I think they're experts in routing cables in very tight and uncomfortable spaces like attics and crawl spaces. They would often want to route stuff directly through a wall rather than in-wall because it's the easier to do the former. But I appreciate their expertise in this area. Connecting stuff to MPOEs and NIDs they definitely know that stuff. How to tell if the wiring into a premises are electrical or telco, yup. Splicing fiber, definitely. I'm surprised they're paid that low because I've asked a contractor how much it would cost to route networking and video cables in a home and I was quoted $4500 for 20 drops.

But in terms of hooking stuff to an enterprise switch, I have doubts most of them know about VLANs and stuff like that.

Here is more detailed info on these "losses."

The JEDEC did not kick Rambus out of the organization. Rambus participated in the SDRAM talks but they didn't like JEDEC's terms. They filed submarine patents while participating in the standards discussions, withdrew from JEDEC and then started suing various manufacturers.

If SCO can last nearly a decade I'm not surprised Rambus's lawsuits would last as long if not longer.

Next thing you know, their employees would be asked to pay back portions of their salaries that management thought are undeserved.

But by allowing a shoddily-engineered product to run Android, Google is actually allowing their brand to be tarnished. People with these phones who experience glitches will blame either the phone manufacturer, Google, or both.

It's a pain anyway if you've gone through another month of updates anyway as you potentially have another set stacked on top of the prior one. By that time you need to do surgery with regedit.

You get rid of the backed up system updates via CCleaner (Advanced > Hotfix Uninstallers). But it won't remove the downloaded files so manual remove from %WINDIR%\softwaredistribution\download. I do this after every Patch Tuesday.

Only applicable to data center and enterprise editions, not standard or web editions. The 4GB includes memory for applications and drivers so you either can have 2GB for apps + 2GB for kernel or 3GB/1GB using the /4GT switch. But it is a trade off if you have more than 1GB for the kernal. This dilemma is especially evident if you're using Terminal Services which will have performance issues if kernel space is less than 2GB. http://www.brianmadden.com/blogs/brianmadden/archive/2004/02/19/the-4gb-windows-memory-limit-what-does-it-really-mean.aspx

Actually recently XP-x64 is better supported because more people delayed migrating to Vista so they opted for XP. HP for instance has more XP x64 drivers for their newer machines although coverage is not 100%.

I like Stacy Keach myself since he's done quite a few PBS documentaries.

I think it's interesting the original Star Trek series used a woman's voice for the majority of the computer voices but most, if not all the bad computer voices were male voices. The M5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Computer and ISS Enterprise's computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror,_Mirror_(Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series) being ones I can quickly think of.

That's just passing the buck and not being accountable. The update issue is a usability problem for users who want to have the latest software.

My, what short memories people have. I admit it is too early to tell whether the 4S will be a success but many of the coverage I've heard or read expressed what a let down the introduction was.

Rival smartphone makers could exploit a rare letdown by Apple in the launch of its new iPhone 4S model, which failed to wow fans, and grab a bigger share of the most lucrative part of the phone market.

"It's certainly a disappointment given the fact that people were looking for a new iteration to be number 5 in this case," says David Garrity, principal at GVA Research.

"Underwhelming is the word that hit me," said Endpoint Technologies Associates analyst Roger Kay.

The letdown was echoed in the early performance of Apple's shares, which fell as much as 5% Tuesday and finished down 0.6% at $372.50 at 4 p.m. trading even as the broader market rose.

So the virtual monkeys are recreating a subset of the work of Shakespeare not an entire work. And the Hadoop instance is splicing them together?
