1) Stop requiring shit at the federal level. Education decisions should be made at the local and state level. You can require whatever you want in Chicago, but leave the rest of us alone. The federal government has a hard enough time doing the job that it is mandated to do in the Constitution.
2) Not everyone needs to know how to code. It's a waste of time. Not everyone needs to take shop class. Not everyone needs to take home economics.
I also ran Avamars (replicating to DR site). We struggled with the product's reliability and upgrades never seemed to work correctly. Some of the management was through the Java front end, others were using the Linux CLI. It all seemed very disjointed. Switched to Dell's Appassure about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. One management interface (website) and upgrades are pretty simple. Also much cheaper than Avamar.
One of the other issues I didn't like with Avamar was the licensing model. I bought the servers, but then had to pay again to utilize all of the storage available. This made it a very expensive backup solution. With Appassure I can attach as much storage as I want to the server and never pay extra.
No, I do not work for Dell or any of their companies. I'm just a satisfied customer with a solid team supporting me.
I have 11 years experience with Dell enterprise products and pay with Net terms all of the time. Even orders up to $100k. I have also used their financing. Never had a problem with with one. I have had many good account reps over the years that work with us to get us what we need.
Isn't their some law that gives border agents essentially unlimited rights to search and confiscate (no warrant required) so long as they are within 100 miles of any US border? I remember seeing something like that a few years ago and thought, gee, I wonder how many people live in houses that are within 100 miles of the border....
And how is it that this law trumps the US Constitution? Specifically the 4th amendment?
Features: LDAP connectivity (global contacts, groups), email, calendaring, meeting resources, tasks lists, public/shared folders, office suite integration, etc. Almost every company on Exchange uses all of these features.
It's ok to be a Microsoft hater. But get the facts right.
If they can take Android, which is open source, and create their own fork of it which is proven to be much more secure yet can still use the Android app eco-system, it could very well be a big hit when combined with good QWERTY phones.
Here's the problem: Android isn't 100% open source (at least the way I understand it). The first part is obvious: Google Play Services. This is not open source, but it is needed to run many of the apps. (this is also why I can't run some of the Android apps on my BB Z10) There are also many binaries included in the Android OS where there is no code available. Because of that BlackBerry (or any other company) cannot guarantee the security of the device running Android. So they cannot have a secure device like a BB10 device.
BlackBerry is doing what some of their supporters want: Great hardware (which is what BB is known for) running an OS with tons of apps.
BlackBerry will continue to develop the BB10 OS because they have many customers that demand it.
My disclaimer: I've had my Z10 since launch and I still love it. The BB10 OS is very well designed, fast and secure. I love it.
Almost all of the pirated movies that I have seen were stolen at the studio, not the theater. Some of them even had the production information still on the screen. And some of them were the complete DVD/Blu-ray movie package that was yet to be released.
The studios know their own people are stealing, but they keep blaming the general public.
Network switch? What kind? consumer? enterprise? I can shutdown unused ports on enterprise network switches. Does it still kill the switch if the shock is applied?
This article was clickbait and nothing more.
What's next? Aiming a water hose at a wireless access point?
I realize that most business models are usually wiped/imaged anyway, but this is more disgusting behavior by Lenovo. Stuff like this will keep me from buying and recommending their products.
Bull! It went down largely because factories drifted overseas, and nothing equivalent is replacing it on the same scale. Smarter machines and dirt-cheap overseas labor by desperate near-slaves are clearly biting into career options for high-school-level workers. Almost everything predictable and repetitious is drying up before our eyes.
And why did that happen? We inflated the cost of our labor through minimum wage (yes, there are jobs out there that aren't worth paying $5/hour) and by requiring people not to work in order to receive certain benefits from the government. We out-priced ourselves and made it comfortable to live off of the government.
Even wages among the educated have been stagnant of late. Education only delays the inevitable. The current economy hugely favors the 1%: it's a winner-take-all economy.
Wages are stagnant because the economy is stagnant. It's not growing. This is a direct result of government interference with the economy. Hell, look at the Fed's interest rates - 0%. There's barely any confidence out there in our economy. We are squeaking by at 0.5-2% growth. We need to be consistently at 4-5% growth for wages to improve and to get people back to work.
If you get in the 1% club you have the power to protect your turf. If you are outside the club, you have to grovel with the masses for the shrinking pie.
The 1% group is extremely fluid. People are constantly entering and leaving that group. Most are not life-long members. There's no evil plan to keep the rest of the population down.
Why do people think are entitled to other people's money?
We've already seen what numerous entitlement programs have done to the USA. Our labor participation rate is the lowest it's been in my lifetime and I was born in the 70s. This is what happens when you over regulate an economy, over legislate entitlement programs, and don't require people to be productive in order to live.
Are there people that are truly down and out through no fault of their own? Absolutely! Is it really half of the US population? (47% don't pay federal income tax) Hell no. Maybe 5%. Let's scale back all of the unnecessary entitlements and get people being productive and working again.

I don't have confidence in most things anymore: federal government, personal responsibility, etc.
Just add this to the list.
The UW's endowment is in excess of $2.3 billion. They will be just fine.
Stupid for two specific reasons:
1) Stop requiring shit at the federal level. Education decisions should be made at the local and state level. You can require whatever you want in Chicago, but leave the rest of us alone. The federal government has a hard enough time doing the job that it is mandated to do in the Constitution.
2) Not everyone needs to know how to code. It's a waste of time. Not everyone needs to take shop class. Not everyone needs to take home economics.

Don't they basically just rip off Cisco hardware and software?
Nobody is asking for free hardware. But I have never paid for a product in full before it has been put into production. No exceptions.
Copilot US support is still based in Minneapolis. I've toured the facilities. They brought me onsite to evaluate their product before purchasing.

I bought a Compellent system about 2 years ago and absolutely love it. Had a EMC CX4-120 previously. The Compellent SC8000 is solid.

Answer: class action lawsuit.
Unfortunately BB is moving away from removable batteries. I believe the Z30, Classic and Passport all have non-removable batteries.

False. They have had multiple outages in the last 5 years:
On April 20, 2011, some parts of Amazon Web Services suffered a major outage.
On June 29, 2012, several websites that rely on Amazon Web Services were taken offline
On October 22, 2012, a major outage occurred
On December 24, 2012, AWS suffered another outage
On September 20, 2015, AWS suffered another outage
Some of these were limited to one day, some were multiple days.

It happened during Fiorina's watch.
She hasn't worked at HP for over 10 years now. She can't be blamed for poor oversight of a project when she wasn't employed there.
P.S. Obamacare sucks.
Yep.

Shit like this is much more common than you think.
Never claimed to be the only hardworking American. You are making assumptions.

Slide to unlock goes back to a feature in Windows CE back in 2005. How Apple can claim this is their's is totally beyond me.
