@coliver It's true, but the local districts have been failing hard too.

Agreed, seems like every district but one around us is increasing taxes like crazy, the one where I live now had to get a vote to increase taxes this year over the usual annual increase...

@scottalanmiller For sure, but I thought there was one to be integrated by MS... shrug

I think so, but sadly they aren't leading even in their own space here.

A bit snarky, but some good points too.

Hopefully this means even more commercial development in FreePBX. It's a good product but could use polishing.

The new version that "just" became stable is fairly good. I'm going to deploy it to replace an old Trixbox server at our NC site. Not flashy by any stretch but very functional.

I know, it is a very young project!

Their goal appears to be to "make Vivaldi the browser that Opera should have been." Originally Vivaldi, according to the article, was a community for disaffected Opera users.

Sounds kind of familiar, ha ha.

This could be devastating for Backspace Email. Amazon is such a huge player with so much visibility.

I was getting Fibre to my house before the last election 😞 pitty they were bad at cost management. Now we have a different set of clowns and I'm not geting Fibre to my house anymore 😞

I would have voted for the other lot but the fibre was their only positive for me.

Yup, probably not a good time to sell.

From what I remember of my readings of a few years ago, the netbook itself is a "Standard" coined by Intel which is esentially underpowered (cap of 2GB RAM and a maximum of 10" screen size). I can't find a link to the actual standard, so don't take this as 100% accurate.

If OEM is included then I may look at refreshing our existing Windows 7 estate with new memory and disks rather than entirely new machines this year.

Pretty much a guarantee. They can't claim that "most" are covered if OEM is not as it must cover well over 90% of all deployments. If I were to guess, it must be over 99%. Other than a few gamers building their own and a handful of IT people, who has anything that isn't OEM except very special cases?

It's on Netflix, and it was so stupid!

I just heard today that Netflix has it now. I'm sure that it is really stupid, all of their movies are. Pineapple Express was downright painful.

There is so much that we don't know and these discoveries just remind me of how much there is still to discover. Even in the areas decreed as uninhabitable, ther is something making the most of the environment that it lives in.

I had read about this a or another system in the last few months. it is an awesome downsizing of the technology.

This comes after the government site healthcare.gov has been caught sending private information to advertisers via headers.

Of course this teen doesn't pretend to be a neurosurgeon or a podiatrist.... he decides to pretend to be an OBGYN. I think we all know what he was hoping to accomplish with this ruse.

Tee hee. Teenagers.
