I guess you could say that if it's scriptable then it can be automatically kicked off, like a cron job or something. So in that case the Operations group sets it up and then shouldn't have to do anything else with it. That might be a bit of a stretch, eventually you'll need to find out if it's working right or not. Even that could be done with out a computer interface, it could be your manager yelling at you over the phone wondering why the system is down with you on the other end in Tahiti while your wondering why someone is killing your buzz.
What abuse are we talking about physical or sexuall. As a criminology major I'll give you the physical abuse is more common with parents, I can't prove it but it has a ring of truth to it. I could be wrong. But I do want to see the proof for the sexual abuse is more common from famiily. You could be right I just want the proof.
I want to run my business utilizing every right I was born with -- including speech. If you don't want my e-mails, you can run a white list and bounce everything not in it. Problem solved, by the free market.
That's funny I didn't know sending pr0n/spam to people unsolicited or to minors in any case was a birthright. Why should I have to bounce your stuff your sending unsolicited? Your costing me bandwidth by sending spam. Even a white list will cost me something as I have to determine if it's on my list or not.
I wasn't trying to be sarcastic at all. Our company employees over 100,000 people, and while we have a good desktop support unit it is sometimes impractical to rely on them all the time for everything. I worked on the dektop support team for a time and we felt it was better to educate the users and make them self reliant. We never had email go down do to a user error nor has or network gone down do to a user installing bad software but it was nice being able to work on the important issues (server migration, backup restores) and not get interupted by can you install X on my computer.
It's ambitious but IMHO impractical, at best I think this would just provide a false sense of security. This week we found zero exploits, well does that mean that all of them are fixed or does that mean they just haven't found any new ones. Your hired white hats have to find all vulnerabilities, the black hats only have to find one.
When I was doing performance testing we went in to meetings with fancy charts showing the decline in defects causing slowdowns of the web app, it looked great and continually showed a drop too bad the website was still a slow moving pig, but from managements point of view we were making great progress.
I dodn't know if thats such a bad thing all of the time. ESP if you work on the road or from home. A lot of the people at our company and IT company are pretty good with computers. If a machine breaks it's quicker and cheaper to be able to fix it right then and there rather than calling desktop support and having them charge you for the repairs. It's even better now that our help desk is outsourced to India. Not that thats bad but sometimes it's hard to understand. Granted the way our install images are set up some program are instlled that can not be removed even by the admin. Zoneaarm and our virus scanning software. So having admin rights on a desktop isn't as bad as say a server. Not all teh time anyway, as long as you don't decide "Oh Yes I want 10000 3d animated smillies, thanks for asking"
and does not actually prevent executives from doing anything wrong. No laws or acts actually prevent anyone from doing anything wrong though, right? They provide you with a set of rules should you chose to ignore them then they also set up punishments.
Um damn it for the first time in my life (on/. anyway) i'm putting in my tinfoil hat. If you rely on barcodes how are you going to know the barcode corrosponds to your candiate of choice. What if they use candidate 1's bar code for both canidates? What about write ins?
I've not had many problmes using my optical mouse on my couch or thigh or armrest or what ever I have close but thats just me.

Not knowing anything about chip fab, don't you kind of need big companies in some respects to come up with innovative chips? The cost of R&D and manufacturing newer and better and more innovative chips has to be enormous. I don't think it's something that can be done inside someone's basement. The article mentions they hope to produce a 45 nanometer chip before anyone else, if they do wouldn't that mean that your generalization about The only problem is that larger companies and organizations are slow to innovate. Massive infrastructure and bureaucracy stifle innovation. doesn't apply here.
I've noticed KDE 3.1?(not sure what version it is) does this. I put it on my parents computer. The KDE start menu is broken up by category, to the point of clicking on the entry for "Word Processing" opens Open Office. No where does it says Open Office until the splash screen is loading. I kinda get annoyed because I'm not sure what program it will open until I click on it, but for them this is perfect. So yeah I think this is a non issue or at least can easily be made a non issue.
But you have to apprciate the level of effort. It comforts me to know that thier are people out there that are working overtime to hit the bulls-eye when hitting within 50 metters or so is just as good. I for one welcome our overachiving overlords.
I love the Eye Argument. Like the eye is some all perfect organ. The eye, the human eye, sucks. You don't believe me? Turn off you lights at night and try to chase you cat around your house, see what one of you hits a wall first.
It's not hard to find examples where single cell organisms are found to respond to light check out this study about two ciliates. Then you can learn that their isn't one type of eye out there their are at least three different types of "eyes" Compound Eyes, Camera eyes (like the ones we have) and light sensitive cells like flat worms, so which one are we supposed to believe is the proof that ID was behind the eye's creation? It seems that these different types of eyes work for the particular organism that has it, that sounds like evolution to me.
It was de-regulation that caused every hamburger chain to combine into one. Bugger joints used to be regulated?
I don't think that deregulation will cuase them all to combine in to one all powerfull corporation but I do think it will cause the local small mom and pop shops to close doors. This is what some people say Walmart does and this is what I've seen blockbuster do to communities.
but that doesn't make his software good or innovative. Why does it have to be innovative, it seems to be working well enough for them as it is and in my oppinion it kind of is. I'm not going to say XP is great, but it's no Win98.
I'm sorry what does this have to do with he and his wife's giving to chartity etc? I say Congrads.

Don't be so hard on our frined from the north. We have the same ability on the DC Metro. Regardless of how much it cost it was well worth it.
Considering the noise already present in a subway/metro system, I haven't found cell phone usage to be that annoying in the DC system.
