He didn't say that.

We already have reflective paint.
We already have 256k.

Should be good enough for anybody.

The voice of dissent has been a lot louder than the supporters.

I vote for public shaming. Who are the shareholders?

It's not a years of school requirement, it's an age requirement. Someone can go play in other leagues until they reach the minimum age. Turns out that D1 college basketball is the best place (talent pool, visibility, age-specific coaching).

has helped several Davidson students score in the 96th percentile (or higher) in ESPN's bracket challenge

How hard is it to reach the 96th percentile? Let's say you teach this course for 3 yrs with 20 students per course. I think the odds are decent that one of those students would be in the 96th (odd number to choose, don't ya think?) percentile? I'm going with crappy journalism.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

Ctrl-F slashcode - There you are. How about the irony of a slash-code based site getting the traffic from beta?

I would. Instead of buying a $15 DVD, I'll pay $4 and watch it once. If it's good enough, I might watch it 2 or maybe 3 times, but odds are, I'm coming out ahead.

I guess I'm just at a different time in my life than I was in the past. The DRM thing used to really get to me, but maybe I'm just not as involved so I no longer care. :)

That's where I'm at. Once upon a time I thought I'd build a neighborhood movie-sharing vault. Now it's just easier to pay a few bucks to stream that movie that I watch every once in a while instead of the thought of maintaining terabytes of static data, or data that we'd have to pay to add to it.

it's web-based too

It's not like he was downloading a car, sheesh.

Unfortunately, not sooner than we see a jackwagon comment making this thread political before it's political.

I agree. Here's my company's situation - mfg environment, sounds very similar to OP's:
80 employees, 40 desktops, 7 physical servers, 3 virtual servers + a commercial SAN. We're a Windows shop with Exchange 2007. In-house ERP - not as many (15?) customizations, but we have about 20 custom apps that integrate with ERP as well.

One lone wolf in IT.
