Hyper-V is just.....wrong. Feature wise (and maybe just in in how the features are implemented) it doesn't compare to vmware. Take networking for example. In vmware it's easy as pie to setup VLAN's, VM only networks, etc. In Hyper-V it's a somewhat complicated process. The thin provisioning of hard drives by default is bad, bad, bad. Give me the option during VM build like vmware does.
Chrome is about as joe basic as you can get. Small'ish download and it starts fast (as well as renders fast) and has plenty of support for plugins if you so desire. What is there to be "weary" about? Maybe look at Opera?
How does throttling make them more money? It doesn't but it keeps the customer there and happy. "My connection is slow, oh hey I just went over my initial usage limit and I am stepped down to the next speed"
The old satellite ISP's did (do?) this. They give you a bucket of bandwidth per day. You could download at full speed until you emptied the bucket at that point it dropped to 56K (brutal). That 56K was a constant and was "filling" the bucket back up all the time. So if you drained your cap quickly, letting it sit there for a couple of hours charged it up enough to get full speed for a while.
I think this is a good solution for ISP's looking to manage their over sold pipes. Just change this to the monthly quotas that many ISP's have done and set a minimum speed that you'll hit when you exhaust your quota that isn't absolutely terrible.
Increasing the amount of bandwidth just means people will use more of it because it's there. So if it takes them 2 hours to download a movie at max speed just means it would then take them only 1 hour. They'd still be saturating the pipe.
Sorta.... you can still install from the web and then when you sync your appbrain it will show up in the list to install (same as when an update is available)
Instant Search (yes, you could add it to XP but it wasn't baked in) is a HUGE plus.
That aside, the management aspect of it in a domain environment are far and away the best thing ever. Splitting up the Pics/Vids/Docs folders was the best thing MS did in this regards. Yes, I know Vista had this too but 7 runs much better with fewer resources.
true but you pay out the ass for those devices and a smartphone costs only a fraction of that. there are a few devices that are made to stand up to the elements but they typically cost more
I do it just so I have a timeline of where I've been and what time I got there. Helps with time input when you visit 20 different locations a week and can't remember who to bill.
So do you run with every single widget on, screen at full brightness and every peripheral turned on?
I have an EVO and I get, under normal usage, 12 hours easy. If I go light on the browsing I can push that to 14 hours. My record is just over 24 hours on a single charge and that was with lite to normal usage.
It wasn't millions. They mis-stated that number and it turned out to only be a couple hundred thousand. Still a fairly large number but not as large as stated.
I would say do this too. Can't speak for iOS but on Android a youtube link fires up the youtube app and on my EVO it goes full screen. I think it is similar on the iphone too.
pfsense is legit. I've got it deployed a few places and it is great. the load balancer just works, VPN works great, creating rules on it are really similar to creating rules on a pix/asa.
Throw untangle behind it and you've got a great 1-2 defense layer for your network. I've even got this running in a virtual environment (which you'll either need a bunch of NIC's or managed switches and VLAN's for). Free HA firewall anyone?
Who modded this "insightful"? Are you kidding me? I like Linux as as much as the next guy but for a business application Microsoft Server it can't be beat for ease of management. Sure Linux may run longer without updates, have fewer security holes, etc but MS hands down has the market cornered on easy to use.

Great company. All support is local and their servers are fast. free control panel too.

You might find something reasonably priced at Swappa
I don't get the whole MMS issue. Why can't they just forward it to your gmail account?

Sounds reasonable to me

whoosh
It should. My EVO, when on WiMAX, allows me to browse and talk at the same time.

Nope, I had to read it twice before I got it
It's the only reason I clicked through

But clearly T:4 is indeed superior to The Godfather (on account of The Godfather sucks)
Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why wouldn't you setup a demo only network with dedicated bandwidth if you wanting to go down smoothly?
