Our company buys quite a bit of transit from Cogent, and Sprint's looking glass sites are showing a complete partition between the two. Also, Cogent has offered free 100Mbit connectivity to any on-net Sprint customers until the issue is resolved.
Their business doesn't make more than 250K/yr, it has revenue greater then 250K/yr. You don't get taxes on revenue. Only profit, business or personal (unless you're a C corp, that's a whole 'nother can of worms).
I'm aware of both details. I'm saying that I don't mind being taxed marginally more if I pay myself more than $250K/year. I'm not taxed on revenue, only on business profit or personal income.
Maybe 23andme (genetics company run by a girlfriend of one of the Google founders; also funded by Google) should get on figuring out the cause of that.
There in lies the trick. If you're the one providing the data, you don't block on IP, you kick off in realtime those who are exceeding soft query limits only known to you (and not made public).
I just wanted to add to my previous reply. You said the world is organized pretty well already. Really?? Seriously? Get a clue. People die every day due to a lack of healthcare. Corporate welfare runs rampant. You do know a government is in place for the benefit of the people, right. You call them entitlements. I call them the safety nets citizens of a society have come to expect (unemployment, social security, and yes universal healthcare).
I'm indeed an S corp. Read Artifakt's reply to you, our accountant handles things pretty much as he has described, hence we have a much lower tax liability than if were a C corp.
The best part about a democracy is you get your opinion and I get mine. We'll see who wins on the 4th. Best of luck to your viewpoint, but I think there are far more people who are tired of getting fucked then those who make 11 bucks an hour and prefer your view of things.
I'm a small business owner, and while we do well over $250K/year in revenue, I don't make more then $100K/yr. I don't believe I should be paid any more then my highest paid employee. Let's assume though that I did take more than $250K out of the business a year (which is what you'd have to do to hit the $250K limit Obama talks about). I have no problem with a higher tax rate kicking in above $250K/yr of my income, as long as the money is spent properly (i.e. NOT on bailouts, wars, etc).
If your employees' productivity will tank by giving them an Xbox, you have poor employees who can't manage their time (and probably are already producing poorly).
Handcrank with seal that connects to gear assembly within box containing vacuum and tape. Turning the crank in one direction applies tape to surface, turning in the other direction pulls tape off generating x-rays (imagine a ratchet and how you can change rotation using switch on head).
Having that much space in so many servers (1TB drives, assuming hundreds to thousands of servers) just screams for licensing the software Amazon uses for S3. You would then be able to efficiently use all of that available disk, while having the low level management functions handled by whatever S3 uses to manage IOAPI.
It'll be a while till ZFS makes it into the Linux kernel, considering the licensing is currently incompatible with the GPL. *sigh* I wish ZFS would make it to Linux faster.
It appears a typical nuclear power plant size is around 1000-1200MW. So, you're correct, it's about 8 plants worth of power. Taking into capital costs, fuel costs, people costs, etc. I think it's worth it to save those 8000MWh/year if the manufacturer of devices is integrating power saving features directly into the product.

Net neutrality can't force tier1/2 network carriers to peer.

Ahh, we'll have to call that "Mendel's Revenge"
But the kids that are born.... I wouldn't want to compete with them to get into a college.

Living free doesn't mean taking everything you can without contributing back. If you feel that way, go live on a remote mountain.

Try using smtp.com. Some of our clients run big apps in EC2 and then send the email out through smtp.com servers they contract for.

As Stephen Colbert would say, "PATENT PLEASE!"
True, but their storage system is many times more reliable than your way....

I actually just saw a 128GB SSD on pricewatch for $400, which isn't a horrible price IMHO. Yea for price drops on advancing technologies!
You could always pay Flickr $25/year to upload unlimited photos them them.
On pricewatch.com, 1TB sata drives dropped under $100 the other day. Woohoo!
We use Amazon S3 in production storing close to 100TB of data, and it works like a god damn champ. YMMV.
What's the energy efficiency rating of your AC compressor? If it's low, perhaps consider getting a more efficient unit if payback is fast enough.
