Remember the coal labor camps of the early 1900's where workers were brutally beaten and arrested if they didn't serve the company? Where even the most cooperative fellow would 'owe his soul to the company store'?
What's the difference nowadays with the way that major corporations treat their workers, and all in the name of serving the CEO's paycheck.
Many companies traditionally send their backup tapes or their shred bins or boxes of old files to an operator like Iron Mountain to store / destroy them.
I don't know what tradition you are used to, but all the clients I deal with that have over 25m market cap keep their storage at distributed office locations, or bank vaults that only 2 or 3 people have access to or know the account code of.
No law enforcement is getting in until after the arrests, by then it's all shredded.
Let's see, multiple clients from Real Estate, Banking, Brokerage, Legal, Publishing and Internet. I can't imagine ANY of them, or ANY one else, would want such easy access to their data. Most especially since it is employees who are likely to save stupid things in the wrong places. One fubar and your business is buh-bye.
Oh and not to mention, one of the clients is a big Cloud vendor. Guess where their real data is? Not on the cloud that's for sure. Fun little projects and laughable gifs, yes. But anything of importance is inside a very secure internal network of hundreds of servers and it's not moving from there anytime this century.
If you actually take the time to expand the categories you'll see that a few lines items could easily be moved around
Federal military and civilian employee retirement and disability 4.6%
This is listed under health care, but a major portion of it could be in the Military personnel salaries and benefits.
The line item for Veterans Benefits 4.1%
could also just as easily have been a sub-paragraph of the Military budget.
So if you wanted to read it differently, Health Care would be at 19.7% and Nation Defense would be at 35%
Now that's more like an American Government!
This was a poor anti-trust suit which didn't address the real problem at the time - Microsoft giving OEMs rebates for NOT installing other OSes. IE had very little to do with the bad practices at MS. In the interim, yes Google really has been much more anti-competitive in a myriad of ways, but nothing as prominent as Intel paying to NOT have AMD chips or Ma Bell charging you more because they owned everything.
This is why you need to build a "mobile web browser" as opposed to just a "browser". This is why Myriad, Isis and Polarity browsers were bought out - they provide a specific function for a select group of devices at the right power level with plenty of functionality. There's simply no way to put IE9 on most devices and expect anything pleasant to happen to your battery.
I have been using gaming mice for work, not play, for the past five years. It's not about comfort, it's about accuracy. I simply don't see a comparison between a deathadder and a standard laser. Pointer speed, direction, and movement are all better. Of course it makes a difference if you have a 30" screen with a 512MB graphics card and maximum resolution 2560x1600.
If you're on a 17" wide you aren't really going to notice bupkis.
As part of the special Verizon refund program, you have to scour your wireless bills (this could be up to 5 or 6 years ago) and provide the date and time of the text which signed you up for the service. If they were serious about refunds wouldn't they know who was charged and who wasn't? It's practically a joke.
(shortened version of the terms)
Be able to identify the charges for which you are seeking a credit or refund... know the name of the content provider/merchant behind the charges... also include the short code (the 5 to 7 digit “text to” number), and any other information identifying the charges.
Know when this charge first appeared on your bill.
Know the total amount of the refund you are seeking... provide the exact amount of the unauthorized charges...

I'll be back.
Designers are too concerned with keeping the game addictive to allow it to be fun.
Essentially half-cloudassed clouding.
So they can't failover like a normal ESX instance? So my cloud computer is actually just a rack in Virgnia?
It didn't happen. The cloud can erase history in a planck!

Everyday I get a corporate client asking me why they can't just do all their work on the cloud. Here's the perfect reason why.
I could have sworn I have seen this post before.
Great job, you are promoted!
It's a non-denial denial!
Just like a tattoo, except we'll all have "Trustmarkings"

I read this article to see if there would be interesting, surprising, or exciting information inside. Apparently not.
I have the right to teach Evolution in Sunday School?
Must be why Katie Couric left.
The statistics are misleading about the 1 in 26 people who sign in every day. It's actually the SAME 26 people you can't stand who sign in everyday.
But only 1 in 40 articles about Facebook on / are ever read.
This was the time period when Microsoft had decided to, as a Microsoft executive stated during the antitrust trial, "cut off [Netscape's] air supply".
So anytime a US company tries to beat another US company at the same game, that's anti-trust? I think that's actually the definition of competitive.
