I work for a similar sized company, and our architecture team was built taking senior people from several different admin groups. Separation of duties, especially when you are covered by PCI, Sox, etc, is the norm.
As long as you have access to complete information as to the design, implementation, and how systems are running and working, you probably would not have unfettered access. It should not prevent you from doing your job. But you absolutely have to have a good working relationship with the people who do have that access.
Isn't it wonderful how a person can read a few lines of a post, and make all kinds of assumptions about them?
My "older kids" are all 18 and over. My younger daughters are 7 and 9. So yeah....I do let my older kids listen to what they want. They are old enought to vote or join the military....I don't think they have to have daddy approve of everything.
As for government telling us what is or isn't right for our kids...I take an active role in government (my wife works for the state of Kansas). Obviously, I vote for the people I agree with, and hold the same values as I do.
Regardless of how many records these rap groups sell, that doesn't prove that they have lyrics that are appropriate for my children. If you want your children to listen to them...that is your perogative. Somehow I doubt that not having them available in your local library wills stop you or your kids from buying them....nor would it stop anyone from buying it.
The "settlement" as we have seen in other articles is crap. Most of the cd's are from groups that no one wants to listen to.
As a parent in Kansas, I think the AG is right to refuse some of the cd's. I watch what my kids listen to (my older kids listen to all kinds of rap)..but not my young daughters.
If the record companies are pissed...so be it. They lost...didn't they?
TechTV/The Screen Savers did this about a month or two ago. They built a clone mac machine, and then added the PC Parts and processor to it.

I work for a movie exhibition company, and this weekend was huge for us....you know why? Because this was a fun movie...not a serious horror movie...
The fact that Katz didn't like it, and can't appreciate just going and losing yourself in a fun , campy movie is another reason I just ignore his writing completely. rm
I obviously don't understand what all of the fuss is about....
This is a RULE....and it is no different from a LAW. If you don't like the rule (law), then work to change it.
This is not something that the theatres just dreamt up...they have to abide by the rules also...or you see them on the 10:00 news with some "special report" about how they are just letting kids into any movie..."your damned if you do..." you know the rest.
I have five children...the three oldest (16, 13, 10) saw both South Park and American Pie. I also went with them. Now..I work for a major theatre chain, and I probably could have gotten around the rules...but I didn't. If parents want to let their children see this stuff (I obviously don't see a problem with that..) fine...just go see it with them. Then you can answer the inevitable questions..and explain that this is a movie...not the real world.
Grow up guys...have some children...then relook at this issue. I have a feeling you might see it differently then.
