another question is how is Joe average who barely set up his home wireless network going to even begin to try and keep logs? Are the feds going to send him to school, or do they expect him to pay someone to do it for him?
That all depends on the situation. If you are under some form of ISO documentation or some other such documentation standard due to what your company works with/on then you do not want anyone to be able to make changes.
I understand that you want to make sure the procedure reflects what the person performing it does. In many cases the documentation is there to make sure the procedure is performed the same way every time. It really depends on how critical your processes are and what procedures we are actually talking about. I agree that there are usually better ways to perform tasks. Which is why you would want a revision submission process in place. It all really depends on how much you have to care about documentation integrity.
I would think instead of having the users edit the actual working process documentation, that they should rather be able to submit a revision. If anybody can make changes to it, you may as well not have it. Your process will lose it's integrity because some moe thinks that step 2b isn't necessary.
I'm glad somebody beat me to this rant, documentation is your friend. As such I'll just offer up what I do; keep it simple as possible. If a word doc with bullets suffices do that. You can always link to other documents for further explanation when needed.
The only driver issues I have had with Win7 beta, is my unsigned drivers, and I am sure there is a way around that. I just have yet to care enough to find out.
So what about my actual digital camera, it is small, about the same size as a some cellphones, it makes no noise and I can turn the flash off.... what is the difference? Who is this law designed to protect? Surely not the sexting youths....
Names and details about soldiers do fall into FOUO, however the article does mention a mission briefing and equipment list. Depending on the details found in the mission brief and the equipment list that could go beyond FOUO and into a classification that could get someone into a good amount of trouble. Banning removable devices is all well and good, but enforcing it is another thing, unless they disable the USB ports on the towers I don't see how this can be realistically enforced.
I've always had good luck with Seagate, never had any issues with them so this was surprising to me. Also a bit annoying since I'd recently bought a 500GB Barracuda.
OK I think we're forgetting that there is a very large number of people who are computer illiterate. People who have issues with basic functions of Windows, even though they are familiar with it as an OS. Now take someone who has no clue that there is anything other than Windows and Mac, give them some form of *nix and yeah they aren't going to have the first clue. Dell should have never urged her to keep it. Granted her claiming that it prevented her from going to college (online or otherwise) seems like a stretch. I mean where did she seek help?
Virginia Beach VA tried to do something very similar to this at the Ocean front. To try and keep a nice family friendly atmosphere for the tourists. It took a while but it was found to violate free speech. They have signs with the red circle and slash with "@#$#!" characters in it. The signs are still there, but are now just suggestions.
Well excuse my bad math, I went to public school.
The proposed budget for K-12 '08-'09 is $48,344,575
(http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/agencies.html)
Yes that is a big number, and unfortunately I can not find a reasonably accurate number for public schools in CA... SO I have not done the math. Not that every school gets the same amount anyway.
I understand that the state collects more taxes, it has a very high income tax. It also has an extremely high upkeep for its infrastructure. What I would like to know is where are you getting that there is a Myth about under paid teachers and under funded schools. I have a relative who teaches history in Greenfield CA, he makes less than $40k a year, that includes the summer classes he teaches. In some places that would be a decent amount but in CA the cost of living is significantly higher. His school has also had to cut programs due to lack of funding.
I have to politely disagree with you. I was not saying that the budget was $X or that it was bigger than any other. I am saying that CA obviously has a good deal more schools than many other states to divide that budget between. Regardless of what said budget consists of. So if size and population can be used to roughly estimate the number of schools in a state... I would have to say it is relevant.
Not surprising due to California's sheer size and population. I imagine that when you get to the individual schools the budget they are given does not look as impressive.
What happened to no child left behind? How can we even begin to work on that when schools have no funding and teachers are under paid?
What this teacher is doing may be questionable, but the fact it has come to this is worse.
It depends on what the employer is looking for. If you have a good amount of practical experience that can outweigh a degree. Other cases the HR manager has no clue about IT and is just looking for a degree. If you lack any substantial experience but can obtain a Security Clearance you should be able to find one; might be as a contractor in the desert but it is out there. Also if you have a good deal of Certifications that helps, and "proves" you are capable.

That's exactly the wrong attitude.

Do you think we can get Cheney to take those nice folks at the RIAA on a hunting trip?

They just want us to be open and transparent as well..... Seriously though is anyone surprised by this?
I see this service being less popular than the Zune.

NCsoft may be small in the US but in Korea they are huge, I wouldn't exactly call them weak.
It looks like he shoved some servos into a Real Doll (as seen on HBO) and then posed it for the various pictures.
