    There are other consequences that are sensitive to several business,

    Enabling the MFP to cache all documents so they can be retrieved by the hijacker is an example on how to steal sensitive information.

  2. the extent of the right to vote on E-Voting Undermines Public Confidence In Elections · · Score: 0
    Although set in the Constitution as the "right to vote"
    its extent might not be 100% clear.

    If the right to vote is only the right to go to the pulls and click on an option,
    then we are fried.

    If the right to vote includes the right for _that_ vote to get properly counted,
    then e-voting is plainly unconstitutional as it cannot guaranty such thing.

    I'd like to believe the right to vote includes the fact the the vote should get properly counted as well,
    but dunno,

    Hi, I have the same kind of job you do, IT at a non profit.

    The main problem you have is user education.

    I first gained some support from the CEO on implement few policies:

    1./ New hires will take my IT moodle courses and need to pass them within 6 months.
    this courses have all related to understanding internal IT management.
    After some turnaround, the effects show, and this gives me more leeway for implementing my ideas.

    2./ Include training in project management, a tool that may help several is basecamp, so easy a monkey can do it.

    Then start improving some other little processes, take on stuff you don't need everybody to agree upon, when they see that that works, then people will start to buy your ideas and you'll start modifying some other major processes.

    The problem here, (and mostly everywhere), is the users.

    Good luck,

  9. There's no such thing as identity theft on Combating Identity Theft · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's realy a whole marketing spin from the banking industry to misslead the public. Identity, by definition, can't be stolen.
    You can only be identical to yourself.
    Identity theft is a nice term being used to shif away responsibility from the lousy financial industry and put it their users' shoulders.
