Remember when you didn't know who was calling you on your landline phone?

(Also remember when having a phone number with low digits was good so people could dial it quicker?)

Seattle hasn't had a baseball team since 2001, at least in any effective way.

Don't know if you heard but Tiffany died last year.

This is Washington State. Bong ads in NatGeo would actually be a good ad investment. Just put the words indigenous and fair-trade in the description.

Whenever the person says, "This call may be recorded..." I tell them, "You bet I'm recording this!" Some come back and say that I'm not allowed to do that. I tell them, too late.

Doug?

I remember back in the mid 90's I hosted images.slashdot.org on a Slackware box (Pent 90, IIRC) because Rob Malda's T-1 circuit was getting constrained. I was working for the Seattle ISP Wolfe.net and we had a whopping T-3 with 45Mb/s direct to Sprint.

Slashdot start off on Slackware.

This, of course, was back in the dial-up days. Nothing like trying to find a ring-no-answer in a 400 line hunt-group.

I think the Esri map looks better. Oh well Google.

So we're back to 10" netbooks. That worked out so well last time.

Also thank unleaded gas. Yippie science

I did not know that you live in Seattle.

This is why I work to build our local CERT teams and work with the Tribes to stockpile MRE's and whatnot. I also live in a native American fishing village when they know how to feed themselves without depending on stores. Last week we spent $11k on ham radios with solar power to keep the rez in touch with the rest of the state.

Working WITH the community is always the better plan.

Once I can afford one of these AIs I can let it do all my gaming and I can go back to having a life.

Greyfox, old man, the dreams we use to have, I tell you; the dreams we use to have.

To reproduce that capability with your own hardware & infrastructure requires a tremendous amount of planning and capital investment: in power, servers, and network.

No, that's what VMWare vCenter is for. It's not a tremendous amount of work, etc., we do it every month or so.
