DHS has only EXPANDED even more under Obama. There is no opposition by the leftwing media exposing the increasing surveillance society like there was under Bush. This is part of the problem for today's (R) bad (D) good mentality.
Dozens of our Embassy's around the world are under siege and yet, the News is completely silent. If this was Bush, they'd have hourly updates on them. Hell, even Faux News isn't reporting it.
As for your assertions of Hitler and Stalin, I'll one up you and go Goebbels "Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth" And you're right, it is what people DO that matters, but why then are there no left wing protesters against Obama's Authoritarian Tendencies? It is because His is their kind of dictator, while GWB wasn't.
Poverty doesn't cause crime. I've been poor, I didn't commit crimes. I know plenty of people that are poor, and don't commit crimes. Excusing bad behavior on poverty is a huge disservice to the poor people who don't commit crimes.
We've had our "war on poverty" for two generations now, we have moved the "poor" goalpost, and yet, we still have "poor" because the nature of the moving goalposts. We still have crime. You can never get rid of Poverty, because what is Poor now, is not what was Poor 45 years ago. And if you want to see REAL poverty, go to any third world county and see REAL poverty. I don't feel sorry for anyone in the US or Europe that is "poor", for they are richer and more secure than 50% of the world.
Not just Cable, extra room in Conduit.Need 2" conduit, put in 4". Add an Extra empty conduit along side. Lots of Conduit Junction boxes. Lots of Power. If you need ONE drop, build four drops. If you need four, put in eight. Plan for IDFs in strategic locations along edges, even if you don't use them.
Plan for using VOIP and no standard phone lines. Plan for WIFI as well. Double your WAP count beyond what you "need", to provide better coverage. Plan for even higher density if you're going N. Use a Managed WIFI setup (I like HPs) the cost of the WAPs are 10x your Retail, but you get that back in manageability. Think Enterprise for everything.
Centralize your MDF for shortest Run. Meaning, put it in the middle of the building, not as a closet on one edge. Make sure you have Fiber pulled to each remote edge, just in case. Plan for 100Gbit Network now, built 10Gbit backbone, and Gig to desktop.
Plan your RACKs now. Build them in Visio, along with the rest of your data center. Put your datacenter with your MDF. Design the whole Network, plan for your VLANS, even if you don't think you need them. Based on your information I can see the need for at least three VLANs, probably more, already.
Did I mention, over build everything? You will use it. If you need 4 of something, and the boss usually gives you two, then triple or quadruple what you REALLY need. You cannot "over plan" or "over build" anything in IT.
The problem with "probable cause" is that there are too many "laws" that outlaw things that shouldn't be outlawed. Crime is what causes harm to others, and carrying a joint is not causing harm to others, period. Smelling like Marijuana is not "probable cause" that a crime has been committed. "Looking Suspicious" is not a crime.
Crime Prevention is, quite frankly, the road to tyranny. Want to "prevent crime"? Start by removing laws criminalizing things that cause no harm to anyone else, all those "crimes" will now disappear. Then, step up REAL punishment of criminals. Don't just lock them up in a comfy prison, make prison a horrible place to be. Make the prisoners earn their probation by working at jobs nobody else wants to do. Screw the panty waist "cruel and inhumane" designation for anything that doesn't cause real pain. Put tents up in the desert and a barbwire fence and call it good. If our Troops can live in that condition, then our prisoners can too.
This is bullshit. Carter, like Obama (and Bush, and Clinton, and Bush) were elected to LEAD. If any of them got on TV (with or without teleprompter) and started enumerating the issues with these things, and causing the deserved outrage, the congress would follow. It isn't that hard to change things for a true leader. But we don't have any such beast and thus we don't have the results we were promised.
Obama, for all the promise and hype, could have done something with this, and played golf and went on the view instead. Rock Stars don't lead, they expect people to follow. There is a difference.
Well, according to Obama, he (Sean Smith) was "just a bump in the road".
No, I'm not trolling, Obama really said that about the attacks and deaths in Libya. And yes, I do know the context of the entire quote.
Just sayin that if you want to make Mittens into a callous idiot, it is quite easy to make Obama into a Muslim Brotherhood loving Commie Pinko who doesn't care about his ambassadors. But then again, Obama get the pass, while Mittens doesn't.
And no, I am not voting for either of them, just giving some third party perspective about how "news" is covered by commentators. And while everyone was lamenting Mitten's airplane window comment, they flat out ignore Obama's "bump in the road" crap, which IMHO is about 20x worse.
How about consequences for failure? Like for instance, firing the top 3 levels of the Department with cause for non-compliance, starting with Big Sis. Followed by complete disbanding of the TSA and firing all the pretend-a-cops.Keep firing people until they either comply, or nobody works there. We tried the carrots, now its time for sticks.
The "20oz." glass holds "approximately" 20 ounces when full. I trust that the glass maker makes a proper 20 ounce glass, and that the bar fills it to logical capacity. IF anyone is to blame for selling 19 oz beers in "20 oz" glasses, it should be the people making the glasses, not the guy at the tap.
If you want to be a dick about things, why not simply require a fill marker on the edge of the glass marking the "full measured serving size" of the glass. But again, government policing of beer glasses is not my idea of "proper role" for government.
What eventually will happen, is that the glasses will be of "unspecified" capacity, and you'll buy a beer, and it if is too little for your money, you'll stop going there.
I've had certifications in the past. Those Certifications are 100% meaningless now, as the technology is gone and replaced. UNLESS I keep up on "certifications", those things are transient in nature, going into and out of style.
Further, most certifications are in a single vendor's products, and are completely meaningless when dealing with another vendor in the same area. Cisco makes good networking gear, and has all the certifications for that gear. How does that play out if I'm using Juniper or HP networking? Some of it translates, some of it does not.
Experience is key, if you can present your CV/Resume in such a way to target what you KNOW that is abstracted (presenting VLANS abstraction) then it Doesn't matter if you know that a "Trunk" in Cisco is different than one for HP. And this is key to getting the different types of gear to talk to each other. This is one thing that Vendor Certifications don't teach you, and one where experience is key.
Four, if you count getting the girl (guy) drunk enough to get them to have sex with you. I live in a college town, and that seems to be the #1 reason people get drunk, so that they can have sex with people they normally wouldn't have sex with sober.
You buy a beer. They fill the glass, you pay the price. Don't need no cops for this. We don't order beer by the PINT here, or by 12oz. We buy it by a glass, and we know that glasses have different sizes. My favorite restaurant has 20oz glasses, which they fill nearly to the rim, and I pay them for it, and drink it an not care if it is 0.25 ounce over or under. I don't care.
Why does everything need to be a freaking federal case?
That may be the case. However, how are we supposed to trust a software company that can't (or won't) create 64 bit versions of their tools at this point in time?
So, what you're saying is that Obama is a lousy leader?
Getting people to do things they don't want to do is what leaders are supposed to do. Making them feel great while doing it is what Great Leaders do.
IF Obama wanted to get ANYTHING specific done, all he had to do was say "America, I want this", make it reasonable and appropriate and it would have happened.
"I want to cut the deficit this year by 5% but cutting spending 2.5% and raising taxes by 2.5% ". Cutting spending(R)s get behind. Raising taxes (D)s get behind. Let congress figure out how and where to do both. Anything that came from that would have been "OBAMA". But all he said was "Rich White People need to pay way more"* and "I want to redistribute wealth"*. Yeah, good luck getting that done.
Bully punches you in the face, is not the same thing as responding in kind. Trust me, bullies use people like you to cry "foul" when the shit they do to everyone else comes back to them in a bad way.
It is the "don't mess with me, I wont' mess with you. But, if you mess with me, I'm gonna fuck you up in ways you can't imagine. Peace"
What I see when I hear people whining about why they won't use ___ because it isn't "open enough"
I want an Open Toaster. All toasters are locked down and proprietary, and I want to hack my toaster so that I can use it to toast my mittens and socks. That's why I won't own a toaster. My BBQ does all these things and more! I've even built it myself, and it runs on Charcoal, Pellets, OR Natural Gas, giving me much more flexibility in my toast making endeavors. And when it snows, I like the fact that I can clear the snow off using my specially made "snow removal device" that I hacked together myself.
Why is it then, that bad wifi on my phone is immensely faster than good Cell (3G)? One or two bars on wifi loads so much faster than full bars on my 3G? Is their network that over saturated that even with a good signal that they just can't transmit? It is even more obvious on mobile optimized sites. Just sayin.

In the game of political chicken, Texas lost. It didn't work, because it wasn't tried. We need people willing to stand against Tyranny.
