You need to make sure that there is a clear demarcation between your content and the wikipedia content and this will limit your integration. The last thing you want is for one of your users to upload confidential information onto wikipedia in the mistaken belief they are putting it on the in house wiki.
Sorry, I wasn't being clear. My network proxy which I run on the network of an enterprise storage company allows me to block pages when safesearch is off. That means that the users can do whatever they like in google images but as soon as they turn off the safe search the results pages are blocked until they turn it back on.
I know there are a lot of the "mom's basement" sorts around on slashdot but please don't assume I am one of them.
Google just make sure they let the filtering people know how to categorise the pages based on if Safesearch is on or off. On my filter I can choose to block google images entirely or just when safesearch is off and that works just fine without needing another domain name.
The first thing to try is actually being good at your job, the respect pretty much goes along with that. I moved into an internal IT role after several years in a field engineer position so I have been lucky enough to experience lots of different environments and deal with lots of different industries. I have worked in some places that I would never go back to and I have dealt with some people I could happily punch but now I have found a pretty sweet gig and I'm pretty set to stick about.
If the users are being rude and aggressive towards you then either you need to be able to have a quiet word to senior management about this or you're best off out of there. If the company has no respect for IT then it could just be a product of the industry you are in (a lot of manufacturing type companies see no value in IT and so don't give it any resources, compare that with industries like transport and finance who are more likely to have someone very senior responsible for IT).
Who's your line manager? Who do you report to? Surely it would be an idea to have a word with that person and try to gain some support for what you do amongst senior management. They can then come down on anyone who treats you like $h!t. The only time I ever had someone be particularly rude to me was a lass in the training department who was a little bit full of herself. I had a word with the IT director who then had a word with the HR director who then had a quiet word with the girl in question who bucked her ideas up pretty quickly and was never rude to me again. If it's a small company and you are reporting directly to the MD then you could have a chat with them and ask if they could have a chat with department heads or just generally jump on anyone who gives you attitude, companies have an interest in making sure that people like you are kept sane!
And if all else fails just mark out your problem users and work to rule with them. They'll pretty soon see that a smile and a please gets them a lot further than shouting and screaming and jumping up and down (just make sure you are firm but fair and do the bare minimum for them to satisfy your responsibilities but be warm and helpful to those who make the effort to be polite to you).
Right there with ya. Of course if potential employees want to start getting picky during an economic downturn they can be as picky as they like on the dole.
And if they are really bad parents they will retrieve the phone, have a go at the parents and then give the phone back to the kid.
That's how it happens a lot these days.
you are assuming not only a level of parental support that just isn't present but also some magical ability to remove a phone from a child without risking an assault allegation
This is a personal privacy issue. This site was posting personal details of a judge who put away some nasty and violent criminals. I don't care where you stand on the animal testing debate but it's a debate and not something that can be solved by terrorising people because of where they work. The judge who put them away deserves the right to have his family protected in the same way that the personal details of a judge taking on the mafia would expect to have his family protected.
Let's all calm down and put this in perspective, if the site hadn't published something it knew it shouldn't have published then it wouldn't be in that situation. Trashy home made media outlets need to learn some responsibility for their actions.
Oh, and I am guessing you are just trolling for a fight because only the unreasonable or the retarded would defend the idea of 6 year olds playing this game.
I mean *6* for fucks sake.
Well for a start the game is an 18 certificate in the UK and M in the US. While it's not technically illegal in the US to sell this game to a minor, Rockstar themselves have admitted that the target audience is late teen and adult.
A good parent might actually let their kids play this game if such a thing went hand in hand with frank and open discussion about the issues raised in the game but these people don't sound like they are taking their role as parents very seriously.
The parents are double neglectful. GTA is not material for a 6 year old and the kid should not have been able to take the car joyriding. Just because GTA is unlikely to have been the cause of this does not mean that letting the kid play it is OK.
Isn't it illegal to supply an 18 certificate game to a 6 year old? Parents have a duty of care to protect their kids and exposing them to adult material should not be something for them to brag about.
Alas any material designed to absorb radiation would absorb too much energy and probably be damaged. It would also be detectable because it would be a 'hole in space' or a region of space with a sharp dip in background electromagnetic radiation.
In the UK we used to have a car industry. The death of it was the fact that the workers were paid according to their time served and their seniority rather than the skills needed to do their job. They had good contracts and as a unionised workforce they forced the car companies to do silly things like pay someone £35 per hour to fit wiper blades onto a car when a robot will do it for nothing or a south east asian will do it for mere dollars a day.
Capitalism is a wonderful thing in some respects but in a free and globalised world the laws of supply and demand can be devestating when the supply of cheap labour ourstrips the demand for that labour. IT is still a good industry to be in for those who have niche skills or are in areas where there is still a lot of demand but the demand for helpdesk monkeys is being more than matched by the supply of labour outside the US. It's beautiful so watch the country at the vanguard of capitalism be flushed down the pan by countries who satisfy the demand a a lower cost.
Oh, and you can bleat about the service being substandard all you like but these companies don't care about their customers once they have made the sale and most of them operate in near monopolies and know the customer will keep coming back regardless. It may not be 'right' but it's the reality of a free market economy and that's what you guys fought Vietnam for.
Most maths bods do their work for academia and so are working on extensions to principals previously discovered and which they release into the public domain for the kudos and the public good. Some maths gurus design clever applications for maths such as crypto algorythms and these can be copyrighted and royalties paid for their use. Most of the crypto stuff is owned by the employer and in that repspect people like RSA are the Sony BGM of the maths world.
erm...
the majority of voters were in favour of the other guy. same in the UK, the majority of voters did not want Tony Blair to stay in at the last election. Nobody apart from nu labour itself voted for Gordon Brown.
The massive immigration problem in the UK is not because the UK is the best country in europe, it's because it's the *easiest welfare state to exploit*. People don't flee cuba for the US because the US is *best*, they flee to the US because the US is *closest*.
while I can see that some people will want XP on their eeepc (my ex boss for example is adamant that he wants it) I bought mine preloaded with linux before the XP ones were mentioned (although there are instructions in the book on how to go about installing XP on it)
I thought I would probably put XP on it as I am an Microsoft guy and work in a Microsoft house and avoid Linux mainly because I am put off by the whinging fanbois all the time but I have yet to find something that it does not do quite comfortably with the xandros install that XP would provide. I use it for surfing the web (I am on it right now) and all those things where you want a device that boots in under 16 seconds (like flicking it on to check the bus timetable, using it as a streaming radio by my bedside and updating my twitter).
I can see why people will want to buy the XP version but they should really buy the linux version (which has a bigger HD in the new generation 9in ones) and then decide later if they want to pop XP on it.
The last report I saw into this suggested that it was the US because Iraq and Israel (the two main friends of the US in that region) were not impacted. This could either have been a test run for something else or a crafty excuse to re-route traffic from that region via the US (as actually happened) where the authorities have more chance of snooping on it.
The reports into this were also pretty specific that sat data that was analysed at the time showed no vessels in the area of the break for 12 hours either side of the break.
This is kinda how we got in the current mess with security in the first place. Some geek hacks together something cool (like SMTP) and never imagines that anyone would want to use his experiment maliciously (like spoofing the sender address) or thinks that by the time it is generally used it will have been developed further. 30 years later people are using broadly the same kit but in nastier world and the things that didn't seem to matter when it was an experiment on a small scale now matter a lot.

It was from a idefence report I got a few months back. It's not online but may still be available to buy from Verisign.
