It wasn't Bill Clinton's policy to spend his grandchildren's earnings either. He left office with the budget in balance.
It was George W. Bush's policy to spend that surplus on tax breaks for his billionaire friends, and then spend $3 trillion for a war in Iraq for the purpose of (what was it again?), most of which went to his no-bid contractors like Halliburton. Bush left us in debt that your grandchildren will be paying for.
The Tea Party is funded by the same loonies that got those no-bid contracts.
Bullshit. Clinton and the GOP Congress never had a surplus. It was *projected* but never realized. The US has had a deficit every year I've been alive and the debt has grown each year that I've been alive.
I've been out of the IT industry for a while, but is there any product that works like BlackBerry's Enterprise Serve (suite) for Android / iPhone / Windows Phone?
No and it is sad. There's nothing out there that comes even close to BES. Policy management on iOS, Android and Windows Phone is a joke. I struggle to keep my company's information private, but it's impossible. Once an iOS or Android phone has access to my company's ActiveSync then my company has no control over how that data is handled.
We're currently trying to use XenMobile, but it doesn't work either. I try to block access to iCloud. But then the employees can't backup their personal data. Very frustrating!
If someone has an alternative to BES then please speak up.
I know a lot of companies are telling employees to *not* upgrade to 7 until testing has been done. Of course, since security is so lax with iOS there's nothing that companies can do to actually enforce that policy. Unlike other real mobile OS's out there.
You've got to be kidding me. BlackBerry has been doing true multitasking longer than any other major mobile OS. BB's multitasking puts iOS to shame (which has basically no multitasking) and is only rivaled by Android's multitasking which came out *after* BB.
When will you learn? Discuss and debate bills first. And if you actually pass it make sure that everyone knows what the effects will be.
Seems like the liberals can't quite get this straight. Stimulus, Obamacare, IT services tax, etc... I guess Pelosi *was* right after all - we have to pass it so we can find out what is in it.
already RIM/Blackberry admits to backdooring. to operate in UAE, india, etc they have to have a back door. they make a joke of security and proudly admit it:)
The reactors were SCRAMed and would have been kept cool by the (redundant) backup generators for an indefinite length of time.
Ideally, you would safely shut down the reactors when running on generator. Running the plant any longer than absolutely necessary on generator power isn't the safest.
Why's that? My brother is self employed and his insurance premiums have so far doubled under the "affordable care act". I don't know mine exactly only because I'm under a group policy through work, though with the numbers they post for what my insurance is worth, that's gone up by roughly $1000 a year and I'm single, early 30s, non-smoker, and at 5 foot 10 and 170 lbs, not exactly obese. As another data point, I'm currently working on my masters, and we are automatically enrolled in the campus health insurance plan and have to waive it. It was $798 PER SEMESTER! And it's not what I'd call great coverage. When I did my undergrad it was like 200 a semester, and I graduated in 2006. Not like it was eons ago.
I'd say calling obamacare a cluster is quite accurate so far. Seriously, can anybody come forward and say that their insurance premiums are cheaper now? I heard that the minimum coverage in cali was estimated to be something like 340 a month for a family of 4. Thats pretty much a BMW car payment. Not what I call affordable.
$798 for 15 weeks? I'd take that in a heartbeat. My employer's plan costs me $2,500 for that same time period.
What I feel is needed is a true 3rd party, not 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th parties, such as Green, Tea Party, Libertarian; we need an agreeable third party that can compete against the two majors without a lot of interference from small parties. We need a consensus third party.
Suggestion #5:
Replace the voting system. Plurality voting will always lead to the mess we have now.
4. Search data, https is no obstacle to a FISA warrant.
What are the chances that our mobile devices that run iOS, Android, BB, Win Mobile, etc have certificates installed (hidden) that allow the providers like Verizon to see all of the encrypted traffic? I know that this is possible because we have considered it at the office to make sure that all traffic is recorded with our web filter.
...but that you might not be able to control their spread.
And that's a problem because?
Jebus, you can't be THAT stupid can you?
Biotech company creates GMO product Biotech company decides *not* to bring GMO product to market GMO product starts growing in the wild uncontrollably GMO product starts infiltrating food supply
Now stop and ask yourself why the Biotech company decided not to take their very very very expensive research product to market.
Unfortunately, because of Republican intransigence in Congress, they haven't been able to build and launch a new bird..
Bullshit. The Dems had a supermajority of Congress in 2009 and 2010 and also held the office of the President. Why didn't they act then? Oh, I guess that doesn't fit your narrow-minded "republicans are evil and stupid" mindset.
Disney does not sell access to ABC and does not get subscriber fees for it either. Broadcast stations are split up into local affiliates. These are generally owned by companies like Sinclair. Sinclair might chose to require subscription fees instead of listing as a "must carry", but this is completely up to the affiliate and not the broadcast network like ABC.
A better explanation would be subscribing to ESPN without being required to buy ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN News, ESPN Classic, etc.
The U.S. needs a massive push for universal preschool, which is highly labor-intensive and expensive, but pays tremendous social dividends.
Don't tell me we can't afford it. This sort of investment in our national human capital will reap enormous benefits for the society and the economy.

The state of Iowa has offered free preschool the last few years. The cost of running these preschools has more than doubled during these years. I just love that government efficiency!
Also, I live in a blue collar town of about 26,000 with about 35-40% of the town receiving government assistance. Previous to the new state policy we had 96% of 4 year old kids attending preschool. Now with the "free" preschool option we still have 96% attending preschool.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes, the top rate was 90%. BUT NOBODY PAID 90%!!! There were all sorts of write offs, loop holes, etc and people paid close to what we paid today.

This.
I'm a BES Admin and end user and it is an excellent platform. It still offers more features than ActiveSync ever will.
It's damn near impossible for a company to succeed with 2 CEO's.

That's only BIS and not BES.

"the world's ocean levels dropped measurably."
"sea levels have been rising at a faster pace of about 10 millimeters (0.4 inches) per year."
So...which is it? Are the sea levels rising or dropping?
Why's that? My brother is self employed and his insurance premiums have so far doubled under the "affordable care act".

Just as a note, that's the EXACT same information every other state provides in an amber alert: city, car and license plate.
False. In Iowa we get a full description of the event and possible whereabouts when AMBER alerts are sent to mobile devices.
to be fair you're not running VMs on a phone/mobile unit.
Not yet. But it is coming. http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/mobile_virtualization-mobile_device_management-consumerization,1-34.html
VMware has been demoed several prototypes. It's coming, but probably not until battery life increases.
Get ready for the BOOM!
But seriously, I really hope that the iOS upgrade doesn't crash my Exchange server. I'm tired of the devices blowing up my logs.
I pay around 3.8-4.0 cents per KWh in Fort Dodge (north central Iowa). Iowa has very cheap electricity.

Yeah, let private industry do their own wild life and fish surveys and use the data to self regulate. What could go wrong?
Yeah, let's have government regulate government. Our leaders would never use an organization like the IRS to shutdown political competition.
See how that works?

Or does management take advantage of Google's outage by calling impromptu staff meetings?
And how would you notify your workers of these meetings?
