For historic value the USSR's stuff was there first.

That is a neat little list, i love the number of missions that where intentional crashes.

not true, Russia put stuff up there.

it's not a law - but a lot of companies have a policy to that tune.

first thing i think about is skill wires from SR

while this is true - it would seriously screw apple until they could find another supplier that could get production up to suitable levels, this isn't exactly a quick process.

because there are several levels of refinement that has to happen to get sand to the point to make clear/colored glass of the quality people are accustomed to today. It is cheaper to take glass that is already at that purity level and remelt it than it is to refine raw sand and then have to do the same melt & mold process.

go to any and i mean ANY global product producer and tell them you have a way increase their revenue by one percent at nearly zero cost and they will be all ears.

go to them with a product that will cost them money to implement and will lower revenues by one percent, they will ignore you.

I personally like the "Elemr's Glue and Play-Doh Part of a Healthy Diet?" the level of presentation he did, it really shows how the world thinks. It doesn't mater what it is, if you can present it in the right way you can convince people of anything.

same as REL and CentOS

Didn't realize that, thanks.. always fun to learn something

I do agree with your statement.. although if memory serves me right Citrix did not predate windows NT with Terminal services for a remote Windows Client multi-user single host environment.

part of me also likes to point out to the people trying to do streaming video over normal VDI + RDP and having issues that what they have is a hammer, their problem may not be a nail. While it's great to have a solution cover as many situations as possible, you should not attempt to make do things that it wasn't designed for.

using Hyper-V for the host of the VDI's and using the RemoteFX adapter fixes a lot of the video playback problems..

well my son was born in 2010 i'll have to get back to you in 16 more years to see if i agree with that study.

Is that 925$ an average total life cycle cost? because i have a 2 year old and he is no where near that expensive, even if include the prenatal and birthing hospital bills.

I find it hard to believe that the cost of raising child would be more than my own cost of living for two people.

Minimum wage is $7.25/h that comes down to ~15k a year.. so ~1k a month after taxes.. you know that is more than i was living off of 12 years ago.. but i guess the difference is i lived within my means.. didn't have a lot of shiny things and didn't waste things, but hey maybe that's too much to ask of people.

It amazes me how we push for people to get a higher education but we do not teach kids the basic concepts of planning and money management, and how to live within their means. it will be forever that someone has more than someone else, but there is no reason why, if we all only consume what we need rather than what we want, that everyone can survive just fine.
