Do you rejoice when you get an email about an upgrade of the vending machines in the company cafeteria, or do you worry about the new machines not carrying the kind of soft drinks or candy bars you're used to? That's basically how a typical office worker feels about computers. Spend a week working helpdesk and you'll understand that very very clearly.
That's why when you manage a large pool of workstations you want the bare minimum that users need to do their work, and why you want that bare minimum to be set in stone. Otherwise you're just annoying users and adding more support tickets to your queue.
The biggest problem I've had over the years is getting an ISP to give me IP addresses from a good static block. If there are dynamic addresses within that block or lots of spam coming from IP addresses from your provider then you're toast. Currently have a customer I have set up email servers using AT&T uverse business DSL with static IP addresses. No problems. I'm running qmail with starttls . I used mxtoolbox to check my server and implemented all recommendations. So far I've had no problems. The customer maintains cell sites for all the major cell companies - Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint, AT&T, etc and uses the server mainly to communicate with them with no problems.
Cingular Wireless was a mobile phone company from United States. Cingular is now owned by AT&T. AT&T Mobility LLC (branded and referred to as AT&T) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T that provides wireless services to 100.7 million subscribers in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. AT&T Mobility is the second largest wireless telecommunications provider in the United States behind Verizon Wireless, which has 107.7 million customers as of the third quarter of 2011.
I understand completely. Theft is blatantly encouraged. At least with a US company theft is the exeption rather than the rule and the thieves are a bit less direct about it or try to purvey some sort of legitimacy.
Have dealt with Alibaba twice. The first time was with a legit vendor and was fine. The second time was with a bad vendor and got shipped misrepresented junk. Alibaba sided with the vendor and cost me 200.00 USD. Dramatically different than dealing with US based similar companies. Non-existant customer service and will screw you over in a minute. Will never buy through them again.
Most states have laws regulating car dealers that make it difficult and expensive to open a new dealership. You also must be a dealer to sell new cars. A manufacturer, by law, must sell through a dealer and cannot sell directly to the consumer. The status quo is reinforced by dealers associations in each state (and nationally) that spend lots of money on lobbying to keep the current system intact. Tesla wants to sell direct and bypass the dealers. The dealers are fighting this tooth and nail.
Fox News is Murdoch's main "news" outlet. Given time he can probably bring the Wall Street Journal down to their level. Why on earth would anyone want to even read such outright lies and propaganda much less pay for it.
Fooled around with Minix a couple years back. It appears to be a great teaching tool and I can see where it would be a versatile concept development platform. With Andrew S. Tanenbaum (duh, the guy that developed the OS) spearheading this project I see possibilities. He seems to just the type ornery old non-conformist b*astrd that could possibly pull it off. Hell, he makes most of us liberal open source microsoft-baiting pinko commie linux lovers (just flamed myself to save time) look conservative.

Dansguardian works well on the network level and is easy to set up and configure the degree of filtering.
