i very briefly worked at a firm where they refused to actually fire people

they would just transfer you to a non-job with no duties and a cubicle far away from your old friends and coworkers. then they waited for some combination of shame and boredom to drive you out of the firm

they ended up with hundreds of deliberately-"forgotten" employees who just refused to leave. after that they moved to a different "rightsizing" mechanism which was even crazier but that's another story

what's the other story?

harper is determined to repeat all the key neo-conservative mistakes the U.S. has made over the past decades, as quickly as possible.

build more prisons, then fill them using mandatory minimum sentences for drugs.

climate denial.

xenophobia and bullying immigrants.

saying the country is a christian nation under the queen of england lmfao.

now going to war in iraq.

he neurotically mimics and strokes old power structures at any opportunity. he's a power-hungry contrarian. you can't have a conscience to know factually the USA policies have been apocalyptic and try repeat them anyway for pathocratic reasons.

he literally takes every play out of the GOP handbook. maybe i'm naive but i've never seen anything like him in canada, not in politics or my social life. he's the one-man NRA, israel-lobby, bill kristol, etc of canada.

this event is so predictable, and so is his response, and whatever PATRIOT act he'll introduce. even if it looks bad on him right now because he started this with ISIL, it still sickens me to know he wanted this and loves it.

RIP soldier guy, we failed you

http://www.itworld.com/article/2873895/blackberry-wants-to-mandate-app-developers-to-make-apps-for-its-platform.html

BlackBerry CEO John Chen wants net neutrality to extend to content and applications, so that developers of apps for Android and iOS will be mandated to develop on the BlackBerry platform as well.

Not all content and app providers have embraced openness and neutrality, Chen wrote in a blog post that the company said was adapted from a letter sent to U.S. lawmakers on Wednesday. Policymakers must demand openness not just at the traffic and transport layer, but also at the content and applications layer, he added.

�Unlike BlackBerry, which allows iPhone users to download and use our BBM [BlackBerry Messenger] service, Apple does not allow BlackBerry or Android users to download Apple�s iMessage messaging service,� Chen said. He also took a shot at streaming service Netflix for refusing to make its streaming movie service available to BlackBerry customers.

�Many other applications providers similarly offer service only to iPhone and Android users,� said Chen, who added that as a result a �two-tiered wireless broadband ecosystem� had been created where Android and iPhone users have more access to content and applications than users of mobile devices running other operating systems.

�Therefore, neutrality must be mandated at the application and content layer if we truly want a free, open and non-discriminatory internet,� said Chen, who added that all applications and content providers must be prohibited from discriminating based on the customer�s mobile operating system.

lmfao

Mr. Apollo posted:

With the new bb desktop manager software, it gives you two choices if you're having technical difficulties connecting with a bb device; "reload" or "reconnect". what's not clear is that "reload" completely wipes the device. if you click "reload" you just get a pop up saying "this will reload the device, click OK to continue" or something like that. I wonder how many accidental this has caused
