  1. Anybody mentioned the $200 million? on NPR & The Modern Media Distribution · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I didn't notice it in the main posts, but McDonald's Corp.'s founder's wife Joan Kroc left NPR $200 million back in 2003. AND NPR has practically shifted to an all-sponsorship model. You can't hear more than 10 minutes of radio during drive-time without hearing a thinly veiled ad. But it's the best thing going. Here's a NYTIMES article that explains what NPR's management is going through right now http://www.freepress.net/news/14516/ From this article, it looks like NPR is doing pretty well for itself.

  2. Re:Makes me wonder.. on King Kong Lived? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say this is a gorilla-marketing ploy on behalf of the studios. More likely, it's a way for a no-name university to cash in on the movie hype.

  3. Re:Pity it's $250 for a peek on New Data Center Standard · · Score: 1

    I've got the table of contents if you want a look. It's pretty much hardware based and heavy on the facilities side. Drop me an e-mail and I'll send you the .pdf TIA sent me.

  4. Re:DC power datacentres on Green buildings, Green Server Farms? · · Score: 1

    Some people still make them. A company called Rackable is pretty big into it. I wrote an article on it last week.

  5. Encryption expensive? on Ameritrade Customer Data Lost · · Score: 1
    One of these responses said that encryption is expensive, but from what I've heard it's really not. PKWare http://http//search390.techtarget.com/originalCont ent/0,289142,sid10_gci1079886,00.html recently came out with compression/encryption software that I'm sure it costs less than the lost business does.

    Security analyst, Kevin Beaver: All that's needed is just basic security policies, procedures, and common sense safeguards. This is a level of security that far too many organizations have trouble attaining - if the average organization could just implement the basics, that is, reasonable security measures proportionate to the importance of the data and its associated risks - that's often more than enough.

  6. Brainless on Cooler Servers or Cooler Rooms? · · Score: 1

    Funny thing, when I posted this story, I'd posted the "track changes" version. So basically, my most-read story so far was full of typos.
