You know, I find that completely over-the-top.

If the story is accurate, then what's the point of exposing the poor sod's name?

What purpose does that serve? The guy's obviously had a rough week; why pile on and make it worse?

It's likely that he's going to be terminated (from his employment, not physically), if he hasn't been already. I'm sure there's some "handling company materials" guideline or somesuch on the books at Apple that will be enforced.

So why expose him publicly?

I don't get it. This just seems like nonsense to me.

Thank you for backing me up. This was absolutely a problem, and I spent many, many, many nights with the engineers replacing the "bad" CPUs with Sombra modules. p/n 501-6009's.... over a thousand of 'em.

The "cosmic rays" thing sounds like a joke, but the Sun engineers really explained it well (once they admitted something was going on) - it makes perfect sense and described the problem to a T.

Sounds a whole lot like the e-cache parity errors in the Sun UltraSPARC-II processors.

If you were never affected by that, consider yourself a lucky person.

particle-caused bitflips are very much real.

It's still great to see the providers bootstrapping DNSSEC. We need more of them onboard before you see widespread adoption.

I have a feeling you're going to see DNSSEC explode in a big way soon .... Comcast isn't the only ISP implementing it.

Verizon will unlock your phone as well. Both my and my wife's BlackBerry Storms are unlocked. By Verizon. No different than any other subsidized phone from any other US carrier ....

.. of course, a phone with dual radios such as the BlackBerry Storm, Samsung Saga, HTC Ozone, HTC Touch Pro2, etc. will work anywhere. My BB Storm works here in the US, in Europe, in the Caribbean, just about everywhere ...

It's the other way around.

CDMA's air interface is quite efficient, actually.

So efficient, in fact, that the 3GPP's 4G standard (you know, LTE, Long-Term Evolution) is much, much more CDMA-like than TDMA-based GSM. (CDMA and LTE are both spread-spectrum technologies -- GSM/TDMA divide signals on a carrier frequency based on timing.)

Keep in mind that the cdmaOne product family is what's not being evolved any further --- the actual air interfaces developed under the CDMA banner are really the path forward. What's being 'killed off' is the TDMA-type technology that underpins GSM.

That would be Columbia. We lost Challenger just 73 seconds after she lifted off.

You realize that Banyan was "collaborating" with MS on AD correct?

So much of AD is direct from Banyan... still.

That's not a knife, that's a spoon.

The cable modem they're using has a gigabit port.

If you subscribe to their BOOST service (30mbps down / 5mbps up, extra $10/month), then you can open ports 80 & 25.

No, they're not, the capping went the way of the dodo several years ago.

5-6 years ago is a long time - no more caps. Even on the BOOST (30mbps down/5mbps up) service.

Obviously you don't live in a Cablevision territory, otherwise you'd know that they absolutely DO deliver what they claim.

Corning's bendable fiber. There ya go.
