Wow, makes me feel good working there!
But then, I've never seen EMC act as a patent troll, we've generally use patents defensively.
No, this is not flame bait, but if you have a counter example, I'd love to hear it.
I will see your shenanigans and raise you 1 Bullshit. There's always some "expert" out there that can predict the future. Expert, Ex-spurt, Ex - someone who used to be something significant but is no longer. Spurt - drip under pressure.
I call your bullshit, but I don't have enough chips, I guess I'm all in.
I probably should have said something more insightful like, hmm, I didn't know facebook and google didn't work on mobile devices,
oh, wait, they do
In fact, I probably use google maps more on my iphone than on my desktop.
I agree, the middlemen is not only unnecessary but are making life more difficult and trying to justify their existence.
I want to want shows when I want them without commercials and I'm willing to pay for that.
I have a DVR on Cox Cable and Netflix on my PS3. Shows that are on HBO and Showtime are available the next day on HBO and Showtime HD indemand so I don't bother recording them. I only use the DVR for broadcast shows that include commercials.
The basic problem is this, broadcast television is an anachronism that hasn't died yet but will soon.
The technology vendors(Google, Apple, Netflix, Hulu, etc ) are lining up to deliver a good content experience because the broadcaster (CBS,NBC,ABC, FOX, etc) haven't done it.
A 9 megaton bomb would not end all life on this planet, nor would 100 of such weapons. Not even 1000.
1000 wouldn't even end all human life, which is probably what you meant.
More Bullshit! No matter how cheap your cable was, an S-Video cable never bled red into the rest of the image.
The morons at Best Buy are just trying to get you to spend more money, don't go and try to find some logic for what they're doing!
Strange but true, I make over $200K/year writing software.
I write amazing software but still smoke(vaporize) occasionally.
Don't blame me, I'm a child of the 60's
>That is scary as hell. You didn't know the drive failed??? Why?? How the heck did they know? Do you really provide them access to your data 24/7?? That's crazy!
No moron, high end disk arrays "phone home" either by dedicated phone line or email when a disk failure occurs.
The disk array immediately starts rebuilding a RAID set using a hot spare.
The disk you receive in the mail or from an on-site call is to replace the failed drive.
They don't need access to your data, just the status of the array subsystem.
>The biggest argument against the large storage companies, is that large, dynamic companies don't use them. Amazon doesn't. Google doesn't. Facebook doesn't.
The only company in your list that doesn't use a large storage company is Google.
Most companies don't have the in-house expertise to keep trace of their data.
They out source a lot of the work so they can concentrate on their core business.
Fuck Jesus.
Fuck God.
Fuck the Virgin Mary....A Virgin, I mean who are we kidding, what you say if you were doing it with the stable boy ?.
Fuck them all.
Damn all the saints and Angels to hell.
I hear there old Lucifer is there anyway.
There, now if I go to Ireland they can collect and get out of their financial crisis.
Is this really all it takes to get people excited, to cause problems?
Don't we have real problems in the world?
Global Warming/Cooling(depends who you talk to).
Pollution.
Low sperm count in most males and declining faster than the U.S. real estate market.
Yes, the movie "Children of Men" may not be as far in the future as you think.
On going wars to fatten Halliburton's pockets and do little else but maim.
Does Ireland not want to be taken seriously as a country?

Film is dead!
Give it up people and move on.
Do you also stay up late worrying about the buggy whip manufactures that went out of business when cars started selling?
Your attitude, that people in Afghanistan don't deserve human rights because they live in a nation which isn't "developed", is paternalistic. That's a fancy social science term which means you think you are superior to people around the world because you happen to have been born in a place where indoor plumbing is commonplace. You are not superior, and in fact, you are also wrong, although those two factoids might not be related.
Before you go around demanding that other people define terms for you, consider reading more.
It's not a case of reading more.
I believe any culture that condemns the passage of information is not one worth preserving. I fully support repurposing their protein into something more useful like cattle feed.
Also, indoor plumbing should not be underrated.
And yes, I mean kill them all and take their land.
You went and got a BS in Computer Science, but don't know or care to write software. I want to know school you went to so we never hire anyone from there.

I strongly disagree. This is more than a nuisance. This is destroying the potential of the Internet. It's wasting peoples lives. If guy were doing the same door to door he would have been dead long ago. Next time, I hope they leave a DVD of the torture and televise it.
Or as a previous post said
-A truly just punishment would be to torture him continuously.
I'll go with that.
How many hundreds of hours have I spent fixing a family members' computer? Removing the Spam, the Spyware and so on. People doing this are criminals, they don't deserve to live.

So write your congress critter now and tell them to scrap software patents!
Who knew that the purchase of NBC by Kabletown was really Comcast! Life imitates art.

Hey!, I'll volunteer.
In today's economy, a job is a job
Maybe if this, working for the gambling industry, is your concern, you don't really need a job.

I have news for you. The high end boxes from EMC, NetApp and the like have silent data corruption too!

Finally, my pastime is vindicated!
Since, there are lots of people who have the degree, I think that you will be in bad shape to compete against them.
How about no spoofing as a good start. No changeable MAC addresses and Client side certs.
