I use VMWare because I write books and it's far more convienient to have a given operating system on which I'm writing in a window than dual booting or even using a switch box.
I got an account on the z series developer box where I get my own virtual server and compiled qmail, bind, etc, etc. Why did they have to release a special sendmail to run on it? Did they simply cross-compile it?
Your comment (and your company policies) are exactly what the article and paper are discussing.
"The present concept permits -- and even encourages - 'Big Brother' searches," wrote Judge Rosenbaum. "... just as an employee does not surrender all privacy rights on the company's premises, so they should not be automatically surrendered on the company's computers."
You don't have the right to search my wallet (or purse, for those so inclined) when I come to work or go home through the door, so why can you search my personal email just because it goes through the server?
I don't agree or disagree with any of this. I haven't had enough time to form an opinion yet. That said, these are the questions that are the issue in this case.
That's totally understandable, and actually something I hadn't thought about. There are, however, a large number of other ways in which to send confidential documents to competitors (i.e. on dead trees), and if you're not allowing PGP because you're worried about that, you've got the wrong employees.:)
The worst thing I have heard in regards to this is an employer who fired an employee for using PGP on their company system. It was against the rules, so I understand the firing, but the rule is wrong. I should have the right to send encrypted mail from work if I feel like it. I wouldn't get in trouble if I wrote an encrypted letter using a one-time pad or something. I use PGP for my email at my job all the time (to mail the SO).
Those types of movies have been around for a long time. Remember Soylent Green? They lived in a dome. You only got to see nature movies before you died.
This could be like a real world aimbot. Feed all of that info into a scope on the friendly sniper's weapon to get the enemy sniper. Or hook it to something like a phalanx system that they use on the navy ships. Those things move pretty dang fast.

Actually, according to the style guides, there is a hyphen in E-mail and it's capitalized.
I think ALL of apple's GUI designers are blind! Hahahaha.
Would be nice if the publisher accepted anything but MS Word.
Not when it's a beta that gets reinstalled often, like Windows .NET Server in my particular case.
Why would you WANT to work twice as many hours? I can't wait to get the hell out after 7 1/2 and go do something that's NOT work related.

Hahaha, that's the uber-nerdiest gathering I've ever seen.
Keep in mind, most slashdot readers code for free!

Your bias is because you just happen to write the best online comic there is? DS RULES!
Of course. It was a typo and I didn't preview first. Stupid me.
Nuff said.
WTF are you talking about? An AAMRAM is an air to air missile. The acronym stands for Air to Air Medium Range Missile. It is an AIM-120.

That makes a lot of sense then, I would have to agree with the rule in such a situation.
But look at the parent of my comment:
"um... According to the article it was 1 to 2 meters across and 30 metric tons.
That sounds car-sized to me."
I was taking a bit of a liberty with the definition of "car-sized" in that context to make an obscure Simpsons reference.

I'd like to see a car that weighs 30 tonnes. "Woohoo, look at that pavement fly!" H. Simpson.

How long until I start getting AOL2 CDs in my mailbox?
Now all we need is a robotic batter. We could network the two together and eliminate humans all together.

And SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
