Office 365 is free at the lowest level. For $2.50/student/month and $4.50/employee/month you get an SLA and the full Office suite for everybody. It's a real bargain compared to hosting and managing your own email solution, plus students get

I work remotely from Louisville and visit Columbus every other week or so. Email is in my profile if anyone wants to meetup.

Any non-profit school has to file a form 990 with the IRS. Debt isn't always included in the filing, but Moody's usually includes a pretty accurate debt estimate along with credit ratings. Here is Stanford's 990 from 2011: http://bondholde

I doubt anyone is trying to cover up making a poor choice of SIS vendor. It is astonishing how absolutely terrible higher ed software offerings are. That being said, the punishments are stupid. Cut off his app's access if charging money is

Everything listed on your site is for K12 - any plans to support higher ed packages?

When/if Amazon is forced to start collecting sales tax I they'll start selling items locally. They already have a number of distribution centers and I bet people would happily drive out to them to get a product today.

The university site I manage still has IE in the lead. Luckily the majority are running IE8 with IE9 close behind.

Looking at our traffic, the "common case" is fairly low resolution displays: 1280x800 (25%) 1024x768 (16%) 1366x768 (14%) Luckily the new Gmail interface has three settings for display density.

Despite the huge ribbon the new layout actually has more vertical space due to the removal of the details pane. Once the ribbon is minimized there would be tons more real estate: http://blogs.msdn.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/communit

Nokia, RIM and Samsung seem pretty committed to their choice of OS. Rumors of Amazon tablets running Android keep surfacing but Amazon and Google are not exactly friends - Android is likely the least painful OS choice. They could buy WebOS

I purchased a home due to mortgage payments (including taxes and insurance) being equal or less than renting somewhere reasonable. This is in Louisville, KY which may be an outlier.

That new "dense" GMail theme has the bar's opacity set to ~40% and is much less jarring. I think the black bar wouldn't be an issue if the rest of the pages weren't so low contrast now.

TinyShark is still in the Market. It requires flash, so I imagine it is loading the Grooveshark website and automating it via a nice UI.

I tried to use a few numbers from IPKall but they were all already registered with Google Voice. Sipgate[1] gives you a number free and was easy to setup with some instructions[2] from XDA. [1] http://www.sipgate.com/ [2] http://forum.xd

The ERP where I work wraps RCS with a bunch of scripts. It's used for source control (of course) but also schema migrations, source generation, and a million other things I've checked files out that were last modified before I was born.

We have a table full of unsavory words due to generating more than one password that upset someone. At one point someone decided we needed "pronounceable" passwords for our new users without considering the consequences.

I can confirm Visa does not allow you to charge a premium/pass on fees but a discount is allowed for cash and check. MasterCard, American Express and Discover let you charge any sort of fee basically. My employer does not accept Visa due t

Google clearly stated in their blog post they used IE8 and the Bing toolbar with settings that provide user experience data to MS (for the Suggested Sites feature and such). I'm sure Google's toolbar and Chrome phone home if you let them, t

Is there some reason you can't pay for an out of warranty repair? I don't think products breaking outside the warranty period is Android specific - if you dunk an iPhone a year after purchase you'll be spending dollars on a repair.

Sorry to deviate from the topic at hand, but in what ways do you think WPF is a "dead-end"? I've been mucking about with it in preparation for my first desktop app in a few years. It seems to work well enough but maybe I'm not deep enough y

The CLR is already available on ARM-based devices via Windows Phone 7 (and PPC in the 360). No idea how complete the implementation is, though.

This is really good advice - Adobe's reader is a performance destroyer. Foxit is getting bogged down with features but Sumatra [1] is simple and super fast. [1] http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/free-pdf-read...

You shouldn't have any problem with porting (unless you're under contract) or using a prepaid plan. "Even More Plus" plans are still available though no longer advertised and may save you $10/mo. Also consider the T-Mobile reseller Simple M

Easiest way is to buy the device at Best Buy and then go to a physical T-Mobile store and setup an account. Go prepaid or request the deprecated "Even More Plus" plan - they still can set one up if you ask. Saves you about $10/month.
