Anyone know what this is about it's in the last paragraph
"It's interesting to mention that these machines mostly run Windows XP and Windows 7 32 bit, but none of them run Windows 7 64 bit, which seems impervious against this and most other malware."
Is that due to driver signing requirements?
So reading this I went hrmmm that seems dumb like how could Skype work over http? (I'm sure it could but that would be really weird), quick google search shows it has full sockets support

Congrats. You saved $99 for your entire company. Get a cert if you allow data you care about to be exposed to the public Internet. Ever hear of man in the middle? Train your users to purposedly accept self signed certs from their personal devices, it's asking for it.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
MiTM is easier to perform if you use 'official' certs (from CAs already in browsers/etc) than self-signed ones. Or to rephrase it - you are less safe when using 'official' certs.
You can rollout your own CA, whether it is to use at home, or in Fortune 100 company.
Why are these simple concepts so hard to understand for most people - I will never understand.
So when your self signed certificate private key is compromised how do you revoke it? You can't because it's a self signed certificate.
I see a problem with that, and it is called contract law. BB's written return policy states nothing about cutting people off from the ability to make returns when they return a certain number of items in a specified time period. While it is legal for a company to sell items as non-returnable, it is required that the policy be known at point of sale. The new, personalized return policy can be implemented for future purchases, but if the person purchased other items prior to being added to the no-return list, BB has no standing to refuse to allow returns of those items.
On their return policy it clearly states "Best Buy reserves the right to deny any return or exchange."
If you read the article it says that only people who have a history that indicates possible return abuse are given this type of ban. The service works across multiple stores to find people who use retail stores like free rental places. The article fails to mention what else the guy had been doing. If he has a history of buying and returning items then I see no problem with them cutting him off from abusing their store.
I have been using linksys E3000/E2000 routers, but recently I have switched to TP-LINK, they are Atheros based and take the usual custom firmwares (DDWRT etc). They are much cheaper than the other brands, the high end model is only $55 (Newegg even had them for less over the weekend) and works much better than my Linksys WRT400n/E3000/E2000 ever did.
"looking for a good computer science curriculum that covers word processing, spreadsheets, databases, intro to programming, intro to operating systems, etc. "
This is not computer science (Intro to programming maybe), you are asking for a computer usage course, something that was not even allowed to count to my CS major.
From the article:
"Microsoft provides free telephone support for security issues to all customers, regardless of whether the software was purchased at retail or as part of a new PC. Microsoft Support Article 129972 (last updated May 17, 2011) contains these instructions:"
This article seems to be about selling you that paper certifications are something you need for your employees. Anyone who has interviewed or worked with many of the people with these certifications knows that they are worthless. My favorite was a MCSE that didn't know how to install a video card driver.
What matters is that the people can actually do the work, if they self taught/apprenticed I'll take them anyday over a certification
It's hard to imagine that we still use things like checks and wire transfers. They are extremely vulnerable to fraud, the banks have made no strides to update a system they know is insecure because it's cheaper for them to let their customers suffer or eat the loss than to update to a secure system.
Even credit/debit cards which are cloned all the time are easily protected by switching to smart cards instead of magnetic media, but at least in the US no changes have been made (In Canada I did see places now using smart cards for purchases).
Why is this even being posted, it's 9 people who let me guess own 0.0000000% of the company?
Next up 9 apple share holders want Steve Jobs to stop wearing turtlenecks.
Sorbs will add you to their list for sending a single email, not a spam a single email. If one of your users typos the domain and it goes to one of the zillion spam trap domains they use you get added.
I'm not to sure about this website it says: "The cloud may also *casue* geomagnetic disturbances." and the title of the website has the word Tsunami in it?
I went to all the links and the only one with actual information (The University of Virginia) shows the majority of students are using windows. The analyst that is cited as the source provdes zero information.
I did a quick search and it appears I am not alone in thinking this guy is making up these numbers.

In other news it's my home builders fault that I left my keys in my door and I was robbed.
I stand corrected....shows you how much attention I've been paying to WinPhone (I wonder why that is)
So if you know nothing about a topic why are you posting made up information?

Well since they arent using anything from MS yet it would seem what they were doing before wasn't very profitable.

Jokes on you, most IPs under 169.* are routable on the internet, only 169.254.* is not.

All those keys can be replaced by a few lock picks or if you are lazy a small amount of bump keys will go far.
