i think that if you get appointed to the president's cabinet you should be granted a full scholarship to telephone college so you can learn how to use the telephone

I remember an old colleague constructing a job interview test that was literally just "can the applicant correctly read a 24hr clock" after bad experiences with previous people in the post. Thinking maybe these cabinet appointees need to be put through a similar wringer.

Which reading is better? 1. The NSA doesn't know how contacts on a phone works, something that has been pretty constant for more than 25 years. or 2. He honestly thinks people would buy this explanation?

Last week, a group I was part of was dealing with a sensitive personal matter about a former member. First ? Is this email group limited to the people who need to make this decision? None of us went to IVY League schools but we managed.

i always assumed that stuff like this was handled a) not on cell phones, or b) on special secure government cell phones. it turns out there was a secret third option where a guy no more tech literate than my dad can make a mistake that leaks sensitive military information to an opposition journalist

With what we know about how insecure our phones are actually, you'd think they'd follow the common sense rule and not use them for national security at all. I remember when President Obama was first in office. They took away his Blackberry and forbid the use of a lot of what we take for granted now.
