How's all this "hope and change" bullshit working for you Obama supporters? He was supposed to close Gitmo within a year of taking office. He promised. I guess he's not a different kind of politician after all.
Now he has expanded his war on terror, crossing boarders, using more drones, signing terrible NDAA's, etc. How is this any different from Bush, other than the fact that the US media refuses to report on it? The media no longer notifies of us soldier or innocent civilian deaths. How convenient.
But wait - look over here!!! The White House is no longer giving tours because teh evil Repubers won't let us spend any money!!!
When I worked at Comcast we used to strong arm all the locals by simply not carrying them if they demanded any money. we would just replace their channel with a black screen that says "WZPX is trying to extort money out of you and raise your cable bill. Call them at 888-888-8888 and tell them how you feel"
It was usually about 3 days and the station would call back and say they were ok with us carrying them for free.
What you are describing is "must-carry" status. If a station labels themselves as "must-carry" then they cannot demand compensation from the cable or satellite provider. However, many of these stations are changing from must-carry status to retransmission consent status where they can charge for their content. Since many of the commercial must-carry stations are usually affiliates of nation-wide broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc) they have realized that they can make more money by charging fees for their content instead of advertising being their only source of revenue. We are seeing more and more of this with media groups like Sinclair changing their stations' status from must-carry to retransmission consent. Consumers don't like their bills going up, but they also don't want to lose the local news/weather and national programming.
Are generally found to be distortion and a roll off of high frequencies when one bothers to take apart the actual music reproduction.
Some people have become accustomed to these artifacts and so prefer them.
The only real antidote is to go to live music performances to hear what they really sound like.
I'd recommend that for people used to modern pop recordings too. I think many would be shocked to hear what they are missing in the horribly compressed and otherwise doctored up recordings that are sold today.
While I generally agree with your statement, many of the modern live pop bands do the same thing live that they do on recordings. It's a shame that the live performances are just as doctored as the recordings are.
I thought with all of the sequester scaremongering from Obama that we didn't have any money left. At least that's the reason given for the furloughs days for employees....even though we are still spending more money this year than last year.
But they can't say they are canceling the armistice then continue to comply with the armistice.
Why not? Just because they *appear* to be complying with a contract does not mean that they are following a contract. Maybe they aren't interested in physical combat and instead start attacking vital systems of South Korea, US, etc. Wouldn't that be the same thing?
Well, technically the article only says that the large amount of data could be created. It doesn't say that all data created is sent over a network. I would guess that the system doesn't send all data, and the rest of the data could be downloaded once the plane has landed.
"She reports that the program, which is attempting to replace the multiyear product drops for the Windows-branded desktop, server, phone, and network services products with a more agile release cycle, with better continuity across the suite"
This is just plain retarded. Why have "agile releases" of corporate software? We can barely afford to upgrade server OS and applications every 5-10 years including all of the time/labor for the upgrades! Now they are going to release Server OS, Exchange, etc every 12-18 months? I call bullshit.
Hell, Microsoft can't even have their flagship Exchange 2010 product run on Server 2012 yet....and that is 6+ months after Server 2012 was released. Now I'm supposed to believe that Microsoft will have interoperability between 5-10 server releases with 5-10 different flavors of Exchange, SQL, etc?
I can't even imagine trying to manage that mess - it's difficult enough now.
Unsurprisingly, the summary and TFA get it wrong. The vulnerability is not in devices. "Messaging Agent" and "MDS Connection Service" are server side components - the vulnerability is there, and not on the phone.
The phone can trigger them because web browsing on a BES-connected device goes through the MDS connection service, so a properly crafted web page can compromise the the MDS service on the server.
Similarly, sending an email will get routed through messaging agent - which is why a crafted email can trigger this without the email being opened on the client device.
I'm going to assume that most BES admins only use MDS connections for access to internal websites. So MDS should not really be vulnerable unless the company routes all web traffic through BES.
No Apple user I know and who has even basic knowledge of what malware is claims Macs are immune to malware. Even totally clueless 'drone' type users don't assume that. I know because a friend of mine has a small Apple shop and people regularly show up at his dealership and ask about infection risks on OS X and half the time they walk out with a free info booklet on malware and having bought a basic anti malware suite (he installs and configures it for free). This guy is just another nerdy zealot venting his irrational hatred of all things Apple. That "OS X is immune to malware and h4x0rs" mantra is so old it has whiskers on it and regurgitating it makes him just as lame as those sad plonkers who still spell Microsoft with a $ sign.
Come to my company. We have many users with Apples at home that swear to me that their Apples cannot get viruses, malware, hacked, etc... They all want to use them on the company network.
Popular vote is the only method to accurately capture the desire of the entire population. It does NOT mean only the coasts will be visited since every vote counts those 10 democrats in Nebraska and the 5 republicans in Vermont now count for a national win.
We are not a direct democracy and I pray that we never are.
Also, can you imagine a scenario with popular vote where we would have to recount every vote in the US? At least with the EC we can limit recounts to the state level.
The Electoral College gives us the benefit to *not* have a nation-wide recount in close elections. Can you imagine the chaos if we had to recount *every* vote in the US?
He's no longer with the company. He was part of the train wreck co-CEO management that refused to change. I see this nothing but good that he has nothing to do with the company now.
Of course the media wants to tear down a non Apple company. They are well on their way.
...which is what he should do, given the dubious legality of the prison camp to begin with. And yes, there will be people pointing the finger at him, but he has at least three excellent come back arguments:
1. Congress has had years to do something about this and has refused to act.
2. The camp is unconstitutional.
3. The camp does more harm than good.
The problem is we have a President who prefers to appear to be a wimpy appeaser of right wing extremists than be an actual liberal.
He's a wimp who refuses to uphold our laws - which is the primary function of the executive branch of government. It is almost like Obama and Holder go out of their way to not enforce laws on the books. If GITMO really is unconstitutional he should be using his DoJ to fight it.
Honestly, I feel like a sucker. If you believed the math on his tax plan worked, you damn well should feel like a sucker.
Do you think that Obama's tax plan (whatever that is) is working? Trillion dollar deficits have become the normal under Obama even though he promised to cut our annual deficits in half. He even said that if he didn't get this accomplished that he should only be a one term President. I guess that makes two promises broken in this example.
Like electricity to the home, in 100 years politicians will be taxing it.
Actually, it already is basically taxed - at least in the US. Most of the water systems are municipal operated. Call it a fee or a tax...the money is going to the government at some level.
Or, if you're not a total moron, you'll just run BlackBerry Mobile Fusion which can manage other platforms in addition to BlackBerry.
Good, Zenprise, etc. aren't even in the same league as BlackBerry when it comes to MDM. It's pitiful, really.
Cue the "Well, I don't need all those great features, so Good is good enough for my tiny needs. I don't like BB so it's okay to go with a half-baked solution!"
Yes. I didn't mention the new BES 10 that incorporates the traditional BES and Mobile Fusion in one software package. I was taking issue with the whole "BB needs a management server" bull shit. The reality is that you need a management server regardless of whatever platform you run.
Does it still need a BES server to interact with the corporate environment?
Newsflash: Any device using ActiveSync still needs 3rd party software to properly lock it down. AS is a joke. It is sad that Microsoft, Apple and Google are throwing these devices out there for the public to use without any means of managing them in a corporate environment. So now instead of using BES you have to go to Zenprise, Good, Dell KACE, etc. to properly manage ActiveSync profiles and protect company data.
Slashdot Mirror
Agreed. /. was impressive with its news coverage on 9/11.
This is news for everyone.
Especially since the Boston Marathon is an International event. It is International news.

No - only people with savings they can afford to risk can invest.
That's bullshit. All non-union private sector jobs have retirement accounts based on personal investment.

Well, technically the article only says that the large amount of data could be created. It doesn't say that all data created is sent over a network. I would guess that the system doesn't send all data, and the rest of the data could be downloaded once the plane has landed.
Now, if only they would rethink the Windows 8 mess on desktops.
If you think the Win 8 interface is horrible, just wait until you try Server 2012. Metro. On a server. For reelz.
Why? WHY???????
Nah, I'm sure it will work this time.

The problem with his analysis is that he assumes the hardware is free. Also, not many people pay a marginal rate of $0.066/kW-hr for electricity.
In Iowa we have very cheap electric rates of around $0.04/kW-hr. It makes running enterprise-grade gear at home easier on the wallet.
He wants everything to be cloud based and then worries about privacy? Sorry brah, you can't have it both ways.
