Also it isn't just IT. Last months pay got delayed at my company, which really shouldn't happen since KPMG is responsible for taking care of payments for our company. The reason? The lady responsible for authorizing the transfer was the only one with the passwords to do so, and she was in labor.
Really? Did her manager not notice her getting huge and start to plan ahead?
Watch for more tasks to be outsourced at your company with management like that.
First rule of running a business: don't screw up payroll.
We use Altiris Deployment server -- it clones FAT32, NTFS, and later versions have ext support. It works WONDERFULLY, and has desktop management tools included. Just the imaging portion of it is cheap -- I don't think its licensed per-client.
I continue to question why people are so upset about this. Microsoft runs the service. Why shouldn't they restrict access to their paying customers (i.e. windows users). They're giving it away for free.. it's not a Linux user's right to use the thing.
Most address grabber tools do not write their own web browser/html interpreter. They simply link using IE's APIs, so anything IE can decode / unobfuscate, so can most email harvesters. The best solution is to not post email addresses on the web.
We have (partially) solved the last mile problem using DSL and Cable. We all thought the "last mile" was going to be the golden egg, but it has caused a host of other problems (witness broadband companies going belly-up due to high bandwidth demands of P2P software..)
We need to figure out a way to drastically improve the infrastructure of the backbones and "next-to-last" miles.
Most viruses nowadays are actually trojans. How would you CLEAN a trojan? There's no data in there to salvage. And I can't imagine studying and detecting fingerprints of morphing viruses is a simple matter either. But to you, all commercial software is a joke, isn't it. Yet, you pirate it anyway....
At my school (UIUC), Microsoft gives away WinXP to CS majors, and OfficeXP at many CS events, all of which must be activated. With the current fad of "software activation," it seems like a case of "the first hit is free."

Looks to me like the record company execs are ordered to go to the courthouse in downtown Minneapolis, not Duluth.

Great! Now all of the exploits and worms written by our overseas friends can be for other operating systems besides Windows.

You never use the back tick? How's Microsoft Windows treating you?

They already have this technology. It's called WINS. Its awesome. Just ask anyone.
Japan and Korea are leading... great. We'll never follow. Why would the US want to communicate with them? So we can get more spam in asain languages?
They already lead the way in halfwitted sendmail administration.
