Due to increases in sensitive data being lost they clearly want all possible sources of said data to be encrypted. This may or may not be overklill depending on your opinion but one thing is for sure and that is that it's their decision to make.
If your not happy having your personal computer encrypted (And I know I wouldn't be) the simple solution is don't use it at work, use a work computer. If the requirement covers you checking webmail from a personal computer at home, where you will have access to sensitive data, the solution it to not check your email from home.
If you are required to check email from home and are not happy to have your whole computer encrypted then your employer should provide you with a company laptop which they can do what they want with, encryption and all.
Many time I've made some good clean kills followed by a lot of "OMFG nice wall hack/Aim bot/cheating...." and I'm not even that good. There are far more competent player out there make far more constant kills than me and its not cheating, Its just good reflexes and hard work.
My comment is to just get over yourself and have fun.
For the love of fuck.... the memory leak that most people seem to think plagues Firefox is in fact a caching feature and not a memory leak.
Firefox stores a cache of pages in memory. This can be turned of in about:config if it's that much of a problem for you, but will dramatically reduce the speed that you can click back and forwards through pages.
Got to agree with these last two posts... there's nothing wrong with helpdesk/IT/sysadmin/network admin jobs at all for someone with a computer science degree.
After I completed my CS degree I started in helpdesk/user training. Fixing most problems before the more senior guys get to them lead on to a sysadmin job in the same company. I've now recently switched to a job as a network admin for the same university I studied at and couldn't be happier.
Over this time I've had 5 satisfying years of work, used/setup/fixed more deferent technologies than you want to hear about. And all on salaries that I've been more than happy with.
Oh and I do program. But for a hobby not for my job.
An often misunderstood problem with Firefox is that it keeps a cache of pages you have visited in memory, thus causing very high memory usage.
type about:config in your address bar and change the value of browser.cache.memory.enable to false
this will dramatically reduce the memory usage in Firefox for those long browsing sessions but with a small hit to the speed of back/forwards functionality
A very good point actually. I never had neat handwriting, ever... But since getting a PDA (IPaq 3950), with what I thing is very good recognition software, my handwriting has improved immensely. In fact it is now legible, and still improving.
Combine this with M$ speech synthesis (Sam) and that could replace my old history teacher.
All he did was dictate notes to us, Very Fast and boring

To me this seems realy quite good. It sets up many of the thing a new linux user wants by default. (AA fonts for one)This is somthing that realy is a must 'cus theres nothing worse than trying to read crappy fonts, and its a big put off when you try and change.
I know things like this are relativly simple, but there not when you're new.
One thought I just had. Just suppose MS decides to add some "nice new features" that will mean Office 2003 files won't be directly compatable with 2000. *sigh*
But I do agree, Upgrade when you need to. I last upgraded my pc 2 years ago to 1.2Ghz from 350Mhz Still plenty fast enough for me and I work it hard. And I only upgraded to win 2K when I got a free copy from Uni as part of the MS academic aliance thing.
Can someone kindly explain why I should pay more money to upgrade from 2000 to 2003 when 2000 does more that i need and i can get Open office which also does more than i need for free.
IMHO I guess that the money goes towards the cost of the cables, routers, servers, manpower and all the other costs of running an ISP. And I guess that once that's paid for, there is the cost of upgrading. And then there's PROFIT
On this I have to agree. Dune far surpasses anything I have read; the entire storyline is quite simply a labyrinth of plots within plots that will allow you to get lost for days at a time. And the characters are so well defined it reads more like fact then fiction.
As to Herbert junior, well his prequels don't measure up to his farther (but then how could they), but I feel they are still suburb

Got to say this is so to the point.

... That cloud computing silver lining has started to tarnish already?

To me this looks like a very good home entertainment system.
I don't think it will be long before we start seeing a lot a computers along these lines, Joe-sixpack will want to go designer, not grey box.
