I get your point but I think the context here is the initial change wasn't initiated as a severity of "Critical", which usually means something along the lines of core systems being unavailable.
The impact would probably have been high, or at least a significant risk probably identified. Whatever the cause, more than one person or group dropped the ball.
ITIL... so confusing.;-)
The way I RTFA, the arrest was for sending the e-mails, not for capturing the photo evidence of the officer speeding.... which I would have to agree is a pretty stupid thing to do. At least send it to the police department, city, country, newspaper, whatever.
Not sure if the results would have been different or better.
No kidding. We Canadians have a nasty habit of poking fun at the stereotypical American.
In actuality, we are more alike than different. Not sure if that's a good thing or not.:-/
God Bless Beer.
I read the article and giggled. Neat way to informally measure a currency.
Now I see all this debate... (sigh). Take it with a grain of salt.
I wish I had so much free time on my hands.
While I feel you pain, think about the logistics. For the sake of this argument, let's set aside the spam = free speech argument.
You receive a spam... report it... and the hunt begins. The originator is in Taiwan, Russia, Peru, Timbuktu where there are no laws against this. Maybe there should be, but there aren't. How would you propose locking them up?
Off topic, but the same goes for RIAA vs. AllOfMP3.com. They haven't broken a single law... in Russia. The laws of the USA are not those of the world.
Spam is a result of the internet being free, and virtually uncontrolled. As it should be. While there are laws against more serious matters like child porn, etc... most countries have equivalent laws banning such behaviour.
Simple answer, you want no spam, let one government control the internet as a whole. That'll work.
Then again, I'll stop using it.
Molson Canadian? Good beer? Please. Personally, nothing by Molson or Labatt do it for me. There are a slew of micro (and no longer micro) breweries out there.
Molson Canadian?
By the way, neither Molson, Labatt nor Sleeman are even Canadian these days. But hey... semantics.
I used to be ashamed of our technology on election day, but in light of news over the past several years, it really does seem to be effective.
Paper, golf pencil, large 'X', thousands of volunteers to do the counting. Nothing to explain to voters, no fear of technology. Of course there's always the "people" element... corruption can only be reduced (hopefully) by technology, not prevented.
Just my $.02.
Real world... most sales guys do this with their bigger clients. They may have their "official e-mail on the business card, but they give out their personal e-mail and cell.
If they ever leave the company, they still have that pool of contacts. Unethical, maybe... but it's reality. I think it's pretty much accepted in a lot of companies unless it's really abused. It can also work FOR the company... when they hire a new sales guy, along comes his entire professional network.
On the larger Exchange mailbox size... in my experience, most companies have quotas against such large mailboxes anyway, just to prevent everyone in the company from having 2GB each. My current quota is 100MB... which I do think is a little small for these days. But I get by.
Bah...
I deal with the Gov't of Canada daily. Like there's ever anyone available after 3pm. So they all start at 7am? The core hours 9am - 3pm seems like a more realistic work day for them.
Oh... and every holiday under the sun. Forget it.
And... 15 sick says per year
Ok... starting to grumble.

Who's laws would they use? Canada's? 14 is the age of consent. So a 15 year old would be fair game? Scary.
Whatever the solution, it will be blue.
