  1. There is a big difference between marketing to doctors and marketing directly to the consumer.

  2. I remember when all that prescription drug advertising began and I knew it was a bad idea in 1997 and it still is today. Way too many patients walk into a doctors office demanding and getting a drug they've heard about regardless if it is the best option.

  3. You should really not be giving legal advice. Laws on identification vary by state. and not all of them allow for verbal id.

    Or you know couldn;t because of licenses they have for certain tech in their products. That is why you have binary blobs for the official linux drivers and not source. Neither Nvida nor AMD own all the IP used in their video cards and thus cannot legally distribute the source for their drivers.

    No, when you make a claim it is up to you, the writer, to provide the sources. Telling others to look up your shit is lazy and lame and a good way to get a failing grade.

    And it took Apple to take it mainstream, reducing it's security in the process. So it kinda falls into what Linus was saying.

    You seem to be giving the republican party a free pass on this even though they voted for it, and not one of them is supporting this move to repeal it.

    Do you have a source for this? I do like the fact that they are trying to close the loophole before it is implemented but I can find little to back up your claim.

  16. Re:I don't care how Sprint "sees it" on Sprint Faces Backlash For Adding MDM Software To Devices (csoonline.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Which is their stated policy. Personally I see this as some dissatisfied tech who planned on trying to access the phones later for pics and credit card numbers.

  17. Re:Not according to TFA on Sprint Faces Backlash For Adding MDM Software To Devices (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Sprint support staff gave him several reasons. I took that to mean the call center jockeys. It does not seem like it was Sprint Corporate telling him that, it was more like barely trained support staff who probably don't even know what MDM is. We also know it was a tech who manually installed it so the whole pre-installed claptrap was obviously pulled out of someones ass. I would not be surprised if some tech was installing it on many phones knowing it would give him access at a later point. And no Sprint is not going to admit that until they absolutely have to.

    I was claiming malice on the part of the tech hence the term unethical.

    When Sprint has policies in place that actually forbid that action without a customer request. Isn't it more likely you have an unethical tech who is looking for future access to phones?

    My only reply to that would be, they don't call themselves warriors, that's your term for them, so who again views it as war.
