He already paid the money for Microsoft Small Business Server. He gets Exchange and an Outlook client for each machine as part of the purchase.
Since you already bought it, why aren't you using it? My company has been using Exchange 2010 for a couple years now. It has been rock solid for 40 users.
There may be reasons to avoid it in a larger organization, but in a small one, why not? Active Sync for getting email on phones and other devices has worked flawlessly for us.

Location is the Treasure Valley in Idaho, climate is pretty mild, but we are in the 100 year flood plain. The new facility will be next door to our current facility. We are in the city limits of a small town and do have hydrant access.
We do work with Titanium sometimes, which requires us to maintain Class D extinguishers. Because I am a Volunteer Fireman in a neighboring town, I happen to be a Fire Code Official for the State Fire Marshal's office. Which is why, my boss asks me for recommendations on what we are needing on the fire side too. I have already made a couple calls to alarm and sprinkler people for their recommendations.
We do some DoD work. At a minimum, I am going to request that all the doors be standardized to accept an access control system, in the future, if I can't it included in the original project. That will include conduit to support the wiring.
AC system seperate from the plant for the Server and Telecommunications Equipment room isn't something that I had thought of, but it is a great idea. I already told the boss that we might want better exhaust fans in one section because of the oil cooled machines there. They create a nice oily mists that really can gunk up equipment. It is a lot better than it used to be when we used Cam driven machines. But is still nasty.
Yeah, the non-obvious stuff is the trick here. I am trying to really future proof the infrastructure so people will find the building useful well into the future.
For farmers in my area, there are lots of young people who want to work in agriculture, but when the time comes, they don't have the Capital.
Farm prices are good, but the expense of land, irrigation equipment, tractors, planters, harvesters, make it an extremely Capital intensive kind of business.
A family farm might make enough money to employ the owner and one child. When the owner dies, they have to make the decision, do I pass the entire farm to the one child working it, or do I try and be fair and give all of the kids a share. Too many farmers try to share the property among all the kids. Then the non-farmers want the one kid who wanted to farm it buy them out, or they sell it to strangers for a quick buck.
Irrigated farmland in my area can cost $4000-$6000 per acre. 200 acre farm can be worth over $1,000,000 in land alone. Now add another million in equipment, that is a huge inheritance.
Now look at a 25 yo, who grew up on a farm/ranch. Went to College and got a degree in Agribusiness. They want to have a farm of their own, Dad is at least 10 years (or more from retiring). They are going to need $2-3 million in start up capital to buy their own farm and go into business. 20% down is at least $400k. Say they roll it into a 30 year mortgage, and they found a bank willing to front them. Most banks aren't willing to loan that kind of money to 25 year olds, but lets pretend they do get it.
Lets say they got a good deal and got 200 acres of irrigated farm land. Had the 20% down, so they financed $1.5 million, went cheap on some of the equipment and operational costs.
1st year, they are going to go no till on a center pivot irrigation system. Yield 180 bushels/acre. This year, they do good with Corn, Gross sales price is around $7.50 per bushel. Gross Sales $270,000. Costs are around $500-$600 per acre, not counting the mortgage, lets use $110,000. So this year, with good prices, he is going to clear $160,000. First year mortgage payments are about 52k at 5%, So we have an income of about $108k. Pretty nice.
2nd year, Oops can't print Corn this year. Have to let it rest, to simplify we are going to assume a 2 crop rotation with Wheat. Real crop rotation would be more complicated
So 2nd year, we plant Wheat. Costs are lower, maybe $400 per acre. Yields are lower at 70 bushel per acre, but sales price is better at $8 per bushel, so we get a 2nd year Gross of $112,000. Costs are $80,000, net is $32,000, but now we add in 2nd year mortgage payment of $50,000 and we have lost $18,000 this year.
So 2 year income is $90,000 or $45,000 per year. Not a great income when you are sitting on a $2,000,000 investment.
This is with really great crop prices right now. This is why you don't see young people buying farms anymore.
I work in a CNC Machine Shop. A robot like this would be great for unloading and reloading the Lathes for example.
I don't need it to be incredibly fast. It takes 2 or 3 minutes to run a part anyway. I just need it to be almost as fast as a person. If I can train it to pick up a blank, load it in the lathe, unload it when the cycle is complete, and stack the parts neatly in a tray, I free up a person to go complete a setup on another lathe, troubleshoot a process, complete an SPC chart, or go home and get a good nights rest while the robot runs parts for us.
This isn't Right To Work issue. It is confused with Right to Work, but it isn't the same
What you are describing is At Will Employment.
At-Will doesn't have anything to do with Right To Work. Most States recognize a Contract Exception that allows the Union and Business to negotiate to have At-Will rules not apply in a Union Shop,
I first heard about this in 2009, when I went to the Solidworks 2010 launch event in Boise.
Maybe because I am involved in the local Solidworks community, it is old news here. It was pretty fun event getting to meet the guys who did this, exam the various iterations of beaks
I am actually surprised it took this long to make it to main stream news.
What instead of true self publishing there was a new third type of service that was similar to the editing/formatting/marketing services of a publisher, but because they only deal with e-books, doesn't have to maintain the physical production/distribution systems of a traditional publisher.
They would offer the author better terms because their overhead was lower. Quality would be better than self-publishing,
Or even better, they offered their services as a fee based structure. You, as the author, still owned and controlled your book. Paid them a fee for their service, either up front, or as they occur. No waiting for royalty checks because all the money from sales comes directly to you.
The greenest solution is to own one vehicle and keep it as long as possible.
The cost of the 2nd vehicle plus the environmental costs of the production of that vehicle can not be covered by the improved fuel efficiency of that mythical vehicle.
If someone has a legitimate reason to own a pickup truck, expecting them to own another vehicle for they daily errands is not environmentally friendly.
If they didn't screen for people who actually have flown commercially since 9/11, then they got a lot of ignorant people without any experience to base their opinion
If they didn't screen for people who had flown commercially before 9/11 and then had flown after 9/11, they got a lot of people without the experience of what it used to be like vs what it is like now
It would seem to say that the owner of the WiFi, doesn't have any fiduciary responsibility to Copyright Owners to prevent Copyright Infringement by others.
This would be the correct decision. Copyright law places the full responsibility for Copyright Enforcement on the Copyright Owners.
RIIAA and MPAA were happy with this until Internet File Sharing came along and their enforcement costs went up. They are looking for one Judge to slip and give them precedence to use in other courts. They will keep trying this tactic.
We are all extremely curious and have great google fu. Of course, we are halfway through our Windows 7 rollout, so we wouldn't have put an XP image on that machine. We would have used a new Win7 image.
I am the manager and only employee in the department. Pretty easy to calculate that average (46/1)
Electric matches on the circuits take 5 milliamps to ignite them.
After the fireworks are loaded and wired up, testing is done to identify matches that aren't wired up right. Is there a chance that the testing process failed. On computer systems, it is pretty automated and happens fast. If the test resistor wasn't in the circuit properly, it might look like that.

It seems like for this much money NYC could have built a whole new 911 system from scratch alongside the old one.
Then flipped a switch to turn on the new system and turn off the old one when it was all finished.
Of course, I know nothing about how this system was designed or built, but having dealt with a few projects, sometimes there is a great deal of expense trying to "save money" by upgrading the old system.
I would be interested hearing more from your inside look at how they were trying to do this project.
But I would imagine it has to do more with docking the spaceship rather than reentry. The way they are both oriented on the same side is what makes me believe that.
Red/green lights are normally located on opposite sides of the aircraft/ship so that you can tell which direction it is going at night.
Except that the Federal Law is that their business is legal.
Google has no liability for user content. The burden is on the Copyright Holders. The Law gives the Copyright holder a mechanism for challenging a potentially infringing item, the DMCA takedown process.
It is a legal and puts the burden on the Copyright Holders to protect their Copyright. Which historically has always been true. The Government will help protect Copyright, but it was up to the holders to notify the Government of infringing conduct.
Honestly, that is where I want the burden. If your Copyright generates you so little income that it isn't worth your effort to protect it, then why should anyone else protect it for you for free?

I read an article in the past month that the US Navy was experimenting with similar technology to produce Jet Fuel

They are extracting the CO2 from the ocean because the concentration in the ocean is higher than the atmosphere.
If you are disabling software on Computers you don't own, you can be charged with a felony under the CFAA.
You are not authorized to make those changes, and by exceeding the authorization of what you can do, you have violated the law.
IANAL, but a prosecutor could have a field day with you.
I've used one of those kits on my car. In my case, it was road salt and hard water stains. Improved my headlights significantly though

This is an awesome tip and one we had completely overlooked. We already have problems with storage space, we should include options to solve that now.
