Thailand is a shithole country, where beautiful women are forced to work as sex slaves to send money back to their parents, and the monarchy does nothing but sit on its ass and let it happen. What's it like to be a pimp, your excellency? Stand up and be a leader, stop oppressing your people and stop allowing them to oppressed, or are you just letting it happen because you secretly love the cock of some 12 year old Filipino boy in your ass, and the balls of a donkey on your chin? The monarchy can suck a fart out of my butt...wait a minute, you'd like that, because you're the type of people that would get off on that shit, and then have Australians pay 50 baht to see it. You suck, your country sucks, and you all felch M&M's from the asses of well trained shaven gerbils
Oh darn, now I can never go to Thailand....I hope I never have any connecting flights through Thailand, I may wind up in a prison where the King's mom works as a fluffer for prison porn.
As faster modes of transportation became readily available, the virus was able to spread farther and more frequently.
Think about it. Someone catches HIV in the late 1800's in Africa at the beginning of their stay. Let's say they stayed in Africa for a few years, and died on the ship voyage back to their homeland. Nobody really knew what they died of, they could simply say "A case of jungle fever"...(pun intended).
Fast forward 100 years...you can see where I'm going with this. As travel becomes cheaper and faster, more and more people are able to travel and/or hasten the spread of any disease.
Come on. Get over yourself. Cops, laywers, doctors, nurses, paramedics, military people... these walks of life deal with human misery, pain and suffering every day. If you're so worried about offending your sunny disposition maybe you should join a convent.
Listen, in any field if you can't take enjoyment out of what you're doing then (a) you should change your profession, or (b) realize if you can't do (a) you're in the same boat with about 80% of the rest of the population.
As a member of the IT world, security-related or otherwise, you have intellectual challenges and brain-teasers to deal with on a constant basis. Testing your knowledge and skill, forcing you to re-evaluate whether you're as good as you think you are every step of the way. And yet, even in such a position you're bound to go through times when you find yourself working for some real asshole(s). They're no fun, either, but you have to keep plugging away.
Either that or apply for a job at the factory where they make those "Have A Nice Day!" bumper stickers. Oh wait... that's in China. Never mind.
the only problem is that most employers don't take too kinda to Admins that call their users idiots because they keep doing the same stupid sh*t over and over and over again. The ID10T and PEBKAC error exist for a reason.
Your example of doctors, nurses, paramedics, cops?
all I have to say is that you don't know many cops and nurses. They're just as sick and twisted as we are...in fact IT people and Cops and Nurses get along quite well. (Lawyers are excluded because they're the scum of the earth)
Get off your high-horse, because you just got knocked down for thinking you know anything.

word........they really need to stop shitting up our internets.
duh?!?...this is nothing new. As if we didn't have enough problems with women, we have to keep the wheels of progress turning for idiot marketing people that have to be taught that just because you buy a wireless router, doesn't mean you're on the internet, and do it in such a way that he/she can get to the gym on time to work off that 1pound she/he gained over christmas break....but NOOooOOOo...we have to stick around and fix everything they broke over our vacation.
We have to stay glued to our desks. Glued to our cell phones. Glued to a connection while we're off......compounded by the fact that we have to field some of the STUPIDEST questions, repeatedly, and to the same people...it's mind-numbingly aggrivating, because we have to smile while we're telling someone they're an idiot, under our breath, and between our teeth....so you add stress on top of a shitty diet, horrible working conditions,and we have to do it, on time, underbudget, or face the prospect of getting outsourced to some "Dirka Dirka" carpet pilot, named "Mike".....(which is another rant in and of itself. Your name's not Mike, Mahatma...you're not fooling anyone, and the fact that you're lying as soon as you pick up the phone, immediately puts me on the defensive....but that's another rant for another subject.)
Does it really take a study to figure this stuff out? I mean seriously. It doesn't take a scientist with degrees in quantum physics to figure that out. My 7 year old nephew figured that one out..."Uncle, you need to get a new job, so you can work out more".
Studies like this are insulting to every IT worker , we know why we put on weight, we've been telling people for years!

They approach this from the stance that blind people are helpless, and have to have their hands held. What the hell do they think blind people have been doing for the last 200 years??!...(okay maybe not 200)...but they have their own system for dealing with currency. Discriminatory...please....let's make drinking fountains 2 feet tall with an extended drain and spigot so crippled people can use them, while we're all it, but nobody else can....and let's make seats in movie theaters triple wide, so morbidly obese people can pay the same price, but take up 3x's the room. And let's have special lanes of traffic for these electric car driving, sanctimonious @ssholes so they don't have to wait in rush hour traffic, because obviously they think they're better than everyone else, ergo they must be.
I drive a 1963 Ford Fairlane. I have a V-8 engine, and I get 30mpg....SUCK IT. (221ci, 3sp w/OD..for the skeptical...smallest V8 ford made)...blind people have their money separated with paper clips, and fat people rent movies at home.
End of story....and whoever did this study can die in a fire.

However, a project for work that I'm spearheading, is a Linux desktop project, so we can be ready to continue business in 2012 when MS ends extended support of XP, and still be functional.
I've tested about 6 different distro's so far, and functionality out-of-the-box...so far SUSE is winning hands down. (in a business environment). It's the first distro I've tested that was able to authenticate to an Active Directory domain, straight out of the box, no configuration. (granted, the shares didn't map correctly...but the point is, I could logon, because I had a valid AD account.)
I've got a few more distros to test, but right now, SUSE has become a very strong contender.
But everyone already does this. How many alts do you have?...I myself have 5 70's...but I know people who have all 10 slots filled.

I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm "dumber" as the article suggests, but I will say that there are many instances where I have to stop and think about something that I normally wouldn't have to. It takes me a little longer than it did to remember facts. I have difficulty remembering numbers especially. (I can still remember my childhood phone number, but I can't remember my parent's cell phone numbers. I never remember where I put my keys anymore, so I have to put them on a hook...if I can remember. I always lose the phone/remote/cellphone. It's easy to forget appointments, bill due dates, anything that's static in nature....are they sure this just isn't a product of aging?

Then you had to listen to some 20 year old, exclaim how wrong you were when you told him exactly what your problem was, and what you needed.
