I realize you said free, but I haven't found anything free that works well for the variety of situations I end up supporting (family, non-profit, and corporate).
I use the $10 pass for 24 hour access to gotoassist.com. (think citrix quality remote support) I then try to do all my support in that 24 hour window for those people I don't help often. Some days I'm frustrated enough that the $10 is cheap for my sanity.

I see everybody recommending natural gas, which makes great sense. However, in Utah they keep saying we'll eventually have a large earthquake. I believe the first thing they do with an earthquake is to turn off the natural gas because of possible broken lines.
Anybody have any experience with generators in earthquakes?
I lived in Japan for two years and learned spoken Japanese. I have forgotten a lot of it because I simply don't have the opportunity to use it very much.
If you don't have the opportunity to regularly use it, then you will always struggle to maintain it.
If you choose to learn a second language, choose one that is spoken by people around you or in your community. It makes a huge difference!
Actually, singing without vibrato is a singing style just as much as singing with vibrato.
"Mixed" singing uses both, classical uses all vibrato, and a Capella uses almost none.
Your statement indicates you prefer "mix" as a singing style.
I can't stand reading Digg because of the crap there; pro-marijuana, pro-sex-with-teachers, pro-Obama, anti-Hilary, anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-Christian, anti-religion, etc, etc.
Slashdot needs to stay a normal news site for techies.
Then why does it hurt for this to sit on Wikileaks? Seriously, if there is nothing bad there, who cares. It isn't violating any persons privacy. The church isn't a person. It's an artificial construct just like a corporation. The law needs to stop treating both as people and treat them as constructs. Churches and corporations do not have rights to privacy even though the people inside them do.
Companies protect intellectual property all the time. Governments protect data (how do you make a nuclear bomb?). There are plenty of good reasons for privacy inside organizations.
Maybe I can sift through your hard drive later because "if there is nothing bad there, who cares."
Good grief, trying to use what happened over 150 years ago to justify this sort of thing is rather silly, don't you think. I can well imagine that religious groups don't like the public peering in on them. But society has a vested interest, considering the special considerations given to religious groups, to be able to peer in. The Church of Latter Day Saints made its peace with the US government and people a long time ago, so quit trotting the old "we've been persecuted" line.
Would you say the same thing about blacks and slavery? How about the Jewish religion and the Holocaust?
I was pretty deep into Mormonism for a while. I served a Mormon
mission, graduated from the church-run BYU, and was appointed to
various leadership positions (with 6:00am Sunday meetings to talk
about other peoples' sex lives and all).
You are implying the leaders' intentions are not pure. The purpose of the Sunday leadership meeting is to discuss organization of the congregation and needs of the members. Occasionally, a specific member may be discussed in an effort to help that person (the need may be financial, spiritual, schooling, vocational, etc). In the meetings I attended for several years, the rule was that we only discussed an individual if we were going to do something to help them -- no gossiping and doing what you imply.
Those that serve and attend these meetings are not paid clergy, they are typical people like you and me. They sincerely try their best to help those around them, just as Christ would help people.
LDS do not "still practice plural marriage." How many times does the LDS church have to say it for people to listen? What you state is not church teachings or church doctrine. It is not what is taught in General Conference or in LDS chapels.

Ethics In IT
·
· Score: 1
I think a key dimension to ethics in IT is that a person's ethics, or choice to follow their ethics, can change depending on the stress, importance, severity of the situation, or possible repercussions from a situation.
There are the regular ethical situations for IT like reading the boss's email. If you add stress, influence, etc, to the mix a person will do things they won't normally do.
What if... ...you heard that the company may outsource the IT department. ...you heard they may fire you. ...they may sell the company. ...they may close your division. ...you made a mistake that may cost you your job, but that you can cover up. ...somebody offered you money for employee salary information and you're house is about to be foreclosed on.
Raise the stakes and people will do things they won't normally do. It seems that many people live by two sets of ethics; those for every day life, and those for when they are at risk of something.

Now you're just making crap up...
