    cause the store .. is you know .. there in New York. and amazon is like in the cloud man. so yeah you there in a physical store paying sales tax makes sense. order a widget from a website, that has no store physically in NY, has no warehouse in NY, the only time they physically enter NY is by fedex with your widget.

    except have you seen any of hearings regading sthe "so-called" charities? Not only did they use the IRS, but the ATF, FBI, any any other agency they could to survail these people. Say what you will about the "tea-party" type non-profits, the way it was handled was just wrong. either shit or get of the pot. They left these people in Limbo for years.

    Man Visual Manufacturing is a Beast. the last upgrade we aided with, cost the company somewhere around $4000. This was for a minor point release, not even the quarterly Service pack type release. It has a terrible instal procedure. is not centrally manageable. Compared to E2, night and day.

    came here to say something like this. some "master" cable sort of liek thunderbolt that would be data, power, kvm, networking everything all in one, and easy for a robot to undo. possibly something optical + power cable. whatever , just something to make essentially a normal server hot-swappable.sure a human can disconnect a dead Hp server and replace it with a new Dell, but a robot might have a hard time with the network jacks moved slightly etc.

    When i was in the USMC, i worked for a time in the "Aviation Information Systems Department". One of the things we handled were System V 486 servers.

( ONLY place to get what we needed).

  18. Re:As anal as France is.... on France Demands Skype Register As a Telco · · Score: 1

    This is wrong on so many levels. On the physical level, you have what person a, internet, computer-like-device, and skype, person b, presumably with just a phone. Person b's phone connection is already regulated (presumably) and has no bearing. what would you regular related to person a, their computer, their internet? And no "Skype" is not really an answer, for person a it is acting like any other software, webex, yahoo!, AIM, IRC. So we move up a little bit. They are acting like a phone company, so should have to be regulated like one. As much as I hate to, in this sense they are like PAYPAL. Is PAYPAL regulated? NO. What about email? it acts like letters, those have regulations, tax etc... should email require a digital postage stamp of some sort? This is the wrong approach all the way around.
