It also exposes the hypocrisy of the right. They both argue that these folks take jobs Americans don't want. The truth is that these folks accept wages that Americans won't for those jobs. It benefits businesses because illegal immigration and very liberal immigration policies put downward pressure on wages. Somewhere there is a balance between what is fair and what is best for the economy, but neither side cares what that is.
Let me clarify - the feds only fine you if you really screw up and drag your feet fixing it. Most disclosures are incidental or accidental or an employee or contractor who misuses their position. If the company has policies and training, takes corrective action and cooperated fully, they don't normally get fined. Nevertheless, the threat of fines keeps everyone on their toes. That doesn't mean our systems are nearly as secure as they should be, but at least you know people are worrying.
Different kind of violation. We get fined if we allow unauthorized access to someone else's medical records. That's different from not providing access to the person who the records are about. Obviously we don't publicize it when it happens unless there has been a breach of a system (like in Tennessee in the past year). We do have to notify the individuals whose records were exposed.
I work for a health insurance company. HIPAA fines are not unusual. It's strictly enforced. Our potential liability for a breech due to gross negligence or willful conduct can run 10's of millions of dollars.
I don't know why some idiot scored you as "informative". There is more to content creation than programming. Development may not be possible on a tablet, but you certainly can create a lot of other content. Diagrams, documents, artwork, video, music, etc. Want a physical keyboard? Well just like a Surface Pro you can select from a variety of keyboards. Mine is part of the cover, real keys, lasts 40 hours of use and recharges with microUSB. Personally, I'd prefer an ultrabook because I do development and I'm a geek, but for most people tablets like the iPad fit their needs very well.
Quite relevant because what matters is the true count of useful applications - not the filler. By your reckoning (1:1000) that means RIM has 15 useful applications for BB10. Nothing to brag about. I've got 4 times that many very useful iOS apps on the devices I own and I've just scratched the surface. Android using friends of mine have dozens of useful apps on theirs.
And you haven't read. Did you notice the qualifier "with different semantics"? The difference between Objective C and C++ is that Objective C is a strict superset.. In Objective C both Malloc and New assign memory in the same way underneath and clean it up in the same way. Malloc and New in C++ don't. If you "return" in C without releasing your C++ object allocations you'll they will stay and you'll have a leak. Not so with Objective C. In any case you've missed the entire point that C code can be used everywhere and no other language is nearly as ubiquitous and free (as in beer). The point about Objective C is that you can do almost all of your IOS programming in C. Objective C doesn't add much and what it does add works that same way underneath the covers.
When you do a malloc in C you are getting memory assigned to you differently than it is with a C++ new. The semantics of "return" in C do not clean up your C++ objects and vice versa. Read the link. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/6555/To-new-is-C-To-malloc-is-C-To-mix-them-is-sin Not so in Objective-C as the following link discusses: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1150650/is-it-ok-to-use-classic-malloc-free-in-objective-c-iphone-apps
Similarly, fields in a struct in C are contiguous. In C++ there is no such guarantee though often it is true. C++ is also a more complex run-time than C. The point is that you can write C and use it anywhere. You can write an iPhone app almost exclusively in C syntax. You can't get a free C++ compiler on every platform.
'C' is the lowest common denominator. With 'C' I can write code for anything and everything. Mainframes, embedded devices, mobile, etc. Objective-C just extends C so it is more "pure" than C++ which introduces additional notations with different semantics and implementations such as memory allocation. So I can code for iPhone mostly in 'C'. I can write 'C' libraries and link them in on applications for iOS, Android, mainframe COBOL, Mac OS/X, any *ix operating system, Windows (including.NET), etc. It's the one language that is highly performant, ubiquitous and interoperable with every platform and language I can think of. Its almost always available for free.
You've not understood what I wrote. My entire argument is that what is done "in the name of the church" is not the same as what is "done by the church". There is also a difference between purposely seeking the deaths of people and deaths that result from a well meaning but misguided policy. Please go back an read the comment you're responding to.
Why must the crimes of "members" of a church count against the church? Is every nation or group evil and guilty when members of their 1% criminal class commit mayhem? Your are confusing the actions of people who happen to be or call themselves members with the officially sanctioned acts of church representatives. Not the same. You can blame the Pope for the pedophiles in the Church once they're actions became known to him, but you can't blame him when some lapsed Catholic walks into a McDonald's and starts shooting even if he claims "God told him to do it".
Things done "in the Church's name" are not things "done by the Church". People misuse religion and other belief systems all the time. How about politicians who do things "in the name of the people" when they are really just serving a few buddies? Same thing. Stalin killed in the "name of the people" and to "advance socialism". Do you believe he was sincere? Is socialism really about mass murder? (Hint: no.) BTW, which "Church" are they talking about? There are many. None of the Christian churches or all of them together directed the deaths of millions of people. Sure some thousands were burned at the stake or tortured during various inquisitions and pograms, but those were really for the benefit of various secular rulers. I can't think of any other religions guilty of millions of deaths either.
That's not an "enthusiast" in my book. Besides, your solution requires 2 computers a tablet and a computer. The tablet can do all what you've described. So why do you need a computer? Oh yeah, those "enthusiast" activities that include tricking out a powerhouse machine of your own creation (assembly actually). Enthusiasts have bloody hands from all the little solder points cutting into the skin. They think about matching memory chips and overclocking. Maybe a pair of video cards with multiple monitors,...
Excuse me? It is the judge who rule what is or is not admissible, not the plaintiff or the defense. You mentioned an exception "Unless the Facebook contains the phrase..." - an admission that it is possible that relevant evidence is there to be found. So how are we to know whether her Facebook page does nor does not contain that phrase? How are we to know whether or not she has posted comments about her love for this supervisor or bragged about her sex life with him or whatever? Who should determine whether or not there is something admissible and relevant if not the judge? Certainly not the plaintiff. False allegations are made all the time. The defense has the right to demand all relevant evidence that may help it. Its the duty of the judge to be fair to both.
The insidious implication of this ruling is that there is likely to be evidence in someone's Facebook or email. that pertains to a sexual harassment case, sight unseen.
You didn't read the article did you? Sight unseen? Of course it is sight unseen.. That's why the judge wants to see it - not to pass judgement on the case but to determine if there is anything there that will support the defense - as the defense alleges there is. If the judge finds that whatever is there is irrelevant then the defense cannot get access to it. If the plaintiff wants to avoid this then she can drop her complaint.
The judge will be determining if there is anything on Facebook relevant to the case. If so he'll let the defense see it. If not, they won't get it. That's what judges are for. Seems fair.
Wait a minute. This article was posted by a department of the government. Why would they lie or distort? Is it just because they report to politicians who are beholden to agri-business that benefits from this conclusion and the fact that this particular department exists to server agri-business? Have you no faith in the inherent decency of man?
Who are we? "We" are in a cold war conflict with Iran. We are trying to keep this from escalating into a hot war by imposing sanctions to pressure Iran into complying into agreements they have made - nuclear non-proliferation. Their leaders have threatened attacks on Israel, the U.S. and others. They have been engaging in terrorist attacks across the middle east directly (Quds Force) and through proxies (Hezbollah). They have threatened Israel with annihilation. Israel thinks Iran will try to destroy it if it gets nuclear weapons to they think they must attack now in order to avoid a nuclear war later. "We" would prefer that they not do this but we understand their concerns so we've asked them to hold off and let the sanctions work.
A web-based application works in Firefox, Safari, IE, Chrome, etc., on desktops, laptops, net-books, Linux boxes, etc.
Not automatically they don't. A UI for a desktop doesn't work so well in Mobile especially over 3g cellular. There are all kinds of browser incompatibilities still. HTML5 is still not finished and support on the desktop is far behind the mobile browsers. Got plug-ins? Web-based applications have issues even when the OS is the same because the browsers may be different. This can all be overcome, but so can the issues with native clients. It's always a trade off.
I'll use this when hiring so I can get a team that shares my values. Interview questions:
Are you a Republican? Yes? Take a hike.
Are you a Democrat? Yes? Take a hike.
Are you an Independent? Yes? Obviously you can't make decisions, take a hike!
Are you an anarchist or libertarian? Yes? I don't need folks with authority issues. Take a hike?
Are you a Communist or Fascist? Yes? Let's do lunch. I want to see if you bend to my will.
Socialist? If you are hot and female, let's talk. No I'm not hiring you because you'll want awards for showing up.
OK, who is left? No one? Damn, you just can't find qualified people any more.
