Don't forget to add in the cost a 5V 2A power supply if you don't have one laying around. Unlike the Pi, this can't be powered through the micro USB port.

Judging from his question, I would assume he wants both (he specifically mentions wireless protocols). Any number of Mikrotik models would fit the bill, the specific one I linked is only an example.
I have 7 different ones on my Home network and another without the wireless in the datacenter. I have the one linked as my home router/AP. For internet, it is connected to a 5Ghz QRT5 on a 26' pole outside my house that points to a leased tower 6 miles away in town. On that tower I am running a RB911G-5HPnD (with a nice RF Elements 120 degree Sector), which then runs down to a RB750 with connects to a Business DSL line. My neighbor didn't have internet, so I bridged him to mine using 2 x SXTG-2HnD, and then have an 433AH as his AP. In the datacenter, I am using a RB750GL in front of my personal ESXi cluster. They are versatile enough to use in almost any situation.
I use Mikrotiks for just about everything nowadays. I haven't really found any situation that it couldn't do the function I required, even when it was something as complex as L7 regexing on a URL to force specific requests into a different priority queue.
Simple.
You stipulate that for every maintenance, there has to be a full regression testing of any affected applications. You will require the application owner, QA folks, and any other affected personnel online during and after the maintenance to test and ensure everything is working. Bonus points, require them to be on a conference call, and breathe heavily into the mic the entire time (maybe occassionally says "Oops"). When you have enough other people complaining about the 2 am times instead of just you, they magically get moved to move sensible times in the late afternoon.
Your best is to get out of Managed Services and into Professional Services. You just build out new environments / servers / apps and hand them off to the MS guys. Once its off your hands, you never have to worry about a server crashing, maintenance windows, or being on call. Plus, you are generally paid more.
Today, Yahoo is estimated to be worth ~$36.72 Billion
It doesn't own YJHI and YAHI, it owns a percent stake in them. Those stakes are the estimated 9 and 40 billions. So what I believe he is saying is that if they sold those shares, then they would be 13b dollar richer then their current actual market of Yahoo.
Agreed. I live in a rural area and because of that I pay a hefty premium for the paltry 3 Mbps connection I enjoy ($156/m). While I can just barely stream non HD over my WISP connection, I can't do anything else while I am doing it. I also have a 100 GB soft cap (they just send me an email asking me to watch my usage). My ISP also discourages the practice, as they are really overselling and during peak times you won't be getting your full connection. Buffer... Buffer.. Buffer...
On the other hand, the 4 DVDs I get at once allow me to constantly circulate one back to Netflix while another is on its way so that I usually always have at least 2 in the house to watch.
I come to
/. for the comments, but with the new Beta, I can't even see anything! It just says: ''Shazbot! We ran into some trouble getting the comments. Try again... na-nu, na-nu!
It seems like the "developers" need to take some advice from people who actually know what they are doing. I'm happy to help explain what graceful degradation means if they like...
