We use OnSIP, http://www.onsip.com/ I HIGHLY recommend them. Call quality is great, support is competent, and the pricing structure is usage based, not a flat rate. I don't work for them, and I am not an affiliate, but I have been a custo

Am I the only one bugged by the incorrect use of "year 2010 Anno Domini"? Anno Domini means Year of Our Lord, so the proper usage is 'AD 2010', as in "The Year of Our Lord 2010".

Is this unusual for DNS failover? We are looking at doing the same thing for our DR system. Does anyone have any experience with DNS failover?

I think the author misses the point at the end - it's not a choice between Adobe messing up and users not updating. The question is "why are so many users running outdated versions?" I believe one of biggest reasons is because Adobe makes i

Perhaps this is an indication that a single, all encompassing program is impossible to fit to every student. Perhaps a range of programs could be offered, and students and their parents could chose the education program that fits their need

"This fear arises, at least in part, because people don’t know their neighbors as well as they did in times past. People tend to lead private lives, largely indoors, and adults center their social lives more around their work companions tha

I think this misses the point of the original article. While the overall point of ignoring progress may be valid, Mankiw is aware of the ability of markets to reduce costs. He is asking about how to allocate scarce resources. If there is a

"'Mommy & Me' is catchy and alliterative, and, in my neighborhood, it’s the standard label for parent-child events, whether fathers are welcome or not. The term is also unapologetic in its exclusion of fathers, and no analogue exists: t

Of course these people will still be trotted out whenever someone wants a new law. Every politician loves having people who can justify any policy they want to enact without fear of contradiction.

True, but "Who's on First" is still one of the funniest things you can find. Not all humor needs to be fresh.

It's about the poor, stupid people? We can't let the proletariat know of these ideas, since they are too weakminded to hold against them? No, you can't ban opinions just because they are stupid and wrong. Calls for violence are one thing, b

I use this feed: http://nirmalpatel.com/fcgi/hn_feed.fcgi which gets me full text of the article with links to the HN comments. Of course, I found it originally in the standard HN RSS feed.

The fact that this question keeps coming up without a solid, convincing answer seems to indicate that there is no simple answer. It is most likely a huge combination of factors.This also means that simply copying one aspect of another count

This guy confuses Mercantilism with Libertarianism. Libertarianism is about maximizing freedom, not empowering big corporations.

Again, this is pretty much typical of regulations. They cannot keep up with the market they are trying to regulate, and just end up causing problems.

So, a bunch of regulations passed with the intent of helping the "Little Guy" are being abused by the people with the power and influence to have them rewritten. I really hope no one is surprised by this. Clearly the answer is to have Cong
