Meanwhile, you're conveniently overlooking former Bush appointees Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice for also having retroactively classified emails on personal devices. Why?
The emails were discovered during a State Department review of the email practices of the past five secretaries of state. It found that Powell received two emails that were classified and that the "immediate staff" working for Rice received 10 emails that were classified.
You're gonna compare giving just any person a free, tax supported college education to the GI Bill?
Going to college used to be free. The G.I. Bill was a government program that worked extremely well.
These men and women put their personal and professional lives on hold to serve the country, making very little monetary compensation and many put their lives at risk, to protect assholes like you.
I work with veterans every day as a government IT worker to protect their personal data from the bad guys. They thank me for the daily service I put in on their behalf.
And note that I did NOT use AC for this! Those "fuck you"s are from my heart and soul!
You need mental help. Fortunately, Obamacare covers that.
Take your anti-military, never-held-a-real-job socialist asshole Sanders and move to somewhere you'll be more comfortable, maybe like Cuba or China. You'll fit right in there!
As a moderate conservative, I'm not voting for Sanders. But he is only person talking about reinvesting in America.
That Hillary did the same thing as him does not reflect well on her at all.
When Hillary set up her server, it was legit under existing policy at that time. But her purpose was the same as the Bush administration: to hide emails from outside parties.
We've been promised the paperless revolution for like 20 years now. But paper has been around for thousands of years and isn't going anywhere soon.
I work in government IT. We're so paperless that I have to bring in my own pens and Post-It notes. We do get a paper calendar handed out at the beginning of each year.
I doubt that will ever happen again after the Bush Administration lost 22 million emails.
The Bush White House email controversy surfaced in 2007 during the controversy involving the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys. Congressional requests for administration documents while investigating the dismissals of the U.S. attorneys required the Bush administration to reveal that not all internal White House emails were available, because they were sent via a non-government domain hosted on an email server not controlled by the federal government. Conducting governmental business in this manner is a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978, and the Hatch Act. Over 5 million emails may have been lost. Greg Palast claims to have come up with 500 of the Karl Rove emails, leading to damaging allegations. In 2009, it was announced that as many as 22 million emails may have been lost.
For the rest of the world civilization is when people started to form communities and technology, like e.g. ceramics.
According to my seventh grade social studies teacher, civilization came about only after agriculture got established to allow man to smoke weed, satisfy the munchies, and get laid.
Because they need to sell at least 3 million units just to break even on their initial investment, and there's no fucking way in hell they're going to do that - especially not at $600/unit and with competition coming out soon.
That's because you're not a Silicon Valley entrepreneur pitching to venture capitalists. With a U.S. population of 300 million, Oculus will only need 3 million people (1%) to buy their product to break even. Once they get past that point, every sale becomes pure profit. This is a successful formula for most startups. As Guy Kawasaki likes to point out, that formula didn't work too well for an online dog food delivery service.
If you create something with the Rift, the Terms of Service say that you surrender all rights to that work and that Oculus can use it whenever it wants, for whatever purposes.
When I worked at Accolade/Infogrames/Atari (same company, different owners, multiple personality disorder), lawyers inserted similar boilerplate language into the NDA for employees to sign. If they left it at that, everyone would have signed. But, no. They included a requirement to previously list all past copyrights and trademarks held as individuals, which in theory could become company property. No one signed. Some people had attorneys, several promised to produce reams and reams of copyright citations, and everyone threatened to resign. HR stepped in, revised the language to something less harmful, and everyone signed.
Doesn't matter if the prospective employee is adaptable if the employer does not believe or does not care (because adapting requires time, access to relevant tools, and often training).
I was out of work for two years (2009-2010), underemployed for six months (working 20 hours per month), and filed for bankruptcy. For two years I was told by hiring managers that I was overqualified for minimum wage jobs and told by recruiters that I was unemployable for everything else. Why? Because my resume had three jobs in help desk support, everyone assumed that I wanted to do help desk support. Never mind that wasn't the job I applied for. The job market didn't turn around until employers needed workers and didn't have the luxury to be picky.
Well 20 years from now all those programming jobs will be off shored too.
I'm not worried about that. Computer security will keep me busy for the next 20 years, especially if I stay in government IT and Windows still provide job security. If not, I'll move on to something else.
Shoulda been a manager from the start.
I worked at Cisco a few years ago when I got laid off because my contract came up for renewal and my boss got locked out from renewing my contract. The majority of the workers got laid off at that time: mid-level managers. Not even those jobs are safe.
I took introduction to electronics at college in the early 1990's. Tried a few times to get a summer job as an electronic assembler in Silicon Valley. The majority of workers were Filipinos, and I quickly discovered that I wouldn't get a job because I wasn't Filipino. White people, I was told, were managers and not workers. So I dropped electronics as a major. Ten years later I would go back to college to learn computer programming and earn my IT certifications, and the electronic department got reduced from one wing to a single room on campus. All the electronic assembly jobs are long gone.
That whole "us" vs "them" mental disorder of a rabid lying cunt like... you, and trump.
Uh, no. The Republican Party is based on "us" (angry old white people) vs "them" (everyone else). Otherwise known as the southern strategy for the last 40+ years. After the 2016 elections, the Republican Party will go from a national party to a southern white minority party.
Civilization is much older. The oldest cave paintings are 40,000 years +
Agriculture is what separates primitive societies from civilizations.
Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.
Then at some point it disappears. Now it's INTERESTING. That's bad.
Uh, no. That's progress. The Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council finally built out the hyperspatial express route. Takes forever to get anything built in this galaxy. Damn bureaucrats.
Crying about 'muh right wing echo chamber' doesn't disprove that obamaphones are a thing, which is what his post was about.
The federal program got started by Ronald Reagan and updated several times by Congress since then. Why don't we call them Reagan phones instead? Will they be called Hillary phones next year?
Why don't we admit that "Obamaphones" is a slur against a federal program that some people find useful because other people don't like the current president?
Make up your mind. You are also in an argument above denying that these phones exist at all.
I don't deny that there is a federal program that President Reagan started to provide subsidized phone lines for the poor, which has been updated several time by Congress since then, and now offer subsidized cellphones. Voice-only phones, if I'm not mistaken. Most of the homeless in Silicon Valley have them. I never seen one used to play online games or watch porn.
According to my Tea Party relatives in Idaho, Obama phones are iPhones. I've been trying to track down that link for years. If such a program exist, I want to sign up for it. No reason for me to pay $80 per month for my existing iPhone if the government is handing them out like candy.
Until then, nobody wants to hear the opinion of a rabidly dishonest cunt.

I can easily see an administrator leaking the documents for profit, political gain of their party, or fodder for smear tactics.
From a different article I've read a while back, the email server was set up to avoid that exact scenario.

It must differ according to local policy.
Some positions require getting work done, other positions require pushing paperwork. :)
Then your teacher had a weird definition of civilization :D
He was a hippie. Pony tail, simple clothes and sandals. Go figure.
