The article is definitely interesting. Since hospitals affect all of us at one time or another, it's interesting to see how their networks are set up.
There was some talk here about unit-based network or basically separated parts of networks. How would I get more information about this topic? How would that work? Don't you lose some benefits from having a central network where resources can be allocated to when you need it? What does it mean to be on a unit or divisional network? As a metaphor, I imagine a building that has lock-downs at certain places. But for a network, for lock-downs to work efficiently, there has to be highly effective detection devices (kindof like fire detectors).
I can't imagine it would be as easy as turning on a switch.
I agree that this person should not have be on the production server at all but on a development server.
I also agree they should have had backups available though they did state none of the network has patient critical information. But can you imagine if your patient information had been inacessible?
If a company is unethical in one area of business, can they be trusted to be ethical in another area?
If SonicBlue board had these "free" loans, they were definitely being unethical. I don't believe these loans should have been allowed in the first place.
Also, if we can publicly see their unethical behavior, what other unethical behavior was going on?

Could it be considered an investment? If the season does well, we get some kind of return.
The series isn't that bad compared to the others. And, I was a big fan of Quantum Leap and Scott Bakula.

I have recently been fighting with a major US airline company, Delta over a service problem.
Maybe the problems we see sometimes are simply the tops of the deeper problems.
