Where I work, we're a pretty heavy cisco shop.... We've got 2 CCNA's (who are both going for ccnp) and our manager is CCNP Voice. We've worked on cisco gear for years, we have experience with it and understand how it works. Cisco has the market, thats a reason, for example, why HP CLI is extremely similar. So guys like me can QUICKLY go and configure vlans or something on a switch. Saving a couple hundred on a switch if your guys have to re-learn them isn't worth while.

Would an OPENBSD rig running OOSPFD or OBGPD be cheeper? YES. Would it likely be as fast? PROBABLY (if not faster). Would anybody know how to use it? PROBABLY NOT. While it could be learned.....time has a value. The exception is if you're starting from the ground up and have IT staff and procedures of size that could actually support 'non standard' gear. AKA if you get hit by a bus and you're the only guy in your shop -- how easy would it to be to get someone up to speed on your current gear? or do you need to fly in a specialist.

TL;DR: We use the gear because we can find people who know it easily without having to fly in a specialist.

sounds to me you guys should budget a day for training and move off cisco... if not for anything else as learn it as backup, if cisco decides to alter the deal since if you're willing to pay few hundred bucks more, why not a thousand or two thousand(actually depending on the gear you are already in that territory). basically what you just said is that you can't use anything else than cisco because you use cisco while if you used anyone else's gear you could use pretty much any of anyone else's gear. good going!

What we need is open source in phones in a way that enshrines the consumer first. GPLv3 all the phone specific software.

Android has market share, has manufacturers (choice in devices), has carriers (coverage), has app developers, is relatively mature, and is "open" enough for most. Do you really think consumers are going to choose Ubuntu just because of a software license most have never heard of? I'm all for innovation, competition and choice, but Ubuntu doesn't seem to be offering anything compelling to any but the hard-core software freedom crowd.

surely it can't all be gpl when MEMBERS GET EXCLUSIVITY?
it's pandering to the carriers to get them to upfront money. but it can't be both open and exclusive to carriers x y and z in their relative markets..
it's probably because shuttlworth thinks you can't use other carriers phones or some stupid shit like that. he's stuck in the US in 2001.

none of this shit we even care about, what would matter is how are they going to be better than android? how? tell us that and get some sweet devices out.

if you can't play duke 3d I doubt you can play any game with this..
that being said, I get no motion sickness from the rift even if used with(with the hack dll's) mirrors edge.. the lag isn't bad.

for long playing, you don't actually want to use the head tracking that much anyways(it's better for your neck if you watch up/down with the controller(mouse)..

sounds me like a plane filled of people who need money. you would be better off with having funding than having to spend time doing socializing with people you need money from, then you could be doing the whatever it is that your system does.

There is no "on a computer" exemption

Yes there is! It's the same as the "copyright doesn't apply on the Internet" rule.

actually that rule is the other way around - even if it wouldn't apply as criminal if you did it in real life it sure as fuck will count if you do it online(copying cassette for a friend vs. sending it as mp3).

well it would be simple if the code had to be distributed through the server you're getting the page from.

it wouldn't fix anything though, it would just make it standard practice that there would be server side injections of the stuff. which would be better anyhow, even if it would make adblocking harder if it was implemented.

what's so distributed about identica and what's so good about pumping your updates to everyone on the distributed network? or plenty of key exchanging.

more to the point has someone done a distributed tor like social network with client side encryptions and easy key exchanges for adding new friends? like, is there anything we could move on to then..

They'll have to show a warrant first.

if they have reason to suspect you're going to dump the money down the drain, no they don't need to show a warrant first. and if they have visual id, then they can get the warrant anyways(after they forget telling the judge that you were just one of 1000 potential matches in the state).
