For many of the older people in this field college was not an option. Some of them "fell into" the job because they "knew computers".

I have a AAS degree from a two year school because IT related studies were not offered at the 4 year schools. In fact, I was bluntly told by a department head of a four year school: if you want to learn networking then go to a two year school. So I did. Best decision ever. No college debt and got a job right out of school.

Serious question: Who pays the bill then? Where does the money come from to treat these people?

I'm not a heartless bastard. These are questions that nobody can answer and nobody can agree on.

Yes, the top rate was 90%. BUT NOBODY PAID 90%!!! There were all sorts of write offs, loop holes, etc and people paid close to what we paid today.

Bullshit. Clinton and the GOP Congress never had a surplus. It was *projected* but never realized. The US has had a deficit every year I've been alive and the debt has grown each year that I've been alive.

This.

I'm a BES Admin and end user and it is an excellent platform. It still offers more features than ActiveSync ever will.

It's damn near impossible for a company to succeed with 2 CEO's.

No and it is sad. There's nothing out there that comes even close to BES. Policy management on iOS, Android and Windows Phone is a joke. I struggle to keep my company's information private, but it's impossible. Once an iOS or Android phone has access to my company's ActiveSync then my company has no control over how that data is handled.

We're currently trying to use XenMobile, but it doesn't work either. I try to block access to iCloud. But then the employees can't backup their personal data. Very frustrating!

If someone has an alternative to BES then please speak up.

Will it crash Exchange servers like 6.1 did?

I know a lot of companies are telling employees to *not* upgrade to 7 until testing has been done. Of course, since security is so lax with iOS there's nothing that companies can do to actually enforce that policy. Unlike other real mobile OS's out there.

You've got to be kidding me. BlackBerry has been doing true multitasking longer than any other major mobile OS. BB's multitasking puts iOS to shame (which has basically no multitasking) and is only rivaled by Android's multitasking which came out *after* BB.

When will you learn? Discuss and debate bills first. And if you actually pass it make sure that everyone knows what the effects will be.

Seems like the liberals can't quite get this straight. Stimulus, Obamacare, IT services tax, etc... I guess Pelosi *was* right after all - we have to pass it so we can find out what is in it.

That's only BIS and not BES.

Citation needed.

Ideally, you would safely shut down the reactors when running on generator. Running the plant any longer than absolutely necessary on generator power isn't the safest.

"the world's ocean levels dropped measurably."

"sea levels have been rising at a faster pace of about 10 millimeters (0.4 inches) per year."

So...which is it? Are the sea levels rising or dropping?

$798 for 15 weeks? I'd take that in a heartbeat. My employer's plan costs me $2,500 for that same time period.
