Why yes i do work in a cave, thanks for noticing. I would love to live in one too but their not easy to come by.

you mean this product

that has been out for several years with multiple hardware generations?

i a know multi-national company whose employees (VP's, Regional Managers, ...) regularly use yahoo or gmail accounts with vendors because their corporate e-mail system is so locked down that even the smallest of attachments (anything over 500kb) gets blocked.

it is only as complex as you let it be, some times things really are far more simple than they apear

interesting, wasn't aware of that. the "bolt on" happen to be their prior system and they are just using SAP as front?

Thanks

So you guys spent ~50$ per person in the country to create a gun registry? for that price you could have just bought in bulk discount and gave everyone a gun and there for have a registry that says "everyone" and mission accomplished.

According to your link, it was estimated at 2M and ended up running 66M.. a far cry from 2B but, still a 33x increase in cost so very respectable fail there.

I fully understand where you are coming from, and i can't answer for the Navy on the system as a whole, but i will say their implementation PM (Plant Maintenance) portion of SAP is a very good example of a very functional implementation that is very effective at doing it's job.

I love how each branch of the DoD gets to pick it's own ERP solution. It says Oracle won it over SAP, not that i have a preference but SAP has a showing of being successful in the market via is use in the Navy. With all ERP solutions there are going to be issues, but overall the Navy has been very successful with their SAP deployment.

Again, why isn't this pushed from the top of the DoD vs. every branch figuring it out and reinventing the wheel each time?

50 per GB

Gauging from that comparison image i'd assume it is 50$ per GB as they are comparing it to 1$ per GB NAND which is upper consumer market price right now.

RTFA? :)

But also given how the landscape shapes radio transmissions, it would be a good exercise to find one, but for every unit overlapping it would become much more difficult to isolate and locate, and god forbid anyone get creative with it.

But as a nerd, this is news. I'm a big fan of Intel controllers and am looking forward to taking this for a test drive.

didn't realize that.

and sell it as what? hey i got the new Samsung Galaxy XYZ tablet, looks like a phone but isn't.

There are few devices out there that are the same visual and label device that are sold in phone and non phone versions.. closest i can think of is the iphone and ipod touch both of which are clearly marked and are noticeably different.

while the criminals might be smart enough to flash it, the device physically would look line a phone, and only an idiot would buy it thinking it wasn't.
