Am I missing something, or have they missed the Great Basin? It seems they depict the Columbia River watershed abutting the Colorado River watershed and they both appear to go all the way to the base of the Sierras.
So will it do any good, after you've been laid off and the bill collectors start calling from India, to refuse to talk to anyone with an Indian accent?;-)
There are computers in the teens' rooms, but the good computers (the ones they want to use for gaming) are in the downstairs office. That's where they (and we) usually sit. They know that the home network is accessible from my company's intranet, and that pr0n access could cause me to lose my job. It's not a problem.
I'm a Sybase and Oracle DBA. My "office" is an hour away from home on the US East Coast. But the company's data centers are in Colorado Springs, Boeblingen, and Singapore. What difference if I telecommute from home over VPN or from the "office" on the company intranet?
But... how much is too much? My company uses ckpw. Here's a sample session:

"ne2511s" was the proposed password that was checked.
The following operations were applied to your password
to detect security:
--> Substitute '2' with 'a'.
--> Substitute '1' with 'i'.
--> Reverse spelling of word.
--> Check for "word + word" combinations.
"sii5aen" was the result after applying the above operation(s) to your
password. The pair of words "sii" and "aen" was found in your
password. Since your password can be guessed by applying the inverse
operation(s) to "sii5aen", your password is considered insecure.
It can be read much more broadly than that, effectively forbidding, say, SSH clients connecting to an SSH server on the XP server box and running things there, or any other form of non-MS-client based networking. I wonder if they have something in mind. Do.NET programs, and more precisely, Web services, count as "other executable software"?
I wondered about that in my above post, mentioning Apache, then later I thought about database software, e.g., Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL.
It's been done for years! 25 years ago, I worked for the Defense Meterological Satellite Program. In 1976, we used the same technique to rescue a (brand new) spinning satellite and lock it back into an Earth-facing orientation.

Who is John Galt?
Or the lawyers who force the design incompitbilities to attain lock-in. :-(
Maybe this could be leveraged to get the paybacks to consumers instead of to the Class Action lawyers.

And if you were to use your cell phone, then you wouldn't swipe your credit card in the slot of the phone built into the seat in front of you.

In what dictionary can you find the words "sii" and "aen"? Mirriam-Webster Unabridged has neither sii nor aen defined!
I can't even get a nonsense password to be acceptable!

So if I install Apache on an XP machine and you browse it from anything other than XP, isn't that accessing other executable software?

We are effectively selecting against being sucessfull. Wierd.
As long as we keep paying fat, ugly gimme girls to have babies we'll evolve to be fatter and uglier.
