Over the past day, we’ve heard from many great Citrix customers about our advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show. These customers have expressed their growing concern that some of his recent comments seem inconsistent with the core values Citrix has always stood for – humility, integrity and respect.
While Citrix obviously does not control any show’s content or endorse opinions of their hosts, we do take the concerns of our customers seriously. When they are upset about something, we listen. After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue our advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Show.
Sincerely,

As a person whose work centers on branding/marketing (in a form, at least) I find it a little pathetic that Citrix makes it “moral stand” on THIS issue??
My God, I’ll bet they have advertised on shows with spokesmen who have referred to Palin (or her children) as sluts - often.
But “THIS” - this is just “too much” for Citrix?
Personally, I see collusion by Democrat-occupied corporations and the DNC. They’re looking to divert voters from gas prices - any way that they can.
Citrix was probably guaranteed $100 million in Federally-backed loans for dropping Rush. I’d like to know.
I haven’t heard a Snapple commercial in a very long time. I hear BG commercials, but I don’t hear any Autozone commercials.
I was going to use Legal Zoom this week, But I just decided that there are a few others I might use.
Some companies like to throw their weight around....who the heck cares...they need to stay out of political issues...this is all clearly Obama and the democrates play....How I hate this administration!
Idiots.

Via a modification to the built-in Remote Windows Desktop?
I dabbled in setting that up, but didn't pursue it when I ran into problems.
Can you suggest a tutorial link? Thanks.
Cancelled my gotmypc subscription.
None of the session data goes through Google, they are used for credentials. It is a straight datapipe from your computer to the target computer.
That said, RealVNC is $30 per server (machine you want to access remotely), they've a demo version you can use to try it out. TightVNC is free, but more complicated to get running.
After trying a lot, I settled on gbridge as I wanted something small, quick, and would just plain work.

Got Slut? The Left Launches a Coordinated Attack Against Rush Limbaugh
Oh yeah Citrix’s core values. Go to their web site and their executive team, not a single woman to be found there.
Pandering.
More for the sidebar. Help spread it far and wide.
We should all write CITRIX and send them this TIMELINE which will show that they should get their information straight before making hasty moves after only listening to what Rush’s deranged enemies have to say:
When you see the timeline shown below, you will find that Rush was merely ECHOING the 2-day old comments of others and adding his hilarious “illustrating the absurd by being absurd” commentary to the mix.
Here we go:

Sex-Crazed Co-Eds Going Broke Buying Birth Control, Student Tells Pelosi Hearing Touting Freebie Mandate
http://cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/sex-crazed-co-eds-going-broke-buying-birth-control-student-tells-pelosi-hearing
By Craig Bannister
A Georgetown co-ed told Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s hearing that the women in her law school program are having so much sex that they’re going broke, so you and I should pay for their birth control.
Speaking at a hearing held by Pelosi to tout Pres. Obama’s mandate that virtually every health insurance plan cover the full cost of contraception and abortion-inducing products, Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said that it’s too expensive to have sex in law school without mandated insurance coverage.
Apparently, four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet if they have to pay for their own contraception, Fluke’s research shows.
“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy (Georgetown student insurance not covering contraception), Fluke reported.
It costs a female student $3,000 to have protected sex over the course of her three-year stint in law school, according to her calculations.
“Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,” Fluke told the hearing.
$3,000 for birth control in three years? That’s a thousand dollars a year of sex – and, she wants us to pay for it.
Yes, us. Where do you think the insurance companies forced to cover this cost get the money to pay for these co-eds to have sex? It comes from the health care insurance premiums you and I pay.
But, back to this woman’s complaint that women are spending $3,000 for birth control during her time in college.
“For a lot of students, like me, who are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary,” she complains.
So, they can earn enough money in just one summer to pay for three full years of sex. And, yes, they are full years – since that could translate into having sex nearly three times a day for three years straight, apparently.
At a dollar a condom if she shops at CVS pharmacy’s website, that $3,000 would buy her 3,000 condoms – or, 1,000 a year. (By the way, why does CVS.com list the weight of its condom products in terms of pounds?)
Assuming it’s not a leap year, that’s 1,000 divided by 365 – or having sex 2.74 times a day, every day, for three straight years. And, I thought Georgetown was a Catholic university where women might be prone to shun casual, unmarried sex. At least its health insurance doesn’t cover contraception (that which you subsidize, you get more of, you know).
And, that’s not even considering that there are Planned Parenthood clinics in her neighborhood that give condoms away and sell them at a discount, which could help make her sexual zeal more economical.
Besides, maybe, these female law students could cut back on some other expenses to make room for more birth control in their budgets, instead of making us pick up the tab. With classes and studying and all that sex, who’s got time for cable?
And, let’s not forget about these deadbeat boyfriends (or random hook-ups?) who are having sex 2.74 times a day. If Fluke’s going to ask the government to force anyone to foot the bill for her friends’ birth control, shouldn’t it be these guys?
All of this seems to suggest at least two important conclusions:
If these women want to have sex, we shouldn’t be forced to pay for it, and
If these co-eds really are this guy crazy, I should’ve gone to law school

Hypocrisy on Capitol Hill: Deconstructing a Dishonest Speech About Birth Control
http://biggovernment.com/cjohnson/2012/02/29/hypocrisy-on-capitol-hill-deconstructing-a-dishonest-speech-about-birth-control/
by Charles C. Johnson
As a student at Cornell and treasurer of a a pro-choice organization at the school, Sandra Fluke, helped shut down a pro-life speech on Cornell’s campus by counter protesting. She argued that a pro-life organization at Cornell was about “manipulating [students’] emotions” with misleading statistics about abortion. But when it is her turn to speak on Capitol Hill, the third-year Georgetown Law Student demands she gets her say in a hearing that has nothing to do with birth control.
Fluke, who was awarded a B.S. in Policy Analysis & Management, and a Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies degree from Cornell in 2003, has since become a cause celebre among the political left-wing because she wasn’t allowed to testify in a congressional hearing. The Washington Post has even called her an “expert witness.”
But what is she an expert in? ”I’m an American woman who uses contraceptives,” Fluke said, when asked Thursday by Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., about her qualifications to speak at the hearing. Well, there you have it. We are told by congressmen that she speaks for “millions” of women, so let’s have a listen to her testimony before the Democrats on Capitol Hill:
Though Fluke wouldn’t have you know it, most women don’t need birth control. Indeed, if the cost of keeping her ovary was a mere $3,000 a year, why couldn’t her gay friend–assuming she actually exists–take time off of law school to save up for her birth control? Why couldn’t we mandate coverage for women who have the disorder of polycystic ovary syndrome? And if her insurance won’t cover it, why can’t she go and pick up a pack of $9 a month pills from Target? What’s more who said she had to go law school at Georgetown, a Jesuit law school? If birth control were such a serious criteria in one’s life, wouldn’t you choose your law school accordingly? Fluke says that women should refuse to choose between their health and a quality education, but adult life is about making just such choices.
And if this problem is such a real one why don’t we hear from the women themselves, rather than Fluke, about their medical problems? Maybe if Planned Parenthood and other organizations ostensibly dedicated to women’s health weren’t so busy profiting from abortions, they could take some of their nonprofit largesse and give it to women in need.
Ah, but you see, college and law school, like birth control, is a right that comes, if not from our Creator, than from Obama, the creator of our laws.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, Citrix. No one cares where you advertise.
Nah.
Just dump them.
Then move on.
Outstanding post sir!
For those of you who haven’t tried it yet, this is the best tea I’ve ever had...no kidding.
Let’s all support El Rushbo by ordering some. Shipping is free.
I like the regular raspbery and blueberry the best.
It turns out that Citrix (via our boy Brett Caine) dropped advertising on Michael Savage’s show during the whole “CAIR is a terrorist organization” bs.
Apparently Citrix has a history of being afraid.
Citrix (Mr. Brett Caine, President: E-Mail: brett.caine@citrix.com, Tel: 805-690-2911
From AtlasShrugs.com (Brett’s name and email address are in this list of businesses who dropped advertising with M. Savage during the CAIR flap-up:
And any advertiser that capitulated to CAIR’s thuggery really ought to be boycotted. Boycott Office max(Mr. Sam K. Duncan Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer Office Max 263 Shuman Boulevard Naperville, IL 60563Tel: 630-438-7800 Fax: 630-864-4524 E-Mail: samduncan@officemax.com, investor@OfficeMax.com )and Citrix (Mr. Brett Caine, President: E-Mail: brett.caine@citrix.com, Tel: 805-690-2911; Laura McCormick, Vice President, Communications: E-Mail: laura.mccormick@citrix.com, Tel: 805-690-6435, and E-Mail: info@citrixonline.com, gotofeedback@citrixonline.com )”
Not sure about the others, but I haven't heard Snapple advertise on his program for years.
Funniest part is, now Rush is competing against them directly.
