@scottalanmiller and @Dominica Liesl would love that!

So much like V8 and Spunkmonkey or whatever ridiculous name Firefox has for theirs? That's good, might help a lot with making iOS devices faster.

Well this is certainly not the case at where I'm at. Devs don't really communicate or document well and then testing is somewhat haphazard at times. QA seems to be an after thought.

Interesting. I wonder if that's using just the device passcode, or if it's also being backed with an ActiveSync policy that requires encryption?

Haven't played it in ten years.

When you buy bandwidth people should expect you to use it. If they aren't happy with that they should not have sold it to you.

No different than how any home user abuses their peering by watching Netflix. The traffic is nearly all one direction. No one would ever call the obvious use case "abuse".

Something purchased is NOT peering. It is a paid service.

You're absolutely right. Netflix is purchasing the paid service to pump Xetabytes of data onto the internet to Cogent... it's Cogent's problem if there is a peering problem caused by Cogent's sale of such a large pipe to Netflix.

If Cogent needs to reevaluate their peering deal with other providers, so be it.. if that means that they suddenly have to incur more costs to connect to those other providers - I'm currently OK with that too. If that means that Cogent needs to pass those costs along to Netflix because they (Netflix) are the reason that Cogent has to pay the other peers - Fine... that's they way it SHOULD work.. not Netflix paying it directly to whatever extortion the other ISPs want to charge or else block the traffic.

Of course... if someone on Verizon's network put a sharing website that started making the peering more equal or unbalanced in a different way, then the agreement between Cogent and the other peers should be readjusted, etc.

Pretty much if you are not buying big robots to handle your tape autoloaders, you are too small to be dealing with tapes 🙂

Nice. Haven't played with OpenBSD in many a year.

They bought a company who made a nice office suite called QuickOffice (which now kinda sucks).

They already have Drive (which should be the catch all for opening and saving documents).

And now they make additional apps? What's the point indeed.

I love Google products & services, but I have serious concerns about their direction all the time, it's like all the smart kids have really bad A.D.D. (not knocking on anyone that has this) and can't see a product through long enough to make a real competitive product.

I've never actually had a job experience in IT where I was treated like I didn't know what I was doing because I'm a female. I don't know if this is a reflection of entering the field at 27 instead of 20. When I was in elementary and high school, it never occurred to me to not be interested in science, and I never felt like I was discouraged from it. There were almost no official opportunities in technology, though, for anyone, not just girls. I think this is where Scott's argument comes in: he got access to a computer on his own and a young age, and decided to learn programming, whereas we had a computer when I was little, but I didn't even know it was possible for a kid to learn how to write code.

LMAO, you think? They got hosed hard by the political machine. Maybe next time they will become bigger donors 😛

@Joyfano Seems like a neat idea but they should have built it on a base that allowed for more expansion, like have the Fedora, OpenSuse or Ubuntu repositories accessible.

I should get myself learn more to fully understand
