2: If we don't know it's down, it's probably not down
Something is wrong. Maybe a switch under your control, not mine, is partitioning my part of the network, or maybe the new security you put on MAC address per port and didn't tell us about, or told us about but not in a meaningful way, has made it so we can no longer plug in both our laptops to the same switch port. How about something on the dashboard to let us know how many unresolved issues there outstanding at any given time, or over a period of time as a graph. If there is a spike on the graph, there's something you own that'd not sufficiently monitored, and it's still your problem.
9 times out of 10, it's an actual user configuration issue. And when the network guy points out that you screwed up, not him, after you blamed him, you're going to get the attitude you deserve.

And yet governments are all ok once Blackberry shows them how they snoop.
Perhaps you don't know everything about how Blackberry works.
What, are you shoving 3's down your pipes?
What the fuck is the difference?
You actually believe that, don't you?
And without a glove compartment.
+1 for honesty.
Foreign governments have famously gotten their feathers ruffled because RIM makes it clear that there is no way to snoop those connections.
Until RIM lets them.
How is that secure then?
Doesn't BB10 use ActiveSync?
Why, yes. Yes it does.

You expect a part time admin to be able to diagnose a switching loop?
And you make the point nicely that the entire rest of the EU is more populated that the US.

Which makes it more difficult for lots of issues that lead to more pollution - transportation among the top ones.
If you don't have a separate syslogd system, you're not doing your job well.

Nah, just bend way down to look out the one small, clear hole.
Only in companies that are ~ 100 people
There are no democracies.
Does a court order require anything other than asking for one?
To be fair, it is a Dilbert calendar. That I haven't changed in a while.
Wait, this isn't May?
The FISA court was determined to be constitutional back in 1984. So you may need to change your dates a bit.

I don't know what Yahoo sells today.
But come October, I imagine they'll be selling lots of google.com/ig replacement impressions.

How could you possibly know that the key was not used for spying?
And why would they need their OWN key to verify the digital signatures?
And why would that key have the email of postmaster@nsa.gov?
LOL. As if Microsoft has never provided encryption keys before. Like since WinNT.

Why do you think it sometimes takes them forever to patch them?
Government oversight.
Unless those words are for some random place that make no sense.
Example:

It's already basically useless because there was no limitations on word usage.
