(anyone in IT in the US getting whatever they need to do their jobs without any hassles, let me know where you work) You might want to try with the big oil companies such as Shell and Exxon. For them, figuring out what needs to happen and getting things in place in a timely manner is extremely important. Any delay will delay the entire folding out of a new oil well or pumping operation.
Now, this mainly stems from the fact that the oil business is something that has huge startup costs for any new production (means of getting the oil), and the profits gained from it are spread out over many years. Toss in inflation, and you begin to see why they care so much about timely results.
My father used to work IT for Amaco, and they often got the latest equipment so they could do their job just one day faster than they used to.
I fully agree. I hate blackboard... from the buggy sessions (timeout requires browser reset), to the incredible complexity that prevents most features from being used effectively, Blackboard is a mess. For each of the tools inside of the software suite, there is a simpler, free alternative. I really hope they are forced to re-evaluate their design.

Social engineering IS one of the easiest to exploit security holes. It isn't much of a surpise that laptops were stolen using this technique.
The question remains... will English Teachers/Professors view Veropedia as a valid source?
I somehow doubt it as they seem to be in love with print sources (atleast from my experience).
One definite backup I would like to see is duplicating the boot sectors... I've had it happen several times where the boot sectors got corrupted (or something) and had to reinstall.

You did that too? I had oh so much fun playing that game and modifying (breaking) it while I was learning qbasic.
Currently, FF3 for me is using 450MB of ram. Then again, keep in mind that I have around 60 tabs open with about 15 of them being java heavy.

This somehow reminds me of those jokes where somebody is printing out the internet...

Wouldn't the giraffe get out of the way if it hears a big loud thing coming at it?
