Great, so EMET will be downloaded by a few developers and IT experts and their system will work fine. However, develop and deploy this beta application to run on the thousands of end user workstations on a corporate network? I'm sure between the unintended system slow down from YET ANOTHER APPLICATIOn combined with users wondering what this new icon is doing ought to be seemless.
Too bad FoxIt and others don't provide a nagware free product that's an enterprise solution.
Maybe Adobe will start roping back in all their bloat from the last decade and really tighten up their app?
We should feel lucky we don't have Cylons yet. They hacked 5 layers of firewalls in a matter of several minutes...and it took many episodes and a reboot via hot skin job sticking things into her arm before they finally removed all trace of the virus.
Unless your title is something like "CIO" or you're also wearing a hat as a policymaker for this institution...then it seems to me you're overstepping your bounds as an employee. If it's a public institution then you absolutely have a right to bring it up at the next public meeting (most have boards of directors or elected representatives) and you can say anything you want as a citizen. If you believe in it then use that forum.
But as an employee it seems like you're in a pissing match with your boss and that rarely goes well for the person farther from the top of the org. chart.;)
Could the Firefox element also be that they don't want to support multiple applications or have to try and maintain them for security purposes. I know where we're at there was a recent Firefox vulnerability that has made different Federal authorities take notice recently and since it's not an official standard we removed it from our network...leaving what is only IE as a standard. Corporate and government networks are increasingly shifting from the policy of letting users install what they want as long as it's not a threat (blacklisting)....to presuming it's a threat and only allowing it if it's a recognized standard and managed (white listing).
I've found Microsoft is often the default product line certainly, but it's only because somebody hasn't presented a compelling business case to switch or to spend the money to support multiple standards.
I guess I didn't get his memo, because I just bailed on Charter after what was a 4 year year detente with them. I had been doing the bundled Internet and TV with HD DVR...and would do my annual call saying I wouldn't pay $140 a month for the full service, but would pay something like $110. It took 30 minutes to get through to somebody and I was told I'd have to pay $120 and only get it for 6 months.
So, I said the words they haven't figured out yet. "Cancel my TV entirely. I'll just stick with Internet."
It was liberating. It felt good. They completely missed the point they were just about to lose out on 60% of their revenue stream with me.
Now I'm on high-speed Internet for slightly less than $40 after tax for two years...and won't have to call them on the phone and wait in their stupid queue.
That and I'm playing the Hulu, Netflix, and other source for content game from my PC and even streaming it to my living room TV in high quality and not missing the Cable Pig. Haven't yet figured out how to easily get to Discovery Channel, HBO, and Showtime...but working on it.;)
If a 40-something figures this out.....the cable industry should be seriously worried!
Why do I have this feeling that the unit is going to either be a knock-off of Netflix's Roku box and/or one that will download only content from such trusted partners as Viacom, Sony, Paramount, or others from the big media cartel?
If you think watching over their shoulder of a person that you aren't sure you trust will make a difference...it probably won't. If they're bent on stealing stuff they just put in a back door in the 4 seconds you're not watching them like a hawk and probably wouldn't catch anyway.
You should probably back and decide how much of a risk it is to outsource the admin gig to begin with. If your files are that valuable maybe your business model should afford somebody you can trust and see on the payroll with stock options.
Perhaps you need two admins. One the outsource company that obviously would have technical abilities you don't have, but maybe another one that you do trust that at least has minimal abilities to at least monitor for anything unusual?
Confuse SRJC with a college?
Meh.
I see Santa Rosa confusing their ill-gotten acronym with the real SRJC at Shelter Rock Jewish Center. They're domain is even srjc.org! Maybe they need to weigh in.
Bonus question: If for example, somebody at the Center sent the an e-mail from NotSantaRosaJuniorColleg@srjc.org.....would Santa Rosa still press charges because the acronym is in their legally valid domain?
SRJC needs to chill out and at least take a 1990's pill.
And not only is turning off Javascript a broken record....it breaks part of their own product! Those that pay large amounts for their LiveCycle product to do forms will kill their own application as a result.
Turning off javascript ONLY works for those that use PDF to view documents only.
And Adobe's the 800 rude gorilla of the market. While Foxit is interesting it's not an Enterprise class product.
If it is terrorism from an insurgent...that's the most angry Canadian I've ever heard of...and we clearly need better border security for this new threat!
Krylon generic olive drab guarantees a manly statement. For added effect spray close to the laptop to make those runs look like you don't care what people thin. For even more effect grab hold of it before it's dry to leave smudges and finger prints.
This is one of those issues that directly pits personal rights against the greater public health. It would be nice to allow people to opt out, but when they do they put the remainder of the public at risk of epidemic. It's a herd thing.
I gotta say the past week without so much SPAM has been like having a 10 year head cold where I've become more and more congested...and just lived with it. To suddenly have the congestion stop for just a week....I almost forgot what life is SUPPOSED to be like without a clogged sinus of an Inbox.
Damn spammers! I wish I could have one pointed out and slap them up side the head....and then let the other million of people get to slap them. Then after that slapfest.....find a person that bought something from a spammer and slap them.
If there were ever a time for authorities to get involved...it would be now! Raid that ISP and you know they'd catch some guilty folks...some of which could flip.

If only it were a commute home and back. How about the realization Sunday evening that you've left your laptop at a friend's house 250+ miles away? The frantic call and plea to the friend to FedEx it the following morning, the promise you'll reimburse, the check you mail off for $65 as a lesson learned.
And on top of that you have to tell the boss that you'll be working in the turn-around office for Monday and part of Tuesday until your computer arrives.
Add on top of that the fact that you didn't really use the laptop over the weekend for any real work, but just wanted to make sure you could surf away from home over the weeknd.
Yep, did that two weekends ago. And no I didn't try and turn the $65 expense in to my employer.
Particularly concerning are the ones under #3. The ones that think they are power users will all be for supporting their own equipment.....up until something breaks or a conflict happens with their situation. Then these folks are the first and loudest to squawk claiming somebody needs to fix things so their system works. If anything, they're good at shifting perceived responsibility.
These are the folks that eat up 70% of techs time right now and could easily go to 90% if they had carte blanche to do anything they want.
Oh yes, they do! It is law 28-721 with pertinent part copied:
A. On all roadways of sufficient width, a person shall drive a vehicle on the right half of the roadway except as follows:
1. When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction under the rules governing the movement.
No. I'm talking about the ones at the front of the convoy in the left lane with nobody to the right of them....or not actively overtaking the traffic on the right. The ones that are breaking most state laws that say quite simply, "Keep right except when passing."
Spiffy technology, but how about the left lane squatters out there? For every person that's following too close what are the odds that the person in front should be in the right lane because they're not actively overtaking somebody.
Absolutely. You won't go from uninformed to fully informed in one election cycle, but grab that ballot and vote on any tiny piece you do have an opinion on. If you trust others advice to discuss pros and cons of candidates or issues you might add a couple. But if you really don't know on something, leave that part blank.
Amazing thing is that the time of the next election you'll very likely have paid more attention. Being comfortable takes a little practice, but the learning curve is steep.
Who know, you might find yourself running for office one day.
40MB limit in your account before you get a nastygram saying you're over the limit--which is sort of ironic since that e-mail contributes to your wicked ways. At 50MB you can't send anything until you clean things out and move them to a.pst file on your hard disk. (Big administrative no-no to put them on the network somewhere)
Then they limit single e-mail attachments received and sent to 10MB. Try and break that one and another automated nasty-gram.
This work for 99% of the users on the network.
Too bad he misses the fundamental point that the rush to Creative Commons methodology is in response to the idiotic vaccum with current copyright as it applies to the digital world. He may have some technical and legal points about the context of a voluntary system when contrasted to legal history, but he lacks the vision to understand CC is a plea to the establishment to get off their duff and deal with the 21st century.
You can't forget that in the coverage area is perhaps the goofiest name to mankind. The town of Touchet, Wa. That's (Toosh-Ee). Famous for its convergence of two paved roads and alkalai bees.

Outlaw salt...and only outlaws will have salt. Maybe we need a Constitutional amendment to protect the right to this mineral. :)

A variety of corporate applications including Adobe Forms use it.
