Now that the Democrats are in control of the House and Senate, they will be getting the lion's share of the bribes...oops, PAC money. For those of you too young to remember, the Democrats ran the show for 40 years and were at least as decadent as the Republicans have become, and back in those days, they used to get all of the bribe money.
Odd people are concerned that IT types *might* be reading email when so many of the C*Os give their secretaries their passwords and other sensitive information. I am convinced that my Big Boss's secretary actually runs the place.
You left out the step where Wal Mart takes your product to China, comes back with a knock-off of it produced by slave labor and tells you to take a flying fuck at the moon.
It wasn't a 5 day 8-hour a day class. It was 12 days from 0800 to 2100(ish) hours with a few breaks during the day.
It was a chance to play with a lot of nasty stuff on machines that were there for the purpose of breaking in a controlled environment.
The biggest positive was that someone sent two PHBs to the class to see if it was worth sending techs - they got to see first hand what was out there, what the risks were and ways to help their guys secure their networks. Nothing like people seeing for themselves what their staff is up against.
Back in my day, the Sony Walkman was going to deafen us all. Frankly, I would imagine people today are just as capable of operating the damned volume control as we were then.
Sounds very similar to what we normally refer to as "man hours" when we are not trying to bend over backwards to appease the goddesses of political correctness.;-)
Rush Limbaugh charges like 5$ a month for his podcasts, and Al Franken's and Ed Schultz's are free. This guy is way over-priced. It's not that a subscription model can't work, but you can't charge way more than the market will bear.
Why doesn't Google partner with Sun to release the product in the retail and OEM markets? If you could buy a PC with their office suite pre-installed, it would help them both and send MS into a tizzy. I, for one, am not interested in doing my word processing over the web.
I have a Volkwagen Golf TDI (turbodiesel) that averages 40 mpg per tank in the summer and 46 in the winter - the difference being the running of the a/c. Diesel is cheaper than gas right now, and the VW diesels are relatively clean. When the low-suphur diesel fuel is more readily available, things should get even better. VWs in general are unreliable, but I have had no problems. I wish Toyota or Honda could get their diesels clean enough to run here.
How many times has anyone else set up an app for a user, had problems, contacted tech support only to find out the app MUST be run as admin? So then you end up with a hodge-podge of some apps running as admin, some not, different permissions all over the drive...a mess that is not easy to maintain.
The first time your employer gets dragged into court because some asshat couldn't resist sending his racist/sexist/offensive joke to the most easily offended person at the company will make you wish you'd spent the money, time and effort to monitor up front.
If you monitor and act on what you find, you can at least mitigate damages.
Good - currently, Lotus Notes doesn't work so well with FireFox, which forces my users to have to use Explorer. Maybe we'll have another good reason not to use MS Explorer.
I suppose I should refrain from commenting since I have no dog in the fight, but I am glad to see some migration away from Sun to linux since Sun helped fund SCO by buying licenses.
Great. As if cell phones are not a big enough distraction, now we'll have to contend with drivers downloading mp3s, rolling game rooms and drive-by hackings.

Amazing how the government can find the time and manpower to enforce crap laws like this when tax revenues are on the line.
Doctor? Think again - radiology is already in India and Mexico, and medical tourism is the up and coming thing.

man hour
They actually said "person hours?"
the entire supply of Immodium for the state of Utah is missing.

The only reason to buy a hybrid is show other people how much you care about the environment: it's a statement, not an answer.

Hush, Theo.

IIRC, they purchased their stack from a company called Spyder, which based their implementation on the BSD stack. So, yes, and no. :)

Because using Windows on the internet is like riding a bicycle into a firefight.

A Nelson HA HA to you, Sun.
Novell already has AD beaten with NDS. Try it. It runs natively on Netware, Linux and Windows. In a decade or so, AD might be where NDS is today.
