1. Block out Facebook.
2. For small shops, get rid of Exchange and go to Gmail. For larger get some sort of black box virus filter like what Barracuda makes on top of existing email AV. Use Spamhaus blocking lists.
3. Encourage users to use FireFox and AdBlock instead of IE when possible. Not always possible since many corporate apps only run on IE.
4. Centralize management of AV and Microsoft Updates.
5. Make user education continuous. Give real world examples of how failure to follow proper procedures can harm them and IT infrastructure.
Many classes are already moving to a web based model where you have to pay some $70 a semester for a login. Unfortunately, that is in addition to the dead tree version that runs $170 and will net you $75 on the buy back.
Since dust is so difficult to define, maybe they should set a standard for what is and is not dust. Since it came up from this mission they could call it the Plank constant. That isn't used for anything else is it?
This is less about Linux and more about going after Google's flank. They don't even have to actually go to court to stir up enough FUD to give developers and implementers second thoughts. Who wants to be tied to a product line that may spend years mired in court? While the MS lawyers may have a hard on for the idea, the corporate leaders should think long and hard about taking that approach. A lingering court case would not only takes some wind out of Google's sails, but stop MS in their tracks too. They would do better to concentrate on improving Azure.
"The new software is only a framework, raw enough that it's still missing a "back" button." You can't say it isn't forward thinking if it won't let you go back.
Hoodies that say "This is not the hoodie you are looking for" is ripe for geek fashion. Of course, only those resistant to Jedi mind powers would be able to find it.
"Password recovery" is about the same swarthy euphemism as "waste management" or "escort service." Why did an advertisement for hacking passwords get on/.? Aren't their IRC channels for that sort of thing?
It is a legitimate danger. You never know when your evil twin will steal a Law Giver, frame you for murder, and get you cast out in the Cursed Earth to be eaten by fundamentalist cannibalistic cybernetic hillbillies. Happens all the time.
So you have just hired a bot master. How do you pay them? You know they are dirty hackers, so it isn't like you would just give them your credit card number or Pay Pal account. Maybe the guy just wakes up and finds a crate of Jolt and Hot Pockets on his doorstep.
It was 29 domains, but some of them pointed to the same site. I wouldn't be surprised if they were CIA fronts. The way back machine has it, but it isn't in English.
Its funny when you go to the trouble of encrypting a laptop and then see they have their user name and password taped to bottom. Its also funny when the encryption software bricks the laptop. I'm looking at you McAfee.
Seriously? They charge you an extra $30 for a power cord? I'm guessing the high price for the iPad is for the early adopting Mac fan boys. In a couple of months the price will drop just like it did on the iPhone. I still don't want one.

So they have overclocked the LHC? I hope they upgraded the stock heat sink and fan.

Remember that old quote about how the Internet interprets censorship as damage and routs around it? That doesn't apply anymore.
"Watanabe told me he was particularly interested in scanning manga comics" Why does cool Japanese tech always end up back at tentacle rape?

"Come on, China! You used to be cool!" Expecting an oppressive regime to be flexible is usually a precept to disappointment.

Coronal mass ejections? I think I saw a clip of that on redtube.com.

We have been measuring our bandwidth closely using numerous methods. The test at broadband.gov match what we get from other tools.
I hear in Canada they call Canadian Geese just geese. Also, their bacon is round.

Nintendo better get a good lawyer. You know they are going to sue.
If someone wants to blow $1000 on their e-peen, more power to them. My little i5 system ($600 total system cost) can run anything just fine.
...has egg on their face? Seriously, I really like NewEgg. Doesn't seem to be their fault.
