    i'm very very confident that a CPA didn't try to do that as a Sole Proprietorship

    look up the difference between:

    Sole Proprietorship
    Corporation
    "S" Corp
    Limited Partnership (L.P.)
    Limited Liability Company (LLC)

    it's simple - rent a cement mixer and wire snips - start with pouring it over everything until it is fully encased - then go around with the wire snips and cut any communication cables coming out of the system..

    both can be measured by the number of people who had access to it.

    more people have access to the net today than they did 15-20 years ago and there fore facebook has a larger pool of potential users than geocities.

    both are on the same scale and can be compared when you think of them as user base as a % of possible user base.

    market % yes and scale yes..

    if you look at the number of users vs the possible pool + the tech available then and now and the size of the companies.. yea they where the same scale then as face book is now..

  19. Re:Reeeaaal smart on Answers.com Now Only With Facebook and Own Login · · Score: 2

    To be fair Geocities was on the same scale as facebook at one point (for people who did use the net not in general society). And they could have stayed around a lot longer but they died due to how they handled their community. if Facebook started charging $ per post and a monthly login fee i'm sure it would die extremely quickly.

    yes Geocities did have some ad revenue - but companies where not paying for web marketing at the time and the potential funds to tap into for that was much smaller relative to userbase than it is now for facebook.

    random but if they are using a micro cell to grab calls and route them - if the usage info doesn't make it back to the telcom for billing then they are committing fraud against the telcom company.

    I fully agree.

    As for the D's that would jump ship for greener grass, you can normally see their pattern on their job history, and we do a fairly good job of weeding them out. Our average turn over is ~10 years.

    i fully agree - but when you task someone with this I've found there are four types of people..

    A) want to argue why they shouldn't have to do it or make excuses why they can't
    B) flat out can't do it and stare at it blankly
    C) will try and either progress or struggle
    D) have zero issue with it.

    C i'm willing to teach/help and see if they have the ability (i mention that they can ask any questions as i'm there to help, some will some won't) - D is optimal - A & B i don't want as they flat out it won't workout here.

    i fully agree with you - the hardware is the same, and it is all in the firmware.. problem is there is nothing we can do about that.

    To get the firmware that we need to do the job correctly we can't purchase consumer ATA drives and expect them to work without issues in an enterprise environment.

    The People that argue that the enterprise markup is a waste of money and just get consumer drives are wrong - it is a scam yes but one you can't avoid at the current moment and there for isn't a waste as the markup you pay up front reduces your risk and costs later.
