A guy in my local (sorry, no citations) was sent an indecant image of (obviously) a child, and called teh police. They duely arrived, took a look at it, and took the guy out of the room.
"Ok Sir, i'm going to go out the front door and close it behind me. Before I knock on your door again, that picture will have been deleted from your computer and you'll have forgotten about it. IF you mention it, i'll have to arrest you for posession of an indecent image of a minor."
Even the cops think things like this are best swept under the carpet.
We don't have an IT Department in my school; It's the '"The Microsoft Way" Product Demonstration Department'.
The day I have to stop translating "computer" into "hard disc" to get them to reboot properly (and not power off the monitor) is the day they become something more than MS sales droids.
Starks was handing out discs at a school? I thought it was a co-student (as stated in the stub, so no Ring of TFM necessary) and Starks had no prior contact with the institution, or its representatives, before that time.
Starks didn't try and indoctrinate anybody. You're talking rubbish.
We'd pay to see stuff at the cinema, and own it on DVD / Blu-Ray if they'd just stop suing everybody they can find and put the money into funding good script writers and directors.
I seriously worry about how the American media industry does business nowerdays.

I know exactly what you mean with the "ain't bust, don't fix it" routine.
A switch blew after a power surge in the Primary School I tech for, and in my absence the IT Manager bought a 24 port hub, not a switch. Needless to say, the latency across the whole network is just attrocious now, but he's too proud to write it off and buy a proper switch. It wouldn't even need to be anything fancy, just as long as it's not pumping 24 clients through one port on another switch (bogging that down), all logging on at the same time at the start of the lesson, all loading the same CD images from the CDServer.

If you feel your workers need to be supervised to ensure they're working constantly, you need to re-assess your hiring policies.
Numerous studies[citation needed] have found that workforces often work more productively when not constantly monitored and penalised for small infractions; 5 minutes checking Hotmail won't break the bank, but will refresh the enthusiasm and interest of the employee in the work they're doing. 5 minutes clearing your head can make a lot of difference over the rest of the day.

Why is this modded troll? It's the *ONLY* statistic I care about.
It's why I have xp and not Vista, and it's why i'm hoping against hope that game devlopers will start coding for Linux.
Between artificially inflated hardware costs and DRM lock-in, Linux is light-years ahead.
Once again, consumer choice wins.
Because English is so wide used, right?, it isn't even speaked half good on the internet for Christ sake.
Oddly enough, it took the FOSS comunity to get IE on Linux.
Why you'd use it, though, I don't know.
The levels of W1N in this post are varied and abundant.

This is win^n.
So, by your theory, the industry should be paid for their crappy stuff.
Isn't this what they're fighting for, and what we're not doing?
Because it's crappy?
