The reason I would do a credit check to decrease the liability that a person would potentially sell trade secrets or other proprietary information for money to settle credit card and other outstanding debts.
The reason for a piss test would be to weed out the people who would potentially come into work under the influence of drugs or alcohol which could cost a company a lot of money if an employee got hurt on the job and then would cost the company more money in possible litigation and workmans comp claims.
All this would be easily mitigated with a piss test, credit check, and criminal history since they can all be easily tied together with a rope.
If a company sees you as a liability risk through your credit then they should do anything to prevent you from working there. I only wished more companies did this. If i ran a company you better believe that a credit check from all 3 credit reporting agencies would be done along with a criminal background check and a piss test for drug/alcohol use.
getting random BSOD's, and IT Help Desk people from walking to and from computer terminals to fix simple issues. I guess the more that you are up and about the more likelihood of getting hurt. No wonder Linux saves money it hardly goes down and usually a simple SSH Session is needed to fix something unless SSHD is dead.
I guess people cannot handle the truth of the matter and are unable to think collectively and realistically about coding and programming. I wonder who demodded my post down to troll level, because quite frankly it is 100% honest opinion. And is not troll worth the other 2 posts in reply to mine are 100% troll worthy. Think out side the box sheesh.
Also can you make it free from errors that may allow hackers to exploit code remotely?
Tell me you can, then create it. You would be a millionaire over night. You would also have more time as you wouldnt need to patch it because it would be the perfect operating system.
I dont think they are targeting say individual personal computers, but they maybe targeting the routers that are present at key places in the network.
Imagine infecting a major router in say Washington DC and essentially shutting out all traffic from people who live within Washington DC.
Instead of giving you 3 strikes they could just implement a process of instantly banning you from internet usage, throwing you in jail, confiscating your house and material possessions, and having your family disown you type of scenario. Just be glad you are given 3 chances to change your ways. The grass isnt always brighter on the other side.
if China or Iran or some other enemy country wants to attack the USA and the US government wants to start a botnet let me know i have 2 PCs on 24/7/365 on cable broadband, i will volunteer my PCs to work for the US Government as part of a botnet, Bush may not be my favorite president but i am still an American and know what side my bread is buttered on (just make a Linux version too)... I would too, and would build a more powerful computer to support the cause as well. Mac Pro with Dual Quad Core Xeons anyone?

Here is something you should learn to live by: "If it is created by man, then it can be destroyed by man.". Blaming MS for a few crashes is quite ignorant and down right stupid. Those AMD machines as well as the Intel ones probably had outdated drivers/programs that were in conflict with Windows XP SP3. I have had 100% Success on my machines at home with XP SP3.
People should really think before they open their mouths and post ignorant shit. Im getting tired of it.
I installed SP3 the day it was released and my computer has never ran better. It was a fast painless install, and the performance is even better now. My games actually work better. So far i am seeing a common consensus with the issues and that is drivers. People should check all their device drivers first and if they need to be updated then do so before upgrading to SP3. Make sure all other programs are fully patched and upgraded. If they know how flash the BIOS to a newer version, and then you can verify that it is the SP3 causing the issues instead of hardware.
I am so going to see this movie even if I have to get a baby sitter. I grew up on MacGvyer, and watched the show religiously not missing a single show/mini-movie.
I have hardly received any back scatter on any of my email addresses with Comcast, Yahoo, and my very own personal one. I guess im one of the fortunate ones. Could you all post the headers of these so called messages, so I can be on the look out for them.
I love how they are blaming Microsoft for loss of emails, didn't they think to back up the data manually instead of just building one.
They need to make a book called: White House Email Backup for Dummies:-D
You could essentially add this to any home/car audio system and have your entire music collection ready for play at just the touch of a button, and its small enough to carry in a purse or in a nifty bag. Would be awesome to see what else can be done with this.

Exactly, and thats what I would like to prevent.

Its all optional, you are not forced to enter your health care information.

summoned to take over Alltel. So I guess the circle guy will now be wearing a Verizon shirt in the commercials.

I guess the site which this article is about is inaccessible. Maybe the Blu-Ray people are DDoSing it?

So I guess the Russian Business Network will now start developing malware to make printers print non stop costing companies money in paper resupplies?
Well depending on the number of points and the level of speed of the tickets all it would do is take 1 ticket to lose your priviledges of driving.

I guess this is called a Virtual STD Outbreak?

I have my own domain and email server and I do not see anything like this.
It is Ubuntu 8.04 not Ubuntu 8.4. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
