Comment Give me stuff on Sunday! (Score 1) 121

The problem as I see it from a weekend warrior, tinkerer, technical point of view is as follows: 1. The majority of SB is not open afer the standard set of work hours (m-f, 8-5)to allow for other run of the mill people to purchase goods 2. The SB is engaged in a trade based (can not remember the exact name for this) buisnesss such as window tinting, hardware supply, or other wholesale or redistributor only market that will not sell to the "common folk" 3. If the SB will sell to regular person, their inventory is not easily accessed. There are other thingsto list, but n essence a big company needs to ge tthe common person unlimited access to the tail of the dragon type of goods. An example would be if i need a hydrolic actuator at 3:30pm on a sunday afternoon,but i am a software engineer and can not call up local plumbers union to get one.

Unfortunatly, no one can understand the possibilities of using new capabilities until they exist. (Please note, i am generalizng here), until wifi and the opening of 2.4 (worthless in the eyes of the FCC) spectrum did the explosion of wifi communication occur. Hopefully the same will happen with a new RF band such as the 5 ghz bAnd.

While I understand the need for corporate security, I find that as more and more IT rules are pushed down onto my BB, I am becoming less and less likely to keep using it. Unfortunately there are no metrics to calculate the loss of productivity and thus revenue due to employees turning in the POS, crippled BB's and returning to the real world of portable communications. What are the real costs? 1. The possibility of Data lost from my phone? 2. Me only answering emails between the hours of 8am and 5pm, 365 days a year?
