It is just overbearing when you work for the man all week and Joroto all night. Realistically the number one reason for becoming a manger: "This is the natural progression of my professional life. It pays better and people will admire me, so I will apply for the job." Well its Saturday 7:20 AM, and the marketing department must take a nap. I must be prepared for the competitive mid-morning Team Fortress games. Oh yea, I will edit our new client's contract...well, this week...probably. Interesting that my Recaptcha for this post is "time", "alluring". And thus God speaks to me. A correction to your own life: You LOVE 30 hour programming sessions.

MIT just figured out wireless power transfer, something Tesla worked on before he died. Think of this, Tesla KNEW that it could be done. He absolutely knew it, but couldn't figure out the method of transmittance. People like that are not geniuses, they are visionaries.

They (The Chinese Government) become a Tier 1 provider, the only one in China, and they can control all the access that they want. The fact that they HAVEN'T done that indicates to me that they want to roll the dice and appear to not look like a totalitarian government. They are very smart to attempt to walk the line. Always remember, they can always revert and shut down the access points into and out of China. They are figuring out where the internet lives within their philosophy of government and life. I have to say, I don't mind them shutting out porn. However I do believe the price of losing freedom of information is too high to pay for that, and therefore we should live with porn and let people choose. Protect our children (somehow), let them grow up and then choose. Choice is not a dirty word, nor is it inherently bad. -T- If I were the Chinese government, I would detach all interfaces from the Internet and “make their own”.

After his initial, "Newbies!" comment for those of us who had this problem, both on Windows and Mac, he then became helpful. Apparently under a newer system, certificates cannot be renewed. Our provider may have renewed a certificate, which renders it invalid. After my phone call and who knows how many others, they may have issued a new certificate. Apparently not only Windows XP, but also Apple Mail (Steve you'll have to show this to me some day, sounds fascinating!) choked on this. Our Apple guy (every company needs one) was able to delete his certificate, and the Apple system reliably downloaded the new chain of certificates. The Bat! e-mail client is one that has the worse hissy fits, thus I had to jump through the above hoops to update it. Tom also stated that Windows just plain has trouble with PKCS12 certificates. If a provider issues such, that could be a problem also. Talked to Tom about this.

It probable shouldn't as that is the last piece of info that identifies your credit card. So that is not unusual. Try this: If you have multiple computers authorized, deauthorize all except this one, put in the security code in iTunes --> Store --> View my account, and try it again. The indication that this didn't save in iTunes is that the Download from the store asks you to login twice and change the billing info. If this doesn't happen change credit card to none, save, then go back in and enter the credit card info. NOTE: Make sure the expiry date of the credit card is correct. Sorry this is frustrating.

Look for all AT&T prices to increase and services to decrease. Only in America does a company do this. Look goober, AT&T HAAAASSSSS to make money from someone. They completely underestimated (as did the entire industry) the Apple factor with their iPhone. AT&T has a lock on the iPhone, although Congress is stepping in of course, but it is not making a lot of money from Apple’s success.
Remember that Apple gets a cut of the monthly revenue that AT&T charges. A first in the industry, and AT&T thought it would not be as successful as it ended up being. Look for all AT&T prices to increase and services to decrease.

Who cares about a company that cannot maintain focus on its core competencies? No one that's who. I wish them the best but this is ridiculous that a company that has absolutely dominated, allowed themselves to sit on their laurels. Google hasn't and still doesn't sit on its laurels. It continues to attack, ferociously and vigorously all markets that it enters. Delete this. Who cares about a company that cannot maintain focus on its core competencies? No one that’s who.
