Keep talking and moding and doing all that good stuff. Don't mind me - I'm just a little TIA bot sitting here in the corner, making some notes. Speak up, please.
Many of the remarks about G.Cooke seem to consider her a boring person with no life and nothing better to do other than to comment on other people and their products.
Anyone else find that surprising, coming from slashdotters...?
I say send her an invitation and a nickname.
Imagine starting a company with two of your best geek friends. Now imagine being forced to not work more than 35 hours a week. Or having to take a break every two hours even if you are in the middle of debugging that threaded program. Or not being able to get rid of that deadwood non-performer you hired last year. Or having to give everybody a pay rise according to the contract even when the company is going into the red.
Try making that work.
The nature of our work is based on continuous learning, individual responsibility, and isolation (name 5 friends who are not geeks).
There is a problem of supply and demand. There are more of us than the economy can support at this point. It will fix itself, even if somewhat painfully. Big factory solutions from the last century won't help.
You can make wireless (802.1x) as secure as wired by putting all your wireless users on a VPN. Unsecured wireless users are just like having open access to the insides of your network and completely bypassing peripheral security measures like firewalls.
The real question is how to make *all* your computing and networking resources more secure. Wirelessness per se won't be the problem.
The only transplant where the donor will be better off than the recipient is a brain transplant. A face transplant is a bit like that. Anyway, at what point does the recipient become the donor?

Yep. But it could be coming to a theater near you someday....
