Anyone who thinks that's going to increase efficiency has NEVER dealt with government contractors, their sole goal is to extract as much money as possible from the organization they "support", not to provide any level of service let alone a high level.
Unfortunately they won't let you freeze your file without a police report these days.
Except of course that your employer can fire you for any reason, or no reason at all in Texas so failing to follow company policy can get you fired whether your action is legal or not.
No, HIPPA definitely covers your employer. In fact I as a manager can not discuss the reason that any of my reports are on medical leave with anyone but my direct supervisor and HR. Now, I don't think the fact that you have coverage is covered PHI, but the broader statement that HIPPA doesn't apply to employers is false.
CEO (along with other senior executives) compensation (much more than just pay) has been public for some time, check out your companies 10Q filing (does not apply to private companies).
I paid $350 for my Brother color laser all-in-one, a set of OEM toner carts: $200 and they're only good for 1400-1200 pages at 10% coverage. I can buy a refill kit with two black and all the color refills for $50, that's a significant difference and even if the original carts give out after a few refills I've still saved the cost of the printer.
flooding the syslog server, or even hacked into and the logged deleted, but stopping a locally hooked up dot matrix printer is something else.
There's a reason one of the standard Unix error codes is lp0 is on fire =)
If you're talking about the CRA (it normally is when people talk about coercing banks into making loans), analysis shows that CRA loans had lower default and delinquency rates than conventional prime loans in the same markets. Lots of people like to blame the CRA for the housing crisis, it really was a non-factor, in fact that only federal program that significantly contributed to the problem was the Fannie/Freddie mortgage backed security program, and that only because the loan quality was opaque and in many cases fraudulent. It will be interesting to see what happens to the McGraw Hill suit announced today, the rating agencies should all probably be shut down and the management that allowed one of the largest frauds in history should be in irons.
Yep, Virgin Mobile is great, though the new best value for most folks is probably Republic Wireless, $19/month for unlimited text, talk, data. The deal is they use VoIP and WiFi for the vast majority of their users traffic, they handoff to Sprint and then Verizon only if you don't have a WiFi network available. The downside of this is that they only offer one phone and it's running Android 2.3 and since it took them 9+ months to get that working reliably it will be a bit before they do a new phone on ICS/JB.
Yeah, it was also happening anywhere that Fios was being installed, unfortunately Verizon has basically halted that project and sold off most of their landline holdings outside the densely packed east coast to Frontier which will never roll out another yard of Fios.
Yep, look at the cost per Mbps for colo bandwidth versus last mile, they were on a roughly parallel trajectory until the media companies bought up the cable companies and decided to increase costs to protect their existing models, they can only do that because in most markets they have a monopoly/duopoly position, give them some real competition and suddenly things get back on track.
Yeah, EVE was one of the first large test cases for SSD backed database servers I read about and the numbers they talked about amazed me because it far exceeded all the business processes for my S&P 500 company.
Yep, former coworker who happened to be a female DBA was bigtime into EVE for a while, she even played with her 16 year old daughter who was 600 miles away at the time living with her ex.
Ditto, I didn't move to Chrome until AdBlock Pro and Flashblock worked properly, which lucky for Google coincided with the Firefox team deciding that breaking the UI and 10-20% of plugins every few weeks was acceptable. I've played with Firefox again since things got back to a normal change of pace but I just haven't felt that I gained anything so I stick with Chrome due to better integration between desktop and mobile.
Don't forget that at
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
