Nope.
Pretty much the only time I turn it off is if I drop it on the floor and the battery pops out.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

$99 a month seems in the ballpark for a dedicated server.
To host a website, I think that's standard, but I'm not sure it'll suit my needs. I need something that I can install VMWare on and run some tests 24/7, while others would be intermittent. This is why I'm a little dubious about EC2 as a solution.
Now I'm waiting for Rackspace to call me back.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bad battery life? All those free apps could be to blame
When I see the word "free" I'm always wondering what the catch is. Maybe this is it: Researchers at Purdue University have conducted a study in conjunction with Microsoft that showed in some cases up to 75% of an app's total energy consumption was spent on locating and powering up the app's third party advertising.

Dumb tech terminology question: is CAGR a commonly-used term when talking about information growth and storage? Or is it a case of the doc author thinking they're being clever but not spelling out acronyms?

Our wings are not tired.
I don't think of it as "tech"? We used it all the time in marketing to financial services industry at Oracle, and in that setting a definition wasn't provided.

This is very much in a context of information wrangling, storage, and scalability, and nothing to do with the financial industry. Which is why I went "Buh?" and googled the term.

Yeah, they totally need to spell that one out for the reader.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's not a term I know, if that counts for anything.
Or is it a case of the doc author thinking they're being clever but not spelling out acronyms?
Don't they always?

All is well that ends in pizza.
In Journalism school, they taught us to always spell out the first usage of any acronym. I wish that were the case for things that are to be read by people with a wide variety of experience.
