It is 99.93% of all businesses in America.Why so broad a definition?So politicians, giant banks, and even the SBA can continue to claim they are focused on helping small businesses while totally focused on larger companies with more political donor power. This includes 28 million out of 28.1 million businesses in the U.S. in 2009 Australia passed the Fair Trade Act defining small business as less than 15 employees.Apparently it’s not impossible, but it is definitely inconvenient for those like the SBA, big banks and big government who regularly trot out companies of 50-500 employees and claim they are helping “small” business.The media needs to stop allowing the SBA, politicians and banks to simply feed them unproven claims of small business support without requiring that they first define the size of companies they see as “small”. Until the SBA embraces a reasonable definition of “small”, all claims that they help small businesses simply cannot be believed.The SBA defines “small” as “less than 500 employees”. (only 18,000 do not qualify), a constituency so broad as to be meaningless. The European Union has universally defined it at 50, and “Micro” businesses at 10. Until we have full disclosure on what size companies actually got the help, these claims should fall on deaf ears.Big is not small and the SBA has a responsibility to stop making claims without a meaningful definition. The SBA’s Size Standards white paper says it is “utterly impossible” to define the size of small business, then they go ahead and do it at 500 employees. It’s no different than defining all people under seven feet tall as “short”.

The democrats re the ones who have made it hard on small business and the SBA is a Joke we tried to get a loan their rate was higher than if we used our credit cards. Thats a big help. They offered NOTHING to the entrepreneur even with great credit and personal assets.We were told that they would give us $3000 at #12.85% interest.

The reason that more jobs aren’t being created: small businesses are being economically stangled. Fact: SMALL businesses of 500 employees or less lost 80 of the 100 jobs lost since Obama was elected. See the dept last 4 years of facts, not the hype. SBA in this biased interview says “Small” BUSiness owners account for 2 of 3 jobs created. JUST THE FACTS MAAM. SBA has consistently failed since a Liberal Congress added new tax legislation,and new rules designed to reward foreign investors & high risk owners owners while race & gender slanted toward non-whites.

They treat us as if we are totally stupid as well as blind. If their figures are right I have only worked for ONE ‘big business’ that employed more than 500 people. If you don’t have the secret ‘requisite number’ it’s ‘go F*** yourself, you’re already a loser’. It’s STILL considered ‘Small Business’ so don’t even bother to apply for a laon if you don’t employ up to 500 people. Yes and 99% of the money went to the ‘SMALL BUSINESSES’ that hire 500 people. Its all a farce and just another way to get money to the already wealthy. THAT’S SMALL BUSINESS’ as far as Washington is concerned. Every time he tours a ’small business’ its easy to see its really not a ’small business’ at all but a well established enterprise and they are the one’s benefiting from the SBA. Obama is no different.

It’s him again,’ and trudge away?” Well if he’s not going to take this seriously . We thought it was time to give them a rest.” Clearly keen to get something off his chest, he adds: “There’s a problem with the Daleks. They are the most famous of the Doctor’s adversaries and the most frequent. They have been defeated by the Doctor about 400 times. * Less than two years into the job, Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat is getting increasingly disillusioned with the Time Lord’s deadliest enemies. Which means they are the most defeatable enemies in the universe. Surely they should just see the Tardis approaching, say, ‘Oh. When asked about his plans for the Daleks, he gleefully announces in the Radio Times: “Actually, they aren’t going to make an appearance for a while.

In true geek fashion, after news broke that North Korea is manufacturing its own netbooks for business and educational use, we found ourselves clustered in the ExtremeTech boardroom, brainstorming the possible uses of a North Korean Netbook (NKN). At first we worried that it would be impossible to get our hands on an actual NKN, but then we discovered that North Korea isn’t actually making its own netbooks: it’s simply re-branding very cheap ($80) Chinese ARM smartbooks.

You can use them for word processing, but that’s about it. What you really need, if you want to make the most of an $80 netbook, is Linux. Now, we can’t be entirely sure which netbook North Korea is using, but it looks a lot like a MenQ EasyPC, the Sylvania 7″ netbook, or an unbranded netbook from Deal Extreme. Not a bad deal, considering they’re equipped with RJ45 Ethernet, 802.11b/g, USB, and an SD card slot. Windows CE runs OK on such processors, but you can forget about surfing media-rich websites, or playing Flash games or YouTube videos. These netbooks can be bought for around $80 and come with Windows Embedded CE 5 or 6 installed. The only problem is that these ultra-cheap (and ultra-light: less than 1kg!) netbooks have very weak, 300-500MHz ARM CPUs.

Believe it or not, North Korea has its own distro of Linux called Red Star. If you still want to see what Red Star Linux is like, you can easily install it under VirtualBox. The best bit is that you can actually download Red Star Linux; from The Pirate Bay no less. It really is shockingly similar to Windows XP. It’s based on KDE 3, has a Linux 2.6 kernel, features a re-branded and renamed version of Firefox 2 (“Naenara”), includes a bunch of games and media players — but for the most part, it has been designed to look and feel just like Windows XP. It’s possible that the Korea Computer Center has developed an ARM port of Red Star, but if so, it hasn’t leaked beyond the DMZ yet. The state-owned Korea Computer Center has been developing Red Star since 2002, and it recently reached version 2. Unfortunately, though, Red Star is designed for x86 processors, so it won’t work with the ARM-powered $80 netbooks.

Alternatively — and this is by far the easier option — head on over to eBay and buy the cheapest Android netbook you can find. You now have two options: if you want to proceed with installing Linux on an ARM netbook, read on. Be warned, though: it’s not easy, and there’s the risk of bricking.

The roughly 77 million customers who have been affected by the outage will be welcomed back with a package of free services and premium content, which depending on where they live and what device they own, may include two free games, a selection of free movie rentals and more than 100 free virtual goods.

I’m seriously considering seeing if I can set up a new master account, because this just sucks now. I absolutely hate the Playstation Network and SONY, due to their lack of ability to communicate with customers, their lack of help when it comes to things like this and their general lack of human decency!. They lie! I’m STILL waiting for a password reset email from them, that they REQUIRED to have done.

I’m perfectly fine waiting as long as need be. I don’t have any complaints; I’m glad my information was safe and that Sony is fighting back with security updates and software changes. It’s much better than having the network slammed back online, only to have the same thing happen again. And I don’t need free perks either.

In some cases, people who replaced their homes put a second or third bedroom with all the amenities in the basement but hardened so that if severe weather threatened overnight, the owners could go to bed in the basement room and not have to worry about sleeping through a distant warning siren. In addition, Mr. Cassias says, designs for public buildings such as the local high school, as well as individual homes, included adequately hardened rooms to serve as storm shelters.
