Or you do it the right way. Raised floor in the room housing the servers and absolutely no terminations under the floor, cabling is ok, but no terminations.
I'm up here in RI and honestly all I see us getting is a little rain with some wind. We did have a hell of a T-storm earlier this summer that ripped a few trees up, and I don't expect this to be much worse to be honest.
There have been numerous studies that prove the cost to send texts between networks is negligible at best. Significantly lower than the 10 cents per text that at&t was charging, or the 20 cents a minute they want to charge. It hasn't gotten more expensive to carry the traffic, in essence with the march of technology it has gotten LESS expensive over time.
Basically texting takes advantage of the pre existing data channel. It was there when cell phones first started, and is still there in one form or another today. And we have paid for it over and over again.
I live south of Massachusetts, in Rhode Island. Fortunately our wiretap law only require ONE party to know it's being recorded and doesn't specify which party. So I can record to my hearts content without fear of SLAP style suits by police officers.
And RI has Castle Doctrine while MA has duty to retreat. As fucked up as RI is, at least we get SOME things right.
Ok, you must have a profitable company if the BSA is actually coming at you.
I know because a former employer of mine was using tons of unlicensed software despite the advice of both myself and the company controller warning him that it wasn't right.
So I dropped the dime to the BSA. Know what they told me? The company wasn't healthy enough financially to bother going after. So start hiding assets.
Not to mention the LCD TV is mostly glass anyhow, which is kind of fascinating.
But they're only going to get thinner as time goes on. To the point where it'll be a sheet 1 mm in thickness. The power supply will be the biggest piece of the unit.
Of course I have. Worked in state government for five years. Helped beat up a number of vendors who thought they could overcharge because it was the state.
Since government contracts out to lowest bidder, or allegedly so. When costs are pared to the bone there's no way you're going to put processes in place to monitor the manufacturing process for something as complex as a satellite.
I downloaded and installed it. I note on some sites Firefox simply freezes up for a good couple of minutes and then proceeds to load the page correctly.
It does work with the things I really need but as I said, I don't think it's ready for public consumption yet.
Part of the problem with GPS units is that they charge almost as much for map updates as they do for the GPS unit itself. In my case my TomTom cost $99 and the map updates are $84.
The other problem is even the map updates are frequently best guesses.
And rental companies are notorious for issuing un-updated GPS units. Back a couple of years ago, I flew into Norfolk, VA and rented a car. The GPS unit wasn't aware that they'd moved U.S. 17 so much of the time it showed the car as driving over water. I just followed the signs for 17.
And more recently coming home from North Carolina my TomTom was trying to tell me to get off I-95. I finally shut little Miss Navigator off and we got home just fine without her.
First power company executives were gibbering about all the new revenue. Well, part of what we pay in electric rates today is the distribution side so they damn well better start upgrading the transformers and everything else.
Luckily I have 480V going by where I live so that would make charging an electric vehicle much faster.
The little fact that the power to tax interstate commerce is the exclusive domain of the FEDERAL government. Not the states. That's why Amazon can skirt most state use tax laws.
I live in a state that requires me to report anything I bought outside the state or online via a USE tax. I'm waiting for someone to buy something but never use it and let the state prosecute. them. I bet that stupid voluntary use tax would be dropped post haste.
Systems engineer here. Don't sweat it even if I am on call during this week. I've been at the company for five months and gotten exactly ONE call when I was on call. One!
I'm told it's a serious aberration and that it'd be seriously high volume if we got more than one call per YEAR.
Google's Market Cap is currently at $199.88 Billion dollars. ABC is $86.45 Billion, CBS is $39.7 Million, and NBC is for all practical purposes a part of GE so they're not a target.
You could well see a Google takeover of ABC and CBS. That would be interesting.
Right on! I'd even be willing to pay a modest fee per month along with my net connection that lets me download all the music and video I want. Say $5. The universe of broadband subscribers in the U.S. is 66,213,257. That would be a money grab of $331,066,285 per year for the likes of RIAA and MPAA.
RIAA alone makes $1.03 billion a year on digital downloads, and more than that on physical CD's. It's time they paid the piper.
Thanks for reminding me about that one. But as in all science, one needs to be able to replicate the experiment so what I proposed is a different way to do the same thing.

I live approximately 100 feet above sea level so I'm relatively safe.

900ma at 5V, using a standard power(W) = Current(I) time Voltage (V) w=iv. 900ma = .9A *5V = 4.5W
It appears they do. And yes, all of it is a massive scam.

One brush was in law enforcement, the other in state. So the contracts were for things like criminal info systems, etc.
Of course I have. Worked in state government for five years. Helped beat up a number of vendors who thought they could overcharge because it was the state.

Not to mention the business cycle of upgrades is 3 to 5 years. This could spell a bad time for the likes of HP, Dell and Lenovo to name a few.
Great quote! That movie was a trip. And how they used the flying laser was priceless.
A Real Genius moment here. Why would the U.S. Navy need a LASED stream of electrons that can cut through 20 feet of steel?
I was thinking that exact same thing. The most recent remake of I Am Legend used just such a premise.
But this got me to thinking, not only would this work against the flu virus it would probably work against herpes, HIV, etc.

I was rather miffed when ABC canned Defying Gravity. That was actually pretty good. Now we're left with a hanging ending thanks to those bastards.
