I figured it would be more. But seriously, the system isn't rigged. It's that nobody has bothered to look how each party decides its nominee. After all, most people in this country probably think that we directly elect our President. We don't. We never have. We're not a true democracy and never have been.
The dangerous part is that there are people who think all of our elections should be direct elections decided by popular vote. They fail to realize why each state has their own process and why the electoral college was put into place. We are a union of states.
Nobody should be required to pay half or more of their income to a government. If a person/company wants to do that on their own, then that is their choice. But there's no way anyone can convince me that someone else deserves half or more of the fruits of my labor. And in fact, I think the top rate should be close to 25% with no deductions.
And surely Woz is smart enough to know that if tax rates are increased for companies that it will only raise the prices of their goods and services. Companies can't and won't absorb that cost of doing business.
This is not in defense of Apple. I don't care for them.
All Super PACs are terrible and need to be outlawed, they are just ridiculous.
I think most people are inclined to agree with that, however, everyone is guaranteed freedom of speech. Outlawing PAC's would be a violation of the 1st amendment.
The story specifically talks about PIN to PIN messaging using BBM. That is one SERVICE, not an entire DEVICE. So, they're able to decrypt a consumer communication, but nothing on the actual device or any other communications that BES is responsible for.
Does the rouge network need to dnsmasq time.apple.com? Or could this be accomplished by just passing on a DHCP option on the network to trust a local NTP server? Obviously setting up a dnsmasq makes the exploit more difficult.
Roughly have of the iOS devices that are controlled by my BES12 server are running versions older than 9.3.1.
If the IT department setup their network in a way that allows these devices to connect then the problem is the IT department, not the employee.
Correct. Anyone who is running a PSK wireless environment on their corporate network deserves what happens. Use certificates, AD membership, etc to authenticate.
Their latest promotion... Amazon Prime for $10.99 a month on your bill. I'll let you do the math in your head real quick. Sprint has totally lost their minds.
Unfortunately, most Americans will find that preferable than paying for it all up front. Especially when they see that $10.99 $99. It's our public education at it's finest!
We have enough data to assert that without question, unless you are a shill for the CO2 emitting industry or a jihad anti-climate change ideologist who uses this as a litmus test of blind allegiance.
This is where the disagreement occurs. Is climate change a normal occurrence? Or is it only occurring because of man's actions? Is it cyclical? Isn't this cycle very similar to previous changes in climate?
Modern environmentalism is a religion. It has deities, a set dogma, a clergy, heresy and excommunication, and even its own apocalypse (complete with punishment for sins).
Explain to me again why a home automation device that simply turns my lights on and off requires a company-owned server on the internet to operate?
I ask this question all of the time. It's happening everywhere and nobody really seems concerned that they have no control over the product they purchased or that a 3rd party is controlling items in their homes/businesses, or that a 3rd party has access to their networks and data.
IMO, that is exactly wrong with people today. Nobody cares about their own property, including their identity. They blindly follow the crowd to the cloud. All in the name of simplicity and coolness.
That one sentence clashes with everything else in the summary. It's not possible to track all of that information and not have privacy issues. If insurance rates will be based on driver miles and habits there's no way that it will be anonymized data.
Don't get me wrong - I think driver-less cars are probably the future and I realize that information will need to be gathered to make it successful. But I think we all disagree on how much information needs to be gathered and reported.
Can you show me a game-changing technology that was completely productive on it's first try? Many times it takes a few software updates or even hardware generations to become productive. This is also why many businesses are reluctant to purchase a brand new product that doesn't have much of a history. Can't blame them for being skeptical when money is involved.
All selling of personal information should be illegal unless the person agrees to it. It should not be required in order to use a specific service. And the person should compensated if their information is sold. After all, it is *their* information.
Is anybody really surprised how incompetent a central government is?
Programs designed to shorten security lines make then longer. Affordable Care Acts make health care more expensive. Patriot Acts take away liberties and are unconstitutional. Minimum wage increases that seek to help poverty costs millions their jobs.
War is a conflict between nation-sates. We are not at war.
This is the correct answer.
And to the GP (AC) - the constitution is to be followed at all times. Nowhere is it stated that the government is free to do as they please in an emergency.
Separate networks are definitely key. But how many organizations actually practice it? And if they do, are they doing it correctly? For example, are the network access points secured? Do they only allow certain MAC addresses on certain switchports?
This is where technology like Cisco ISE (I'm only a customer, not a vendor - and I don't have this product yet) would help reduce the attack surface for different areas of the network.
Providing access to BBM (a messaging app) is completely different than making the OS unsecured. BlackBerry doesn't allow access to the OS and neither should Apple. And even then, there are two different versions of BBM - the 2nd being an enterprise version where the organization can make its own keys to the encryption that even BB doesn't have access to.
It amazes me how stupid people are in this debate. There's no way a government should force backdoors into these devices.

This is why Outlook for iOS/Android is a bad idea: https://blog.winkelmeyer.com/2015/01/warning-microsofts-outlook-app-for-ios-breaks-your-company-security/
This is another example of governments rewarding/subsidizing bad behavior. It needs to stop.

Given that Android is the only mobile OS that actually allows phone manufacturers/carriers to change the default search engine or browser.
False. BBOS and BB10 have allowed the carriers to change the default search engine for several years - even before Android was around.
Good thing we sleep at night! You lackwit!
More and more of the workforce is working at night. We live in a 24/7/365 economy now.

Correct. Anyone who is running a PSK wireless environment on their corporate network deserves what happens. Use certificates, AD membership, etc to authenticate.
Yeah, because nobody is scamming the government for funds.

Clearly climate change is happening.
Most likely. Very few people disagree with that.
We have enough data to assert that without question, unless you are a shill for the CO2 emitting industry or a jihad anti-climate change ideologist who uses this as a litmus test of blind allegiance.
This is where the disagreement occurs. Is climate change a normal occurrence? Or is it only occurring because of man's actions? Is it cyclical? Isn't this cycle very similar to previous changes in climate?
Modern environmentalism is a religion. It has deities, a set dogma, a clergy, heresy and excommunication, and even its own apocalypse (complete with punishment for sins).
The only thing missing is the smug farts.

If the machines existed today, they'd be purchased; regardless of the minimum wage.
Not if the machines cost more than minimum wage.
Exactly. There's a breaking point. And California just passed it, apparently.
Robots aren't needed.
Menus will be replaced with touchscreens. All orders will be automated. Replace a waitstaff of 15 will a serving staff of 3.
