That's the problem. You can't prove it prevented a security breach so most users just see it as a PITA extra step and definitely NOT worth the extra trouble. My experience has been the harder it is to access something the less people use it. It's so hard to do some simple tasks on my current corporate network that at least half the office brings in their own laptops to get their work done. They just expense a WiFi hotspot and use it in the office.

Almost everything you mention is already baked into BES so you really have no idea what you are talking about.

Which is exactly why OPEC has refused to decrease production. They are trying to kill off drilling in the US.

THIS! West Texas is a wind power gold mine. It is not, however, a large population center. Almost all the power generated from the wind farms in West Texas go to Dallas. The problem was while everybody was building wind farms nobody was increasing the grid capacity to Dallas. These wind farms were actually shunting excess electricity into the ground because electric storage was cost prohibitive. The Texas Public Utility Commission (PUCT) launched an initiative in 2008 to expand transmission capacity. That was completed in 2013. Last year another project was approved to connect Texas' grid with the rest of the nation's. And storage technology has improved significantly in the last five years as well. If storage tech can become even more cost effective I suspect an explosion of solar/wind.

But Cinnamon isn't free...at least she wasn't the last time I talked to her.

My first thought when I saw the headline was that the BBC is throwing this out there to distract from the Jeremy Clarkson fracas.

Do you blame them? The US corporate tax rate is 39.1% Third only to UAE (55%) and Chad (40%).

And Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be there to save you!

Alleged holiday plans...We told you we were going to grandmas house but we went to Antigua instead!

For anyone who might have had a doubt...The new MacBook (MSRP $1300.00) requires an $80 dongle to connect to anything.

Whoa there Tex...It has NEVER been proven/disproven so all that we know for sure is Microsoft alleges Android is infringing some nebulous patents that they refuse to reveal.

Aint nobody got time for another Apple/Microsoft 15 year court case so most vendors are choosing to pay.

Which is another reason to continue to support Mozilla. Their code is open and there are other browsers based on that code tweaked and compiled for different needs. I switched to WaterFox because I wanted a fast 64 bit based version of FireFox and Mozilla hadn't released a 64 bit version at the time. I still use it. There are other versions targeted squarely at the fast/light crowd.

CompuLab's Fitlet does that to the NUC.

I like riddles.

I don't know...it made me chuckle at your response.
