I'm unable to find a software or service that would to this for me, but it's the exact thing I want.

Bugs, random drops, poor performance on some machines. It is not set and forget and I gave up on it.

One can hope.

I would like to know if the access fee benefits the artists in any way - the east european movie industry is not exactly swimming in money.

I personally use occasionally an android based ebook reader with a bluetooth keyboard (Onyx BOOX Poke 2 with logitech k380). Distraction free writing is a thing.

If there are, there might be strength in numbers. You could organise to deliver a signifficantly larger project than any of you could get done individually. You do not need to hire anyone - use the principles of a cooperative and get like minded people that share the profits in an equitable way.

Along the same lines there are companies that may be looking to expand to capture the avilable workforce in your geographical area but lack the apropriate contacts to get started. Your written communication skillks seem to be above average which I consider quite important for such an engagement. If this sounds interesting, do leave some contact details.

Run a few product implementations at customer side and there will be no monotony.

If you grow older and start appreciating more the routine in your life you can go into product management using the knowledge accumulated on customer side implementations and finally consulting.

Bank Underground is a blog for Bank of England staff to share views that challenge – or support – prevailing policy orthodoxies. The views expressed here are those of the authors, and are not necessarily those of the Bank of England or its policy committees.

Telekom is the former Romtelecom.a quick Google search should clarify that for you.

Coverage in Romania is 98% mandated to all operators by law and regularly checked (http://www.ancom.org.ro/en/ancom-has-verified-the-coverage-o...)

Bribing a city Hall worker for fiber Internet connection is again made up. City halls and all other institutions in Romania are not connected to the regular Internet, the connectivity is provided by STS (Special Telecommunications Services) to a private government network. In remote villages this is provided over satellite or radio link. Regular Internet is purchased by the local authorities from local providers (as needed) and is the same service that would be available to anyone else.

If you would run a local farm, do not host your eCommerce site using the available bandwidth, do it in the cloud, that's what grown ups do.

Please provide sources for your claims and do start a WISP if you want to address the rest of the population 2-10%, spread out over a country the size of UK.

As the same time, about 98% of the population has mobile phone coverage (which implies some form of data access) with terminals that can be had for 0 upfront cost and ~10€ per month subscription with very large traffic allowance. Telekom (previous Romtelecom) can offer DSL services in most villages where a phone exchange is present.

Corruption or not, its probably a bad idea to start a wireless Internet provider in Romania because it already has excellent commodity connectivity virtually everywhere.

Also the campaign is flexible funding, I have contacted them and they said they are shipping in November whether it gets funded or not, the product is mostly ready.

Could it be that they are trying to find out how the customers actually use their products in order to allow them to build a better product?

I would be interested in seeing MIL standards or NASA best practices related to infrastructure (telecom, data, etc) design and implementation management.

The project management techniques in use today seem like they have been largely developed in the US aeronautics industry.

The soviet space program was inteed a complex task requiring coordination with large teams in different areas of development. Is anybody aware how they organize that? is the methodology documented somewhere?

Assuming that the government has some rules that requires them not to deploy soho or open source products and they have to spend the money on some big brand company: how come Juniper was not taken into consideration (or other known network vendors)?

I would argue that Juniper could provide cheaper equipment of simmilar of higher spec (let's ignore for a moment if that is oversized or not) - and it becomes even cheaper if you consider the simpler licensing terms and upgrade support.

Isn't the government supposed to run open tenders? Is cisco mandatory in the US?

"You’re shocked because your initial image is of some back-alley Eastern European bootlegger — not an old Jewish guy on Long Island,” Captain Curran said.

I may not be so familiar with the north american culture, can anybody clarify this for me: Is it a generally accepted fact that bootleggers are east europeans and old jews would never do such a thing?

Indeed, east europeans will mostly have a 'neutral' facial expression which is interpreted by most westerners as a frown. It's not a frown, it's just neutral.

East europeans will smile for a good reason and will not hesitate to break in to a laughter if the situation is funny enough. However, walking about smiling for no reason is indeed considered the attribute of mad men. For example in the romanian language 'vesel' means happy but it can also mean mad, disturbed, absent minded or drunk if put in a certain context.

Not smiling can be an impediment if doing business in the western culture but east europeans eventually get it.

Personally I come form a different background (eastern Europe) and at the time i went to university it meant working your ass off on projects and papers, working for professors that seemed unreasonable and obtuse and building relationships with colleagues and professors.

That time did give us a certain maturity and taught as an approach to people and work. Little did we know, the people we ended up working with were even more unreasonable and narrow-minded.

Of course, your mileage may vary.

Is a degree from university of Phoenix taken serious by employers?

I'm wondering, are we fearing the comeback of these ideologies or what's the reason behind this surge in popularity?

While I don't claim to fully understand the advantages brought by block storage vs. file based storage, NAS storage should be usable for most applications. If this is true than the clustered or scale out solutions offered by IBM (SONAS), HP (IBRIX) and EMC (with the recent acquisition of Isilon) might be a suitable off the shelf solution matching your scenario (probably there are some open source solutions also that I am not aware of).

The way I understand these solutions you can basically scale capacity and performance independently which in turn translates itself in the flexibility of achieving the ideal balance between capacity and failure point distribution/redundancy.

What do you guys think of this setup? Would it achieve your goals?

I'm coming from a corporate environment where having an off the shelf solution that is supported by some major company is as important as the solution itself.

However (this might be a personal opinion only) this system is just an optimized way to look at an assembly line. What I mean is that it is very well applicable when applied to develop projects that consist of large numbers of relatively similar actions (action being writing code in the case of software development) but it is less applicable in one-off projects like delivering a building or a space station.

On the other hand I might just be missing the essence.

To clarify however, I am not necessarily interested project management, I am interested in whatever methodology was used to deliver those projects successfully. Was it the methodology? Was it an unlimited budget?

If there was any methodology developed at the time, there must be some documented accounts. My example with the plane development method is only relevant in the sense that an "agile" methodology was used back in the '60s and it has been applied to software development relatively recent only.

Maybe there is more to be learned.

What I've found out is that while Americans are a lot more insensitive (tolerant?) to broken accents the British absolutely can't stand it. They avoid talking to people with bad accent and will generally walk away form any conversation with somebody of a non-british accent. I've observed this with brits around the world, not only in the UK and for sure it's not related to talking among conationals only: generally they are willing to engage in conversations with people that are obviously not british as long as they speak proper english with proper accent.

Of course you can not generalize the above to every brit in the world however this is my observation.

About blogs I observed in a comparative study that pages not ending in .com are just a bit less likely to be clicked.

About a written message, what can I say? If the English is badly broken I get annoyed too. If there are minor spelling mistakes it does not bother me, substance prevails over form.
