With hindsight I would also agree but if I had skipped the discussion with management my job would also have been in jeopardy, I did not at the time know enough about procedures to know how to deal with it. Once the action had been taken I had no further information or evidence.
If you are granted access to privileged information, then you should not betray that trust. As an admin I have seen things which I must tread very carefully about. People do a lot of personal things on their computers, whether it be the company accounting or their personal browsing preferences you have to be tactful and discreet about. Under normal circumstances I would never break the confidentiality of the people and machines I work on, but I know others are not so disciplined.
I have only been at a crossroads once where a machine had illegal material on and it took a lengthy internal debate to decide how to handle it (I went above the person and they were removed from employment)
As for abusing the information, there is no such dilemma - I will not do it.
Trust is something which when broken can effect you for the rest of your life.
Since you use tabbrowser prefs I wonder if you could test something for me. I also have it and since the update to 2.0, clicking the new Go button opens the address in a new tab, clicking again opens a new tab and so on. The expected action under all cases is to reload the data into the current tab (which is what the address bar relates to)
I have tried changing settings as much as possible but cannot seem to stop it occurring. It only happens with the tabbrowser prefs extension enabled.
Let me know if the same occurs on yours and I will create a bug report for it.
Its most likely extensions, extensions, extensions. I've found a couple of bugs myself but nothing as drastic as you seem to have encountered. If you were coming up from a late 1.5ish version of firefox, your profile folder will contain a backup of your entire bookmarks file.
Best advice before performing a major update of anything is backup your data before you start.
Find out where your profile is stored on your machines and find out how to backup for the future.
As for my bug, I've got "tabbrowser preferences" installed and clicking the new "Go" button opens the page in a new tab. Theres nothing I can do about it for now either.
Also, for the privacy concious who have firefox set to store no history, there is a new menu item in History called "Reopen recently closed tabs" which does not follow your no history setting and shows a list of all tabs opened during the session (also, its not clearable without closing the browser window). tsk tsk
Everybody has a bad batch. Its easier to blame it on something menacing like "counterfeit hardware", I would simply say "bad batch", however cisco has a reputation to uphold, horror of horrors if their tackle is broken.
Do I start to believe that everything fails because its counterfeit?
The packet of cig papers I bought with one having the gum on the wrong side must be fake, Rizla would never do that to us (actually, it was a bad box, some idiot put the paper roll on backwards and shock horror it wasn't picked up). The problem remained for the rest of the batch.
Sure, its a 20p packet of papers, but the principle is identical - companies fuck up and flakey products are released.
When I read this back in April I thought "nahhhhhhh can't be true" I still think that.
Go onto the NEC site (which has shareholders and other things to account to, its not a private company) and find a reference to the problem or investigation or anything about it, its not there (not as far as I could see anyway). We haven't heard anything more about it since the sensational reporting.
Additionally the rather vague article (its fleshy, but rather tasteless) reports on investigations in other cities, these cities come up on the main NEC site as ones with legit offices in.
Either the problem has magically vanished (as a paper problem only, a corporate memory lapse so to speak or just overzealous reporting) or its still occuring in which case I would expect NEC to have details about returning products or recall notices or other advertising that theres something fucked up.
Please find some more information than this whole problem because I don't like being intentionally wrong about things.
What he didn't know was that phoney network equipment had been quietly creeping into sales and distribution channels since early 2004, when manufacturers began seeing more returns, faster mean-time between failures and higher failure rates,
Isn't this the same period we have seen bad caps making equipment randomly fail, batteries which blow up, hard drives not being hard enough and dead pixel nightmares for all different companies?
Is it not more likely that this is just another symptom of too much, too quickly and they should just improve their quality control and testing regimes?
Sure, the cards might have been resold, but they are branded cisco items bearing the entire cisco interface and functionality - somehow I doubt outright fake chipsets and devices like this can be produced by anyone other than cisco themselves.
The article manages to totally skip highlighting a single specific case of fake hardware, the nearest being a raid on a hardware repair centre where officials from a group of agencies pounced.
Reports in the San Francisco Chronicle made it appear at first like an immigration raid, as 12 illegal immigrants (11 from Mexico and one from Colombia) were taken away. But that wouldn't explain the presence of so many agencies, including the FBI, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Postal Service and the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team, which investigates large-scale, high-tech piracy and counterfeit cases.
Just because a group of people from different departments turns up does not justify the argument, there could be any number of reasons. If it was directly related to fake hardware, don't you think cisco would be highlighting the fact a little clearer than supposition?
They just want to scare people into paying top dollar from the top tier people. I have no problem with this, but it seems like an underhanded way to say it.
This is the best advice I have seen in the thread so far. A workstation is disposable, you should never "worry" about it falling down or being hacked because you should be able to restore any damage done during break time.
Make sure your network image is locked down against the silly stuff (just one clean run through the gpedit.msc console should do 99% of whats needed) then create an image.
Isn't second life taking off now? Embedded reporters and businesses are now entering the space. Whilst having a fully immersive encounter suit might be the end game, currently your mouse and keyboard control your hands in the 'verse and your screen gives a window.
I can't speak for the AC, but I know I would. I might have worded it differently, but being blinded solely to a single program without having a view on competitors in the market place is a dangerous thing.
Which instruction manuals do you choose to include in your purchase? Just the "popular" cars? Recent models? All past models? All future models?
The maintainance and repair of an expensive product that you buy should be included by default. The manuls cost 10-15 to purchase and this cost can be absorbed in the selling price easily. The manufacturers get piece of mind that their vehicles can continue to run even if the company doesn't exist in the future.
Save the wiki money for deserving works, but lobby the manufacturers to supply this information for free in the public domain without having to pay extra.
I agree with this and hoped that these would be smart cards as we currently use in the uk for bank cards (contact based connection to an embedded chip), but alas, they are using a multifunction card with RFID built in.
They are leaving it open for additional uses later.
The DHS is using ID One Cosmo smart cards made by Nanterre, France-based Oberthur Card Systems SA. Like all PIV cards, Oberthur's feature both a contact interface, such as a magnetic stripe, and a contactless radio frequency interface to make it easier to integrate the cards with both building access and IT security systems. At the DHS, though, the cards initially will be used only for physical access, Orluskie said.

Not here its not, when I type firefox I get the option for "firebox" and "fire fox".

Its ok, it thinks firefox is misspelled (using English dictionary).
