Working 10 years so far in IT healthcare and I can say this, every-time there is any hint of a possible data being compromised whether it be incoming or outgoing (this isn't even touching on HIPPA and the incredible pain in the ass it is) the hospital IT department ultimately has to to answer to the CEO why server X is on the network and why is it doing XYZ.
I can tell you that in every facility I have worked in as soon as this came to light the switch port would be shut down and there would be a nice little team from IT in the dept asking alot of questions as to why there is a piece of equipment on the network that the hospital didn't purchase.
My advice, take your server home and go through IT channels for your scheduling.
The movie where Kevin Bacon is invisible and becomes mad as a direct result of the becoming invisible.
Not the worse movie of all time but the worst Kevin Bacon movie.
Double click is still around... damn I thought for sure they would have been killed with all these people using mozilla....
Oh wait nevermind... using mozilla/firefox requires a modicum of a clue! Something 99.8% of the world doesn't have (not news to the/. crowd)
When passing through Arizona (I'm sure you will be visiting that big hole in the ground we call the Grand Canyon) Overnight in Flagstaff at one of the local hostels/hotels. The Lowell Observatory (www.lowell.edu) has night viewing through the end of Sept and has Tours during the day. You see the actual telescope Percival Lowell used to find Pluto. Not techie but still geek worthy.
The problem with schools and CS/IT programs is they advertise "BIG MONEY" and a lot of people who have no clue what is going on make it through the weed out classes (i.e. basic Cobol) meanwhile the truly talented people who may actually be useful in the real world are failing classes because the basic Cobol test is closed books and notes (when was the last time you programmed with out cracking at least one book?)
Lord help us when these grads hit the real world. It's very frustrating for me, I feel like I got cheated because the course work in my school was aimed at non-technical people for a degree in IT. I guess the clueless ones go on to be Vendors.
I think the group that should be most alarmed by this study are High School students who have been known to use the text messaging features of their phones to send test answers to each other.
Of course if they had studied they wouldn't need to be texting in the first place....
I've never found the "Bible" books to be good for general Admin of a system. I have however found the Bibles to be a excellent resource when used in conjuction with a class of some sort.

Well, now we know why Comcast worked out a deal for bit torrent distribution of content on their network.
Thanks!

They found I had a certain "moral flexibility"
