Sophos has every reason to find more malware than anyone on here would expect to find on lost USB sticks. I've been an SA for a long time and Malware just isn't as common as the antivirus firms would like everyone to believe it is. I'd like to know what their definition of malware is for this informal "study". It's probably so loose as to be a joke. Whenever I've found malware, it's never removed by any antivirus program out there. They're all completely worthless, but I guess it keeps people working and that's great. If they did indeed find actual malware, which I highly doubt, then I'd say the USB sticks were planted for fools to pick up and shove in their hungry usb holes.
Of course they will expect you to work late uncompensated, that's what being "exempt" is all about. You're a professional, so you work until the job is done. By the same token, if you leave early one day, you're theoretically not supposed to take a PTO hit for that, but it never works out that way. Companies have managed to twist that around. Same thing as if you leave at 5 you're a clock watcher, but if you get in on time, that's just to be expected and apparently required no clock watching. It's a typical corporate double standard. This is just one more way politicians are handing our money over to the corporations who pay them. Start paying your senator and maybe you can have a voice, too.
I can get news like this from yahoo, if we're just going to start posting links. There's hardly anything technical about this and here's another secret shhh this stuff barely matters, even to nerds. A big charade and anybody who believes any of it has any basis in reality needs a real education. It's a 3 ring circus. The truth is this is a stupid time to even be concerned about the debt. Many more pressing matters to attend to. Nobody that knows anything thinks out debt is even a problem, especially in light of the percent of gdp compared to other nations. Whatever distracts you from what matters though!
They're probably not really either foolish or idiotic. Many antibiotics often do have an anti inflammatory effect. Example: an acute case of Hepatitis b (a virus) often cause massive inflammation of the liver. You'd treat that with an antibiotic, even though the cause is viral. So we'll get so called "smart" patients, who think they know everything and they're all confused why we'd treat something caused by a virus with an antibiotic. Same with many other afflictions, so people aren't really stupid thinking they have an affect, it's just not having any effect on the root cause. Maybe they learned to take antibiotics for viruses at the hospital.:)
The truth is, people aren't really all that stupid; they're just busy and get crummy explanations for everything, if they get one at all. After working their shit job (probably two of them), the average broke-ass American (with two unplanned kids) hardly has the time to come home and start a research project. And the tight lipped doctors, who barely speak to them, are hardly going to offer up anything (worried they'll be sued to death) and because doctors are generally kinda jerky, frankly. When's the last time you had a half hour chit chat about any little thing you could think of with your doctor? Unlikely. More likely you were rushed out of there in about 5 minutes. Long enough for him to prescribe something to shut you up and get you out.
I love how we sit around and make fun of the stupid people our system totally exploit

Not that I believe we're (US Govt) actively engaging ETs, but it's not like they wouldn't just outright lie. What's top secret is top secret. Do people honestly think the WH or Obama are any more honest than any other branch of govt or a corporation or any institution or even more honest than Bush? Think again. In many ways, Obama is less honest and worse than Bush. Just google Chomsky Obama and you can listen to why Obama is just the same as Bush and they ALL lie.
This reminds me of Sun and I miss them, too. VMWare is so easy to administer compared to KVM. Just can't stand mucking around in KVM...difficult to set up and manage. VMWare probably got greedy. I know we used to pay a grundle on Sun servers and Hardware, but the contracts (Platinum) were the biggest expense. That's all RedHat enterprise now.
Any other company would have acted faster, if their junk was in the "news" as much as Apple's junk is. Apple knows it can get away with it, so it does what it can get away with, just like a child.
Wow, Google really is indexing now.

>Of course it is in trouble. It's always been in trouble. It's naively implemented, the client software was insecure, many of the exchanges were insecure, it faced (and still does) huge regulatory questions, it was a magnet for scammers, hackers & drug dealers, it was hyped through group think into a huge bubble which has since collapsed, people hoarded coins rather than spending them and are now panic selling, and the system itself has many of the characteristics of a ponzi / pyramid scheme. I'm sure some people profited from it, and many more didn't. It's a broken system and this much has been obvious for a long time.
You could have just as easily been describing US currency
The US government is able to go into any of the cell providers data side and look at anything with no warrant and no notice to the carrier. Both carriers I worked for provided back doors into the SMS/MMS platforms. The feds even had their own cutesy username (Leo) and password was equally adorable. Why bother with a warrant when you can just go look at the info, then if you see anything interesting, ask for the warrant. Apparently it saves Leo time. Marriage of corporations and governments = what?? That's right, folks.
Finally got that facial I've been waiting for from Sprint! Was delighted to receive a letter last week letting me know that they're ditching my unlimited data plan for my mediocre Evo, but not to worry, I can simply pay more to retain if (if I act now!!) Isn't that nice of them? I didn't even have to wait for my contract to come up! Was delighted how they can change the contract mid-stream, but if I were to ask for a phone upgrade before the two year mark....well you get the picture. I'm sure all of this is in preparation for the DATA HOG that is iPhone. Apple's off to annihilate another data network!! Think I'll buy the iPhone just to drive their tech support nuts with issues.
Uh you're not mentally ill because you don't like facebook. I can talk to anybody in a bar or a group. There's nothing weird or anti social about not wanting to say anything in front of 200 people you don't know when notes are being kept for eternity. Facebook is the opposite of a "social situation" and I'd argue most of its hardcore users are antisocial and passive agressive attention whores.
In case you ever wondered if the corporate news is just pure propaganda, apologies for the establishment and last, but not least, explosive, worthless "breaking news", like Irene. This is the US corporate news fulfilling its institutional role; Distract you while the US business elite steal your money and changes laws to make stealing from/spying on you easier, then apologize when they do. Hope you enjoyed the hurricane and Casey Anthony coverage! Didn't cost anything but freedom and money.
Sounds like they need more 26 year old geeks working on Wiki. Personally, I think the site is pretty useful, but go on and have housewives from Tennessee writing articles about their battle with dermatitis and it just might resemble 'Yahoo Answers' soon. This is such a non-crisis.

You're right. If Budweiser can have 3% beer just for Utah laws, this can be accomplished.

Why can't these little penis types just stick to monster trucks? I know it looks dumber, but it's a lot less expensive.
Wow congratulations. You're able to cover an area the size of Delaware. I wonder what you could do for Big countries.

Of course they think it's 4G. Apple marketing is well aware of the customer confusion, I'm sure
