Internal invoicing is necessary to track the true operating cost of each department. You're correct though that $30 is a meaningless number unless we know what's included. It could be that all IT services are lumped into that single number as a means of simplifying the billing structure. Unfortunately that approach would tend to overcharge certain departments that tend to have a higher GB/user ratio.
The ten seconds a prospective customer looks at it before the sale is given million times more weight that the several hundred hours the actual customer spends staring at it after the sale.
Most of the focus on rural access is because of the politics of the Senate. Fact is: even though the majority of the US population lives in urban/suburban areas, the majority of the voting constituencies of enough senators live in rural areas to make getting anything through the Senate require making them a priority.
That said, I've lived in rural areas. I hated it. When you live in the middle of nowhere everything is less convenient: no garbage collection (you can't even pay for it); the nearest grocery store, ambulance, fire truck, etc. is at least 1/2hr away; every cell phone network sucks; your options for internet access are limited (usually satellite, bad as it is, is the best); and, you run the risk of being shot in the head by a stray bullet that was intended for Bambi's mother. So what did I do? I moved!!! I didn't complain to my senator or the FCC. I didn't lobby for federal grants to be issued so that my fellow taxpayers could cover the $50k per household necessary to get the infrastructure in place and fiber dragged to my front door. I moved!!!...to a city, where I can have the modern conveniences that are an important part of my life.
So to all of my fellow slashdotters reading this over the teletype at the general store, I say unto you: If you want all of the conveniences that we have here in the 'big city' then either move or pay for it yourself. Either way, shut up and get off my stoop!
The author of TFA should have RTFS(tudy). From page 19 of the PDF:
In 2008, technical women earned an average salary of $70,370.21 Over the same time period, men’s salaries averaged $80,357. Consequently, the gender gap widened to 12.43 percent, a slight increase from 11.9 percent the previous year and nearly a 3 percent increase from 2006 when the gap was at 9.7 percent. The good news is that this gap disappears when controlling for comparable levels of experience, education, and job title. While this is encouraging news for women who manage to advance in their careers, it does not account for the barriers and biases that prevent many women from advancing to these levels.
Fees which they'll never be able to collect. Winning an award doesn't magically make the money appear. Forcing the woman into bankruptcy would be a PR disaster. This is why big companies so often settle, it's usually cheaper and results in less of a PR hit; although, it does encourage the other trolls.
RTFS all the way to the end people. We've finally discovered the mechanism of our demise. The Mayans accurately predicted the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space.
Tongue or not, I consider it as a serious jab against TigerDirect. TigerDirect is quite reliable: I buy all my stuff on it and I never had a problem. In turn it was recommended to me by a technician who fixes computer hardware.

If Prince wants his advance without having to worry about all those numbers then this is what he gets.
Basically, they get all of the disadvantages of open source security, but none of the advantages.
There are NO disadvantages to open source security! Take that back, you big meanie!

Tell me again how twitter is so different from the mainstream media.
There is an extension that automatically converts links to PDFs into links to the viewer version. It also handles PPT and "other documents".

What could possibly go wrong?
Just because we have consciousness does not mean we get to proclaim ourselves superior to and ungoverned by nature.
Actually, it does. It just doesn't make it true.
If ACTA were open source this recursive bug would never have made it to a stable release.
