There are only 1600 kiosks in operation at this point. Since the pilot program was successful, LinkNYC will finish the build out. Right now the kiosks are only in Manhatten.
Your logic makes sense for a civil trial, but I don't think it holds up to the beyond a reasonable doubt standard without evidence. Since he didn't get rid of the network logs he left behind the evidence needed to convict criminally.
If the lenders and credit agencies tell end customers what factors penalized or improved their credit score, then this credit score sabotage won't be as effective. This kind of thing does happen, so it is important to be transparent so that the issue can be easily appealed and the loan reviewed.
Yeah I totally agree with your logic behind a blanket no-formal reference policy. It saves a ton of headaches from managers who don't know the HR basics. Normally a company will only be sued for giving a good reference for a poor employee when it can be shown that the company materially lied about the employees standing. This has been shown in cases where Employer A wanted to sabotage Employer B so therefore Employer A will giving a glowing reference to his competitor about an atrocious employee.
Why is everyone so convinced it is the law? It is only the law in about half of the states. In the other states they are free to to cash you out or send you home empty handed. In his case they may not have even been required to give him PTO for the two week period.
"If you have accrued vacation days that you haven't yet used when you quit or are fired, you may be entitled to be paid for that time. About half of the 50 states have laws requiring employers to pay out an employee's unused vacation when the employment relationship ends." http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/paid-vacation-what-are-rights-33485.html
Like the parent said there is no federal law that compels a company to cash out your vacation pay. About half of the states do not require a company to cash out the vacation pay. So no, you don't know what the hell you are talking about - at least 50% of the time.
This isn't even taking account for bulk ordering or vendor contract deals. Also the preinstalled 'apps' subsidize the cost of windows.
I don't know if cost is really such a big factor, especially considering the support for linux will have a hefty price tag as well. Consider training, help desk software, FAQs and documentation, and etc when thinking of the cost of linux. The only incentive manufactures have are which versions will sell more?
Maybe the corporations could setup a controlled experiment where if you are already qualified for the job and would like to demonstrate your skills in a controlled environment they could safely take that into account. Just a thought.
You're failing to see the whole point. Stop thinking current, start thinking future (what the article is talking about btw). 5 or 10 years down the line it would be entirely possibly, and quite likely, for a company like google to put out a 50 or 100 dollar 'netbook' that boots off their servers. No need for an expensive SSD or hard drive. Need more storage? Pay 5 dollars to upgrade for an extra 20gb. Need to work on your project without access? Pop in you 512mb memory stick and boot/save from there.
I have the voyager on verizons 3g network. I love it, great phone. My friend with an iphone and i decided to test a few webpage load times, Mine with 3g, his with edge. Surprisingly they were almost completely even.
It seems as if the slower page load times on the voyager make the increased 3G speeds negligible. I did notice on my mom's new palm (verizon 3g) and my dad's blackberry world (verizon 3g) their page loads were considerably faster, probably because of the faster hardware.
Point of the story: If your mainly looking at consumer phones don't let the slower edge network stop you. Hope that helped.

whoosh
You don't know what FOSS is. Hint: It's got nothing to do with money.
FREE Open Source software? lol...
+1 ironic eh?
As a result more and more of the Internets content isn't targeted towards us anymore.
Do they make more money when we view 1 page of ads or 12? Are they catering to us or the money?
If they weren't targeting the advertisement money versus dedicated readers they could have the option of viewing 1 or 2 pages with ads instead of 12.
How is this offtopic... it's actually pretty .funny
Haha... wooosh :[. Thanks for the help though.
There are 2 aspects to the solution for getting corporate change.
1) A large user base
2) That user base requesting a feature
Nvidia, for example, has no reason to open source their drivers for windows because, quite frankly, not enough windows users care.
Maybe the corporations could setup a controlled experiment where if you are already qualified for the job and would like to demonstrate your skills in a controlled environment they could safely take that into account. Just a thought.
Whats significant about 3142?
I found this LAPA flight and this on IPv6-to-IPv4

Isn't this what most people claim they need? Stop being so short-sighted and imagine the possibilities. This author has some interesting ideas.
Oh don't be so harsh, that was at least a +2 or +3 funny...

Not fast enough to run Cat6?
