In probably 2002 I had a late-night call on a SCSI controller for our DB server. The support alone was probably $3K. I called Platinum Support and immediately got Randy (yes, I still remember the name) who was a down home Texas boy. He was really knowledgeable, funny, and did the entire call with a dip in his mouth (so I naturally joined him). I had to call back a few more times for other stuff on the same support contract over the next few months and got Randy 4/5 times. I miss those days.
Wired service is better and there's no limit to how many spectrums you can have (1 whole spectrum per cable).
+1 obvious.
you're confusing usability with availability. P2P wireless may be slow/restricted, but it would take 2 years to get fiber to a series of schools, therefore slow/limited beats non-available every time.
isn't
my brother in law is a Civil Engineer for the City of Detroit, and considering they only get 8-9 good months of project work in per year (read: frozen ground, too much snow) rolling out new fiber to Detroit would probably take far longer than it is worth. He has had a Water Main project to reroute supply near 17-18-19 mile, and it has taken the better part of three years.
What about towers and point-to-point wireless?
I get no more spam/ads/offers than anyone. Possibly less, because anti-spam anti-ad measures are so easy to implement. Remind me again how they're harming me. Oh, wait. They're not.
You seem to wear many hats, but mostly tinfoil and ass. What's amazing is that you claim not to care, yet go out of your way to attempt to make an example of me. Bother someone else with your paranoid antics. Begone with you, for I have beer coupons to cash in.
But, if you give your permission I guess you're OK with it as long as you get a beer coupon.
Paranoia and Guilt are for the guilty. I'm fully aware I'm being watched. Part of my job of being a systems admin is being a watcher, so I'm fine with it. I'm not ignorant of those facts, I'm simply indifferent to them.
That, and I like beer.
It's like going to the shop to buy an ice-cream and coming back to find some squatter living in your house.
no, it's like parking your car and coming back to find a strange couple making out in the back seat.
at the house...
at the office...
at the pub...
this invades my privacy how? Complete strangers see me with my pint, so why shouldn't Apple send me Guinness ads? If they send coupons, I'll thank them.
for how long will they show it before the battery is so drained the engine cannot be restarted?
probably right up until the battery dies.
and they hire some wanker to perform a six-figure vapor-job such as "business development" and I find his user/IP spending 5 hours out of the day on time-wasting sites, that's when I take the report to the COO. Don't hack and slash IT resources to let some slacker take up my bandwidth with car races on YouTube and 360.
underpaid (if only in my mind): check.
bitter on weekdays: check.
vindictive: check.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
