Cruz is a threat to anyone not an rich Evangelical Christian. If he wins, say goodbye to Roe vs. Wade. Say goodbye to same-sex marriage. Say hello to anything the FBI / NSA want to look at without any public debate (even worse than it is now). Say hello to Creationism in public schools. Say hello to voucher systems for private fundamentalist Christian schools. Say goodbye to clean air, clean water, banking regulations, etc. Say hello to a VAT tax system that slashes corporate taxes and will cost $8 billion+. His dad runs a religious group called "Purifying Fire International" who want to bring about the "end times" in a nuclear conflagration and has been telling Ted that he is the "anointed one" since he was four. They want to start a "wealth transfer" to "God's bankers". If Cruz is elected, it may not just be bad for the US, but might just be the end of our civilization.
Go read up on David Lane, Dominionism, and Christian Reconstructionism. Their brand of Christianity is not the "love thy neighbor", "feed the poor" but the type that brought about the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition. They want Levitical law to be the law of the US.
When I read this, I immediately knew she would be fired. Every job I've worked at pretty much has a disparagement clause, and my last job also included one in my severance package. Heck, I got a call from our "Director of Marketing Relations" or such for posting a comment on a New York Times article when I mentioned a client by name since we have various contracts about things like that. I didn't get fired over it, but neither was I slamming us or them in any way. If I had done either, and gotten fired over it, I'd might have even got sued too since it was in my contract I signed that I wouldn't bad-mouth either.
And her complaining about the food the company provided is SO over-the-top, I'd love for my workplace to provide free food like that and wouldn't ever complain about it. If your job isn't paying enough, go find another.
then why not just ask that employee what they changed it to? Or is it, since it's been changed but this phone hasn't been synced, the security chain is now broken? I've dealt with Airwatch MDM, pushing out updates to iPads, etc...but I don't know the intricacy of IOS security (and apparently, neither does the FBI). I'd hate to be the employee who did this; even if it is "standard protocol" they should have realized that this isn't a "standard employee firing" and should have asked their manager FIRST, who should have said "let me clear this with the FBI" or such.
Pasadena Star News has a far better write-up on this. One, is was the California Highway Patrol. Two, the building they trespassed on is owned by the California Public Utilities Commission, which is a.gov so it's probably property belonging to the State of California ("after scaling state building" in the headline). Three, the protesters are quoted "we are occupying the PUC".
The execs see the remote workers still worth the 1/10 to 1/100 salary in India worth the remote. They don't think "remote workers" in the US, who still cost almost as much, worth it. If remote workers in the USA would work for the average India-based software engineer wage of around 11K USD then IBM would hire here in the US again LOL. All we have to do in the USA is be willing to work for $6-$7 an hour!
This tech is disturbingly close to the idea behind the zombie outbreak in Z Nation...there is a scene were some corp suit guy went around the world collecting various pathogens before the outbreak.
It is, and the Department of Labor could put a quick halt to this, along with the Department of Justice. But they won't, because they have all been bought out. The POTUS doesn't even need Congress to instigate an investigation; this could be handled by the Executive Branch. Yet the stock holders only want profit, they care nothing about their fellow citizens. To them, we are not really "fellow citizens" but mere serfs who are allowed to think we matter.
That movie comes to mind. Soon these CIOs, CEOs, etc will be targeted directly themselves by angry workers. They will have a whole new concept to the idea of "getting fired".
It's just weird that the $19.99 also includes a "free digital subscription". I've taken marketing / advertising / promotion college classes, so I would expect them to push this something like this:
Digital Only: $52 per year
Print and Digital: $19.99 per year
SAVE $32.01, and get a FREE HAT!
" and student loan forgiveness to help recruit top technical talent." Well, even if the next POTUS does roll this back, hopefully some of us can get into this program first and get some benefit from it.
They still have a print magazine, and it's only $19.99 a year AND comes with a "free digital subscription". So I'm not sure why their charging over 2x for a digital-only subscription. Reminds me of something a newly-minted marketing major would attempt..."psychological marketing of only $1 / week!"
Damn, that's pretty expensive. A print + online subscription for the magazine is only $19.99, AND a free hat (!). Did someone in their marketing department just fail at basic math, or is this some experiment in psychological marketing? The plug-in Disable Anti-Adblock works great on Forbes, I'm betting it will also work on Wired.
"Foxconn, a Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturing/assembly company" if you need to be told who Foxconn is, you shouldn't bother being on Slashdot lol.
Quite true, but their drawing lines on a map with zero regards to the actual ethnic populations is what has caused much of the current violence. Yet, I'm not sure if we had instead more "pure" countries made up of single religious sects would have turned out any better...it probably would have just resulted in the larger Sunni countries ethnically cleansing the smaller Shia countries years ago.
"Pattern Detection Ratio" was installed into DARPA's Pitt Quantum Computer. Over the next few months it was linked into Google's D-Wave via the new quantum teleportation network developed at the University of Geneva. On August 29th, at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time it became self-aware...
British diplomat Sir Mark Sykes, and the 1916 Sykes-Picot Agreement, is who is to blame for much of this mess. He's the one who came up with the current "map" of the Middle East after the Ottoman Empire was defeated.

There WERE other brands of voip phones, but Snom has ethnically cleansed them all.
And, Ron Paul wasn't running in this election so...
I still prefer them over an Evangelical Theocratic Ted Cruz presidency, who would implement an Dominionist version of "sharia law".

Has there ever been a large corporation in the US actually dis-incorporated for criminal wrongdoing?

sound perfect for a rail gun.

Negative publicity doesn't really affect a power company. What is anyone going to do, boycott them and live in the dark?

That was pretty quick! Yes, it's good that our new overlords (lol) are taking active participation and fixing stuff!

If they ARE watching, maybe they can get some better ideas from our conversations.
