We actually had to do this last year... I had a good friend who died unexpectedly at the age of 33. He was divorced and lived alone. Right after he died we went to his apartment and did a 'porn sweep'. This guy had the biggest collection of porn I have ever seen! He wasn't a very computer 'literate' person so his PC required no password and he stored all of his smut in a folder on the desktop.
His mother and ex-wife came over later that week to start cleaning out his place... all they found was clean computer, and ONE playboy:) They brought his kids, so it wouldn't have been good to have the 9 year old see daddy's copy of JUGS on the coffee table right next to a roll of paper towels and a tube of KY...
All of my friends now have a 'porn' agreement. As soon as we die one of us will either remove the HDD from the decesaed persons computer, or wipe the porn if they have access.
As a Network Admin I have no problem with our trustworthy users getting access to tools they need. We lock down our network and desktops, and then unblock as needed. Our in-house developers all have local admin rights, and we allow them ability to download tools from the web. HOWEVER, *most* of these guys are smart enough to use Firefox, not download 'weather bug', 'Smiley Central' etc...
Now, the vast majority of our users have no such access, because there is no NEED (we allow casual web surfing, but we had to install 100K worth of filtering equipment because our users kept infecting themselves with spyware).
Network admins and IT in general need to be flexible enough to allow users to get their jobs done, but still keep the network protected from outside and INSIDE threats... it's tough to balance the two.

The fact is... you CAN get local weather and traffic over Satellite radio. XM ( I don't know about Sirius) has local traffic and weather for quite a few markets.
I stopped getting newspapers when I could get local news via the internet.
I stopped watching local TV when cable and Tivo gave me more options.
I stopped listening to FM/AM when Satellite radio gave me 200+ channels.
Ummm... does anyone remember Iphone??

Skype is nothing new... We used to call in to radio shows from our dorm room using Iphone all the time...
I wish I could mod your post +1 (Sad but True). Our CFO sends out company wide emails that make no sense at all. I often wonder how she was able to (lie/cheat/steal) her way into that position. It is embarrassing when the CFO of a 1+Billion dollar a year company cannot tell the difference between patience/patients or capitol/capital.
Now, I'm not perfect... but I also don't send out company wide email very often. When I do have to send out email to others in the company I do this old fashioned thing called "Proof-reading".
*sigh*
(sad but true)
Until people start securing their wireless networks with SOMETHING, wireless will always have a bad reputation. As nice as it would be, we aren't allowed to use wireless in office... period.
BTW, I'm surfing/. from my neighbors unsecured WAP.
*Sigh*
SuperNova doesn't actually provide any content. They only provide information about exisiting content. I have not seen a single Torrent site where you can actually download a movie, MP3, or anything other than a.torrent file (which is basically text that described the Torrent).

Personally, that was the single biggest disappointment for me with the new DVDs. Everything else has been cleaned up, and I can even tolerate the new dialog... but not cleaning up a BLACK ON BLACK square around the Tie fighters? Hell, I'm no digital artist, but even *I* could do that with some off-the-shelf software!!!
Looks the world is no longer viewable:
"We are sorry but the slashdoting of a 250MB file was a bit more than we had planned for. We will re-post this file later in the day or this evening once the initial rush cools off. Thank you for your patience."
Simple solution... Block all password protected zip files. If we can't see what's inside and scan it, we block it.
Now I just have to deal with 2000 users asking "why did I get this?" and "I don't know who these people are".

Will they be able to say "FUCK" now that it's digital? :)
But it is still BLOATED with commercials!!! Give me my XM @ $9.95 a month with no (or VERY limited) commercials any day!

Opie and Anthony. Talk radio will never be the same. That right there was reason enough to shell out $13 per month for XM!

What makes Opera better than Firefox? Why would I PAY for a browser? These are serious questions...Any serious answers are appreciated.
Are you also aware that many of those who have been released have fallen right back into their roles as terrorists?

He only apologized for attacking Bush... not for being a complete moron.
No, that was P-Diddy. He was out killing all those who didn't vote. VOTE OR DIE!!!!!

I just recieved a 25K per year salary increase. My first Increase since 2001. It's about damn time!
On the crapper. Seriously. I can read in peace. :)
