The problem isn't email, it's the throng of coworkers who think that email is a deliverable. A zero tolerance ban on email comes from someone wearing his ass for a hat. It will lead to reduced productivity. On the other hand there are a lot of people out there abusing email. At my previous company we had to upgrade a Lotus Notes email server because it was overloaded. Then we discovered that a lot of users had their client set to check email once every minute. Throttle the client so it cannot check for new email more than once an hour. Cap the number someone can send each day.
I grew up before video games and even though I wasted far too much time in front of the TV I still found time to lose myself in the works of authors like McCaffery, Zelazny, Tolkein, Maxwell and others. In college I could read for half an hour between classes. Sometimes it was classwork but towards the end of the day I needed entertainment. I still remember the day I found the first two Pern books on the shelf of a used bookstore. The cover art sold them. I wore them out reading them and wanted more but had to wait until the first book of the Harper Hall series was released.
Backup and recovery are subjects that PHB's don't want to address because it costs money. Remember, cutting costs is what empowers the PHB. Few of these wankers understand the concept behind incremental backups and full backups. Because of this they don't understand that some backup solutions are cheap because they are a perpetual incremental solution. This incremental approach sounds good in theory, back up just the stuff that's changed, save money with fewer tape drives, fewer tapes, and shorter downtime windows. That is until a couple of years later when the oldest tapes are unreadable or the backup software has lost track of the oldest files. My personal experience with Palindrome told me that without periodic full backups you''ll eventually be screwed. Second, the PHB's can't seem to understand that you don't have a backup solution unless you have tested the recovery process. In order to test the recovery process you need a test server, and test tape drives. That means more money. The next problem is time. Full backups require time to shovel the data onto the tape. The amount of time depends on the volume of data, speed of the recording device, and the number of recording devices. A power company that I won't name approached this problem with critical reason. They asked themselves how long could they afford to be down and came up with a number of hours. They then found a backup and recovery solution that could perform a full restore in that amount of time. Then they worried about how much it cost.
KCRA (Channel 3 and 58) aired the test about two minutes after the top of the hour. The audio message was severely degraded. Keep in mind it was a test. You cannot fix it if you don't know what's broken.
From the summary: 'is both unfair to students and wasteful of resources and faculty time.'
Wasting what faculty time? Many freshman year classes are taught by functionally illiterate grad students who have a tenuous grasp on the subject matter and are more involved with their graduate work than they are with teaching. The faculty is off doing "publish or perish" research. Several years ago I read blog post by someone who started out as an Engineering major who switched to pre-law because of this very problem. These colleges and universities need to stop measuring the quality of their faculty by the number of papers they publish and instead measure the quality of the deliverable by another metric such as the number of papers that their graduates publish.
A passive cooling system based on convection has already been designed and could have been installed on these reactors if TEP had chosen to spend the money. Your proposal as written could cause a cold water excursion. Cold dense water moderates more neutrons to energy levels that cause fission. Hot less dense water moderates fewer neutrons. In a reactor at equilibrium where the heat is being removed at the rate it is being generated, any abrupt change in the temperature of the core will change the reactivity and destabilize the reactor. A sudden decrease in temperature would cause an exponential increase in fission until something breaks the feedback loop.
The personal computer industry was already ignited in 1974 with the Altair 8800 and IMSAI 8080 in late 1975. The Apple I didn't come along until spring of 1976 and was a fart in the wind compared to the thousands of Altair and IMSAI units produced by then. Jobs and Apple added fuel to the industry with the Apple II in 1977 and I've always regarded Apple's contribution to software development as more significant than the hardware they produced in that era.
It isn't computers that are the problem in the classroom. It's how computers are used in the classroom. Computers should not be used to give students the answers; rather computers should be used to ask the questions and provide examples to help students find the answers. Textbooks are pathetically weak in this regard and teachers are constrained by time. A typical algebra textbook has few examples (I suspect the authors include more examples and the publishers delete them to cut printing costs.) Computer assisted education can provide examples by the dozen. The same computer could provide lots of examples of conjugating forms of the verb "to be" in any language the kids happen to be studying. The same could be done for tense and case and more complex grammar such as transitive and intransitive verbs. Without computers such schools run the risk of producing technologically illiterate graduates.
It's more likely that the stock and other assets are in a family trust and Powell is a trustee. Yahoo Finance doesn't list Jobs or Powell as a major holder nor are either listed in the insider transaction history.
Not to mention that "Next" isn't the next email in the result set but the whatever email originally followed the one that appeared in the result set.
The Interface Hall of Shame said the following about Notes: We wish we found IBM's Lotus Notes a long time ago. This single application could have formed the basis for the entire site. The interface is so problematic, that one might conclude that the designers had previously visited this site, and misread "Hall of Shame" as "Hall of Fame".
More likely to be a combination of security compartmentalization and silent updates. I surmise that the monitoring software was white listed in the scanning software until they pushed out an update that whacked the white list.
Removal is an option for most users of a managed corporate system. My employer gives us a lot of latitude in software and I am a local administrator but there are some things that are required. An approved antivirus and HDD encryption are required. I noticed a disabled extension last night on a freshly reimaged system after installing noscript. Didn't look for plugins.
How many times will tapes be stolen from a car before these people wise up?

About 365,000 hospice and home health care patients in Oregon and Washington are being notified about the theft of computer backup data disks and tapes late last month that included personal information and confidential medical records.
In an announcement yesterday, Providence Home Services, a division of Seattle-based Providence Health Systems, said the records and other data were on several disks and tapes stolen from the car of a Providence employee at his home. ****

A 22-year-old intern said today he’s the “scapegoat” for the loss of over 800,000 social security numbers.
A backup tape was stolen from his car last month containing at least 770,000 social security numbers (with the corresponding names) for Ohio taxpayers. It also contained the social security numbers for another 64,000 state employees. Today the intern issued a statement with his side of the story. **** http://www.healthcareitnews.com/news/patient-billing-records-stolen-utah-hospital
Billing records for approximately 2.2 million patients and guarantors were reported stolen this week from the University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics. Backup tapes of patient billing records, which were contained in a metal box, were stolen from a car belonging to an independent storage company, Perpetual Storage, Inc., which is contracted by the healthcare system. The system sends the backup tapes off-site for storage for disaster recovery purposes.
I sat in front of the TV watching sports while I removed all of the torx screws. (You need a set of small torx screwdrivers for this approach) I completely disassembled each drive. The electronics went to the next ewaste collection, the empty cases and covers went in the recycle bin. The platters are flat and highly reflective which makes them excellent bird deterrents in fruit trees. The head positioning motor has the best fridge magnet I've ever encountered.
There's a discussion of this in TFA. Colorado is in the Tenth Circuit where precedent in copyright law is weak. Judge Kane did his own analysis and wrote his own opinion rather than relying on an existing Ninth Circuit Court opinion. A legal scholar quoted in TFA said that such an analysis is more likely to withstand appeal.
I expect the Italian government is having a hard time recruiting scientists and engineers to work in government posts. Why would you if some grandstanding prosecutor will go after you because you dissembled like a government bureaucrat. Had they issued unambiguous risk assessments of living in antique masonry buildings the management up the food chain would have been after their scalps for causing a panic.
One of the overlooked innovations in the film pack was the flat Polapulse battery. It was designed to deliver bursts of high current needed to drive the flash and run the motor that ejected the exposed film. A friend in high school saved the spent film packs from his parent's camera and did an experiment in Electronics to measure the current these could produce using a VTVM (Vacuum Tube Volt Meter) and a known resistance. Even partially drained, ten of these batteries wired in series delivered an impressive amount of current.
Mod the parent up. Mitnick has always admitted that his skill was social engineering. In some ways you could say that Kevin was the virus who briefly infected the people he engaged. They were the hosts who divulged information. In today's world someone like Kevin would rely on a dictionary of weak passwords and various forms of phishing. These kinds of social engineering still work very well. RSA was hacked by a phishing email. One of the most productive laptop thieves in recent memory used social engineering skills to gain access to businesses. Here's my question: Is Kevin is a "natural" at reading facial expressions and/or body language.

Albuterol inhalers have been around for over twenty years. The patents are lapsed. Does anyone know why albuterol inhalers are prescription only?
