I would have put it differently.
Bad management is not unique to IT. Neither is the stress directly due to the nature of the job (social work, or anything else that puts you in touch with disadvantaged people... medicine... just name it.
Which by the way gets to the same conclusion: most X have considered quitting due to stress. I know several (non-IT) people who did quit due to stress.
The first part, where "More walking and biking would lead to lower obesity rates for Portlanders", I think only requires a couple working neurons, so I do too sincerely hope they didn't need the model to find out that.
The second part, where less obese people would find walking and biking more appealing, well I sincerely hope they didn't use the model for it either, as they could have as well pulled it straight out of their asses. People from Portland are posting here they find it useful to walk and use bikes, and it desn't look like they are counting "fitness" among the reasons. I don't know in Portland, but where I live, if people could use their cars to go to the bogs they'd just do, irregardless of their obesity or slimness.
Exactly.
But hey, if you look at Microsoft's LIS draft, you'll see that there is nothing to worry about, and/or nothing a Congress member will worry about, or understand.
(And just to quote TFA from yesterday: "A request for clarification we sent to Microsoft has remained unanswered so far.")
Well, whoever is behind the PSN facts, it looks like they weren't dumb enough to leave their names around, so technically they are anonymous:P
We have to admit this trend of giving things general labels is really relaxing. Somebody blows something up, it's Al Qaeda. Somebody "hacks" something, it's Anon. If it wasn't like this, imagine the amount of time journalists (or professional investigators!) should spend doing, OMG, research and even investigation to find the actual causes of things. The stress. The fatigue. (The chance of being laid off if your work doesn't bring results.) So much easier like that: something happens, you have somebody to blame in a matter of minutes.
And this way, it is much easier to hide your own responsibility as well, at least to the general public... only a few will know (or care) about the "hack" being bad password policies and/or overconfidence (I'm looking at you HBGary), poor security, and you know, the usual reasons for "Anonymous's" "hacks".
Side Note: not talking about terrorist attacks here... but the Al Qaeda reference is really appropriate.
...90% of Sophos "news" feed from the last months consists in highlights of Facebook scams, warnings about "specially engineered" posts, and the likes. Maybe they are just trying to con FB into hiring them as their "Security Provider"?
Just for the hell of it: if You can't be infected by something you can't run, the logical consequence would be to never run anything.
But don't take that as something personal. Of course the real thing to do is to avoid significant security risks. (Such as, just to try and stay on topic, fishing a message out of junk and open whatever attachment it comes with.)
Including not being vulnerable to Flash exploits?
Not being able to run something is a curious criterion for invulnerability.
If we were to think like this, why not migrate to Multics. It's "not vulnerable" to almost anything under the sky.

Q. How Do I Convince Management To Hire More IT Staff?
A. you don't.
Ubuntu ceased being relevant sometime around 2011. The walled garden approach does not work with the open source crowd.
Yes you can. Perhaps you own(ed) an old one?
Nope. They sell in other countries, too. Just bought one, and I don't live in the US or UK...

Oh noes you mentioned the hosts file... countdown running...
NoScript should do.
I'm afraid stupidity is not a "suitable" (sorry...) offense. Maybe based on criminal negligence...

A polysaccharide.
Yes, I think this is the saddest thing ever. I don't even dare RTFA. TFS is already more than I can stand.
I do see a lot of risk to confusing the brain about normal mussel use if not done properly.
These hate-fueled, misleading claims made by oyster producer shills must be stopped! Mussel is a perfectly healty and safe food!!!1
