From that I get that you didn't saw that many in-house IT departments. On my previous job I've ran for 7 years (including one server room relocation to the other side of the city) with only one 30-minutes downtime period. Yes, I intend to keep my bragging right for this streak.

"Now" is misleading when the article is 2 years old?

Because yes, a simple 4 contacts/4 wires cable is clearly inferior to a proprietary crap, with custom connector and single-manufacturer authentication chips lock-in.

No matter where you look it up, it's always Mt.Gox, there is no "mount" in there. I dunno about any magic stuff...

and i've met britons that were complete morons, but this doesn't say anything about the general population or the country, doesn't it?
Meanwhile, the fastest pricks on the internet are lavians and romanians (1st, respectively a very close 2nd place in Europe; 4th, respectively 5th in the world). Rst of the europe, suck it

Sorry for you, Joe Blow, but you live in the wrong country: in Romania you get FTTB - Cat 5 in your house with 100Mbps for just unde 12$/month. Of course, you can allways go cheap and pay just unde 9$/month for 50Mbps. You may start weeping now.

wireshark-101 and a mac lookup is something worthy of a /. front page?
Next in the news, a tutorial about upgrading from IE6 to IE7?

You are now paying NOW, with MONEY, DIRECTLY for the app, but you are paying with time and bandwidth(money!).

Stealing means removing something that one possessed. It isn't the case. Hell, one isn't even entitled to get money for an ad that I should have seen because said one wanted so.

You may pretend to hold the higher moral standards, but that doesn't make you right. On the other hand, forcing down the users throats you crap is nasty and I chose to refuse it. You are charging me for removing an annoyance that you intentionally put in your app in the first place? Thanks, but I can do that myself for free. If I don't have the freedom to use your app, paid or free, on MY DEVICE in whatever manner I see fit then screw your app, screw you and screw whatever platform you're using to do this to me. Ain't that simple?
If this harms you as a developer, maybe you didn't chose the right strategy in the first place or maybe your app just doesn't worth $0.99. Try publishing on iStore, a jailed user is already proven to be more obedient.
And... stealing? How is that working out exactly? I'm stealing something that you didn't possessed? Just because someone is supplying me an product doesn't mean I'm required to watch whatever ads are embedded in said product: I can change channels during ad breaks, I can skip the ad pages in a printed magazine and for damn sure I can put an ad block on my devices.

Link please! I think you're confusing this with the phone/sim* ability to use ANY available network (not only you provider's network) for an emergency call. This can be used as a starting point for further documentation. *in some countries you can dial the emergency number even if you don't have a sim card in your phone.

Most meaning UK, US and Canada? There is an entire world beyond your back-yard fence, a world that doesn't give a crap about the random numbers used to multiply ass-pulled units.

I've registered with RS on May 5th and I've been invited to actually ordered it on June 20-something. It's September and they didn't dispatched my pie yet so yes, they can keep it. While they brag with extraordinary production capacity and local retailers have boards in stocks, my long gone money didn't brought me a damn board. Thanks for nothing, RS! I want my money back and I'll buy a 2.0 from someone that actually delivers.

Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Frequency, not revolutions, unless YOU are high, in witch case you can revolve as you wish.

Windows 2003 crashed remotely because you didn't applied a 3 days old patch doesn't seem scary to you? Just wait for the bean counters on the second floor to stone you to death because their stone-age old ERP crap is down. Or the DNS/DHCP server. Or the hole freaking AD.
