No... it's NOT a young industry. I've been in IT for 25+ years, my skills are up to date and I continue to learn every new technology I can get my hands on. So not only am I up to date I have experience you can never get.
I'll agree to unionizing only if a certian level of proven competense is required to be in the union.
I have enough trouble from arrogant, incompetent morons calling themselves IT people as it is. I don't want them dragging me down any more than they already are.
With a back-door admin password you could download his entire machine, including his e-mail, and poke through it at your lesiure.
Hell... I could set up a cron job that does it for me every few weeks and leaves no trace that it's done anything.
A conversation I once had with my CEO: Me: I'm the admin, I have the ability to read anyone's files or e-mail. CEO: Well, what prevents you from reading my e-mail? Me: Ethics.
And... you wanna' know the best way to lose all your data and not no how it disappeared: Be careless with who you give you passwords to.
Reminds me of a conversation I had with one of my ex-bosses: ME: I have complete access to everything on our network. BOSS: Then what keeps you from reading my e-mai? ME: Ethics.
Unethical people do unethical things... this isn't an I.T. issue, it's an H.R. issue.
I've always been the one or one of the very few people with omnipotent access of every system in the companies I've worked for and I've never had any issues like this anywhere I've worked.
That's the cool thing about PHP... anyone with experience with any other decent programming language can pick it up in an afternoon and be relativly profecient in a few weeks.
It would, in the sense that, being a copyright violation, it would be their responsibility to delete it. Which is exactly why the MPAA can go after YouTube and make them delete copyrighted material without concent of the uploading party.
Unless you're using a government service or paying for a specific service under contract the internet is not a public place.
You seem not to get it, but then you say:
All the data you upload to a server belongs to whomever owns that server and will be treated as their usage policy dictates.
Keep in mind that this is true of government servers, too. They're not owned by you, they're owned by "the people" and if your comment on the president's blog gets removed don't call the supremes, call your congressman (or write a whiny blog entry.)
True, but my point about government servers is that they, at least, have a higher expectation of providing for your civil rights. A private entity has no expectation what so ever.
All the data you upload to a server belongs to whomever owns that server and will be treated as their usage policy dictates.
If this were true then you could legally host copyrighted data such as movies on your server. But you can't.
No, you couldn't. Unless you have the legal right to host that copyrighted content it shouldn't be on your server in the first place. If you steal a television and set it up in your house it doesn't make it yours.
Unless you're using a government service or paying for a specific service under contract the internet is not a public place. It's a collection of private places that allow you to post data publicly. Civil rights do not apply.

Here's the five million pages of completely irrelevant information you ordered....and if I was Google I would deliver it in the form of printed hard-copy.
That is an asshole thing to say, first of all + SouthPark? Imo, @ least, is a show for small minded idiots, period...
The Chinese ARE a great culture with over 5,000 yrs. of recorded history behind them (when the caucasian race was still in caves that people were already culturally & scientifically advanced, by way of comparison), the only OTHER like it, is India, afaik!
I bet the Chinese have a better sense of humor than you.

Yeah "previous" sure.
THIS!
24/7/365 - I can't power down my servers for maintenance when I need to most of the time much less to save energy.
I can't stand all this "will it be EVEN SLOWER" crap. Of course it will, but who gives a shit?
Obviously I do. The greatest drag on my hardware should be a high-end application that's actually doing something, not the freaking OS.
As an OS evolves it should get more streamlined and performance should increase.
The "of course it's going to get slower" crowd must expect a car to have less horsepower and worse gas milage because you put leather seats in it.
Does it out perform XP?
I didn't put Vista on my machine because every benchmark said it was slower than XP. Can I assume that 7 is going to be even slower?
TrueCrypt rocks!

Avoid full disk encryption if you're trying to hide something.
A drive that won't boot because it's encrypted raises a red flag.
A completly invisible encrypted area on a machine that boots and works normally is another story.
I was going to say... you can't tell me that Exchange doesn't support POP or IMAP.
Though I would have been terribly surprised.
If we're going to investigate, I'm on vacation that week.
Google: how-to forge e-mail headers.

Uh... as the admin what need do I have for the CEO's password? I have more access to the network than he does.
I'd have to agree this whole article sounds like BS to me.
A test that can't tell where or when you came in contact with a substance shouldn't be grounds for a legal search much less anything else.
Indeed.

I'm perfectly okay with you being Chinese... I hope someday you are too.
You do realize the South Park joke was a joke about stupid Americans and not a joke about asians with small penises?

Wow! That's exactly what I was thinking, OOoooo.
