Rather than spend your time constantly cleaning up, why not re-configure them so the users cant install the software or the activeX is denied, silently, by default?
Check the Internet Exploder Security options and global policies (if its Win NT/XP)
Sender Permitted From seems like a pretty good idea for reducing spam. It doesnt block spam per se, but rather provides authentication of the sender's domain. ie/ no more spoofed emails from billg@microsoft.com.
This should reduce spam as it will be easier to track the spammers and hassle them with legal threats or at least get their ISP to shut them down. (Or black list the ISP) See the link above for the full details
Article has far too many (uneccessary) parentheses (brackets) makes random claims (must be called Ethernet) than doesnt back any of its claims up. It's not even (slightly) interesting (but at least it wasnt an advert)
I bought 3 of these - A bit expensive but funky nonetheless.
Color Kinetics patents aren't overly broad, like one that covers the mixing of different color LEDs to create millions of colors, using a technique called pulse-width modulation.
Please dont start suing people for flashing LEDs on and off very quickly...this isn't new or innovative
Important note for step 1. Send / present it to someone waaaay high up. They have to be above the self-interest of the current team. And someone who is not going to feel embarrased about the status quo.
Also, throw in some Open Source in the mix where it will help further reduce costs
1. Put together a professional business case for a dedicated IT team.
Show some rough calculations for costs of dedicated staff, hardware, software(systems management, etc). Balance that against the savings from reduced downtime, increased productivity, better reputation from business partners and other goodwill. You will find that the numbers for having systems down and people unable to work become big very quickly.
3.Show how long it takes to see a positive return on investment, and how much they'll be ahead in 2 and 5 years. Offer to set this up and run it.

If you can't tell that your candidate is a woman and not a guy, then maybe you are too stupid to vote?
Why not do something productive with yor Sunday morning, rather than just reading the same old Slashdot news?
There are lots better things you could be doing:
Using your knowledge and expertise to help other people. Not least, it's easy to show your support to various worthy causes and help get the countries decision makers to do some good. Here are some ideas:
Fed up of car alarms (especially in New York)? Then check out these people and some background. They have useful information that can be used to support a car alarm ban and show that there are much better ways of preventing car theft.
Everyone knows nerds are fueled by coffee - And most people are kinda aware that coffee-growers are getting ripped off by the big coffee buyers, causing them to face job loss and starvation as well as environmental degradation - Shoot Procter and Gamble an eFax asking them to invest in 'Fair Trade' Coffee.
You didnt pay attention to my first point - At least among the H1-Bs I know, we are all paid equal salaries to our US counterparts. If a company is doing otherwise, then they are sleezebags. As I said, I havent seen evidence of this happening.
....and the other H1-B Bugaboo...why does everyone think all H1-Bs are Indian?? How many Indians called 'dave' have you met?

I don't understand the lash against H1-B visa holders (I'm one myself) - The argument I keep hearing is that they are cheaper than US workers and thus drive down the wage for US tech workers. In my experience this just isnt the case.
Here in the NY / NJ area I know about 20 H1-B visa holders and we're are all paid very well. It's definitely not cheaper to hire us than to hire US workers. We're hired because we have great skills that are difficult to find in the US. (Try foreign language skills and international experience)
On top of that, we have to lead a precarious life, whereby if we lose our jobs, our lives are then transplanted half way across the World with little warning.

They are not creating a whitelist of everyone who sends email to AT&T Customers - You are right that would be a mess
They are whitelisting their customers SMTP servers so no one can send spam FROM AT&T's network.
They are implementing a Sender Permitted From type of system

I think it is well known that slashcode spews out horrible HTML - Pity no one has tried to clean it up with CSS and modern markup
I get those same issues in Mozilla
RTW - You synch every so often, but write a log of acions to a backup server that you can replay if needed
Mostly unfettered. Like the Iranian filters, the U.S. service blocks porn sites
Not that I dont think this is a good idea

Good point...this amounts to reviewers being paid for the review...Something that has never been mentioned before
