To poster: As having been an employee in salary-only positions, salary+equity positions, and now a business owner with a small (6) group of employees, let me provide you advice from my 11 years of IT experience: Run as fast as you can. No employer should ever be asking you to work with no equity and without additional compensation for 60+ hours a week.
So you're going to waste a ton of money man-rating a heavy cargo lift vehicle when you could send people up separately on a SpaceX man-rated vehicle? That's just god damn retarded.
Because I like being able to get the music in under a minute via an Amazon digital download? Why would I want to get in a car, drive to a store, hunt for the cd, and then drive home, all for what I can do in under a minute now? Physical medium for backup? Dropbox bitches!
I'm not the CEO, I'm an infrastructure wrangler who just happens to own the place and pay everyone else well while giving them a chunk of the company. But don't let that stop you from judging someone through one-dimensional Slashdot postings;)
I'm not sure how I'm complicating the network by using a basic feature of most cellular networks. T-Mobile 3G/HSPA already supports this (where I use it), as does AT&T. Only CDMA and 2/2.5G GSM networks have this problem (and those networks won't have the problem after they migrate to LTE).
Just because your business needs don't dictate people need the feature, doesn't mean it's not necessary. I value being able to use my Nexus One as a Wifi Hotspot to SSH into a box while on the phone with someone related to the problem.
Most of the time I'm on the phone *receiving* an email from someone who hasn't sent it beforehand. Very few of the calls I take are while I'm in front of a computer. So, should I park myself in an office all day? Or use technology so I can get more work done during each stretch of work period than I might otherwise be able to get done sitting in front of a computer?
Doesn't look good with clients scout. With your friends? No big deal. $200K/year contract? Not so much. Doubly so when you're on a conference call about said contract.
I should've been more clear. 1) Someone calls me, asks me for directions to get where I'm at, provides their location 2) I punch into Google Maps, and speak back to them because they either don't have a data plan or a smart phone
I have a Nexus One on T-Mobile and voice and data work together just fine, and the situation I presented as occurred before.
True. But if you're on the phone and they say "Sending you the email now", you're boned. You'll have to hang up, allow the data transmission, and then call them back.
And if there is a wifi network around, more likely I'm using a laptop and not my phone.
Want to reference an email in Gmail while on a phone call? Doesn't work. Want to look at Google Maps to give directions while you're on the phone with someone? Doesn't work. Yes, no data/voice simultaneously is a big deal.
As someone who has worked on the computing side of both the Tevatron and the LHC (CMS detector), it's time to stop pumping money into the Tevatron and let the LHC shine. Lets not let nostalgia get in the way of new science.

I'd almost compare them to sqllite files. Almost.
Nope. We use flat files for storing collider data from the LHC.
More importantly, take more precautions if you work with slaughtered pigs and cows in a meat packing facility/slaughterhouse.

So you rendezvous in orbit and transfer crew there? Still cheaper than man-rating multiple lift vehicles.
So you're going to waste a ton of money man-rating a heavy cargo lift vehicle when you could send people up separately on a SpaceX man-rated vehicle? That's just god damn retarded.
CORRECT! You don't man-rate a heavy lift vehicle.
Disposable furniture has its place. Not everything is built/meant to last forever.

Partial info? What more were you looking for?

6 people is a medium-to-large sized business now?
Started in 2006, grew extremely quick, everyone works remotely/from home.
I own a small business that does ~$12 million/year, and spend most of my time on the phone for it. I think my priorities are pretty well in order.
Not everyone is trying to play Angry Birds while on a call.
I do have friends who don't have smartphones, and I do have friends who don't have data plans because of the cost. But heh! Recessions over right?
A smartphone/data plan is not essential. #firstworldproblems.

Because, clearly, I should select my friends by income level or technology comfort level. Brilliant.
Once LTE is rolled out, no, this issue goes away.

I'm aware, I was just highlighting that I've never run into the problem, not that the problem doesn't occur.
While it's an issue with CDMA on VZW, the issue should be moot once they switch over nationwide to LTE.

I'm on a business plan, and burned *checks T-Mobile's portal* 5628 minutes last month, and almost 6GB of data. Different needs for different folks.

Fairwell Tevatron! Thanks for all the luminosity!
