    SSNs would be sensitive, but not classified, information.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought people with clearances weren't supposed to broadcast that they have clearances. Or in your case, are in the process of getting one.

  3. I wish I could use it at work on Firefox Usage Climbing · · Score: 1

    I use Firefox and Safari at home. I'd be using Firefox at work, but our office only allows Internet Explorer to be loaded on the machines. The IT folks say Firefox has "dangerous" security holes and they won't allow it. I know, I know ... then what's IE?!?

    As Microsoft hits 30, critics reel off a list of complaints that sounds like, well, a Microsoft commercial: stifling bureaucracy, frustrating miscommunication, different units working on overlapping technology without adequate cooperation. In short, the very ills Microsoft promises to cure with its software.

    ...

    As it gears up to release a slew of new products, Microsoft is trying to untangle bureaucratic snags with a corporate shakeup meant to get the best ideas to market faster and increase the company's push toward over-the-Internet software and services.

    ...

    Microsoft is facing the classic dilemma that befalls a company that grows from a small startup to a major corporation, said the analyst Garrity. There's really no way to manage thousands of employees without a strong corporate structure, but that structure will inevitably alienate some workers who remember the freewheeling early days.
