I've seen some wild things in quarterly and annual reports.
Awww, come on. You can't write that and then not give examples. I wanna hear about reduced profits forecasts due to the CTO's obsession with lap dancing clubs!
homework lock-down, which parents can use to
disable TV, music and other home entertainment until the schoolwork is done.
Seriously, if this feature is actually needed in a household, you have bigger problems than your TV not knowing who you are.
Why is it that taking responsibility for your actions is seen as a bad thing these days? What is wrong with asking your kids to get their homework done, and explaining to them why it is a good idea to do it?
I'd love to know more about how much hard evidence they were able to gather about this guy. Obviously, anyone with enough brain power to engineer the logic-bombing of 1k machines is going to try and cover his tracks, but how well did he succeed? Is the prosecution going to have to make the leap from "you left, then bought shares, then something bad happened." to "it was you!".
Ethics aside, I have to admire this guys balls!
I'll put my ethics back on and fix the sendmail f'up I made this morning now:-)
Gee, do you think all these corporations who have been embracing Linux in these past few years will still be using it when they can no longer use their expensive software investments with it?
Gee, do you think that they may just leave those working systems alone and let them get on with the job? Why do you think that security fixes regularly get back-ported to 2.2.x and 2.0.x? So that working systems can just get on with working. You seem to have missed the point that people who choose to use Linux are not locked into the perpetual pay-and-upgrade cycle.
I know I'm going to go out and buy one of these and I'm going to loath myself for using an MS product. Just being able to jot down notes in handwriting and keep the original somewhere while converting it to ASCII as well is going to be great. I'll probably get a lot of use from this at the gaming table and from surfing while watching TV.
I really hope that someone does a Linux clone of this, but I doubt that a quality handwriting recognition package will come out of the open software world. Fingers crossed.
The dang logitech mice will not work with KVM switches and multiboot linux/NT/2K systems
I have a Logitech Pilot mouse with a wheel hooked up to an Addertec KVM controlling 3 linux boxes and a multi-boot dos/win98/NT4/2K/linux box. Works just fine thanks.
do you think the answer to having an massive and unreliable network is to build a second identical network?
No. They did everything right. Falling back to paper and runners is the best they could do to safeguard patients lives. An 'identical' network would be susceptible to the same failure modes as the primary.
That said, hopefully it wasn't really six years since they had run a disaster exercise where they pretended that the computers were unavailable...

so how do you read something once you have encrypted it then? :-)

They have the Queen on! How more obvious does it have to be?

Yeah, that ability to compute using both metric and imperial units in parallel really comes in useful ;-)
