I've seen a couple downloaded movies which have a note that pops up stating "This copy property of Warner Bros..." and others that say "...if you are watching this, please call 1-800-...". This, to me, shows that there is as much distribution from inside as from Pirates. Of course, this won't be the line put out by the MPAA.
"The document reproduced below was presented at a Microsoft internal Linux Strategic Review held at the Microsoft offices in Berlin during Sept. 2002. I received it on 5 November 2002."
However, the survey itself is more than a year old!
"The study fielded between late-July and September 2001."
True document or not, it is seriously out of date. If it were conducted this year, I would expect it to cause more of a stir in the mainstream press.
You're right! Why don't all plugins pop up a confirmation every time one detects it is required to view the page I just clicked on. This is "insecure/violates my privacy/does something I didn't authorize......". Can we get the Opera guys to put in a prompt that reads my home page setting so when I start my browser I'll see "Are you sure you want Opera to access the Internet at ?" This would make me very happy. WARNING!!! Sarcasm, Sarcasm, Sarcasm, Sarcasm,...
I put in 1 and a half hours O/T today in a meeting with upper management re:implementing a "SADE stream" and there was at least a half hour about "Load Testing". If I ask everyone here to "Click on this link" when we are ready for the test, how many takers will I get?

Right now, I'll stick with my media "toolbox" and see what the "Swiss Army Knife" looks like when it's done.
Many Corps/Orgs have Acceptable Usage Policies already.
Our operation has had one for several years.
As a network admin, I would receive a monthly report from the regional center (mainframe & network gate) detailing network/internet use. We only validated the "Top Ten" offenders and reported contraventions we found. This was probably the most distasteful part of my job but, it was part of my job.
We also did regular server scans for suspect files such as.MP3,.avi,.mpeg, etc.
I haven't been in that job for a couple years, I stepped down to middle management.
Recently, two employees had 'net access removed for six months and were advised a note would remain on their personnel file for two years. They had uploaded a US Military handbook to one of the Unix boxes and this is what got them into trouble. I found it funny that none of the other folks who had e-books, mp3s, pr0n, video files were even questioned.
I guess that in the *buzz word warning* "Post 9-11" times we are in, some things are more serious than others. (BTW We are not a US company)
My point? If your company has an "Acceptable Usage Policy", read it, remember it and if you feel you must save this stuff to the network, be careful!
Indeed, we in Canada have been the subject of US experiments. There is no comfort in the fact that it was with the Canadian governments co-operation or in the fact they have done it to their own citizens.
The Canadian government has announced compensation for victims of brainwashing experiments that were conducted in the 1950s and 1960s with financing by the CIA.
The de-patterning experiments were carried out on about 80 people and who were drugged and subjected to electrical shocks and other experiments to clear their brains.
The experiments conducted at Montreal's Allan Memorial Institute by psychiatrist Ewen Cameron from 1950 to 1965 were jointly financed by the Canadian government and the CIA.
The CIA wanted to learn about psychological de-programming and covertly gave Cameron money between 1957 and 1962. The rest was financed by Canada's health-care grants program.

Do you have over 1900 comments? Why Not?
'Cause we have a life/job/anything better to do?
Not a slight intended, but 4 days ago it was "Do you have over 1600 comments? Why Not?"

You're right! ...

There is no excuse for poor spelling. Or as you would obviously put it, "S-p-e-e-l-i-n-g"
I started reviewing my paper and cunted about 10 typos per page!

Recursive caching?
I'd like to see a cache of Google's cache of Google?.
Any mirrors?
Kartoo is kinda fun to play around with but, somehow, I just can't seem to take it seriously for solid research.
I'll stick with Google.
$3,036,704 in 2002 vs. a mere $3,800 in 1990??
Boy, politics/politicians has/have got/gotten expensive!

Learning to search effectively will serve you best.
