Fire safes are a bad idea. 'Fire proof' typically means it will prevent papers from igniting, however that doesn't mean that it gets upward of 300+ degrees inside that little box during a fire.
Throw a hard drive in the oven for 30 mins on 350 degrees, see if it still works.. Submit your results to/. They'll post anything.
There's a big reason why Wintel is not dead. Big business
Tablets do have their place in business, perhaps a doctors office, but we have yet to see vast businesses be established solely on the basis of tablets and phones (other than niche gaming). PCs on the other hand, were very influential in development of emerging markets, and some business models wouldn't be viable without 1000s of them at its heart. While it would be fascinating if 1000s of businesses coming out of the woodwork and were wildly successful due to tablet/phone implementations -- I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
Phones and tablets will remain very much in the consumer electronics mainstay (hence my niche gaming market mention above). Until they take businesses over as a whole, then you can declare Wintel dead...
The best example of use of a tablet I've seen so far, is when Ryan from 'The Office' is asked what time it is, pulls up a 5" analog clock on his ipad.
Why not? We currently consider air travel as an exception to the Constitution. You check your rights at the curb along with your baggage. Most people are complacent to do so simply because of the 9/11 style fear that exists in the statistically improbable terrorist hijack. Seems logical that all venues of travel will eventually be subject to the same moratorium of Constitutional rights as air travel.
You don't make a single point because server machines aren't a target these days. Workstations are. Botnets are run off insecure 'browse a lot', 'IM a lot', and 'Adobe a lot' machines.
The windows servers we admin, which are plentiful, have fairly restrictive access; we never have issues with these machines. Same with our linux servers.
Personally, I'll use either, and I'm not a hater like most of the trolls here. But the server boxes are rarely an victim of virus/spyware/etc.
It always some farmville addict/employee that ends up absorbing most of our time.
First off, its still in beta...
Second, go to PDC site and watch the previews of IE9 if you dont want to install..
Soon IE9 will be the only game in town that supports full graphics acceleration. So you will have the option of browsing the 'fast' web in chrome, or have a completely new user experience in IE.

You've completely missed the point. Light bulbs didn't phase out the use of fire, just like tablets wont phase out PCs.
It is illegal in the US, under the National Labor Relations Act, for the employer to forbid employees to discuss pay with each other.
Good in theory, in practice, if your employer catches you discussing pay - you'll likely get a pink slip.
Indeed. Saying Wintel is dead is like saying the fire is dead just because the light bulb was invented.

Many people simply assume that he has to be smart in order to have created Microsoft and made so much money.
I'm willing to bet it takes more smarts than #2 on the list (George W.)

The use of BT in their name is no coincidence.
My workplace is in an industrial park outside of town. I would happily not drive if I could.
Me too. It totally interferes with my ability to drink right before work.

Where in the article do you see it state business records? Article states 'individuals', as in persons. Not business entities.
Thankfully, there is never a day without news anymore, so long as Sarah Palin is around.
Better dead than red...hat.
For your phone maybe...

Whats not to like about my good ol' startac?
... every other major browser in the world with full hardware acceleration.
Please cite source. Keyword: "full"
Chrome and ff both have poor implementations. Both arenas are probably a 6-12 months behind Microsoft.
Theres a solution to your problem... Stop watching pr0n at work.

Wireless protocols are nothing new. We all carry cell phones. What these guys need is to download the android sdk.
Someone should launch a youtube series called 'Will it Smelt?'
True.. But skynet was also a secret until judgment day..
