In the US a family of four with an income of up to $82k can qualify for free state provided health care for children. Why is the government providing free health care for families that are perfectly capable of paying for their own? There are many other entitlements like this that need to go away. We're talking tens and hundreds of billions that could be slashed and start eating away at the debt.
Really, I'm finding that you westerners are really paranoid about security holes and what-not. Here in the third world we have multitudes of computers running unpatched (often pirated) versions of windows, yet somehow our civilisation is still progressing, there's no imminent danger of us having an information technology meltdown just yet.
What do you think drives the botnets around the world?
Uhm, you've missed the "Enterprise" topic here. SOHO has it's own problems, sure. However, most major vendors have had router and firewall support for some time.
While that is true I have several network printers that do not support IPv6 and I really don't want to replace them. As long as my print servers will take requests from IPv6 clients and push the print jobs to the printer using IPv4 I guess I won't have a problem.
Obama keeps talking about plans that he has offered. Where are they? What are the specific details? As far as I can tell there are no plans from Obama. Obama loves to speak in generalities (like most politicians) because then he can't be held accountable for his words and actions.
I think the American people are starting to understand that Obama isn't anything special. He's no different than any other politician. He's not the great uniter. He brought a dirtier style of Chicago politics to Washington D.C.
It really is depressing knowing that no matter who I vote for, they always end up corrupt. It really makes me wonder why I should give a shit.
And again, do you really tihnk that NASA would allow its astronauts to fly on a private spacecraft which had such an appalling casualty rate?
It doesn't matter to me where the astronauts are coming from as long as we resume the flights. Hell, NASA lost people in the Apollo program too - that failure rate was 1 in 17.
There's no shortage of people who want to be on these missions.
Talk to me when the car is being launched in to orbit or doing re-entry, THEN we will compare notes.
That's irrelevant. In what other mode of transportation would a 1 in 60 chance of losing the vehicle and crew on every use be considered acceptable?
And do you really tihnk that NASA would allow its astronauts to fly on a private spacecraft which had such an appalling casualty rate?
If 1 in 60 causality is really an unacceptable number for dangerous travel then we wouldn't have populated the western half of the US. And that was on the ground.
ActiveSync still doesn't have the same features as BES. It is still years behind.
And in case you haven't heard, it is becoming much more common for small and medium companies to provide employees a hardware budget for them to buy personal computers for work purposes, then provide a VPN/remote desktop for secure access to company resources.
In this economy there aren't many small & medium companies who are willing to pay for two machines (virtual or physical) for each employee. Hell, I have a hard time getting my employer to replace desktops within 7 years.
But how do you manage those devices? Like the OP said, businesses and government like centralized management of devices. So far RIM's BB wins that feature category and its not even close.
Just because someone has a smartphone for a personal device doesn't mean that they should be able to use it to access the business network. Users aren't allowed to put their home computers and notebooks on the company network. Why would mobile devices, with shady privilege practices be any different?
If the company that runs legalzoom.com does not have a physical presence in Missouri, then how can they be sued under Missouri law? Does every website operated within the US have to meet the requirements of all 50 states plus federal law? Or do websites only have to meet the state (and federal) requirements where they have a physical presence?
ah, they have made the tablet fit for the enterprise and followed a simple recipe:
- make it great for the system administrator - put outdated heavily modified software on it that likely will not be updated with a newer version - put in the option to limit it severely, which the administrator likes, but the end user will hate - make it extra bulky with a small screen - make it more expensive - add a particularly ugly docking station
So, make something less convenient to use for more money, and it'll sell very well in the enterprise world.
So you're advocating that devices used in the enterprise should not have any user restrictions whatsoever? Users should be able to install any apps and expect it to work with the existing hardware software. Is that right?
Only from Vista onwards. Although it is possible to disable autorun in XP, it has to be done on every individual station - you can't do it via group policy.
According to KB 967715 it can be done in 2000/XP/2003 and newer via GPO's in the domain.

From an IT standpoint. Blackberry Enterprise sucks. Bailing on that is a must.
1. You need to install a server software to integrate with Exchange (unless you reroute all your email to some internet email service) 2. Not suppose to have Exchange and BES on the same server, so one more point of failure. 3. Said server requires....is it Java, Kerberos, and mixed Server OS environment combination that's broken? I don't know, I stopped trying to fix it. RIM didn't have a good explanation and their ultimate solution sucked. 4. Not fully integrated with Exchange, Exchange's mobile policy's don't push to it. Blackberry Server has it's own mobile policy I guess
Smartphones that talk to exchange are wham, bam, thank you ma'am. For BB, if you have the Java,Kerberos, mixed Server OS issue, you can't add new phones. If you can't get into your exchange server to do the MINOR configuration, you have bigger problems then not adding a new phone.
The only thing I wish they'd port to Exchange-capable phones is, RIM doing token/serialized authentication, removing the need to redo password on the phone each time it's changed.
In other words, you haven't read any documentation on the BB environment. Besides, BES supports more Exchange features than ActiveSync. And yes, BlackBerries have their own policy settings separate of Exchange with much, MUCH more control over the devices. This is something you would know if you would have actually read something about the BB platform.
There would be LESS variation than now. Now you get the variation that put the old clocks out of synch then more variation to put them back in synch. With this change the second lot of variations wouldn't happen.
That's not what the article says. "The group that oversees the U.S. power grid is proposing an experiment would allow more frequency variation than it does now without corrections, according to a company presentation obtained by The Associated Press."

I would do a WHOIS first. You can't be too careful these days.

Yea, because in a company with thousands of desktops we want to physically touch every computer that needs an upgrade.
What is this, 1990?
Might as well get rid of HR, accounting, payroll and other departments who enforce company policy too!

Hopefully it was more than $700B. They should've charged interest and made money.

Sure, we do that, but in the US we used to only open the envelope from Haliburton.
Yeah, because Obama would never do that, right? After all, he wouldn't break a campaign promise, would he?
One word. ActiveSync.
ActiveSync still doesn't have the same features as BES. It is still years behind.

How does encouraging underwear bombs protect your rights?
Think of the children falling from the sky.
There is a price to be paid for living in a free country. To me that means not having my liberties taken away which I realize can put me in harms way.
Give me liberty or give me death - it still rings true today.
Why would you bother configuring Blackberry email forwarding if you can have an IMAP client?
MAPI > IMAP in the enterprise. Why would any business user choose only email vs email/calendar/contacts/notes/etc?
But how do you manage those devices? Like the OP said, businesses and government like centralized management of devices. So far RIM's BB wins that feature category and its not even close.

Since integration into Exchange, which is the big deal, isn't all that hard any more, the limited lock in that RIM had is gone.
If integration with Exchange isn't a big deal then why can't ActiveSync give the iPhone the same capabilities as a BlackBerry with BES?
Just curious.
