And if you have a personal storage space on a network drive at work copy Portable Firefox to it. It runs just fine, if you forget your thumb drive no problem and no software has been installed so no rules broken.
Now IANAL but......from the website's disclaimer ..."The attorney-client relationship does not begin until a written agreement has been agreed upon and signed between the client and his or her law firm..."
I've installed AVG and Avast on other peoples systems and for the non-technical, AVG seems to be the least scary and easy to use for them. It's the one I use and it's done the business for me for 4 or 5 years.
Of course, some of the best anti-virus software I've used is Windows update, Firefox and Thunderbird. (I'm not quite linux/mac troll yet)
The whole nature Vs nurture debate is an artificially dichotomised thing.
It's not one or the other, it's both nature and nurture.
I haven't done any reading on this subject for a few years (so sorry if my facts are out of date) but evidence has been found that brain damage can be linked to child abuse and neglect.
Child abuse.
You can have great genes for intellegence (nature) but if you get no stimulation or abused as a child (nurture), it can have an effect on the physical development of your brain and hence on your intellegence.
Both nature and nurture are critical for healthy development.
Just to put things into perspective, you have a greater chance of being killed or injured by your own car than you do suffering death or injury from a terrorist attack. Can you say, overreact?
"... rather than obliterate our social lives, always-on connectivity and the increased flexibility it brings will allow us to break free from the office and actually socialise more..."
Shouldn't that read:"...will allow us to break free at the office and actually socialise more."?

You play games online? How dare you waste my bandwidth in such a trivial pursuit. How am I going to download the next episode of LOST? How dare your entertainment interfere with mine;-)
I had an interview some 15 years ago with a council funded organisation who took my details and which were protected under the data protection act. Because of the way departments and organisations have changed, shuffled and merged over the years I now work for an organisation who has access to the records of that other org and so have access to my own records. So do my work mates and thousands more people than 15 years ago.
Now these records are trivial but I gave this information on the understanding that it would be confidential to the organisation that I gave it to. It isn't and as far as I'm concerned this means my data is not protected. Again, this is a trivial and inconsequential instance but it illustrates how data is moved around and how access to that data becomes fluid over time, priorities change and definitions can be erroded.
I don't trust those in power with trivial data. Imagine my horror when I HAVE to give over stuff to them I believe to be valuable.
1. The Uk government is well known for introducing technological systems that are badly thought out, implimented and costing several magnitudes more than originally stated.
2. These are being promoted as fighting terrorism. Terrorism does not affect me and statistically has a vanishingly small chance of doing so. Why should I and millions like me have to buy into a system that offers us nothing whilst costing money and a degree of liberty.
3. I know who I am. I can prove it in several ways and I don't need/want another.
4. Surely more ID provides more opportunities for ID to be stolen.
5. A proliferation of data about me across systems and a proliferation of departments that have access to that data creates more points that that data can be compromised, either by incompetence or design.
6. I don't want this and I didn't agree to it.

It's critical that no one person in a company ever appears to be above a code of ethics
It's okay to have no ethics, as long as no one notices.
I always see BDSM......probably just me.

What do you mean not everyone would do that?
Okay, what if everyone turned off their TV when the adverts came on?

You don't have shares in Google do you?
More of a sub-species.

You were close there, just loose the oxy prefix and you've hit the nail on the head.
Dude, these things might not do it for you but I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting for the next SCO installment.

It's obvious from your UID that you aren't new here but I wonder if you've figured out yet that you are in the wrong place?
Yes dear......hummm..........uh huh!.......red's nice.......sorry?
