the military CAN get things working when they can't write checks. They have a system that works for THAT function and has for 50 years. So it's a matter of LEVERAGE to get compliance. The problem with Oracle and SAP is that they

no, the problem is "encouragement". When they passed Sarbane-Oxley they gave corporate executives just a few years to implement it. Don't implement it and we DELIST your stock. Implement it WRONG and go to jail. Needless to

As President he's "supposed" to fight for this, even if it's crap. That's how our "adversarial" government works. That's why it's CHECKS... As in gloves off, missing teeth, hockey checks. It&#x2

I get so sick of this. Monopoly economics is based on statistics of a random buyer wanting to buy stuff from a random seller. With NO INTERFERENCE. Statistitions consider 25% chance to be "unlikely", and 75% chance to be "ver

Or maybe we're all STILL PAYING OFF our 2008 debts... You know 35% effective APR and our houses all having negative equity 5 years latter will do that. The people writing this stuff live in a fantasy land where the rich took a 25% fall

Gates has for sure been propping up Ballmer for far too long. That has kept the status quo going long past effectiveness. The whole industry pulled one over on Microsoft cause Gates and Ballmer defended their monopoly from the DOJ long past

The Win 7 and Win 8 rollouts were the biggest problem. Elop ANNOUNCED shutting down Nokia's OS units with their Flagship N9 in the wings to be sold. Strike one for slashing YOUR OWN SALES. Then they announced the shift to Win 7, which

If they are only hitting a port 22 a few times, who's wasting the ISP's time with abuse requests... I suppose its probably those guys with Class-A blocks and too much time on their hands.

The biggest difference is that boys are about DOING and girls are about TALKING. That's not about just schools, but the last 400 years of men's and women's role on society. Boys don't typically learn by talking, they lea

That's where we have a bit of a double standard of expectations. We expect a girl to go to college ZPRIMARILY to get an MRS. Degree, preferably ABOVE her social standing. When guys go to school we expect WORK first, Mrs. Second. You en

If you changed the story to be a known drug dealers wife, it isn't that out of line. Can Miranda clearly say he has NEVER TRANSPORTED leaked documents or known where his partner keeps them? Really? Even more so, can he prove his partne
