DoD is very big, and there are hundreds of thousands of DoD computers that don't follow the simplest security best practices. Just because the NSA publishes a document on how a Windows box should be configured, doesn't mean it gets configured that way in the field. Military IT is just like social issues; The only area not being neglected and starved of resources is the last area to have a major shitstorm.
This latest crop of 2D-to-3D technology is best used in 5-minute amusement park rides, where all the other 3D tech belongs. At best, it provides a few cool moments during the action scenes. At worst, you have a headache after too many blurry shapes try to trick your brain into seeing depth that isn't there and have to stop watching.
Our CIO has a programming background and once fixed some database code we were having problems with. This is a 10,000 person organization with an IT staff of around 300. It's not hard to imagine a small company where the IT director takes on some programming tasks.
The environment varies considerably depending on what agency or department you work for. Many people work for the government because they can be involved with projects that just don't exist in the private sector.
I don't think implementing a few basic security practices are going to cause idea stagnation, yet best practices are constantly shot down in favor of sexy monitoring software. I guess it makes sense for a manager. What you would rather put on your resume?
"Implemented 2 million dollar intrusion detection and anti-malware enterprise software solution with staff of security engineers monitoring network traffic 24/7"
OR
"Took the damn users out of the local administrators group."
If the grandparent's organization is anything like mine, the issue isn't the lack of technical solutions for locking down computers. It's the unwillingness of managers to put their neck on the line and sign off on suggestions like this.
Some activities that are considered wrong in some cultures are perfectly fine in others. What's wrong is for huge powerful cultures to pressure everyone else to adopt their moral code.
The degree of a burn refers to how deep the burn is. If the burns affected the full thickness of the dermis and underlying tissue, then they would be considered third degree despite the lack of charring.
If you had sex with a human-animal hybrid, could you be prosecuted for bestiality? Of course *I* wouldn't have sex with a hybrid. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I think.
Using laptops may be a very possible solution that is quickly dismissed by management because it is perceived as being too expensive. We have had a long policy of "no laptops...they're too expensive compared to desktops." Then we put two or three desktops in different locations for users that travel./boggle
This may be a shock, but some IT managers don't have a clue. We have around 10k desktops and users store their files locally. Our users connect to a terminal server, then start another RDP session to connect to their desktop.
Do you even read what you post? From your own wikipedia link: "Historians do not place all fascists in the same position on the political spectrum - groups have been placed "left, right and center," or not even in the spectrum at all."
Exactly. If you are just doing generic IT stuff, then a small company may very well be better off with some sort of maintenance agreement instead of keeping you. Your boss has already realized this and is probably already soliciting bids. Sorry.
I really love those recent commercials that almost make corn syrup sound like a health food. If you want to know what to eat, look at athletes and people that make a living from the condition of their bodies. They don't eat the shit that half of America considers health food.
Don't forget that nothing is our fault and if something bad happens to us, we must be diligent in our efforts to sue any and all evil corporations that blame can be pinned on.

Please don't give this classic movie the crystal skull treatment. It doesn't deserve that.

Give it up already, Richard.

Maybe they should have increased their weapons research budget instead.

They've already stopped lending us money. Our solution was to PRINT money instead.

Will that allow ludicrous speed?

Anyone that has a clue how the economy works is smart enough to not be in politics.
$20 an hour isn't bad pay for someone going to college full time.
If the ad itself is being talked about, then it has been successful on some level.
The issue is that different people will give different answers for both 1 and 2.
