Digi-Key $3.48 and Mouser $3.49

Still could be something you can have a lot of fun with!

JAVA isn't consistent from one EJB server to another, let alone from one version to another. Anyone who has ever dealt with non-trivial sized java projects knows this and isn't going to complain about the slight implementation variances in any other language runtime.

Companies only get money from stock when they offer new shares (or sell those already in company reserves), by refusing to buy shares in these types of companies they are reducing the value of future offerings by becoming one less bidder for those shares.

Get a Moto X or Moto G on Republic and use the $10/month unlimited voice/text plan and an offline map package (Google maps can easily save an entire metro area for offline use, if you want more than that there are paid apps with full continent maps and POI databases). If you find you want to use data at some point you can switch twice a month so turn on data and get it at a prorated $25/month for just as long as you use it.

Yes, the Moto X basically never drops a call, they made the default to be very aggressive towards preferring CDMA if they detect any potential disruption on WiFi (unless you're in an area where you know you have poor Sprint coverage, then you can set that AP to never auto handoff). It's basically been completely invisible to my wife that she's using WiFi for voice calls.

I guess you haven't used a Windows computer since Vista? Users are NOT administrator by default, heck even the domain account Administrator isn't an admin by default, you have to perform an action which requires elevated permissions and then you get a UAC dialog which is required to actually have an Administrator token. This is not at all unlike how SU works *NIX.

The only reasons to buy a manual are cost and 'fun to drive', and once you reach say 80% of a model being sold with automatics the cost equation actually starts to swing towards the automatic, as far as fun to drive, a properly done DSG is plenty fun to drive =)

There's an upgrade, FX-9590.

Yup, on the server side AMD was ahead from the first Opteron until Shanghai, and then Intel launch Nehalem and they've been ahead ever since. One the desktop Intel got competitive again with the Core2 but on a performance per $ metric it wasn't until Nehalem that they dominated.

Get rid of traffic fines and my taxes go up

Oliver Wendell Holmes once said: 'I like to pay taxes. With them I buy civilization"

Having armed thugs hitting up random citizens for funding is the antithesis of civilization.

And people said carrier grade NAT was a bad thing...

Sony's part of the LTO consortium so I'd assume the technology would end up there unless Sony strongly feels they have everyone else beat and can convince enough shops that they can go it alone (I know I wouldn't touch a single vendor tape standard with a 10' pole but plenty of folks use the proprietary StorageTek and IBM formats).

I've always said if you don't have an offsite, offline, and verified backup you don't have a backup at all =)

Be careful with multiplexing, it speeds backups but can make restores brutal. We did a test restore of our full file server once and realized we couldn't hit the 72 hour SLA due to shoe shining during restore, we ended up pulling our multiplexing back from 8 to 2 which required a few more drives in the library to complete weekly backups in the same timeframe.

2 in 12,000 isn't in anecdote, it's data.
