  1. Guess what Chuckleheads.... on 63% Of Corporations Plan To Read Outbound Email · · Score: 1

    ....you don't have a right of privacy in the workplace (in the US at least). Obviously, you have an expectation of privacy in the company bathroom while your takin a dump, but thats about it in a workplace environment. In most states, an employer can search through an employees desk if they wish. Why not outgoing e-mail too? Even if your company doesn't read your e-mail, your company's lawyers might. Why? During litigation, relevent documents have to be turned over to the other side. How is it determined if these documents are responsive to subpeonas and discovery requests? Lawyers read them. Let me tell ya, there is nothing like 500 lawyers laughing about your latest one nite stand with Misty the Office Slut...right before they forward the email to the personnel office to review for review as a sexual harrassment case...... My advice? Don't do personal e-mail at work. Use your own cellphone or blackberry or whatever.

  4. Beware of the US spies at the USAID!!!! on Cheap Solid State Computers Could Kill Microsoft · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Beware of the US spies at the USAID? Give me a fucking break. The article read like a poorly written communist manifesto. It was old, hackneyed, and had no basis in either science or reason.

  5. OSS in stores on Using Computer Stores to Spread Open Source? · · Score: 1

    It will never happen. Stores will never offer anything for free to their customers, unless they will profit from it. It is just bad business otherwise. Why give something away for free, when you can sell a $30 anti-virus solution? There are no incentives. If a computer gets spyware, the computer company isn't responsible. It might tie up a phoneline for a few minutes, but thats all. Not to mention that your average CompUSA employee has no clue about OSS. I can't remember the amount of times i've walked by the anti-virus software aisle and seen a confused looking customer. I usually recommend that they download avg virus scan (not OSS, but somewhat free, as in free beer) or another free utility.

    I could see an intelligent computer store setting up computers with OSS software for a fee, however.
