I would and could move my company to OpenOffice or LibreOffice.. but the lack of a mail server/client on par with Exchange/Outlook that is significantly lower in price to justify licensing it and not just going the MS route is the the largest barrier. If we get rid of MS Office we have to replace Outlook, if we keep Outlook only we might as well just license the whole suite so that we have working integration. If we LibreOffice had a mail client that had good exchange support and was on par with Outlook then we could move to dropping MS Office and only running exchange and buying cal's. While i know there are alternatives to exchange/outlook most of the good ones are not much cheaper to license.
multi-second lag is an understatement.. depending on position around the sun the one way trip for a radio signal from Earth to Mars ranges from 4.3 min to 21 min
i did miss that - although i still think it will take some doing for SAP to coerce existing installs to move.. maybe if they do ECC7 in the next 10 years they can push their own DB with it.
that doesn't quite address his concern on how the bank knows the value at a specific position in his password that should be stored in a one way hash where you need the whole password to verify the hash.

i can sort of understand not paying.... although they have the money.. but no attribution? that's just mean, and to kids at that.

and no that's not a mess up on my end - they tell you twice that they are taking it from you and will not be paying or giving you credit for it.. (and this i for sending it in, even if you don't win anything)
i was just going off Wikipedia (yea i know - but common.. this isn't exactly important work we are doing here:) )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code#Speed_records "The fastest speed ever sent by a straight key was achieved in 1942 by Harry Turner W9YZE (d. 1992) who reached 35 WPM in a demonstration at a U.S. Army base"
which for a person's hand sounded reasonable - i honestly didn't think about trans coded in to mechanical bursts for subs
but i would be willing to argue that because you have to have a human transcode it before the machine could burst it your average input is still based on the average per operator (you would need more than one operator to feed the machine to maintain a higher rate).. and as this was a comparison on bandwidth consumed over time (with no time given - just assume over the time of the war).. i was using average speed.
ERP's are more and more relying on Oracle - i know SAP uses it almost exclusively.. sure they say they support others but in reality it is far harder to get it running well on anything but Oracle that it should just be considered what is supported.
As markets grow and products get refined - the company that is most efficient survives (ignore government driven ones on that). And ERP's are what will allow them do to it. as more ERP's move to Oracle - more companies will be moved into Oracle..
While you may say a single Oracle DB in production doesn't mean much.. it isn't about the number of instances or even the size - but the value to the company of the information it stores in that DB. In your case i'd have to ask.. what information was so valuable that it was worth setting up and MSSQL instance JUST to shadow it to make available? Oracle is working to get the FI and CO data locked up - after that other things will have to attach to it and eventually will live inside it..
looks like the record for ww2 for Morse code was 35 words per min.. split the difference (10 min to operate and 35 max) lets use average of ~23wm. 5 letters per word and average 3 bits per letter so 3*5*23= 345 bits per min per operator = 5.75 bps per operator
for 500MBs = 4,194,304,00 bps
so 500MBs is equivalent to ~729,444,174 radio operators from WW2.. which happens to be ~66x the number of people drafted for WW2.
sorry i couldn't find any stat on the number of radio operators active during WW2.. so i just deiced to run with the what it would take route.
and your still not there -- unless they are morons and everything is completely uncompressed/raw frame - but even then i don't think you would hit 500MB/s
Simple - don't fly on the mass transit passenger planes.. Private charter planes do not have to go through TSA check points.. So the real rich and government guys never even experience it..
i think the aggregators should just be fair and delist these people.. you don't want them showing your content - fine.. rather than them learning how to use robots.txt just stop crawling them completely.. i'm sure that be great for their traffic streams.
non windows boxes quoted on the upper-end was 13 with 1admin
windows boxes quoted "thousands" (assume 1000 min) with 8 admins..
13/1 = 13 1000/8 = 125
125 servers per admin vs 13 servers per admin - doesn't sound like the same work load to me.... BUT without having any idea of an infrastructure and setup and applications and load and user-base - it is impossible to make any type of assumptions to how many of one group it would take to do that of another..
attempting to do so as you did just shows that you do not know how to make that comparison.
also if your going to say something like you did that MS needed 3 times as many servers (to be honest that doesn't mean anything without details be hind it) to do the same work.. at least attempt to show some type of source to verify your claims.. especially when your trying to use the point to say that they are inefficient.
FYI the first version of this this is available for the Storage appliance versions of windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2.. if you have accesses to TechNet you can get it - it's called Single Instance Storage.. It's not a block level just a file level dedupe (not useful for VM's but great for file shares).. biggest problem i had testing it.. was due to the nature of each deduped file showing up as a junction point in the shares Shadow copies did not work reliably..
i look forward to them putting in block based dedupe.. will be interesting to see how well it plays with others
and as with most Amazon services they will be bleeding money for years to get a market share where they will then increase prices.. they have done it before and they will do it again.. also Amazon's selection is even smaller than Netflix's - its just a different selection.
something to think about is to put the head of the ground force on Antarctica.. it is a horrid nasty place to live.. but it is also protected from military incursions by a large portion of the first world

Personally i think they should only be allowed to sign off one a personal hand written copy of it.
they would have zero excuse for not knowing the content as they would have had to read it to copy it.
they would be a lot shorter and easier to understand as they would have to copy it them selves..
pork would start to disappear because people don't want to have to sit down and copy that too..

if it means removing routinely distracted drivers from the gene pool - i think this is something i can support MS on.
making us subject to the laws of a foreign coutry - without recourse.
the irony of it being the UK subject to the laws of the US is just astounding.

i don't think i'm dreaming.. i'd expect about the same as what has already happened to happen again..
And the sources will hurt badly.. i'm not suggesting they delist just he news feed.. i'm suggesting they delist them completely..
what they have now is a symbiotic relation ship.. what they are trying to do is leach more out - which causes it to be a poisons relationship..
i think the aggregators should just be fair and delist these people.. you don't want them showing your content - fine.. rather than them learning how to use robots.txt just stop crawling them completely.. i'm sure that be great for their traffic streams.
basic math..
non windows boxes quoted on the upper-end was 13 with 1admin
windows boxes quoted "thousands" (assume 1000 min) with 8 admins..
13/1 = 13
