If they would have even hinted at bringing back the normal desktop, it would have been big news. Well, at least they didn't mandate ribbon menus on all applications written for Windows. But then, until they ditch Metro, I'm afraid that enterprise adoption will remain a little slow...
Oh great, now we'll be forced into another "upgrade we don't want" because Microborg refuses to support anything previous.
Thus, having a software that "innovates" may offer us some "re-application of technologies", but it won't give us new ideas
Here's an innovative idea. Have mechanical and electrical engineers serve 8 to 10 years residency in their respective fields in maintenance ( much like a medical doctor ) so they can grasp concepts like working in conjunction with other people. Too many times I have heard when an engineer's project doesn't go according to plan, maintenance will fix it. It's not the responsibility of maintenance to make the engineer's project work when even the engineer can't do it. I have had to train engineers that come into the "field", that there are other people out here as well. More than once I had to calmly ask an engineer to slowly remove their hand away from an energized 970 volt bus bar because they didn't think it necessary to contact the operator/maintenance person responsible for the equipment. I have had engineers laugh at me when I make simple suggestions to make their job easier only to have them thank me later, after wasting three months doing it "their way". After 40 years in operations/maintenance field, it never ceases to amaze me that some people do not grasp the difference the text book case and the field realities.
Now if the DHS is a trusted system to banking, infrastructure, utilities, etc then all your enemies have to do is compromise the DHS and they get the keys to everything.
DHS is the compromise, they have access to all your records, the question is, how do they get the children to spy on their parents?
The planet was here before people were, If an area is to be classified, prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to the area. Does the use of recconasence satellites violate international treaties?
If you have physical access, you can do bad things. Is this really news or simply fear mongering?
Is a stolen llaptop really stolen or is it a honey-pot waiting to be tasted? You make the call. Just because I have lojack in my car ( or computer ) does not necessarily mean that I put lojack stickers on it. Let the bastards find out the hard way, when the cops come busting through the door. Thou shalt not steal.
But they sure know how to fix their Vatican bank accounts, retirement accounts, and their non-Obamacare health accounts. All these CONgressMEN seem to be no accounts. Next election, vote for Bozo the clown, someone qualified to do the job.
Ancient Mars decided to go down the Austerity path, and thus life never progressed and never got out of the dinosaur age.
Not really, they had politicians just like this planet and look what happened. In fact, or not, they are probably the same politicians exploiting the next planet du jour.
Banning porn, like drugs, alcohol, weapons only profits the criminal element and their exorbitant prices. This is also a two-edged sword, make money from an illicit trade and then prosecute the users for more money. The government has learned well from the criminal element. Most bans are for behavior modification, do this but not that, or else. Cha-ching. What is needed is an understanding of why something is banned. Answers like it's for the children or national security are just jingoistic catchphrases which may or may not have credence. If you cannot understand the logic of a situation, then follow the money, you may be surprised where it leads.
What could possibly be in my medical records that they don't want me to know about?
The answer can be found in the first four words of the heading, most doctors don't think. They do what Big Pharma tells them to do. Input from the patient is non-productive.
Indeed. But this person has neither honor nor compassion and is unfit to wield any kind of power. The real problem is however how somebody so messed up can make it into this position.
Friends, Romans, Firefly fans, Are these not honorable men?
I'm immediately reminded of the opening scene in "Serenity" where The Operative is describing to the admin official how, in the old days, when someone failed so completely, as he had, that they would commit suicide. The official retorts about being in a more modern era or some such and The Operative... helps him do things the way they used to.
I believe he said, "Fall on their sword." But the official proclaimed he didn't have one, whereby the Operative offered his. If you wish to quote Firefly, you need to get it right. River Tam rocks!

No matter what you trade, if it has value, the state will look to control it's function.
As if the federal reserve and the oligachy banksters have legitamacy.
Unfortunately, I have to agree.

It would be illegal in the US anyway thanks to the FAA.
It wouldn't be illegal if it were for national security or for the children.
Agreed. The government is all about fiscal accountability and doesn't waste money or spend money it doesn't have.
What planet are you from? Was your flight long? Would you like to rest a spell before we tour the city?
I mean: nobody is so crazy to waste citizens' money....
(grin)
Brought to you by the people who supported the banksters and their gambling addicted wallstreeters. Get a clue, please.

"I'm from the government and I'm here to keep you safe."
Wh-wh-what? You mean it's not for the children or national security?
For an ionic liquid there should be no charge.
A liquid that flip flops back and forth? Squeeze it out of the politicians and reduce the price a thousand-fold.
Corporate goons and their corporate henchmen have more power and influence than the patriot citizen has.
See how Nikola Tesla did it, but do the same without the likes of Edison, big money, banksters, corrupt politicians, in other words, you're doomed!
Plenty of bears I am sure. Hopefully we are the biggest and meanest of them.
It's not the bears I'm worried about but the snakes and wolves. As for the biggest, meanest and the smartest, I unfortunately doubt it.

Business quality meets government efficiency.
That's no glitch, it's a feature filled app.
If they ban porn, you could become a pedophile preist. There don't seem to be any laws ( that have any teeth ) against this.
"We are not hacking. Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time."
(Guard 2 whispers): "Are they leaving?"
"I told them we weren't hacking." (Both snicker.)

Can you spell "Minbari"? ;-)
Can you spell, Sith?
Finally a solution for people without any backbone.
Now if they can perfect brain transplants we can finally fix Congress.
They did, just open a can of Spam. The hard part is giving them a soul that doesn't die on contact with such corruption.
It would be the honorable thing to do.
