1. Slashdot is an online community. There's your answer, the virtual community is not a myth.
2. Maybe there's something to be said about a digital divide? Maybe we don't want to deal with the undesirables. Let the poor go use their net appliances and access aol. Keep them away from the net proper. Plebeans use aol, Patricians use the net. What, there's something wrong with being part of the elite?! --

been working part time with companies for 4+ years now... and everywhere I go, I've been bless with Managers who tell me what to do, when to do it, and don't freak out if I can't get something done. Every now and then, just when I'm about to freak out from frustration, they give me something incredibly trivial (but still necessary) that needs to be done just to stoke my ego. And two out of three managers didn't mind me playing Blizzard games on the job. The other manager would actually appreciate it if I played Quake 3 more often, but it makes me motion sick... That's at my current job, where I a chess table sitting outside my cube and everyone is welcome to decide the next move against me. Open source chess. ^^
My honest belief is that IT peeps think management is bad because the IT people in question are anti-social. I'm incredibly anti-social, I don't get along with anyone who doesn't have an aim sig or icq #. But I can be polite, and eventually I realize that the people who annoy me at work aren't annoying to me anymore, because something changed inside me.
If you think that the management is bad because they make you work long hours, then don't work long hours. You are a prize, you are rare, you are valuable. They could train everyone in computer science, but only a few will actually be any good at it. If they want to mess with you, up at leave. monster.com if you don't think that's a good idea. --

The air is cleaner in NJ than in Manhattan (smell of the swamplands notwithstanding, i don't live round there) and the fact that it's easier to get to if you live in Jersey, makes Jersey quite attractive for IT people. Besides Bell Labs, we have shitloads of tech shops all over the place. I can see the reasoning behind why a Jersey shop would be considered inferior to a NY shop, but other than that, fuck you NY yuppies. *ahem* --

If someone audits your security, and declares it to be secure, then it is secure until someone breaks in.
The key is to get more than one group to agree that it's secure, might be expensive, but more minds are better than one. Redundency and stuff.
And when someone does break in, tough shit, make sure you have plenty of logging taking place. If you don't want it secure, remove it from the internet. --

If the people doing the logging are polite enough only to use cookies to see how many times one person reloads the page (unique visitors) then web bugs will work fine.
