I believe they have stated or otherwise insinuated that the WDR from January 23rd is sufficient, and they will not be performing another prior to the initial launch. As for the de-stacking of Ship 24 that has occurred only to enable the Flight Termination System (FTS) after which Ship 24 will be restacked. This is in line with an April 17th launch date.

Business customers still retain all the capabilities of managing the deployment and activation of Windows features, settings, and updates.

An adjustment in the allocation of funds would allow counties to bring more road graders and operators online. Right now I believe they simply dont have the capacity to do proper maintenance on all of the level A roads on a frequent enough basis. This might also allow for the conversion of some state highway routes and level B roads to level A roads.

It might be reasonable to explain that its "free" as in "free trial" and even more clearly "CC for free trial with autobill". Being confronted with that after I allow the app to connect to my Dropbox account isn't the best imo.

I probably shouldn't have used such a initiative word like "will". That said scaling out PaaS compared to scaling out IaaS, specifically on Azure, is almost guaranteed to be less expensive from an infrastructure standpoint. Less actual VM's to manage also translates into less overhead from maintenance activities.

At the very least it will be interesting to see if more people adopt the Azure Websites PaaS offering. I know that right now most people dip their toes into Azure with IaaS because its historically more comfortable for them.

It will be interesting to see if Microsoft uses this to push their PaaS offerings. All too often people jump into cloud services with IaaS whereas the Azure Websites offering will provide a lower cost for run while allowing easier scale out, management, and tie-ins with other Azure services like Azure Storage (various types), HDInsight (Hadoop), and Azure Machine Learning.

My personal opinion is that there is a divergence product types between traditional AWS offerings and their new desire to break into traditional Enterprise offerings. The Workspaces and managed Directory Services are nods to the Enterprise space but they are currently getting more shakes of the head back rather than nods.

No, they are running Exchange 2013.

Car prowl reports are generated by social networks in Seattle. Everything from Facebook groups to community based Twitter accounts and blogs. Most everyone here knows that the Police will do nothing so they have turned to a method that basically tells people when prowl rates are up in their neighborhood. I guess at least then they might have a chance to look up their insurance policy info ahead of potential breakin activity.

Wonder if they will get a nastygram from Casio. "G-Watch" / "G-Shock".

Assuming that someone managed to not only walk off with the device from a retailer but were also able to gain access to the device itself. What kind of data could be harvested from the device?
