And if those freakin' slowpokes would get out of the left lane and let the rest of us by . . . quit camping out in the left lane just because you are going the speed limit.
Wouldn't you say that is easier to accomplish when the large majority of the population lives in more urban Areas? I don't have any stats, but I think I'd be safe to assume that the higher density populations in China is in the larger urban areas of the country. Thus making it easier to get the infrastructure in place for providing broadband.
The US is more spread out and doesn't have the infrastructure in place to provide broadband to "every user".
Someone will still only save to "My Documents" or C: drive
You know it only takes about five seconds to use group policy to map "My Documents" to a network location, right?
True, but this would only work if you mapped it to a departmental directory that everyone who needed access to had it . . . you know as well as I do that users prefer their own workstation/network share that others in their department can't get to.
"So you're ok with a couple of thousand people dying from an attack every so often?"
The fact is that we as a society have decided that *much* higher preventable losses are in fact acceptable.
The 3,000 or so we lost in one attack a decade ago averages out to 300 per year. Compare this to the 36,000 a year that die in car crashes, or the 400,000 that die from smoking-related deaths, or the 300,000 due to obesity - maybe we should be declaring war on cars, cigarettes and food instead.
Where have you been? We have higher safety standards for cars today than we did 25 years ago.
Smoking has been banned in numerous businesses across the country. Taxes are higher on cigarettes today than in the 50's/60's.
Those people who care about what they eat are doing something about their weight issues. Those who don't never will.
Oh, and several hundred people die of bee stings a year, and 50 or so from lightning strikes - time to declare war on them too?
Really? You're comparing lives lost from a terrorist attack to those lost from allergies to a bee sting?
And there's something to be said for the idea that we as a nation should just man up and *not* insist on getting bent out of shape - remember that stuff like pissing away trillions in 2 wars, the Patriot act, the security theater that is the TSA - those are all things the terrorists *want* us to do.
As opposed to what exactly? Ignoring the global threats these groups pose and just hope it doesn't happen again? Some of the agencies put in place after 9/11 aren't as efficient as they were ment to be, but having them in place is better than not doing anything.
Osama bin Laden is probably laughing his ass off - all he has to do is send 1 incompetent guy every 2-3 years to light his underwear on fire, and let us do the work of destroying ourselves.
This would've ended a long time ago if we played by his rules IMO. If "we" didn't care about innocents and consequences as much as some of you like to think.
Since 9/11, some 4 million US residents have died because we as a nation think that's an acceptable loss to preserve people's right to smoke tobacco. Surely, 300 per year is an acceptable loss to preserve people's rights as a free society.
You can't preserve anything in a "free" society if you don't retaliate against attacks.
The world trade center incident didn't kill quite a few, it killed a small drop in the bucket of our folks. Many many more Afghanis and Iraqis have died since the pointless wars started than we have lost. Personally, I don't give a shit about the whole "US" vs "Them" thing, dead is dead, and we have rivers of blood on our hands now thanks to assholes like this guy who can't say no to a paycheck and an order.
So you're ok with a couple of thousand people dying from an attack every so often?
You sir are a prick. You wouldn't even have the right to spank it to pr0n all day if "assholes like this guy" didn't die protecting freedoms for worthless punks like you.
There is no honor in being a military man, and its time we stop pretending that there is. The only honor in fighting is when casting off an occupying force. Otherwise, you are just a wanna be conqueror's bitch.
It's not only the cost of the items due to the markup it is the fact that there is so much red tape just to make a simple purchase that would make the general public's head explode.
As a federal employee I can't book my own flight and save some time and money . . . I have to use "City Pairs" at a higher cost and less flexibility. It drives me up the wall.
The systems we use to create travel orders and request payment vouchers is so clunky and takes so much time to work through most folks could've driven to their destination by the time they are done. This along with the systems we use to track procurement and training cost so much money that we pretty much have to stick with them to make it even remotely resemble a decent expense.
I really have to remind myself I'm not playing Burnout when I'm stuck in a traffic jam. You know, since a video game is so close to how it is in real life.
Rather than spending all of this money on tracking down "pirates" maybe the RIAA should actually consult with some of these folks and work out a better way to market music.
Medical research doesn't discriminate. However, medical researchers very well could.
Ongoing treaty violations? I'd love to hear more about those . . .
I'm Native American and just happen to work for a government agency that provides health care to tribes. For every supposed "treaty violation" I can provide info on things where the government is getting short changed as well. There are often times where both sides lose and where one "wins" more than the other.
Second, given the Indian Nations' history with white people and treaties, why shouldn't they be outraged that the researchers used the DNA for more purposes than what they had originally agreed to verbally?
What exactly does "medical research" mean to you?
And why bring race into this? There are actually people out there wanting to help those in need. Regardless of color.
I actually worked on the Navajo for 5 years. I totally understand where you're coming from. I was in several similar meetings. The Navajo Nation Institutional Review Board has it's work cut out for it . . .
How is entering a PIN a step backwards? Buildings use things like this for physical security all of the time . . . I fail to see a problem with two-factor authentication.
WASHINGTON, DC - Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis today announced a total of nearly $1 billion in Recovery Act awards to help health care providers advance the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology (IT) and train workers for the health care jobs of the future. The awards will help make health IT available to over 100,000 hospitals and primary care physicians by 2014 and train thousands of people for careers in health care and information technology. This Recovery Act investment will help grow the emerging health IT industry which is expected to support tens of thousands of jobs ranging from nurses and pharmacy techs to IT technicians and trainers.
Seems to me that regardless of any deadline, the Feds are making every effort to provide the financial assistance necessary to all types of health care providers so that Health Information Exchanges can be stood up and make electronic health records more available and their use more efficient.

Yep . . . that's what you see right before you can kiss your ass goodbye.
So when can we expect Obama's version of "Mission Accomplished"?
Hopefully all of those activities won't be in between rouge RPG attacks . . .

Exactly what I was thinking . . .
I'm not sure he'd qualify as a "good" donor.
That's what she said.
That would be a possibility as long as it required two-factor authentication. USB plus a PIN or something.
If users don't/can't remember their complex passwords then change to some form of two-factor authentication.

Wouldn't you consider a lawsuit involving $1.5 trillion a little on the stupid side?
but definitely an added benefit to owning a GPS.

Exactly. They just opened the flood gates for the rest of US Tribes . . . expect more complaints to be filed.
This policy is nonsense.
Allowing daily users to have a single password that never expires is nonsense.
