    2yr renewal + new phone then switch carrier with ETF refund.. worth it?

    @txsizzler, like Donald Trump said, "I am not cheating the system, I am simply taking advantage of deals, vague or available situations where my business can profit." But seriously, I needlessly 'gave' Verizon so much of my hard-earned money for really not much better service. @munkle, one...

    2yr renewal + new phone then switch carrier with ETF refund.. worth it?

    How do they know WHAT phone I have on my plan? What if I give them my 90% broken LG G2. Hardware works, display works but a vertical crack caused the touchscreen to stop working. I use the OTG cable with KB+Mouse. So I can get let's say a iPhone 6s, LG G4 or Moto X Pure or whatever that...

    RE4 "house brand" drives.. any good?

    I'm thinking "white label" means rebadged, de-branded or brown boxed--I guess NOT OEM'ed. Innards are for example Western Digital, but new label doesn't say that.

    Hi Dogs, No, COE denotes where the main expertise is for a function or business practice. For example, at both my former employer (20 years @ another CPG) we had a similar concept. There was the SAP Center of Excellence, BI COE, etc. Whenever you had an issue, the folks there are the most...

    Help me create a job title

    Hi guys, Thanks for replying--and sorry for being vague. Our main business is as a CPG (Consumer Package Goods) company, we're not a software, hardware or ISP/hosting provider and we don't develop consumer-facing sites in-house. For that, each team in the respective geography has an agency...

    Hi guys, I have a Gigabyte GTX 590 stored in a closet--Really, I do. What could that do for me? http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_590_review,2.html Will it be a positive power-cost-factor for mining ?

    Filezilla

    If you make site changes, it is NOT DNS. Maybe there is a caching or CDN service somewhere. Things like ISA, CloudFlare or Akamai will do this. It might be transparent to you or you might not be aware that it's there. Again, not sure if you tested @ home thru a regular router or at work with...

    Most Advanced SQL book

    I don't know if anyone's mentioned it, but branch out into other DBMS systems like Cassandra, MongoDB, RavenDB and Redis. It's a different paradigm and it's not just the simplified syntax, but also possibilities. No longer do you have to setup huge IBM DB2 data warehouses when you can use NoSQL.

    Which internship should I accept? vb.net/asp.net OR ruby on rails?

    Also, don't forget that India developers/consulting firms will try to outbid you with over-hyped staff. .net is great since it's usually in-line with big company initiatives (aside from SAP) What you should also do is move past the developer role and go into MIS because I personally think...
