photo gear.
For casual daily look-at-my-cute-kid posts to Facebook, a decent phone cam is fine.
The P&S gap between the two is pretty much gone unless someone values the inexpensive pseudo-macro experience of a small-sensor P&S.
For storing data, it comes down to two things:
1) Realize that the more you keep, the less likely you'll ever view any again. Even with collections and metadata in Lightroom, tens of thousands of photos become a haystack and your catalog becomes write-only. If you take hundreds of shots each month, plan for several hours to cull 98+%. This cuts your storage needs dramatically, but in 2015 storage on this scale is cheap, even with raw files (*) $150 gets you all you'll ever need.
2) Back up remotely and automatically. Dick around with cron jobs and syncing to your dad's DSL-sporting 80386 box if you don't value work, sleep, and family time. If you do, pay CrashPlan (or Backblaze if you must) what's really a reasonable fee, and have it back up the whole collection incrementally and automatically.
Last month the disk with my media files on it stopped spinning up. Oh Noes! It took two weeks, but I got it all back from Crashplan.
* not RAW, it's not acronym. Uppercase it and I'll have to slap you, explain why "resolution" doesn't mean what you think it means, then slap you again.
Huh?
iLO implements IPMI just like any other BMC. iLO also doesn't cost money, though as of a couple of years ago some functionality -- mostly fluff -- required a for-pay license. Not much different from anyone else's and I don't remember having to pay to get firmware components.
I stopped buying Soracle gear some years ago, but recall that they had also restricted access to firmware updates.
That said, HP has always been known for nickle/diming -- this parody has been around for ~30 years:

I’ve never worked a single weekend when I didn’t want to. No one tells me to work nights
He's an executive, right? Of course he does as he damned well pleases. What about the people who do the actual work? I’ve never seen anyone cry.
Either they're too afraid of him to let him see them do it, or you never see him at all.
A former boss of mine is now an exec at Amazon. Treated people like machines back then, so I can see why she succeeded so well there.
My current boss is an interesting contrast, he has explicitly told people to not work nights and weekends unless on-call or there's a truly exceptional situation.
Netflix jobs are all in the silly valley, where > abject poverty means > 150k/year. In practice this benefit won't get exercised much because the only people with families who can afford to live there are a handful of execs.

Not to mention the pathetic electrical system and bizarre design like fuel fill on the wrong side.
Going by the clouds of soot still spewed by trucks, nothing has changed.
If they think "Labor" has a u in it, little surprise they believe homeopathy

Isn't this what sandbag guns are for?

In what context, in any country, do programmers work together in the first place? All I've ever seen is rivalry, competition, and stack ranking.
Oh get real, this is China not Japan!
Raw is still a word, not an acronym. Stop shouting at us.

I wince every time I see "bacteria" used instead of "bacterium". It's as bad as "reiterate".
Hope springs eternal.

Spending hundreds on some oddball phone to use a couple times a year just for data is silly. Just go to Starbucks and leech wifi.
Or a touchy component that starts out outdated, will break readily, and cost $2000 to fix.
And at what, $500/mo?
Agreed, there's no justification for something like that. Most business travel is unnecessary, and most stuff can in reality wait a few hours.
Can't believe nobody posted this yet:

It's happened to me too, lots of times over the years. I'd typically take comp time the next day.

And hundreds of these airframes will be flying for how many more decades? Dumbass summary.
Or the OP who seems to have written "re-iterate" with a straight face.
Indeed, dilute HF is what's used to etch bathtubs for refinishing.
Given the way they treated me when my AP broke, I shed no tears for them. I recycled the cheap frisbee and bought an ASUS.
