You might want to ask yourself what kind of attachements you're expecting to see come through the server. I personally use Postfix, which I've found to be a bit easier to configure than sendmail. Through that, I block any emails with "suspicious" attachements such as ".exe" or ".bat" (among many others). The rest are handled by the virus scanners on the individual client systems.
I'm not sure it's such a good idea not to have some kind of on-the-fly scanning for each client system, espeically if they're the type to demand the use of Outlook (I have the same situation here, and I sympathize). There's always the chance they'll grab infected files off the web as well.
Personally, it's being a Sysadmin that turned me towards vi. Basically every Unix(ish) OS I've had to work on has had/bin/vi in its default installation, which has always been a Godsend when having to do any work on a single-user booted system with no GUI. In more extreme cases I've had to use ed, though.
But after having had to use vi so often, it's sorta stuck on me, and I've never had a want to use anything else.
...or does the notion of playing a game of simulating a terrorist attack seem sick? The original poster mentions their want of the simulation "game" that was created, but I mean, c'mon.
Then again, there have been plenty of nuclear war sim-type games released throughout the years, so why would this be any different.
I'm another person in the same boat -- moved from working at a University to a software company, all for the same reasons mentioned here. I too found that it was extremely rare to see someone fired, and I think it has to do with the notion of tenure around the campus. Most professors with tenure are basically set for life, and it takes a lot of red tape to get them fired. So with so many tenured people around campus, perhaps an overall feeling of dread is felt when the notion of possibly firing someone comes up. I dunno.
You should also add beer to the list of things you should take in moderation, if you are a drinker that is. Beer not only lowers your metabolism, but it is also full of carbs which (in the interest of keeping brief, I'll just say) turns into fat. I used to have a beer after work every day and work out regularly (much like the previous poster's routine), but couldn't figure out why some weight would just not go away. Once I cut out that beer-a-day, it made a huge difference.
From the article: "The finding provides evidence for the idea that language spread by giving a major survival or mating advantage to those who possessed it..."
So those who could sweet talk their mates or talk themselves out of a fight were the ones who lived longer, eh?
I think one poster already mentioned this, but when you have a choice between an elevator and stairs, always take the stairs, even if you're carrying something. If you can open the door to the stairwell and don't have a bumm leg/foot/kneee, there's no excuse.
Small but helpfull, get a stress ball. They're not only good for stress relief, but they do build up wrist/forearm muscles if you use them long enough.
Like to play console games do you? Why not make it impossible to play the games without exercising? Take the power source of the Playstation or whatever console you're on and make it so that it is only on if the treadmill belt is rotating at a certain RPM.
I've heard of some other video games that incorporate exercise, like bicycles and treadmills. Look/ask around.
"...in a bizarre accident at a genetics lab this morning, hundreds of lab animals were set free when a mysterious explosion at an exterior wall occured without warning. When questioned about the explosion, lead scientist Dr. Doolitle had the following to say:
'*snicker*I have no idea how that could have happened...*snicker*.'"
...why not make use of a USB hub and a Hauppage WinTV-USB? You should be able to attach to multiple devices (/dev/video0,/dev/video1, etc.), I just don't know what kind of quality you can expect nor if there are Linux drivers available for it (yet).
Who said she "demanded" anything? My point was, don't go get something you want when it's something she's supposed to be wearing for herself.
Ok, here's a better analogy -- I wouldn't get my wife a PlayStation 2 when I knew she had her heart on something else that cost the same amount. Not because I felt she'd bash me, but because I'd feel like a real asshole for putting my beliefs and wants before hers.
If the original poster mentioned that his fiance had a problem with diamonds much like he does, it would be a totally different story. My point is, why pick out alternatives behind her back? Maybe he's not, but he doesn't say that.
I can see how what I said comes off as a cowardly, backbone-less dweeb, but that's because I did a poor job getting my point across. The ultimate answer to his question is to talk about it with her, not a bunch of us nerds!
Yes, you do need to understand that this is a gift for her, not you. The question is, what does she want? Does she agree with your concerns, or are you going to just pick an alternative and hope for the best?
I may have plenty of ethical issues against the fine leather used in the new shoes my wife wants for her birthday, but it doesn't mean I'll try buying her a pair of canvas sneakers and hope she doesn't notice.
Often times dehydration is mistaken for hunger pangs. You may sit in your office for a good part of the morning without drinking a drop of water, then hunger may set in when it's actually your body telling you to take a drink of water. Those who misteken thirst for hunger will grab a snack rather than take a chug of water.
I've personally noticed a lot of other benefits from drinking water over sodas, other than the weight factor like you've discovered. I've had an easier time concentrating on tasks, for example. Have you ever gone an extended period of time (like 6 hours or so) without a drink of water, then finally take a chug? I swear you can feel your cells getting immediately replenished like a dried up plant getting watered.
"what the heck makes you think you're so unique that you're the only person working on the problem or capable of coming up with an answer
It certainly does depend on what was "discovered". Let's consider things that seem a bit outrageous, but possible for a single person to find. Let's say this is more along the lines of something found, like a piece of meteorite falling in one's backyard that upon looking at it with a simple microscope (or heck, just with the human eye alone), shows signs of E.T. life? Revealing something like that to the public could possibly cause a panic.
" Its a public library supported by public money. If you want total privacy then look up pr0n/bomb making info at home."
I agree. I'm still not quite sure why people are so hung up on this level of privacy if they're going to be using a public place. If it's that important to you, I'm thinking your head's not screwed on straight for thinking a public library is a good place to do sensitive research in complete anonymity.

I can see how it all transpired now...

Or you could turn them off altogether, y'know. Check the prefs.

I meant playing as a game at home, like the original poster commented on.

Damn...I just flamed myself.

Yeah, sounds like oodles of fun. Shiver...

8x8 may still be a good idea, but relieving yourself from all that water is just as important.
This post does SO much a better job saying what I wish I said. I have to remember the crowd I'm talking to.
Ok, here's a better analogy -- I wouldn't get my wife a PlayStation 2 when I knew she had her heart on something else that cost the same amount. Not because I felt she'd bash me, but because I'd feel like a real asshole for putting my beliefs and wants before hers.
Sheesh!
