I've done some minor stuff in MS PowerBI and PowerQuery/PowerPivot that I think meets your need. It's pretty nifty. https://powerbi.microsoft.com/ http://www.powerpivotpro.com/what-is-power-p

Yes. Also, the upper limit on the dynamic range of the telephone network is somewhere around 3400 Hz, well within the range of human hearing. This protocol is designed to send data in a frequency range that most people can't hear, or

Well, I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'affordable'. 10G is now affordable for small businesses, when up until recently it was strictly the domain of the large datacenter. I wouldn't put it in my house yet, but I se

No, that switch is 10G copper, no sfp+ required. Thunderbolt and 10G ethernet aren't really competing in the same space, so I'm not sure why you brought it up.

Well, technically you can now get into 10Gb for around $150 per port. http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-12-Port-ProSafe-Gigabit-Switch...

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but all combined CO/smoke detectors I have ever owned have a distinctive alarm for CO. Usually a spoken alert warning of CO.

Why can't a body of around 4.5 million people encompass both those things and more?

Sorry, where did you see that?

Isn't the real problem that it sucks to drive 7 hours?

And if the tube breaks behind you, you'd just arrive sooner.

Well, you would no longer need to evacuate the tube...

it would be simpler and more effective to integrate this technology into drink straws and other paraphernalia. Bars will be hesitant to replace their entire glassware supply.

Yes, and his answer is also carefully crafted to talk about dedicated servers, not Rackspace's 'cloud' service.

I'm on Windows 8 right now and I have a taskbar. Perhaps you were referring to the start button?

You are correct. There is very little half-duplex around these days except in some carrier ethernet situations.

Not the OP, but I would pick up a copy of Ethernet: the Definitive Guide. Then move on to TCP/IP Illustrated, 1&2.

Welcome to the world of government contracting. There was a requirement for two vendors, they got 5 proposals, they chose what they believed to be the best two, at the price the vendors specified. They weren't allowed to haggle.

The real reason not to do this is that it makes you look like a scumbag. It's not in your interest to make that association in your customer's minds. For instance, I run a small datacenter on the east coast. We had no downtime due to San

Have you ever been to Japan? In my travels there I have not noticed any unusual halitosis, and I've spent plenty of time packed into the metro at rush hour.

Any brief review of the righty blogs will show that the wingers are being just as derogatory toward the left, just slightly more quietly since they didn't win.

Brake jobs far any expensive vehicle are just short of a scam in my opinion. Do your own brake job (takes about an hour for a complete novice) and save yourself the money.

There are plenty of tequilas that are eminently drinkable on taste. Try some top-shelf anejo tequila, it will surprise you.

I honestly don't find it that unintuitive. I may have a leg up since my primary pointing device is a trackpoint, which makes hitting the screen corners a really easy move. When you hit the corner, there are visual hints that pop up to gui

I was of the same opinion before I tried 8, but after a week of use it's actually far easier and better from my perspective. I do not miss the start menu, the start screen is better in almost all ways. it does take some getting used to th

I yes, I missed your GGP. But it still doesn't work. If you actively use a hotspot then IP GEO tracks you. If you use wireless data then you can be tracked by cell tower triangulation by the network operator, by GPS, and also by passive
