Beware of april 1st announcements

Normally what is understood shouldn�t have to be discussed, however, sometimes a reminder is in order particularly with April 1st just around the corner which means "April Fools".

With that in mind, here's a list of things to watch-out for or be ready to question regarding announcements and news on or about April 1st. Come to think about, this list is probably just as relevant most of the year anyway! Industry First

Revolutionary

Industry Unique

Industry Leadership

Record Setting

So Easy our CEO can use it

Worlds Fastest

Unlimited Scaling

Best in Class

Greenest Software or storage

Virtual Virtualization (VV)

Grid 2.0

Grid 3.0

Some technologies not to be fooled by:

RAID 69 Based disk storage (It�s a dual parity scheme optimized for distributed parity across both the northern and southern hemispheres using counter rotating SSD) to address your power, cooling, floor space and environmental (PCFE) issues. If it shows up in a green color be very skeptical!

Grid 2.0 Storage - A repackaged USB based storage with two (Grid) processors to manage 1.5TB of data on your desktop with optimal wNFS (NAS over WiFi) support.

SDD Technology - Self Deleting Data � Not to be confused with some type of virus, the marketing pitch will be "Show me your lost data and we will show you data you did not need" - CAGR expected to be 1,234% with a TAM of quad-zillions over next 3 years with a probability of .88% based on preliminary survey results. Watch for vendors with early proof of concept prototypes to quickly re-label their technology that was previously tagged as lacking data integrity to become industry leaders and industry unique in this new category of data and storage management.

Rest assured there will be many others�

Have a safe and happy April 1st and

Don�t get fooled again.

Re: Buy An Established Affiliate Marketing Website Re: Buy An Established Affiliate Marketing Website - Hi David and GT, thanks for posting this here. My site is going for way below value and will be a great deal for someone. The links provided are a great resource for anyone looking to buy and sell websites. The Internet is all about information and you can know what you are getting before you buy. It's a little better than days past where it was "Buyer Beware". Steve
Re: Should the TTC install guard doors for customer safety? Re: Should the TTC install guard doors for customer safety? - tough question... You have to weigh the "Cost" side of things to "public concern". your right? what has been the probability of the occurrence. I think I can remember more times people jumping onto the tracks themselves rather than being pushed. The TTC does a good job of reminding you over and over again via the intercom with their public announcements to stay clear of the "Yellow line". I can see it being an issue during rush-hour when there are so many people on the platform (being quite narrow in quite a few stations that one tends to more closer and closer to the tracks as it gets busier. Personally I think it's not necessary and the money can be spent wisely on improving bus frequency and training "some" of the staff in being more polite (especially to tourists and me).
