I can't even imagine the dose she's soaking up. I look at the reading she's showing in pictures and she's taken up my YEARLY dose in HOURS. Is it really exciting enough to give away years of your life for a helluva ride?
My colleagues and I were wondering if they'd have the guts to consider a suit against the labs. We're a seriously major player in terms of installed nodes and code contributions, and suing one or more of us would get a great stock price bounce. It would also some of the brightest geeks on the planet and lawyers with a bottomless checkbook involved in SCO's world (not that it isn't happening already via the existing suits). They'd also be suing a weapons lab in a time of war and telling them you want to confiscate their classified gear - if you thought the Nazgul were cranky, try threatening somebody with enormous amounts of restricted data and see what kind of badness shows up at your door.
On balance, I just can't see them doing this. The government can really spank somebody in a million different ways if you irritate them (SEC, FBI, air strikes...) and SCO's got enough to worry about right now. Then again we're talking about a company that thinks it's a good idea to sue IBM, so who knows?
I work for a government agency in the US too. I've run across "networks" like yours. Usually when my IDS goes off. Putting everybody in charge means NOBODY is in charge. Which means all that traffic on your network from sensitive countries probably isn't good.
It's never, ever as simple as you make it sound. Both of us have to comply with reams and reams of rules and regulations to stay legal. Your productivity was found in ignoring them - and you do this at your own risk. It's not your admins you need to worry about - it's the legal and security types that get really dangerous when you anger them.

Yeah, but when the intern "upgrades" the mail server and your employer needs to find you RightFskingNow, they turn to the one evil, omnipresent, hugely expensive, all-knowing surveillance system they know they can depend on to locate you in less than 60 seconds:

Go with God, girl.

God, I hope they do it.
