Ponder this. I'm pretty sure that my company also wouldn't like me browsing porn magazines at work. They'd probably get quite irate if, in the middle of the day, I pulled a Hustler out and started flipping through those oh-so-sweet pages. So is the only answer now to have security guards posted at every door to pore through all of my possessions as I come and go, making sure that I have no porn in my physical possessions?
IT Security Policies regarding porn sites have nothing to do with the content. Maybe Legal has a problem with it, but Information Security is more worried about what comes with those sites, and how difficult they are to blacklist (and sometimes whitelisted sites get purchased and re-purposed):

Everyone keeps saying "Firewall it!", but that defeats the purpose of the printer, which is to allow email-printing from HP's servers. If it can't get sent stuff from HP's servers, you can't email to it, but if it can be sent stuff from HP's servers, HP can send SPAM. Unless you've got a computer in between that does image recognition of any postscript attachments coming across the pipe, and edits out HP SPAM, you might as well just buy a model without the email feature.
No. no one NEEDS to print anything.
there is not a single thing that REQUIRES paper in todays age.
You don't have any children, do you? Try gluing two laptop screens together or cutting or folding a laptop screen for arts and crafts. Some things just need printed on paper.
And then: Some things work better on paper. I can't use a small piece of tape and stick a rack-map up in the server room using an iPad. Or a sign saying "Don't %^#(&@" turn this off again. It needs to stay on."
Now, if you're talking about NEED as in "food, water, air", then sure, no one needs paper, but no one needs computers, cars, clothing, shelter, entertainment, companionship, a purpose...
I did read the fine article and saw no mention of any lakes, let alone Earth's Great Lakes. Where did that come from or did subby take some liberties when composing this... umm... composition?
First paragraph?
NASA-funded scientists estimate from recent research that the volume of water molecules locked inside minerals in the moon's interior could exceed the amount of water in the Great Lakes here on Earth.
I think GP's talking about an xserve replacement. With at least two or three for redundant service failover, you've got a cheap solution (assuming your solution absolutely requires Mac OS X Server).
Maybe he was, but in the U.S., we don't recognize that a 7yo can understand what they're doing while committing a crime to a level where the appropriate punishment is death. The death penalty is reserved for adults (or exceptionally rare teens), and hasn't been a community event since hangings.
Got fuel injection? That's controlled by a computer.
good thing it's surrounded by a Faraday cage.
But the transmission lines to recharge an electric car/truck/bus/train aren't. We'll have to hand-crank-pump gasoline or diesel, but it's better than having _all_ transportation except horses down for the count. And that's only considering cars. Think of all the folks who use electricity to cook or heat their homes (even gas heat requires an electric blower-fan).
I watched the Star Wars Holiday Special before I watched Star Wars. I even enjoyed "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor". It took Jar Jar to ruin Star Wars for me.
I walked past this arcade machine a few weeks ago at a local movie theater. Object of the game was to cut a string with scissors on a robotic arm, the prize attatched to the string falls down, you win. The prizes were really nice, things like Nintendo DSI's and Ipods.
I thought to myself, "Gee, if I had a laser, I could win." For $200 I could clean out a few barbercut machines for ipod touches, sell them and make my money back fast.
Let me guess, the backs of the machines are mirrored, and the fronts are (plexi)glass? Be sure to send in the video to failblog after you're done. .) - one eyed smiley.
now imagine that when you opened the door to let in a friend, the salesman walked in too. He is now walking around your living room looking at your furnishings, which cleaning products you use, inspecting your rubbish [...] , how about we install a peephole in your door so you know not to open it up when the salesman comes around? That's Adblock.
And leave your friend outside with the salesman? That's cold, dude.
Do you have experience and/or have uncovered accounts of escalation from a browser vulnerability of a live CD to sudo to infecting a secondary OS which is accessible via access as data files?
Not even anecdotes, but the trivial nature* of the theoretical process makes me think someone has done it, and anyone using a Linux live CD might have Linux as a primary OS on their HDD, which makes for a juicy target. If it's an ordinary Joe that received a friend's old live CD, then he'll be even less likely to upgrade, but the HDD OS will probably be Windows.
*how many people apt-get update && apt-get upgrade firefox on their old Ubuntu 8.04 LTS live CD that they might use occasionally when they can't find a newer live CD? That FF (or even one from a newer live CD) must have a few exploits. One command under the "ubuntu" user is all that's needed to start the ball rolling...
And Apple Macs don't keep their NICs active when the computer is turned off, making WOL mostly useless.
I know I shouldn't feed the trolls, but, are you really that ignorant?
Energy Saver system preference: "Wake for network access". Wake-on-LAN is exactly what that option means. Been there under slightly varying names for a very long time: the Summer 2000 iMacs had the ability.
Who is the ignorant troll? Try turning off an iMac and find out. Apple calls Wake on Lan that wakes from a power-off state "Power on Lan". "Wake for network access" only enables WOL from sleep mode, which is mostly useless because users who want to save energy (or are in the habit from home) turn their computers off. The best part is if you complain about Wake on Lan to Apple, they shoot back just like you did and say they support Wake on Lan, when they clearly only support a weak, half-assed version. Another example of Apple redefining industry standard terms after they make a design mistake.
It seems the only way you can make a true "wake from off" for Apple computers is to make the computers turn on after a power outage and trip the circuit breaker. http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10375075 http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2008/Oct/msg00422.html http://lists.apple.com/archives/macos-x-server/2008/Oct/msg00438.html

At least in the U.S., it's more commonly known as a happy exclamation. As in: Yahoo, Yip, Yip, Yipee!
That's exactly what this sounds like. What we need is a government sanctioned music lending service.

Who is this "Yahoo!" that you speak of? Sounds like a real jerk to me.
Worse than a jerk. He's a Yahoo!

My GF, who is a teacher, still prints vast amounts of classroom resources too.
Shouldn't she be sending those electronically to the mandated Macbooks? ;)

Want to know if that rash on your leg is poison ivy or smallpox? Take a photo of it with your phone and ask the AI.
Or add this into chatroulette and inform the trollers what STDs they have.
Imagine if every geek in the audience pointed one of the WickedLaser 1W blue lasers at the opposing goalie....
You just made me remember Shaolin Soccer. Thank you.
Remember kids, the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover is watching everything you do ... and so is Mark Elliot Zuckerberg.
Do they share other pastimes?

The Taleban put a 7 year old to death for spying.
Begging the question: Was he spying?
Maybe he was, but in the U.S., we don't recognize that a 7yo can understand what they're doing while committing a crime to a level where the appropriate punishment is death. The death penalty is reserved for adults (or exceptionally rare teens), and hasn't been a community event since hangings.
The AI can utilize user-created creatures from Spore to train.
What about the power grid? If there's no electrical grid, how do you charge your Prius?
Got fuel injection? That's controlled by a computer.

If you RTFA, it's not a world ending event. It's just gonna mess up some transformers if they don't turn them off in time.
But will it be more likely to turn Autobots into Decepticons or the other way around? It's an important distinction!
I'd hate to see what would happen if all our energy usage was electric instead of burning stuff.
