Any pointers on how to identify clients already in tank with another vendor? Being overly specific in the RFP and demanding the exact features a vendor has is a clear giveaway but I am wondering if there are any other signs. I am new to thi

The TSA has a blog where they reference Ars Technica and XKCD? I am forced to acknowledge that they are slightly more enlightened than I thought. Having said that, the arguments in that post are bullshit (as evidenced by several comments be

Good stuff. Giving a booth/table to each presenter at an event that doesn't charge startups to present is a truly class act. I am sure the audience prize will make it more exciting too.

I think I need to see the video. The transcript seems to be quite a bit rambling and hard to consume.

I have never read a more apt description of large organizations or a better deconstruction of a tv show. The author should turn his incisive intellect onto startups next (although I don't know of any "The Office" like shows to aid his analy

To be fair, the probability of the average youtube video being that useful to you is not much greater than that of the twinkie transforming itself into wheatgrass juice, unless you searched for youtube videos on very specific topics instead

What? Are you saying it costs nearly $10 per message or more? How can 1200 messages cost $10K - $20k?

One of my colleagues did this with our automated notification system. After his phone received about $60 worth of text messages, he panicked and shut down the server! Then again $60 is only about 1200 messages.

Well in his defense it's not like he asked for it. Gibbs first response to the news was "Wow". I think they are smart enough to know that far from being a feather in their cap this is a potential PR crisis on their hands.

Pres. Obama pushed for diplomacy with enemies when it was politically risky for him. I think this was both right and courageous. But they should have waited till his diplomatic efforts bore some fruit to give him a Nobel. Awarding it now sh

I am unsure of what you mean. I have no love lost for the author of that article: parts of that article are true but he seems clearly biased to the point of having included outright fabrications in other parts. But, Gandhi is correctly spel

I am an ardent critic of Gandhi, and many of those criticisms of Gandhi are worth considering and outside of private discussions, rarely brought up in India. However, for an article that criticizes Gandhi for being racist, the author has so

Either they think it is illegal or what is more likely is that anytime a sysadmin at a federal facility sees "atypical" behavior (as defined by them) they contact the feds. It is very unlikely that a sysadmin in the federal court system wou
