Business since 1981. I remember in the mid 80's, the "paperwork reduction" act came along. My volumes went UP.
Recently, 2010? the HIPAA law came long...volumes at one hospital went up about 8%.
As long as we have LAWYERS & GOVERNMENT, there WILL be paperwork. Otherwise look at the countless millions
that are paperwork shufflers that would be out of a job!
In the mid 80's, my dad was still an automobile dealer.
Ford released the SHO version of the Taurus. This was in the midwest,
small town that they lived in. A guy buys one from my dad. About a
month later, middle of January, cold as all get out, he brings it in for
an oil change or something. My dad asked him what he thought of it.
He handed my dad the keys and said take it for a spin. Now, my dad
at the time, was in his late 50's, gray hair, middle of winter, big huge
fur hat, gloves, overcoat. He heads down the state highway south of
town. He said a kid in a 70's Camero came up behind him, and when
they hit a straight stretch, the camero went to pass. Dad stepped on the
gas and blew him away. Slowed down and the Camero did it again, trying
to pass, dad blew him away. On the 3rd try my dad just let him go...he said
when he passed, he honked, flipped him off. Said his girlfriend was laughing.
My guess is he took his car to have it checked. "I just got blown away by some
old man in a 4 door family car". Those SHO's back then, the only way you knew
what it was, was to look closely at the SHO impression molded into the side
moldings.
Is it not right, that someone should have information, regarding a candidate?
I think you'd have to be out of your mind, not to know the entire Clinton family is
about as crooked as they come.
I have pretty good luck with "most" VoIP systems, as long as their ATA's have the T.38 protocols by pretty much
dumbing down the fax to just a plain ole G3, disabling any short protocols, setting the compression to MH/MMH
and a few other settings, but once in a while, you'll get the one or two numbers it just will not work with.
The biggest complaint is "the lines of words look like a barcode" from dropped packet/noise.
Yeah, but what is the issue is similar to what I went through in the 80's...
Then, people used "messenger" services. We couldn't get doctors or pharmacies to
switch to fax..."But I've always used a messenger service". Then when email became
popular, couldn't get them to switch to email. "but I've always used a fax machine".
The courts accepting a fax helped a lot, but the medical community is paranoid of
the HIPAA law. I had one I.T. guy tell me his hospital still had (this was about 5 years ago)
2500 pairs of copper just for fax lines. I asked why they didn't switch to scan to email.
He said they couldn't "guarantee" the safety of an email, especially if someone typed in
the wrong address, OUTSIDE of their intranet. He said once it goes OUTSIDE their network...
I know there has to be some sort of universal way to do it, but for whatever reason, I see a
TON of medical types that are scared to death of reaping the wrath of the HIPAA police.
Shoot, they tried to tag me for a HIPAA violation about 7 years ago...still using a FLIP PHONE
I took a photo of a bunch of jammed up paper in a machine, and they said the documents were
patient information, which constitutes a HIPPA violation. Ok, think back to the cameras on phones
7 years ago. I THINK it might have been a 2megapixel.
That's the problem, so to speak, with freedom of speech. One mans free thought, is another mans "hate".
There are a ton of things out there, like porn and what not, I don't care for, but, I'll defend YOUR right to see/read
it. The issue is, who is going to determine what is bad? And, when you start down that road, there is NO going
back.
How about a standard encryption for email, to comply with HIPAA, so the stupid FAX MACHINES will DIE OFF.
Been working on them, printers, photocopiers, computers for over 35 years and with VoIP sometimes it's almost
impossible to get fax machines to work with VoIP. Some healthcare agencies I have to deal with WILL NOT
authorize Fax to email or anything other than a straight fax machine or fax MFP.
9600-14.4k bps is about the max you can get. People are use to attaching a 30-40 page file to email, complain
how long it takes to fax a 30 page fax....PLEASE, standardize email encryption, make it where these stupid antiques
called fax machines can go the way of the telegram.
With the attach a couple weeks ago, the more crap that doesn't but gets hooked up to the
internet, WITHOUT PROPER SECURITY, it's only going to get worse.
800,000.00 per round, on that new rail gun.
Just grab all the Samsung washers, Samsung phones,
Throw the phones in the washers, set them on spin, fire them
at the bad guys...LOTS cheaper!
Bring those cheap jobs they contracted out to the USA, watch our economy start to turn around.
The tax rates in the USA are so punishing, corporations, wanting to make more with less, farm
everything out to the cheapest around, thus firing a lot of IT people, and farming it out to call
centers in India.
I'm voting early in the morning. When I get home from work, I'm not going to be sitting on the edge of
my seat, biting my nails hoping candidate A, beats candidate B.
Personally, I think the entire system is so screwed up, it won't matter who wins. Career politicians just
care about their own cushy little deal they have.
I'm going to attempt to go about my life, and try to survive whatever happens.
Until the price of gas stays at 4-10 dollars per gallon, for a long time,
and/or until you can "fill them up" in 2-3 minutes, as you can with a gasoline
vehicle, and/or the range can be extended for 300-400 miles per cycle, and/or
the price comes down to a comparable gasoline vehicle.
People are still under the belief, that the people are electing the president.
Good grief...wake up people...until the American public march on DC and take
back government, nothing will change. We have the "Bush" bunch, the "Clinton"
bunch, senators that have been in office since the 60's, judges that have to wear
diapers. Whenever I hear a politician say "I have devoted my career to public service"
I just want to PUKE. Political office was NEVER to be a lifetime job. But, we the people
are responsible for sending these clowns back year after year.
I stopped voting for ANYONE that has been in a government position more than 2 terms
years ago. I don't care if they are the best person in the world, two terms is enough!
A "universal" income....EXCEPT for politicians, the "uber" rich.
In other words a Tyranny. The way of controlling people even more.
You will only be able to have "so much" regardless of your labor.
Work your ass off, or, be completely lazy, you make the same amount.
That causes stagnation, lack of innovation. I'm just glad that I'm upper
middle age, and by the time that happens, I'll be long gone from this world!
I do not want to live in a society, where I do not have the freedom to do as I
please with my labor.
Boy, if I were in charge, I'd ship 99% of these H1B visa people BACK!
Listen, I'm a conservative, believe in capitalism, but, THIS IS A LOAD OF CRAP!
These companies using H1B visa's as a way to make more profit, at the expense of
the American workers, SHOULD STOP!
I'm a conservative, but, I also live in reality.
If anyone thinks this "lady" isn't going to be the next president, you're nuts!
Between the Clinton Crime Foundation, the Arkansas Mafia, illegal alien voters, multiple
voters, dead voters, 99% of the media, the majority of the establishment Republicans,
she's gonna be the next president.
Personally, I think the only reason Trump got into the race in the first place, was because
Bill Clinton, whom he had a meeting with BEFORE even running for the nomination, was
probably told "or else". With the stupidity of "celebrity-ism" in this country, and, saying what
people have WANTED a politician to say, the media goes along and pretty much only covers
Trump, not giving any other candidate a chance. Trump has been a liberal pretty much his
entire life. Gives to liberal causes, backs liberal candidates, even said "Hillary will make a great
senator" when she ran for the NY senate seat.
Heck, on Wednesday, it would not surprise me, if Trump say "I never wanted to be president anyway"
and then laughs as he and the democrats destroyed what's left of the GOP.
But, I can tell you living here in the midwest, there are a TON of people that have HAD IT with Washington
DC. They push it even more with a uber socialist like Hillary, and there will be another bloody civil war
in this nation. Oh, I'm sure they will try to get the guns, but, what it will do is cause our government to
kill it's citizens to get them, because they aren't gonna give em up.
Boy, I really feel sorry for this nation in the next few years, regardless of who wins.
One thing, if Hillary wins, the markets and the global economy have been propped up by "money printing"
and should go into another depression. Guess who gets the blame? The president...pretty much regardless
if it is their fault or not.
Personally, I'd like to see the entire citizen population opt for an Article 5 convention of states, repeal the
17th amendment, put the election of senators BACK into the hands of the state legislators, as it was intended.
Citizens HAVE a voice in DC, the House of Representatives. The states were to elect the senators, who would
give voice to the states in DC. That balance was upset with the 17th amendment.
We have gone so far off the kilter, to what the Constitution says government is suppose to be that people are
AFRAID of government, and, it should be THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
Right now, China,is about where the USA was in the 60's with regard to space technology.
Since everything is "made in China", they have the bulk of the worlds money, and can afford to
develop things like this, whereas the rest of the global economy IS IN THE TANK.
Once China's economy comes back to Earth (no pun intended), the entire world will be in
another DEPRESSION, most likely leading to another global war.
HAPPY FRIDAY!
Makes sense. I'm an android users, have been since 2010.
iPhone makes ONE phone, per year.
Android(s) make 5,304,504 phones per year from various manufacturers.
Who the h*ll wants those big huge ugly solar panels on their roof. I'm betting a lot of HOA's wouldn't allow them.
Making them look like a traditional roof, allows them to blend in without being an eyesore. If the price is competitive,
and they can handle the weather like we have here in the midwest (tornado, hail), then this might make it easier to
get people to switch to a more enviro-friendly power option.
I have NO PROBLEM with alternative energy, as long as the government doesn't force it upon people, and it is
competitive with traditional sources.

Algore said we'd all be dead by 2016? You mean we are to believe THIS theory?

Just make them bigger for the "spokes" for the wheels. Then, EVER car will sounds like a rice burner with the huge mufflers :)
Condoms for cell phones! The new iDOM...protection for using your phone. The new GalaxyDOM....explosive results!

Didn't we go through this in the 90's with IE vs Opera/Firefox et al?
Did you know that ANYONE, who has eaten a carrot, has eventually died?
Washing machines & phones Toss a samsung phone into a samsung washing machine, set it to "spin" mode. Fire it at the bad guy....BOOM!
