Dell also bought Compellent (iSCSI, FC, etc.) and has their own MD series (DAS, iSCSI, FC). EqualLogic has it's own niche, but I'm not fond of that brand yet) as it's expensive to scale, but I'm sure makes sense in some cases.
With EMC introducing VNX they're directly competing with each other in many spaces.
We have several of the products I mentioned and they've perform very well.
Full disclosure: The place I work for is an EMC and Dell (and HP and NetApp) partner/reseller/integrator...
Under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debtors assets are liquidated. I think you meant Chapter 11 or 13 where debt is *reorganized* and the debtor still pays all of some of it back at reduced (sometimes greatly) terms.
Bankruptcy laws were changed drastically in 2005 by lobbying from banks and other debt owners and there are now means tests and many other barriers to "erasing debt." IANL, but for an individual, I don't even think it's possible in the US.
This is only a small part of it. The biggest cost of doing business for almost all business is labor. Labor is cheaper elsewhere, that's why companies go there. Very, very few decisions about where companies are going to set up shop, move jobs, etc. are made with taxes as a deciding factor.
Agreed, agreed. We support mail servers for many companies on, idk, maybe a dozen ISPs and a few data centers. Bottom line, you have to be persistent. Someone (probably with DNS admin in their title) can do it if you ask nicely:)
Look, we're in a debt crisis and cuts must be made, everyone agrees about that.
No, not everyone agrees on that.
Noble prize winning economists such as Robert Reich and Paul Krugman, our current fed chairman the Secretary of the Treasury and many others in congress and even some of the leadership of the current administration do not agree with that. Their point is that we need to increase government spending (think Milton Friedman-style... of Reagan fame...) to stop the snowball effect we're in and increase revenues to pay down our debt. Some have stopped short of saying we need (except for Krugman) a Keynesian-style approach, but it's basically what they're saying.
There are many facts to discuss here, but the point is lots of the people that do this for a living who's life's work depend on this do not agree. So please do not say everyone agrees.
Putting aside a lot of the points here. I think there are several questions we should ask ourselves about allowing private companies to do as they will with limited natural resources (not just oil). I'm a capitalist, but there's more at play here than just economics.
- Is it fair that only a few benefit greatly financially when the natural resource is limited and comes from the land that we all live on while the rest of us have to pay to those few? Not suggesting we socialize this, but certainly there is a fairer way than to allow a few people to make the largest profits on earth.
- Is it in our country's best interest to allow those few to sell our limited resources overseas for their own financial gain? What if we need it later, even if later is 100 years from now?
- Is the idea of socializing risk and privatizing profits something we should do with limited resources?
Can you give a few examples? Now, we already know that (for the most part).NET applications can't be run on non-Windows computers, but they sure can communicate using open standards with most of the major standards out there.
It's not just the DOJ your local and state authorities can get (w/o a warrant or you knowing) your email envelope and cell phone data (location and call records) with a simple phone call or by logging into a website. See DEFCON 18: Your ISP and the Government: Best Friends Forever 1/3.
Not only do they not delete it, they are *required* by law to keep it for a certain length of time. See my post about DEFCON 18: Your ISP and the Government: Best Friends Forever 1/3.
If you haven't seen it, the DEFCON 18 talk about this it is WELL worth it. They specifically talk about Google and how easy it is for local and state officials (forget the NSA and feds for a momenet) to get email envelope information and cell phone records w/o a warrant:
One of the most chilling things in my book is they show that when a crime happens, one of the first things some local police do is get (w/o a warrant...) the records of whose cell phones were near the crime.
They start at $499. However, I couldn't get out of the store w/o spending I think $850 when all is said and done. Mine's been sitting unused on my credenza for like two weeks...
The reason why it's dumb should be obvious: they're trying to port a program with an input that's 99% keystrokes over to a device that has no keyboard.
I wish I had mod points!
Agreed on this one, tablets (at least the one's I've worked on) are not for authoring novels or creating spreadsheets. You can take a look at them and so forth, but, at least for now, they're constrained by their form factor.

Yep, I have code comments with 2001 and 2002 dates in them... sigh.

The fact that Google stopped offering the Google toolbar for FF has me wondering similar things.

Metrology is the science of measurement. I think you're confusing it with meteorology.
Citation please, I've never heard this explanation.
What did you replace it with?
the movie Idiocracy was a very perfect prediction of what this country is turning into
Could not agree more.

Moral of the story is to familiarize yourself with the laws in your state.
Here's some anecdotal evidence to disprove your anecdotal evidence.
