Bullshit - my papers and effects are my papers and effects, regardless of where I keep them.
This is likely coming from someone that has never had a wife or girlfriend change the locks on an apartment that is rented in her name only. Good luck getting your papers and effects when that happens.
Oh wait, this is slashdot....let me rephrase.

Nice! I didn't know that. I used to see the ads while watching Bowling for Dollars. I still call the left side of the headpin the 'Brooklyn side' because of that show.
I love it, but does anyone outside the NY metro area get it?
Oh wait, would anyone inside the NY metro area care about anyone outside the NY metro area?
Nevermind...
Seriously, if there was even an incremental risk that a powered on or active cellphone could cause a problem during a flight then they would not allow you to take them on the plane. They certainly wouldn't blindly trust people to follow the request given to turn the things off. That is just plain common sense. There is no risk at all, its simple bullshit, probably falling into the 'security theater' category.
I seem to recall John Dvorak writing an article maybe 10 or so years ago in which he theorized that the reason behind the ban was strictly accounting related. Something to do with the fact that someone on a call would switch towers too fast for calls to be tracked properly, and thusly billed properly. That makes a hell of a lot more sense to me.
And everything to do with VMWare. No one is buying servers because they have no need to. When I can replace 400 physical boxes with a couple dozen ESX hosts why wouldn't I?
I guess another way you can look at it is Intel has innovated themselves out of a market. Multi-core procs have enabled the virtualization boom, but they didn't charge enough for them. At least the auto industry was smart about it - new cars last twice as long as cars from 15-20 years ago, and prices have gone up accordingly.
Completely agree with this. Problem is, management typically looks at Fuckwit no differently then they look at a printer. Oh, burnt out the fuser? No problem, just go get a new one. Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.
BYOD should be amended to mean 'Bend Y'ass Over, Dude'.

Then I will watch for sure.
Coming from a former bank guy, they don't have keys to the customer's lock. They do, however, have a maintenance guy with a powerful drill.

....... What's the explanation if not...?
Likely because 99.86% of the people that use email can't even pronounce Diffie-Hellman, let alone know what it is.
This.
It will just end up pieced into a bunch of farm subsidy or highway dedication bills over the next few months.

Then I am in favor of it. Keep the business and $$ inhouse.
I wonder if they realize that can cause a pretty serious explosion?
Cue presidential assassination conspiracy theorists in 3.....2.....
Anyone that has seen Them already knew ants made all kinds of nasty sounds.
If I had mod points I would mod this (+1) Threw Up In My Mouth A Little Bit

Now Atari. My formative years have just received a major nutshot.
They were likely the only things of value in the building.
You should be fine, real vaginas have more teeth. Or so I have been told.
With enough media attention this will be shut down.
I would love to mod this funny but am out of points.
So instead of an icepick in the back of the neck will these guys get stabbed with a stylus?
Maybe because the F stands for food and the D stands for drug?
Crap, I wish I knew this before I started giving them $75 a year for free roadside assistance! Bastards!!
We aren't done completely hosing Iran's nuke program just yet. Once that is completely kaput then have at it!

Nice to see someone has a pair of balls. Not very common on an adult named 'Jimmy'.
