The reason the tablet manufacturer is throwing money/product at the hospital is because they know they don't have the right solution but want you to shoehorn it in anyway. Sometimes free is not the best solution.

Apparently the point of the service is to make it look like the White House is listening to the people. Look like. Not actually are.

"Troll"? Really? Do you people even have the slightest clue what that rating means? My comment was exactly on topic and accurate. Please LEARN HOW TO MODERATE.

If you're going to use that analogy, make it accurate. The most popular girl made it well known what dress she would be wearing to the dance, and then another girl blatantly and deliberately wears the same dress to the same dance. Popular girl seems justified in bitch-slapping the copycat.

Write your own iPhone app that acts as a calendar of events, links to the bridal registry, provides a map to the wedding and reception, allows users to digitally RSVP, share photos of the event, etc. A lot of work? Sure. But you wanted to go geek. This is how!

Happening here too; the site seems to not be compatible with Firefox or Safari. I was able to at least get to the "Sign in" form using Chrome, but after I sign in the petition still says I "must sign in to sign the petition" even though the bottom of my browser window says I am signed in. Basically, the petition website is not working properly. Perhaps you can only use it with IE? I guess Linux and Mac OS X users get less democracy than Windows users....

Not sure if you're joking or serious, but I think this actually might happen. The music/film industry is far too greedy to not try this!

Nowhere did OP say he has "lots of downtime". I think you got that from another post. OP said he did the work at home on his own computer on his own time. That's dedication. But it is up to him to feel out whether his employer will appreciate that or not. If the latter, then he should not spring this on the employer. Instead, act like the project has not even been started. Go to the boss with an "idea" of doing this and talk him into it. Then "work" on it over the coming months and introduce it to the workplace. Then in your quarterly or yearly evaluation make sure you get credit for coming up with the idea, proposing it, and implementing it. EASE the employer into it. Springing things on companies doesn't often work too well.

Perhaps 50 years ago. Now it's "You should be happy you even have a job, so do what we say or you'll be out of work for years in this economy. Bonus? Raise? I do not understand these words you are using."

Be fair, the restrictions on the implementation are severe: No OS mods one can kind of understand but you also can't create even a "testtaker" user account? As an OS deployment engineer I appreciate the former but I can't think of any justification for the latter.

Anyway, given these handcuffs, a multiple-choice test will just have to do I think. And believe me, you can make some pretty darn hard multiple-choice exams. Go try to get MS or Apple certified some time. 80 adaptive multiple choice questions that nobody is going to do well at unless they studied hard and/or know their stuff.
