Battlefield: Bad Company 2
as you have seen in hardcore.. these are one shot ko weapons. accuracy some say is 100% on the first shot, and since we reload, it goes back to 100% (but then why have the bars in details there.. i dunno).
so that taken into consideration.. what is the pro/con of using one over the other aside from how they look in hardcore.
+Thinner crosshairs
-Slight view sway
-Smaller scope
+No view sway
+Larger scope
-Thicker crosshairs
I dont mind the sway at all, thinner CH better right? or just stay with Gol?
Try them both out, since which one feels better to you. Personally, I found the M24 to be superior for long range shots.
i agree,, m24 doesnt play games at long range. or any medium range.
the accuracy on sniper rifles basically notes how fast the bullets drop since you cannot fire fast enough to have the recoil throw your aim off by much with anything other than the VSS(which fires 2 accurate shots and 3+ go haywire.) If you can cope with the bullet drop, go with whatever feels better. The m24 does 5 points more damage at max range, but on hardcore mode or when aiming for the head that doesn't meant much I think.
Look, if I had anything else to say I would have said it already.

CHICAGO — Concern over the quality of gluten-free bread and rolls prompted a Kansas State University research team to look at how to improve the taste, volume, color, moisture and other characteristics of these products.
They found that eggs could help replace the protein matrix normally provided by gluten that gives bread its volume, texture and other appealing characteristics.
"Eggs — also a protein source — are known for their foaming ability," said team leader Fadi Aramouni, Phd, an extension specialist and professor of food science at KSU. "Using eggs as part of a glutem-free bread roll formulation, we were able to increase volume and improve color and texture."
This research was presented during a poster session at the Institute of Food Technologists' annual meeting and Food Expo in Chicago earlier this month.
"Before beginning our research three years ago, we found despite the rapidly expanding retail market for gluten-free products, many of the gluten-free offerings were of mediocre quality," Dr. Aramouni said. "As a result, we wanted to see if we could improve gluten-free bread quality to help celiac sufferers and those who chose to eat gluten-free." Another common shortcoming of gluten-free bread is that it stales quickly.
Eggs showed a distinct impact on bread roll quality, increasing volume and cell elongation. The addition of eggs made the texture softer and helped maintain moisture and retard staling, which is important to maintain shelf life.
Such functional aspects represent a step forward, and the team explored consumer acceptance, too. "You can publish all the research you want, but if the consumer will not buy it, a product will not make it on the shelf," Dr. Aramouni observed.
General population consumers found the gluten-free product formulated with eggs highly acceptable and indicated a willingness to buy it. Acceptance among the celiac population was even better. "Inclusion of eggs definitely makes a critical difference in acceptability of gluten-free breads," he said. "It's the make-or-break for acceptability."
Researchers predicted that the positive results seen for the gluten-free roll formula with eggs could have a big impact on development of similar baked foods.
While eggs were a part of the improved gluten-free formula, honey, sunflower seeds and sorghum flour were, too. All these ingredients together helped to make a good-tasting, good-quality gluten-free bread, according to the KSU researchers.
The team expected to have their final research published in the Journal of Food Science, IFT's peer-reviewed scientific journal.

What is the process to sell/lease my recipe to a company to be used in their product?
Intellectual Property Law Attorney
Often, the first step in a transaction like this is for the company to learn more about your recipe so that they can evaluate whether they want to purchase rights to it and, if so, how much they are willing to pay to obtain such rights. In many cases, this will involve signing a non-disclosure agreement with the company, pursuant to which they agree to only use the information that you provide concerning the recipe for evaluation purposes.
If, once the evaluation phase is completed, they are interesting in purchasing rights to the recipe, you and the company will have to determine the terms of the agreement. Here are some examples of issues that may arise during negotiations:
How much will they pay you?
Will the money be paid up front? as a royalty, based on their sales of products made using your recipe?
Will you be obligated to be available to answer questions regarding the recipe?
Are their any trademarks associated with the recipe that they will also be obtaining?
Will you have the right to continue sell products made using your recipe?
Do you have the right to sell the recipe to another company?
What happens if they stop making products with your recipe?
My comments in response to your question are intended to provide general information. If you plan to proceed with a transaction like the one that you describe, I urge you to retain competent legal representation.

Fall Swap Consensus?
Have we reached a consensus on the date and location for the swap? I think that September 29 at Black Hill Regional Park was the main proposal. Can we get a yay or nay vote on this?
If nay, please pose an alternative suggestion (i.e., the date is not good, then when is good?). And Eric, if you have a counterproposal for a date at your place, let us know.
I am yay, though I am available any time in Sept and Oct so far, and I will travel wherever to go as I missed the Spring Swap.
I vote nay as it conflicts with an event in Baltimore I am interested in. The swap would be a higher priority. I may be able to do both, but I may also have a 9-mo baby in tow, which will complicate things. :)
I vote for the 30th or the following weekend.
That weekend is good for me. After that, I begin traveling in October for business and won't be able to make a fall swap. Either the 29th or 30th is okay. I did notice many postings for the 29th though.
As for the place, I am agnostic. For sentimental reasons I would love it here at my place (either of those days), and I really appreciate your thinking of that, but I was kinda dreading the thought of figuring out how to organize it. Holding it up in Montgomery County is fine by me.
Christine, do you have thoughts on this?
The weekend is good for me, but I prefer Eric's in Aquasco. The weekend is good for him, too. Call me sentimental, but I know how much Vlad wanted to hold the swap again, and how happy he'd be to know Eric was volunteering.
While Jack (then 2 months old) and I really loved the visit to Vlad's gorgeous place last year, I vote for Black Hills as it IS much closer to me (in northern Carroll & Frederick counties)... In any case, I look forward to seeing everybody and will do my best to get to the swap, wherever/whenever!
:-) Leslie
I'm sure they're both equally far away for me, so it wouldn't really matter, although I kinda sorta know how to find my way to Eric's. So, I'll vote that way.
Actually, I'm not sure why I'm voting. I'm not sure if I'm even coming at this point. If anyone is in short supply of weeds or dead plants, I can bring those, but other than that, won't be contributing anything worthwhile.
I was waiting for a few more of the "regulars" that I know to answer. Kimka, Lynn in Bowie, Bonnie, LynneT?? Are you out there?
Though, I agree that we are tending toward 9/29 in Black Hills.
And remember, it isn't just about the plants. Getting together and eating massive quantities of chocolate is equally as important. ;-)
Sunday would suck for me. Let me tell you how I feel, OK? I won't hold back.
I remember something about Black Hills, but not where or how I got there. May as well be in South Dakota. If it has to be up there, I submit a 2nd vote for the 29th.
I also submit a vote for making these swaps on a set date like Thanksgiving. i.e. the last Saturday in September, for example. We've got a good history of aiming for these dates for both Spring and Fall. This would help people plan ahead if they really wanted to come.
Anyway, I still prefer Eric's, but if we must go whereever the heck it is, I'll go. Alfie, you're voting, but are you actually going to come and stay awhile? [GD&R]
The tally is as follows:
Black Hills: 7
Eric's: 4
Any Place: 2
9/29: 6
9/30: 3
Any Date: 6
Some voted for date but not place or place but not date so they didn't count for the one they didn't vote on. In the democratic vote, Black Hills on 9/29 seems to be the winner. Anyone who calls for a recount has to do it themselves! ;-) hehe
I'm with Christine on the set day. Last Saturday in September and First Saturday in May sound good to me. I like Saturday because then I can have Sunday to plant if needed. :-)
Christine, will you be posting the haves, wants, and food threads?
Wait a minute, Charlotte is four years old and there's another baby at Alfies? That means it's been 4 years since we had a swap at Black Hills. Christine, I think that was one of the first swaps you attended and we used the trunk of your car to get rid of our extras.
Careful Avoirgold, Alfie's delegating the whole shi-bang to you with that 'your decision' command. Now we did come up with set dates a few years ago. Something about the week-end before or after Mother's Day and the week-end before or after Columbus Day. I can't remember, and then new people come along and take a poll! So it's a fine idea to have a set date each year but the players change, so hard to enforce....
OK, the 29th is on my calendar now. Not much to bring, though; my yard was baked, and now it's flooded -- looks like a piecrust with cream poured over it.
It's hard to peg out any weekend in May that isn't already staked for a nifty garden event. The first Saturday in May has worked pretty well for us (though I have had to beat feet/leave early in past years since that afternoon is the DC Gay Men's Garden Club swap, and I've been their token female straight member for more than 15 years.) The weekend before Mother's Day is the Paca House sale (and the second Beltsville sale, which didn't have much of interest this year) and the Saturday after Mom's Day is the Green Springs sale. Sometime in there is also the Londontown Gardens sale.
September is easier. This year Green Spring is doing a Fall Fling on the 15th, and Londontown is doing a fall sale on the same day. Here's a good list of events the Post put out a couple weeks back.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fall Garden Events in DC area
No, no, I'm not delegating the whole thing to Avoirgold.
Christine, could you start the haves, wants, and food threads, please?
(I learned about delegating from a master (Cynthia).)
(I had the baby instead of going to last fall's swap; it was a tough decision, but Vlad said it was ok.)
Dang! I see I am forever going to hear about all the fun of the swaps without ever getting to participate because I work on Saturdays!
Are there any other Saturday worker bees (retailers, hairdressers, etc) that are feeling left out? I'd be willing to host a small swap at my house in North Arlington on some Sunday if there's any interest.
looks like 9/29 at black Hills this time. christine, I agree -- there should be set days, such as last Saturday of September -- to let people plan more easily. If we do one on a Saturday, how about doing the spring swap on a Sunday, such as last Sunday of April or first in May, as long as holidays on't intervene?
I'd prefer Black Hills, since I've actually been there and therefore would be less likely to get lost! But isn't that where the cops stopped us that one year?
Have we stopped considering Sandy Spring for the fall swaps? I always thought that (and Henrietta's for the spring swap) were great locations because they are more central for those of us coming from either direction.
I think the last swap at Black Hills was a spring one and the cops came because we overflowed the parking lot and just started parking on the shoulder of the road, an apparent no-no. They may have also been called because people saw all those pots of green leaf things being handed around and may have thought it was some hippy drug group with pots plants. Watch out for those aralia plants.
Now that we know the parking rules, I don't think we will have a police problem. Beside we've had the police show up at Gardengranma's, although one of them turned out to have a gardener in the family and we gave them a bunch of plants to take home.
The 29th at Black Hills is fine with me, sorry I've been out of the loop for so long! Apparently I can't multitask with hobbies/obsessions... =)
There is a chance I will be going up to Vermont for a few days sometime before Oct 3rd, but that's all up in the air at the moment, so I'll plan on the swap until things change. My gram fell and broke her hip this week and I thought I'd go up and spend a couple of days hanging out with her (and feed the genealogy hobby... umm...obsession).
I will also have/collect Christine's goodies at the swap, or that's the last I heard.
The hummingbirds have been loving the vines I planted on the chainlink. I may have seeds but if not, they are cardinal climber vine and cypress flower vine. I also have morning glories, black eyed susan vine, and a very stubborn or slow-growing trumpet creeper vine, but the cardinal climber and cypress flower are where I can see them from the computer..
What a gorgeous day! I've been waiting for the weather to cool down before I go back out to play in the dirt, and I think today's the day!
Lynne in Bowie MD
Jake, if you switch to the Exchanges page you'll see the HAVES, WANTS and FOOD threads. The swap is explained on there and the HAVES will give you an idea of what plants people will be bringing. There are also some of us who don't post so there will be surprises. If there are things you want post it. It doesn't hurt to ask. No one has posted directions to the park yet but I assume they will before the swap.

Treasury Urges More Regulation for Derivatives; GOP, Wall Street Oppose Plan

Article excerpt
Byline: Sean Lengell, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner told Congress on Friday that substantially more regulation is needed to rein in the over-the-counter derivatives market, which he blamed in part for the near collapse of U.S. credit markets last year.
Establishing a comprehensive framework of oversight is crucial in monitoring the estimated $500 trillion derivatives market, Mr. Geithner told a joint hearing of the House Financial Services and Agriculture committees.
The secretary proposed providing the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission with clear, unimpeded authority to take regulatory and civil action against fraud, market manipulation and other abuses in the derivatives market.
Mr. Geithner said that because of a lack of transparency and the ease with which over-the-counter derivatives are bought and sold, government regulators are ill-equipped to identify risks or the extent of the links among large firms.
Market participants and investors used derivatives to evade regulation or to exploit gaps and differences in regulation and to minimize the tax consequences of investment strategies, he said. The complexity of the instruments that emerged overwhelmed the checks and balances of risk management and supervision.
To increase transparency and improve market oversight, Mr. Geithner suggested greater standardization of the derivatives market and making trading subject to central clearinghouses and exchanges.
Over-the-counter derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived from something else, such as a mortgage-backed security or a commodity like oil, and traded directly between two parties - in contrast to exchange trading.
Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said he supports significantly expanding regulation of derivatives and plans to draft many or all of Mr. …

Stop me if you've heard this one. Thor goes to the Evil Dead cabin with some of his pals and is attacked by a horde of ravenous hillbilly masochistic zombies. A merman might've been better, but those are the breaks. All is not what it seems in this horror show though.
Dana (Kristen Connolly) might rather be studying, but her pal Jules (Anna Hutchinson) insists that she come out to an isolated cabin with Jules' boyfriend Curt (Chris Hemsworth) and his friend Holden (Jesse Williams). Their stoner friend Marty (Fran Kranz) also tags along for the ride. Things seem to be going good as Dana and Holden are making goo-goo eyes at one another, Jules and Curt are making out, and Marty is getting stoned some more.
When they venture down into the basement they find a journal, read some Latin aloud, and resurrect some torture-loving Appalachian zombies. So what does all this have to do with the technicians Richard (Richard Jenkins), Steve (Bradley Whitford), and an industrial complex that appears to be controlling all the horrors of the cabin in the woods? That would be telling.
Don't let the late start fool you, Cabin in the Woods was caught afoul of MGM financial troubles but that doesn't mean that it is a fowl product. The cabin was built in 2009, very much resembling that one from Evil Dead, and slated for a 2010 release. MGM encountered financial difficulties and this film and the Red Dawn remake got caught in the melee.
It took till 2012 for Cabin to come out of the woods and by then it had migrated to Lionsgate, ironically the same studio that inspired the two writer's take on the material and with writers like Goddard and Whedon you know you're in for some good writing. I didn't know if I was going to enjoy the show since I guessed much of the plot both from the trailer and figured out the big reveal well into the picture. What I didn't count on was having such a bloody good time.
The cast, Hemsworth hadn't become Thor yet, acquits itself nicely although they're cliché archetypes but they are that for a very good reason. We have our control room full of comedians who have to make them fit those same molds, but for a very good reason.
The writers do a good job of weaving those expectations into the plot but adding enough fun and surprise that it all comes together nicely. Quite the nice surprise for a film that had been sitting on the shelf since 2009.
Cabin in the Woods is presented in a 1080p transfer (2.40:1). Special features include the "It's not what you think" bonusview where cast and crew pop up in a box for interviews, etc., a commentary with writer/director Drew Goddard and writer/producer Joss Whedon, the 28 minute making of "We are not who we are," the 13 minute "Secret Secret Stash" (two featurettes), the 12 minute "An Army of Nightmares" about the creature effects, the 12 minute "Primal Terror" about the visual effects, the 27 minute "Wonder-con Q&A," and the 2 minute theatrical trailer. You also get a digital copy.
I wanted to type Cabin in the Sky, but that would be a completely different review (1943 African American musical, not kosher in politically correct times). What does emerge from the woods is a fine horror film, and one should expect such with the cast and crew involved. It certainly didn't deserve to have been held in the hinterlands until now. Luckily it finally escaped and brought along some excellent special features.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
WE could learn a few things
Manitoba students set example in global consciousness
That simple volleyball or soccer ball from gym class could help fight poverty for untold thousands of kids -- and get them into school.
Grant Park High School students have had a fair-trade campaign for years, selling fair-trade coffee and tea each morning. But they're leaning on the phys-ed staff to ensure the school's athletic equipment is not manufactured by child labourers.
"We're trying to get the phys-ed department to purchase free-trade balls -- soccer, volleyball, basketball," said Jack Osiowy.
Osiowy said the students believe child labour is being used in Pakistan to manufacture sports equipment.
"Soccer balls are made with 690 stitches," he said, pointing out children's hands are small enough to make those stitches.
Some manufacturers send children back to their homes to do the work when their factories come under scrutiny, student Eva Rodrigues said, citing material the students gathered from Free the Children.
"Those children manufacturing soccer balls rarely have an opportunity to play those sports," she said. "Ten Thousand Villages sells fair-trade soccer balls."

Start getting the shelves ready in the library at St. Theresa Point School. And kids, get ready to read.
Ramona Harper, whose family are members of St. Theresa Point First Nation, is a 10-year-old Grade 5 student at Strathcona School in Winnipeg. She has attended school in St. Theresa Point and is likely moving back by summer.
"While I was over there, I realized that there weren't many books, and they were really easy to read," explained Ramona.
Ramona said the most challenging book for elementary school children was a book about the weather, while there was no fiction book more challenging than Cinderella. "I'm asking people to donate books here," said Ramona.
She said donors can also bring books to Bell Tower every Friday evening. That's the project to keep kids off the street, which begins with the ringing of the bells on Selkirk Avenue at 6 p.m., then moves into the Indian and Metis Friendship Centre for the evening.
"Next week we're going to have a round dance. We talk about keeping the North End safe," Ramona said.
Ramona is looking for any kind of books, including adult novels -- school in St. Theresa Point goes to Grade 12.
And getting them to the community?
"My dad told me that there's only one plane that goes up there, and it's called Perimeter. Or I can take a car and the winter road."
It may come as a surprise to people in St. Theresa Point there's a book drive going on for them in Winnipeg.
"I haven't talked to them yet," said Ramona.

It's somewhat fitting there's a small garden bed planted in the middle of a classroom in a school named Garden City Collegiate.
It's even more fitting because the school is helping to plant the seed in its students with several projects, knowing society will harvest the benefits in the years to come.
Today, 98 students from the high school will attend the second We Day Manitoba at the MTS Centre, a program aimed at inspiring youth to lead positive local and global change.
Almost a dozen of them went to last year's We Day and were so inspired they went to Kenya in April as part of We Day's partner group Free the Children, an international charity devoted to helping young people change the world.
"We helped build their 20th classroom and a library at a school in Kenya," 17-year-old Zachary Hares, a Grade 12 student, said on Monday.
Elsewhere in the school, 16-year-old Stephen Zabudney, a Grade 11 student, has organized the building of more than a dozen raised wooden garden beds to go behind the high school.
"There's a blank area there now," Zabudney said. "Any type of plant can go in there."

One important activity in analyzing a choice-making problem is structuring prior information into a model that reflects the reality of the decisionmaker's decision situation. The process of identifying and organizing the factors relevant to a decision situation into a framework that facilitates determination of the optimal course of action is called structuring. The structure of a decision model is limited by the extent of the decisionmaker's abilities to anticipate changes in the decision situation resulting from new information. Perspectives on structuring for decisionmaking follow directly from the systems engineering viewpoint and the steps of systems engineering. Choice making or decisionmaking is a vital part of the systems engineering process and depends critically upon the other steps for success. The primary intent and purpose is to continue the development of structuring aids for decision analysis and the integration of decision analysis with other steps in the systems engineering process. A case study of an investment decision problem in the beef production system is considered in order to illustrate the role of structuring in the decisiounaking steps of systems engineering.

Is this the end of nit picking, awful smelling shampoos and combing hair with a fine tooth comb? If the results from this recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine about lice treatments prove accurate, then it just might be the case.
In this study, researchers compared the effectiveness of an oral treatment of Ivermectin with a topical treatment of malathion lotion. This double-blind study was conducted over the course of 15 days and involved 812 patients.
The Ivermectin proved effective in ~95% of test subjects. The topical treatment was about 85% effective. So, maybe the oral treatment is the way to go (unless you are in the 5% of people where it didn't work).
It would be nice if this meant that a simple oral treatment could replace the difficult and time consuming standard treatments for lice, but this one probably won't. It is not 100% effective, not everyone can take the drug, and lice will certainly adapt. But if you've got a particularly difficult lice infestation to deal with, this could be the way to go.
Of course, there is a way that we could eradicate lice from the planet. Everyone, everywhere could shave their heads at the same time. That's right, everyone shaves their heads bald. Without hair on which to live and reproduce, lice dies. It would be the end of lice infestations forever!!
Shaved Heads to cure a lousy world.
So who's with me!?

New York, Miami, London, Copenhagen are some places I enjoy. When I want to feel extra good I spend my time with precious friends, cooking, reading and jogging with my dog. I live in a coastal town in Scandinavia and dream of having a "New-England-goes Miami-home"! Blogging helps me capture even more of each day, even though it's the weekends that I mainly blog about.

Lets assume that your entire organization had access to the following building blocks:
- Data: All sources of data from the enterprise (at rest and in motion)
- Analytics: Queries, Algorithms, Machine Learning Models
- Application Business Logic: Domain specific use-cases / business problems
- Actionable Insights: Knowledge of how to apply analytics against data through the use of application business logic to produce a positive impact to the business
- Infrastructure Configuration: High scalable, distributed, enterprise-class infrastructure capable of combining data, analytics, with app logic to produce actionable insights
Imagine if your entire organization was empowered to produce data-driven applications tailored specifically for your vertical use-cases?
Data-Driven Vertical Apps
You are a regional bank who is under heavier regulation, focused on risk management, and expanding your mobile offerings. You are seeking ways to get ahead of your competition through the use of Big Data by optimizing financial decisions and yields.
What if there was an easy and automated way to define new data sources, create new algorithms, apply these to gain better insight into your risk position, and ultimately operationalize all this by improving your ability to reject and accept loans?
You are a retailer who is being affected by the economic downturn, demographic shifts, and new competition from online sources. You are seeking ways of leveraging the fact that your customers are empowered by mobile and social by transforming the shopping experience through the use of Big Data.
What if there was an easy and automated way to capture all customer touch points, create new segmentation and customer experience analytics, apply these to create a customized cross-channel solution which integrates online shopping with social media, personalized promotions, and relevant content?
You are a fixed line operator, wireless network provider, or fixed broadband provider who is in the middle of convergence of both services and networks, and feeling price pressures of existing services. You are seeking ways to leverage cloud and Big Data to create smarter networks (autonomous and self-analyzing), smarter operations (improving working efficiency and capacity of day-to-day operations), and ways to leverage subscriber demographic data to create new data products and services to partners.
What if there was an easy and automated way to start by consuming additional data across the organization, deploy segmentation analytics to better target customers and increase ARPU?
It Starts With The "Infrastructure Recipe"
Ok. You are a member of the application development team. All you have to do is create a data driven application "deploy package". It's your recipe of what data sources, analytics, and application logic needed to insert into this magical cloud service which produces your industry and use-case specific application. You don't need to be an analytics expert; you don't need to be a DBA; an ETL expert; let alone a Big Data technologist. All you need is a clear understanding of your business problem and you can assemble the parts through a simple-to-use "recipe" which is abstracted from the details of the infrastructure used to execute on that recipe.
Any Data Source
Imagine an environment where your enterprise data is at your fingertips. No heavy ETL tools, no database exports, no Hadoop flume or sqoop jobs. Access to data is as simple as defining "nouns" in a sentence. Where your data lives is not a worry. You are equipped with the magic ability to simply define what the data source is and where it lives and accessing it is automated. You also care less whether the data is some large historic volume living in a relational database or whether it is real-time streaming event data.
Analytics Made Easy
Imagine a world where you can pick from literally thousands of algorithms and apply them to any of the above data sources in part or in combination. You create one algorithm and can apply it to years of historic data and/or a stream of live real-time data. Also, imagine a world where configuring your data in a format that your algorithms can consume is made seamless. Lastly, your algorithms execute on infrastructure in a parallel, distributed, highly scalable way. Getting excited yet?
Focus on Applications With Actionable Insights
Now lets embody this combination of analytics and data in a way that can actually be consumed and acted upon. Imagine a world where you can produce your insights and report on them with your BI tool of choice. That's kind of exciting.
But what's even more exciting is the ability to deploy your insights operationally through an application which leverages your domain expertise and understanding of the business logic associated with the targeted use-case you are solving against. Translation - you can code up a Java, Python, PHP, or Ruby application which is light, simple, and easy to build/maintain. Why? Because the underlying logic normally embedded in ETL tools, separate analytics software tools, MapReduce code, NoSQL queries, and stream processing logic is pushed up into the hands of application developer. Drooling yet? Wait, it gets better.
Big Data, Cloud, and The Enterprise
Lets take this entire programming paradigm and automate it within an elastic cloud service purpose built for the organization with the ability to submit your application "deploy packages" to be instantly processed without having to understand the compute infrastructure and, better yet, without having to understand the underlying data analytic services required to process your various data sources in real-time, near real-time, or in batch modes.
Ok...if we had such an environment, we'd all be producing a ton of next-generation applications.....data-driven, highly intelligent, and specific to our industry and use-cases.
I'm ready...are you?

O2 Pocket Hotspot
Likes # 0
Posted July 8, 2013 at 12:07PM
Two months ago, we purchased an O2 Pocket Hotspot.
When we started using it, it remained on 3G which allowed internet access
However, it soon became evident that it was switching more and more to 2G, and we were unable to connect to the internet.
We have contacted O2 but they say it may be a mast problem. The problem of course is that we are asked to pay £15 a month and cannot access the internet. O2 have credited our account with megabytes but since we cannot access the internet, we cannot use them!
I am hoping someone can help us. Thanks.

We have contacted O2 but they say it may be a mast problem
In my opinion it is a reception problem and you need to contact O2 again making it very clear to them that you cannot access the Internet - you are paying for a service that at the moment you are not getting.

I once took a similar ISP problem up with the local Trading Standards. Contact O2 and inform them that you are not getting the service that you expect and are perhaps paying for. there are certain parts of consumer law that should or would protect you here, with regards to contract obligations.
You will also find that 02 also belong to a 'trade body' who will take up your complaint, if 02 do not respond to your issue.

We have called O2 on several occasions but because we occasionally manage to get on line, be it for a short period of time, they say the problem does not lie with them.
The last time we called two days ago, they said they would try and write a report about the problem. In the meantime, we are left high and dry. They said they did not know when they would have a report ready.
Furthermore I am using a local wifi which is also not working very well. It has started throwing me off line and the message I am receiving is that THE DNS LOOKUP FAILED, whatever that means and to try and disarm my firewall.... I managed to go and look at my firewall files and it seems that just looking at them has allowed me to log on in order to type this message.
Thanks to all but I am in despair.

It would appear that 02 know there is a problem, otherwise why would they mention there 'may be' a mast problem. They either know there is a mast problem or they don't.
When you say they are going to write a report about the problem, does this mean that someone is going to write a report to an engineer to check if there is a mast problem, or a report to go on file?.
I think that you should insist that you have some answers, including informing them that you have a service not 'fit for purpose' under consumer law?.
You have already stated that they have credited you with megabytes you cannot use?.
