   Content producers are positioned well in theory, but in reality are ill equipped to compete because their whole business is build around old dying models. See how the majors in the music industry have fared. It is near impossible for big me

   I agree most Netflix users probably have cable, and won't cut cable until there is a critical mass of content available online. I do think there is a tipping point not that far off, and when it happens the businesses that are already well e

   You might consider bundling the enterprise version with union station. A startup version with a 2 server license and union station monitoring for both would be nice. You could also offer access to the union station beta for anyone who buys

   Even including the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the defense spending is a much lower percentage of GDP than it was in 1987. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/19/more-on-defense/

   I use a Mac as my main computer, but keep a PC just for games. I would love to use Linux on it and not have to pay for Windows. Is there another category of software that is as exclusive to windows as games? I can get everything else I need

    What data do you have that an hour each way is the average? I looked up a few Amazon warehouses. The Irving, TX facility is 6 miles from North Lake College. The Phoenix warehouse is 10 miles from Glendale CC, and the one in Lebanon TN is 20

    There are 1,721 2 year colleges in the US (as of 2011), pretty good chance there is one nearby wherever you are. Also, the whole purpose of putting warehouses around the country is to be closer to people. So they are turning up in suburban

    I agree, and I think the hype for the metro interface creates a false expectation that the whole windows 8 experience is going to be new. I was disappointed using it the first time how similar it was to windows 7. Looking at Metro, you can

    It probably is the most used, being a cheaper alternative to us-west, but are you suggesting it fails more because it is used more? It does seem that the big AWS outages (in the us) have been concentrated in us-east. I have wondered if it j

    If you win a small claims judgement, you have options to pursue collect yourself, like having a lien placed on their house, or having wages garnished. You're right in that it's not like the court will proactively help you collect, but there

    Murder almost always is defined to include premeditation (malice aforethought). So you're in the clear, along with most every government employee in the world.

    Sexual harassment is against the law, but it isn't a crime (at least in California). A DA wouldn't be involved unless it went well past sexual harassment into assault or stalking.

    Yes! sorry, I meant homogenous. Even a small state like West Virginia is too big and the needs are too diverse for a one size fits all approach.

    If you are putting routers in a school that might serve a few thousand students and teachers, and a branch library that might be serve 5 patrons, you really can't afford to adopt a heterogeneous hardware strategy just to make admin easier.

    If you go to the sony store, and search for "Z14" you get a bunch of camera accessories, and no Z series laptops in the results. No laptop results on page 1 of a google search either. I have an old sony Vaio that I really liked, and I only
