+5 Insightful? You've got to be kidding me. Let me guess you are fresh out of MCSE school right? If you think that your desktop/laptop is secure just because you are running XP/2000/NT you are vastly overrating the security of your OS. Try reading securityfocus.com for a couple of weeks and then get back to me rookie.
Needless to say that any machine that someone can get physical access to is not secure. Whether you like to think so or not. And all of you mods who modded this guy up are living in a fantasy world.
And FYI I work at Wells Fargo and we use Windows 2000 Pro.
I know this because I built the last image. At least for my department. There is nothing fancy about any of these images. They have the standard sofware packages you'd expect at a conglomo corp. They also have a tunneling package so that you can access the corporate lan. They do not, however, have AOL installed. Most of the people that use these things have access to do whatever they want to them. That's probably the way AOL even got installed as they are not corporate approved software.
Like it or not linux is a server platform and not a desktop OS. So it makes sense, at least for the time being, to only make a server for HL2, and not a client.
Not trolling, I don't care how great you think Linux on the desktop is, it's still not as refined as Windows.
A new Worm virus called W32.Blaster.Worm has been reported to the Virus Team. IT is imperative that everyone on the *edit* team completes a LiveUpdate and a Manual Scan this morning. We are monitoring who has completed the scan. A list will be compiled of anyone not completing the scan today. If you have any questions you may email the Virus Team.
The basic instructions are:
1. Double-click on the NAV icon on your task bar (in the bottom, right-hand corner) - it will either be a yellow shield or a little computer with a medicine bag next to it 2. Click on the button that says "LiveUpdate" 3. Click "Next" on the following screen 4. After the update is completed, click "Finish" and then close the NAV window 5. Double-click on the NAV icon on your task bar again. 6. From the Scan menu select Scan Computer. 7. Click on the Box in front of the (C:) and select Scan. 8. Let the Scan Run to completion.
PS. This was an email sent out this morning. I work at a GIANT financial institution.
I love this post. This is the most obvious troll in a long time. Half this guys posts are Troll or Offtopic. He makes no effort to substantiate his claims (like some other people we know) and just spits out garbage. If I has mod points left today I'd mod him to oblivion.
Disclamer: I feel sick this morning so I tend to ramble...
You know what needs to happen? No? Well I'll tell you. Remember when to get a cell phone you had to go to the cell phone company (I know they aren't "cell" phones they are "wireless", stay with me) and you would sit down with a guy, he would explain everything from how the phone's work to how they would be billing you. Then you would fill out an application, they would do a credit check on you, you would pay a deposit based on your credit, blah blah blah. Any way that process was VERY long and very complicated. Lots of people that would have bought a cell got turned down and didn't buy because of this process. Now a days that have pre payed services like Virgin and a couple others, where you go and buy little credit card looking things and charge up your phone. These cards are everywhere and you can pay in cash. Who needs credit and a long drawn out process now? No one, everyone from jr. high kids to execs to drug dealers can get one and pay in cash without having to worry about all the hassle and they can remain anonymous. This is exactly what needs to happen with the internet. Pay Pal or another big online pay site (is there another one?) needs to come out with a credit card type pre pay system that you can use to pay for whatever you want online, ebay, pron, your friend Bob, whatever. Just wait, this will happen. Actualy some exec is going to read this post and steal the idea, fuck I should probably patent it now and liscence the tech..... anyway, before I get off on a whole new tangent, those are my two pennys...

But ask yourself: Why did they die out?
Odds are, the reason that they died out, along with around 70 other species of giant mammals around that time is us. Although some claim it could be weather. The article addresses both possiabilities.
nformation is a limitless resource; it can be transmitted and copied endlessly.
Although once the information was created it is generally limitless. The person or persons resources who created this information is not unlimited. This is the reason copyrights were invented in the first place. To encourage the creation of information and the expendature of that person or persons resources.
This is total FUD. It is really annoying when mac-o-holics say "oh look, my machine is the fastest because it can do this one calculation really fast". Don't get me wrong, I'm not trolling, I love mac's too but I don't pretend that they are some sort of super computer *cough*jobs*cough*. The real reason why mac's can beat some x86 boxes in the RC5 is right here. Straight from the horses mouth.
You couldn't use halon to put out a fire in a laptop either. Halon works in server rooms because it smooshes out all of the oxygen in the room. No oxygen means no fuel source for the fire. Releasing a minute amount into a room would do nothing. Sorry to burst your bubble. Excellent thought about making the case out of aluminum. I think Apple or someone already makes brushed aluminum laptop cases. I think that is more for esthetic appeal though.
You guys have only a vague idea of how government works. Or if you do know, you have had vastly different experiences than I. I worked for the Dept of Revenue and Finance for a state government and this is exactly how things worked. Each government body, Natural Resources, Transportation, ect, ect each got a set budget based on how much they spent the year before and how much money the senate/governor allotted them from the total state budget that year. The big deal in our agency was to spend ALL of the money that was allotted to us by the end of the fiscal year otherwise next year we would lose what we didn't spend and our budget for next year would be shrank to the same ratio as what we spent the year before. Our budget would actually decrease if we didn't spend the all of the money in our budget!! Logic would tell me that if you can justify your budget but can manage it well and run UNDER your budget you would be REWARDED not the other way around. I digress. So, anyway, at the end of the year the director of the project would tell us to make a "wish list" (he actually called it that) and we got to buy pretty much anything we wanted, including contractors, and do anything we wanted. So, need a PDA? You got it, a new workstation? Got it. You name it, as long as we didn't deplete the pot we got it. Kind of crazy how the system encourages waste like that but it does.

I would think that you would be killing the anti-cancer that your anti-self already had. So that would be a Good Thing. Right?
FYI. LCD's don't have refresh rates. CRT's do. So saying that you ran your LCD at 70hz is incorrect as it has no refresh rate.
FYI Microsoft did not develop it's terminal server technology. They bought it (shocker) from Citrix.

By 2060, half of THOSE jobs will be outsourced to robots in India!
Because the underprivilidged, starving (for electricity) children robots there are willing to work for less (nuts and bolts of course).
Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050?
Yes.
