but, it seems to me that security is one of the most, if not the most important parts of running a network. The way that I understand networking is that if it is not secured properly, it is only a matter of time before a major crash, or the software and/or hardware conflict with each other and lead to endless problems with one or the other, as opposed to a crash.
Or am I missing something?
I also live in an old apartment, so I know exactly what you are talking about. Everything is borderline obsolete, but functional here. In that case you buy one of the maintainance guys a 12 pack--it'll get fixed!
What I'm wondering is how many people with disabilities are actually on this commission, as opposed to some career bureaucrats or Ph.D's who actually believe that they know what type of accomodations/modifications are necessary for a person with a disability to actually use have full use of a computer.

You're right B'Trey. When I first read of Ken Lay's death, the first thing that crossed my mind was that it could possibly be due to stress. In other words, speculation. And, I don't believe for one minute that the author of the article and I were the only 2 people in the country who thought that. As you said, there was also nothing wrong with writing that, as the word speculation was included.
Wikipedia is a source of information, however, not a primary source. Is it possible that the Washington Post perceives it as such?
I didn't like this description of the authors of Wikipedia articles.
They may be written by experts or insane crazy people. Or worse, insane crazy people with an agenda.
Fact of the matter is that some news stories have broken on the blogs before they did in other sources. Sounds to me like a case of jealously on the part of some at the Post, as they may not know how to use the internet as a source of information as well as others do.
Definitely. A few years ago, one of the students of the local high school was drafted by a professional team and signed a 7 figure contract. Hasn't given a dime back to the any of the teams/atheletic depts/boosters. Makes the paper for everything else though--including a DWI.
Hackers will figure it out sooner than most realize. Just look at one of the unexpected side effects of WGA. I thought that was hilarious! And as you said, some are too niave to believe that it won't happen again? Come on!

Built-in spellchecking is kind of insulting to the user.
I've used both Opera (in the past) and Firefox (more recently). Think I'll go back to Opera now.
This administration does not want another Daniel Ellsberg leaking today's equivilant of the Pentagon Papers. Especially after reading this.

How often does anyone clean the lint trap?
So, people with disabilities are told what they need...as opposed to being asked. What else is new?

What does that say about the author?

Glad someone caught that. For awhile, I was almost beginning to wonder...
FWIW, the FBI did bust someone from Pepsi for trying to steal the recipe for Coca-cola! Priorities.
