No Smoking in the Green Zone
There have been a bunch of books about the mistakes made after the American invasion of Baghdad, George Packer's Assassin's Gate and Thomas Ricks' Fiasco being the two best in my opinion.
Yesterday, the Washington Post published an excerpt from Rajiv Chandrasekaran's effort. He was their bureau chief there for a few years and his book, Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone, will be released tomorrow.
I haven't read the book, but the excerpt is as damning as anything could be. It outlines how people were recruited to serve in the Coalition Provisional Authority, the group that ran Iraq right after the invasion. Instead of qualifications in Arabic or post-conflict experience or anything, Chandrasekaran reports that the key item on anyone's resume was ties to the Republican Party.
One little bit in the piece explains something that baffled me at the time. Here's the quote about James K. Haveman Jr., who was put in charge of Iraq's health care system:
Haveman arrived in Iraq with his own priorities. He liked to talk about the number of hospitals that had reopened since the war and the pay raises that had been given to doctors instead of the still-decrepit conditions inside the hospitals or the fact that many physicians were leaving for safer, better paying jobs outside Iraq. He approached problems the way a health care administrator in America would: He focused on preventive measures to reduce the need for hospital treatment.
He urged the Health Ministry to mount an anti-smoking campaign, and he assigned an American from the CPA team — who turned out to be a closet smoker himself — to lead the public education effort. Several members of Haveman's staff noted wryly that Iraqis faced far greater dangers in their daily lives than tobacco. The CPA's limited resources, they argued, would be better used raising awareness about how to prevent childhood diarrhea and other fatal maladies.
Iraqis smoke. I have no idea what the percentage is countrywide, but the idea of a no-smoking area hasn't really penetrated. The convention center in the Green Zone (where the new Iraqi parliament meets) is one of the ugliest buildings I've ever seen, a massive concrete structure that looks like a fortress. For years after the invasion, the building was a no-smoking zone. Uptight Americans would reprimand everyone who lit up, including Iraqi political leaders. A group of Iraqi politicians and aides would gather and look guiltily around until they hit a crucial number — maybe 15 or so — then everyone would light up at once. It was a weird sight. And then some American would tell them to put it out. Now, this is in the building that is the center of the new Iraqi government and the politicians were told by low-level hacks to not smoke. And, of course, the smoking area outside occasionally got hit by mortars.
I am happy to report though, that the new government has now installed ashtrays in the convention center and parliamentarians can now smoke in peace, and maybe try to grapple with some real issues.

Greg Garrison's new residency at the Armoury
Greg Garrison (second from left) starts his new residency on July 3.
Former Punch Brothers and current Leftover Salmon bassist Greg Garrison is starting a new residency at the Armoury on 20th and Larimer next month that sounds pretty cool. Billed as Greg Garrison Trio +1, "You Pick 'Em," the night will feature Garrison and his bandmates, guitarist Dave Devine and drummer Marc Dalio, with an array of estimable guests (thus the plus one), all playing covers.

In addition to Jeff Austin from Yonder Mountain String Band, who kicks off the series on Wednesday, July 3, Andy Hall from Infamous Stringdusters is slated to sit in on Wednesday, July 10, and Andy Thorn from Leftover Salmon is due on Wednesday, July 17. Now, here's where things get even more interesting: You get to pick the set list -- well, you can make suggestions, anyway -- on Garrison's site of what covers the band should play in its set. If his Improvised Roots Series is any indication, the new residency is definitely worth checking out.

Rigorous scientific research has shown that every part of the physiology is the expression of the vibrations of consciousness, as available in the sounds of the ancient Vedic Literature brought to light by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
This research was performed by Dr. Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., who, due to the discovery of consciousness at the basis of physiology, was weighed in gold (1998) and was coronated as First Ruler of the Global Country of World Peace (2000).
Human Physiology: Expression of Veda and the Vedic
Literature, 610 pages. Publisher: Maharishi Vedic University,
The Netherlands. ISBN: 81-7523-017-7. Publication number:
MVU-4680. Fourth Edition: 1994, 1996, 1998, July 2000.
This discovery has placed consciousness as the most fundamental level of the approach to health. It has re-established in the scientific age the most ancient, the most fundamental, and the most innocent and problem-free system of health care — consciousness-based health care available in the Vedic Literature.
From the vibrations of consciousness it is possible to repair the struc- ture and function of the physiology. The Approach to Health through the Vibrations of Consciousness is free from side effects, because there is no use of any chemicals.
We recommend that you initially take a nine-session course of treatment over three consecutive days — three sessions each day. Each session will last 45 to 70 minutes and can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home through the Internet. This will enable you to experience if the physiology is improving. Then you can decide whether to extend your course of treatment.
On the basis of your close observation and experience of improvement, the fast speed of recovery will be constantly monitored and actualized. Fast speed of recovery means re-establishment of the intimate connec- tion of consciousness with physiology.
Please note that our aim is to provide you with as much relief as soon as possible, so in case you wish to get assistance from any other system of approach to health, we advise you to feel free to do so.

Hey guys,
Not too sure if it worth posting this seeing as there doesn't seem to be much activity in this section of the forums but I figured what the hell.
I've been working on the project discussed in this thread and was after some early criticism.
The project is called CerebralStorm, and is meant for users and developers alike to post and discuss potential software, website or other project ideas.
The site is semi-functional at this stage. I'm working on the underlying functionality as we speak but I was after critique on the layout and design etc
Be brutal. I am a large semi-muscular man...I can take it :P

I have the following issue:
I have a primary view object (that inherits from UIView) that displays a grid of 16 squares (each is a class I created that inherits from UIImageView), in a 4x4 layout.
Each of these 16 squares is 160x160, and contains an image (a different image for each square) that is no bigger than 30kb. The image, however, is 500x500 (because it is used elsewhere in the program, in its full size), so it gets resized in the "square" class to 160x160, by the setFrame method.
By looking at the memory management feature of Xcode when the app is running, I've noticed a few things:
- each of these squares, when added to the primary view object, increase the memory usage of the app by 1MB. This doesn't happen at instantiation, but only when they are added by [self addSubview:square] at the primary view object.
- if I use the same image for all the squares, the memory increase is minimal. If I initialize the square objects without any images, then the increase is basically zero.
- the same app, when running in the simulator, uses 1/6 of the memory it does on an actual device.
The whole point here is: why is each of the squares using up 1MB of memory when loading a 30kb image? Is there a way to reduce this? I've tried creating the images in a number of different ways:
[UIImage imageNamed:img],
[UIImage imageWithContentsFromFile:path],
[UIImage imageWithData:imgData scale:scale], as well as not resizing the frame.

Cape Town to Host IPL Opener - Sports clash of kings hack android.
The summer of 2011 is going to be seared forever in my memory as the summer I read all George R. R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novels which can be currently in print (five of your supposed seven book series). Although reading the franchise was enjoyable, I have to admit I'm glad that I can now take pleasure in the cooler Kansas City weather without obsessively thinking of getting to various plights from the Stark family. This is all because Martin's much praised franchise is definately that once you start reading 'Game of Thrones' (the very first within the series) you have basically committed yourself to an emersion of the things dragons, walls, and political intrigue.

The storyline sees pace once the 4 main characters come upon several strangers on his or her hunting trip at different times and places but who all exhibit similar symptoms ahead of things start to go very wrong. What the main characters slowly will discover could be that the symptoms originate from an alien virus which ultimately contributes to the expansion of the alien in the body, a thing that was developed famous from the 'Alien' series of films directed by Ridley Scott. This similarity is acknowledged by King in the storyline with the army scientists naming herpes 'The Ripley' following your main character inside the Alien series.

Tampa Bay Shipbuilding - Gearing Up For A Boom
It's one stop shopping on Florida's west coast at Tampa Bay Shipbuilding & Repair, which offers its full service facilities, including three graving docks and direct access from the Gulf of Mexico. Touted by its owners as the largest yard between Pascagoula, Miss. and Hampton Roads, Va., Tampa Bay provides conversions, overhauls and general repair jobs with its 900-ton lift capacity. Owned by the Tampa Port Authority since 1955, the former Tampa Shipyards became Tampa Bay Shipbuilding & Repair on February 1, 1997. According to Henry Perryman, the yard's general manager of operations, the company, who has lured back about 20 repeat customers, has performed various jobs on about 150 ships — ranging from tugs to tankers — since its establishment. "From RoRos to bulk carriers to dredges, we repair it," Perryman said. "Major conversions are it for us." Speaking of conversions done, one of the yard's current projects involves the installation of a 118 ft. (35.9 m) mid-body on the MPF (e) vessel, LCPL Roy M. Wheat, eventually leading to added cargo space for the 864 ft. (26.3 m) vessel. The vessel will undergo its required inspection, as well as receive a new paint job, shaft valves, and 1,500 UWILD underwater markings, which allows divers to perform underwater inspections in lieu of drydocking. This process will prove favorable, since it cuts routine drydocking procedures down from every two years — to five instead. Tampa Bay also performed work on the Beltship Gypsum Baron

Overall Experience:
Best school that is well-deserving of its reputation!
Overall Experience:
I'm not too worried about career prospects because I believe a degree from this school is valued very highly.
Health & Safety:
Brock Turner was an isolated incident and doesn't represent the campus culture on health and safety.
Campus Housing:
Lived in Flomo my frosh year - was a fantastic experience!
Greek Life:
In a sorority and think the community is amazing.
One of the top athletic schools in the nation.
Overall Experience:
Best school ever. Couldn't dream of going to anywhere else.
Greek Life:
Definite presence on campus, but not as pervasive as greek life at some state schools. Your social life will still be fine if you aren't involved in one directly
Lots of fan support and opportunity for engaging with sports, but it's not an overbearing presence
Overall Experience:
I definitely made the right choice when I decided to attend Stanford.
Overall Experience:
I've enjoyed most of my classes, except for the ones where the material is hard, and the professor is made at explaining things.
Overall Experience:
Employers do very well in Career Fairs in promoting their name and recruiting potential employees.
Health & Safety:
Students are active in protesting against sexual assault and institutions who don't do enough.
Campus Housing:
The buildings are nice and comfortable, sometimes even the architecture and interior design in pretty.
Greek Life:
I felt a little left out for not joining a sorority, but it's not the end of my social life either.
School spirit is fun during football season, less in Basketball, and non existent in other sports, unless your'e friends with an athlete.
Overall Experience:
I am in a position where opportunities are all at my fingertips
Overall Experience:
Professors could be encouraged to give better lectures, but overall great.
Overall Experience:
A Stanford degree can get you pretty much anywhere.
Health & Safety:
Despite the size of campus, I feel that the school does a great job.
Campus Housing:
I would say it's okay, but then I saw the situation at other schools.
Greek Life:
It's nothing like a state school. The Greek life cuts out most of the silly traditions.
You can't really beat it here. There are some things that could be better in terms of their location or access for non-athletes, but overall great.
Overall Experience:
With a rigorous course load, a diverse and intelligent student body, and events happening constantly, it is both a blessing and a curse. You are stretched to your limits and there is always something to do and someone to go with, but you also have a hard time doing everything you want or being able to focus on something for an extended period of time.
Party Scene:
There are great options every weekend. Some small music events with a casual crowd, some EDM ravy parties, some classic frat parties, and someone going out to bars for sure.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
The verdict is in: most students are overwhelmingly happy with their Stanford experience. The combination of challenging academics, undergrad-oriented faculty, diversity, beautiful weather, and a fairly social campus environment all combine to make for a great four years of college. Students, particularly those in engineering or sciences, might find the workload to be especially heavy at times, but most students are capable and want to work hard in the first place. Perhaps the biggest challenge students face at Stanford is just dealing with the other students, who range from hippies to hyper-competitive pre-meds. It makes for an interesting environment, but also a stressful one. However, if you immerse yourself in it long enough, it will eventually start to feel reasonably normal.
Despite the problems that Stanford students find with the University, they overwhelmingly agree that Stanford is "their place," and they can't imagine being anywhere else. It seems all the hype and the hefty price tag are well justified by the experiences that students can, and will, have here. If you're looking for a university with a big name, vibrant population, and a good balance of work and fun, Stanford University will not disappoint.

Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley's Return Date and Opponent, Still Uknown
During the last few days, several rumors have been published regarding the return of WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (29-0, 12KOs). A return date of March 16th has been set down, but his oppponent is still unknown.
There is some discussion of a fight with Yuriorkis Gamboa. The match is unlikely, considering Gamboa is unwilling to jump all the way from 130 to 147-pounds, and Bradley is not overwhelmed by the financial terms, and Bradley will not meet Gamboa at a catch-weight closer to the junior welterweight limit of 140.

I much rather see Bradley over Guerrero against Floyd. Too bad he isn't Mexican so I kind of doubt it.

If Abregu had one more good win on him then a rematch shouldn't be bad. Hell, if Zavec wasn't already fighting Thurman I'd propose that.
Hell, I'll take a Shawn Porter fight....he's ranked in the top 10 for the WBO

Skip to comments.Keep Yer Paws Off Your PC: Preventing End-Users from Installing Applications
Posted on 08/29/2006 10:44:08 AM PDT by ShadowAce
Recently, I overheard an IT professional complaining about her users. Veronica's company has 300 employees, many of whom would have been called "paper pushers" in an earlier era. Some of those employees download software and install it on their computers, and it often causes havoc for the support staff. Veronica's specific rant was about screensavers (some of which carry a payload of spyware, making it a security issue as well as a support problem), but it could have been any sort of application.
Veronica had looked at a $10,000 hardware solution, but even that required 10 hours a week for system maintenance, to keep up with permissions and such. That didn't sound like a great option. But she didn't know what else to do.
Veronica isn't alone. Other IT administrators have to make choices like this every day. How much should you control? And how do you control it?
On the one hand, you may believe, a company's computers are its assets, and employees have no business changing the way the equipment works. On the other hand, the last thing an IT department wants to do is to prevent people from being productive on the job. Computers are tools that are supposed to enable those employees to get work done, which may occasionally include the use of a not-yet-blessed application.
And then there's the human element of corporate life, and the resentment of apparently arbitrary rules. They wonder: why is it more important to prevent people from customizing their computers than it is to personalize their cubicles?
After corresponding with a few hundred professional IT workers and managers, I found that the philosophical and management questions are harder to answer than the technological solutions. We'll get to suggested tech answers in a bitfor Windows, Linux, and Macintoshbut any IT administrator who wants to create a computing environment that's both fair and secure needs to first address the... well, let's call them the emotional and ethical issues.
Whom Do You Trust?
Long before an IT manager decides on a technology or administrative approach, she has to decide how much autonomy users ought to have. Or, specifically, how much autonomy each kind of user ought to have; university students are presumably less trustworthy and tech-savvy than are engineers, and salespeople appear to be at the bottom of the heap. (Dire experiments have been hatched by a bored sales person in a hotel room when he has nothing else to do.) Another issue is the business environment; you'd expect a bank to be more security- paranoid than a chain of dry cleaning stores.
As you might expect, opinions vary widely on this subject, depending on the respondent's own personal stance and the requirements of the business.
"[B]usiness needs to get done and people need software to accomplish that business. Once the 'us versus them' wall of 'can't have badge and gun' mentality is thrown up then you have lost the support of the business," says Michael Schiebel, the Lead Investigator at a Midwest Fortune 100 financial services company. "Our job is to help the business succeed efficiently and safely. So all software must be viewed in the light of business use; if it increases productivity then our job is to make it a standard."
Whose PC Is It Anyway?
One important consideration is that the computer is not the employee's PC. It isn't. Says Schiebel, "The PC is company equipment the same as pencils, paper, chairs, desks, buildings etc. The employee has no right to privacy while using that equipment and should treat it with the same respect they would give if they borrowed their friend's car. The level of respect the employee shows the PC and other company equipment speaks entire paragraphs about their morals and ethics. The business should use this information to decide what kinds of people it wants representing the company to its customers."
For many IT shops, the hand controlling permissible user installations has a light touch. They're happy to trust the users to do the right thingand then the IT department copes with the consequences.
Most users really don't need more applications than the company provides, say some administrators. According to one, "Most people either don't install outside software or are satisfied with the normal low-profile stuff that doesn't attract a manager's attention, and the ones who install a lot of stuff (e.g., developers and QA staff) mostly know enough not to cause any problems."
However, users who do install applications may not be aware of software licensing issues. That's not merely a matter of conscious piracy. Some applications are free for personal use but require paid registration when used in a corporate environment. Will every user know the difference?
That's not a minor concern. Ian is a security specialist who works in the transportation industry; he was involved in his company's development of the global client and server loads for a decade. As Ian points out, "Companies forget that freeware is normally free for personal usenot for use inside a companyand they are required to have some sort of license (users are too aware of freeware products for home use and bring them in with out telling people). With the litigious nature of the world, companies should be covering their exposure by making it clear that only company-issued and -approved software should be used on company machines, and that the user is responsible if litigation starts."
Also, it's now common for employees to take the company laptop home in order to telecommute or to respond to work needs while on the road, far beyond the old-fashioned 40-hour work week. If your firm enables Internet access for only certain approved sites, then the employeewho's working on your behalf for the rest of the weekendwon't be able to do things like home banking, paying credit card bills or placing an Amazon order, which, in the past, they had to take time off work to do. Whatever solution you come up with, it will have to acknowledge and deal with these complications.
Will They Revolt?
A technically easy answer is for IT to control all computers in the organization, and allow for no exceptions. That sounds good on paper, but it rarely works in reality. First, it doesn't work, because some users are indeed exceptional (particularly technical staff such as programmers). Plus, employees can be resentful that the company doesn't trust them. And it's time consuming.
For one administrator, company restrictions definitely get in the way of getting the work done. In her company, every time you need to change the font or install something for work purposes, you have to phone the helpdesk to log a call which is passed to desktop support. They phone you back within 48 hours, spend time looking at the software required, and eventually install it on the machine if it passes their security checks. Says the admin, "This may sound like a secure way to do things, however the time it takes to get an application approvedor worse, rejectedyou've probably missed the deadline for the work you needed to do. You've cost who-knows-how-many man hours running around getting all the I's dotted and T's crossed on the forms to make an exception, not to mention the testing and signatures required by desktops. Ultimately it can take weeks to have a new application installed."
This administrator got around the issue by stating she needed to use
ping and
traceroute among other things as part of her daily work supporting Linux servers, and at the very least needed to run
cmd.exe. "I now have full administrator access to my PC, and have therefore negated the security in place. I have also managed to obtain domain administrator access in very much the same way." So, let's take a look at some of the ways that IT staff address the problem.
For every stupid user story, there is a stupid administrator story.
My last employer solved the problem (sort of). We were simply disconnected from access to the Internet. From then on employees were limited to only intranet access within the agency.
Not necessarily to prevent the downloading of mischief from the Internet, but to prevent the UPLOADING of some sensitive material, which was used in malicious ways against the interests of the agency I was with.
Life can be hard when the people with whom you work every day are not politically reliable.
Not entirely true. The fewer the helpdesk calls, the fewer employees are sitting around waiting for their computer to get fixed and not producing.
For every stupid user story, there is a stupid administrator story.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Just use security groups, and group policy applied to Active Directory Organizational Units.
I think the real problem is managers wanting technology to do their jobs for them. They don't want to personally hold their people accountable for what they do and/or install, so they want the IT department to get that responsibility. But, as the article mentions, then everyone hates IT for the restrictions. Voila! The managers have successfully avoided doing their jobs and avoided the heat as well.
My solution is this: Every user who has a workstation for which they are the exclusive (or nearly so) user should be made an administrator for that machine and be held responsible for everything they install. Any machines that are "community use" should have no administrator accounts except for IT.
The "zero-tolerance" idea of IT-only administration is what we live under at the moment. It's a disaster, as the article so ably describes. Restoring personal accountability would go a long way toward solving the issue.
IT departments are just too understaffed to test each and every application an organization needs before installing. The ethernet paradigm is more appropriate. "Get it out there fast and if it breaks, fix it." Just make sure your virus scanner is kept up to date. :-)
But then it's harder to justify expanding your budget and therefore your own importance...
If a desktop goes bad it can be reimaged in about an hour.
Acquiring an unlocked machine requires and act of God.
Ah yes. The almighty helpdesk.
Here's a little stupidity from both ends:
Have each user log into a thin client that looks and feels like a real machine. If something goes wrong, simply restore the machine image on the server.
This has been done using a *nix-based OS on the clients, running a VM from the server. If the virtual client goes bad, merely copy that machine's image from a backup file.
Usually, the users don't even know they're on a thin client.
I've had several jobs and placements with restrictive computer policies, and nothing makes me feel more like a faceless grunt than when they make me use the system setup they think is best for me.
Meanwhile, I worked at a company that didn't give a crap what you did on your desktop as long as you got the job done and I got more work done there than at my last two gigs combined.
One place I was at used a Windows setup that wouldn't let you change your date/time settings. That was a real sharp one, especially when the clock got out of sync and was wrong all the time.
I agree wholeheartedly.
I can give you a few of those, but we won't get into it here. =)
As for the article, on Windows 2000/2003 networks using Active Directory, there are good mechanisms in place for being able to micro-manage user permissions. You can delegate authority to chosen users, and or use group policy. I believe there's equivalent ways of doing things in the Linux world.
| If I were running
a business, I'd consider
using thin clients
and just take away
general purpose PCs.
Keep workers focused
on specific jobs.
Let them click around the net
on their home machine.
I do some work for a huge Fortune 500 company and their IT is 1950's at best. Most employees used shared workstations which are secured by a user ID of "administrator" and a blank password. As a result everyone can and does install junk, junk, junk including instant messaging software, and their bank and eBay accounts all with their IDs and passwords saved. Since several of the employees are rather unsavory, I wouldn't put it past them to install keycatchers, so I won't use those PCs for anything secure.
"Acquiring an unlocked machine requires and act of God.
Or maybe a quick perusal of a couple of articles from 2600.
It is really very difficult to stop a privilege escalation attack if the user has an account on a box, particularly a Windows box.
NET TIME \\timeservername /SET /YES
In the login script will fix that. =)
This is why a lot of corporations will, over time, upgrade to Vista.
Personally I share the MS haters skepticism of new Microsoft releases, but a year from now, all new computers will be shipping with Vista, and corporations will be upgrading.
The most significnt change in Vista is the ability to install programs on user accounts without screwing up the admin account.
I've worked in IT support for over a decade and my current employer (a college) has by far the best policy on this. We give staff full admin rights to their XP workstations and reimage when they mess it up. Staff do not like having their PC's reimaged so they are naturally careful with what they install. Needless to say, there are only a handful of "problem" staff members that require extra attention. The vast majority are just fine and require little assistance as they learned to support themselves.
No, actually it's very easy ... they just fire the first two or three that exercise their "freedom" and the problem goes away.
Yeah, I agree. Redmond seems to have no feel at all for what is admin stuff and what is not. A user can't even defrag their own hard disk. :-/
My point is, either you can trust an employee or you can't. If you can't, then fire him. If you can, then give him the tools to do his job!
If the user is just an annoyance, who regularly screws up his computer because he's been playing around, then address that user, rather than handcuffing everyone for it.

The pin stripe wizards just decreed that all laptop and desktop disk drives running Windows must have full disk encryption. My colleague bent over and complied immediately. This weekend, his Windows OS is giving him a bluescreen. Too bad. The standard Windows boot/repair disk can't handle an encrypted image. He can't see his files anymore with Knoppix either. Brilliant. My laptop still isn't encrypted. It may never be based on the observed consequences. I'm watching with interest to see if the "help desk" has some kind of magic recovery tools for encrypted images. The encryption breaks disk defragmentation immediately upon installation. A hard disk used for compiling large projects gets fragmented rapidly. The "management" has traded "security" for functionality. I expect the loss of lots of critical project data to disk crashes instead of stolen laptops.
Wow! Someone here proposed hard disk encryption, and I shot them down immediately. My solution was for NO sensitive data to be stored on workstations. All sensitive data, and we have ALLOT of it is to be stored and used from servers. The data on 'the wire' between the workstations servers is encrypted using IPSEC. Of course this solution may not work for everyone, but it worked in our case.
Dude, that was really bad. I feel sorry for everyone involved.
That is exactly the attitude my company has. My company laptop was stolen from my office back in June. Since then I've been using my personal laptop for work. Rather than requiring me to have certain apps, etc on my machine, they have been very helpful in helping me get my machine to work with them.
As a result, I have the only linux workstation in the company, but I get just as much work done and I don't have to run all sorts of helper apps for virii, etc. The only thing I don't have is access to the VSS database. To get to that, I just start up Windows in a VM, and I can run VSS from there, checking out code into shared folders that my Linux box can access.
Gasp! You're talking about...personal accountability!
Well, I agree wholeheartedly. Sign an acceptable use policy and don't dick around with your system.
Basically, here's the only alternative offered around the office these days:
If you FUBAR your system, it's a 30-minute Ghost reload of a baseline system...complete with Winders XP, Orifice, Visi-slow, and FileBreaker Pro 8.
Sorry about your pictures, sorry about your favorites, sorry about that Palm-pilot software, and sorry about your shortcuts.
Suppose the user unleashes a virus that compromises company data. What does "held responsible" really mean? [Fix it themselves? Demotion? Termination?] How does this relieve the burden for the IT administrator when something goes wrong and the user cannot fix it? Most users are not as technically adept as they think they are and cannot see the "big picture" of a total computer and network environment, as well as the administrator can. I say drive the car but leave the mechanics to us!
Here's a good example from The IT Crowd.
I thought nobody else remembered that one. I loved watching the story unfold way back when.
Very nice. Hamper user productivity because the user does something that happens to "piss you off."
Do you provide a list of Sites That Piss Off Gilor so users can avoid having their accounts suspended?
This article tells a telling tale of the incompetence in the IT industry. Security is a breeze under Windows XP. Preventing installation of software is one of the easiest things to do. Both the file system and the registry can be locked down to prevent installation of programs. Even the OS can be locked down to prevent the executing of applications except those application that are authorized.
This can all be done via the group policy editor. Simple, but most "administrators" don't even know the capability exists.
bttt for later
Our solution was a signed contract to employees if they fubar the system we wipe it out no questions asked and don't save any data. And like someone else said it takes 10 minutes to ghost it back to how it was when they got it.
It's pretty tough to infect office furniture with a malicious product which can steal hundreds of man hours for which the company has paid or steal company owned data or expose the company infrastructure to attack.
I gotta say, I like your solution better than the arbitrary "I don't like ESPN.com so everyone who visits that site will be suspended" approach.
It's always good for a laugh now and then.
The potential is there, but in reality it just doesn't happen very often. With mandatory real-time virus scanning and anti-spyware, independent of local administrator status, that isn't very likely.
In practice, users breaking things outside of their own machine is very rare under this arrangement--remember, they're only administrators on their own machines--and doesn't justify the company-wide slowdown of IT-only administration for all Windows machines.
This frees the admins from having to do everything so they can focus on stuff that really need their attention. Users who aren't capable/comfortable installing their own mouse can always call an admin to do it, just like always. They just aren't forced to call him when they are able to handle it.
Interesting company IT consideration article :~)
I would require the IT group to repay the development hours destroyed by an indiscriminate act of "ghosting" a new image without any attempt to recover development files from the hard disk. The bill would be at customer billing rates for the value of the employee's labor that was destroyed. Help desk labor hours are about 10x lower than most of the software developers in my organization. Any late penalties for schedules misses caused would also be assessed to the IT organization that destroys the valuable data as an expedient use of their time. Loaded developer rates run $170 to $250 per hour.
"Ahlow? Oitee."
What's funny is that if the problems are solved by the new policies/software, the company will be able to get rid of some of the IT people who solved the problem. lol

After the past few months of TES-only discussion, the Community Wall is now open-topic again. Stop on by and say hello! Alongside this change, we've added a couple new features:
- Chat icons now appear in the "Members Online' section so you can see who's currently chatting. While you're chatting, the "Members Online" section will automatically update so you won't have to refresh the page to see who's online.
- Thuum.org-related emotes can now be used in the chat.
- A "Daily Topic" message now appears above the Community Wall, which will update with a new Dovahzul, Elder Scrolls, language, or video game-related prompt each day. Use this as a starting point if you're looking for something to chat about. Feel free to suggest topics you'd like to see here!
Part listening exercise and part audio drama, The Jarl's Word is a new series that will transport you to First Era Skyrim, where Snow Elves still stalk the woods and the dragon language is the language of the law. You are the newly appointed scribe of the High King, and must record his commands for all of Skyrim to hear.
Grab some pen and paper and listen at your own pace. Share an image of your transcription in the comments below, and the Jarl will award you 30 gold, or 45 gold for transcriptions written in runes. For additional practice, you can also try translating his commands.
Listen to The Jarl's Word Episode 1 - Introductions
The Jarl's Word is something new we're trying out, and as always we would appreciate your feedback! If you enjoy it, we hope to produce more episodes in the future. If you like listening exercises but would prefer them in a different format, we'll consider that as well. For now, thanks for listening and best of luck!
The Word Wall Contest has concluded, and here are the winning entries! Congratulations go to the following winners:
Read the Word Wall Contest winning entries
Many thanks to everyone who entered! Happy reading, and keep an eye out for future contests and events.
If you've been trying to access the site this evening, we apologize for the downtime and thank you for your patience.
We received an email from our web host notifying us that our websites had been compromised and that unsafe files had been loaded onto the server. Our web host quarantined those files, but in addition quarantined the entire web directory, which was why the site was offline for a time. We do not know how the compromise occurred, but believe it may have been through a Wordpress vulnerability on another site hosted on the same server. Thuum.org has been restored now, and we've taken all the steps on our end to address the situation.
Existing site files were not compromised, and neither was the database. At this time we have no reason to believe that any database information was accessed, such as personal or login information. All the same, we encourage you to keep a strong password and change it on a regular basis.
We will keep you updated if we find out more about the situation as we keep chaos and destruction at bay. Thanks again for your patience. Su'um ahrk morah.
In Skyrim, a Word Wall is an inscription in the Dragon Language that tells a short story or commemorates a hero or event. Your task is to pick a memory from Skyrim and write a Word Wall to describe it. Maybe you had an epic battle with a dragon, killed the village chicken, or witnessed your horse sail off beyond the horizon.
Winning entries will be featured in a collection here in the Library. You don't need to be a member to enter, but if you are there's also a 120 gold prize for the winning entries.
Here are a few examples of Word Walls to inspire your writing:

Contest Entry Guidelines
Entries should be roughly between 10-30 words in length, or approximately 2-5 lines. As shown in the examples above, Word Walls tend to be very brief and like to rely on context clues for full meaning. See the Word Walls lesson for more on grammatical patterns in Word Walls.
Entries must relate to Skyrim in some way. You can be as serious or silly as you'd like. The winning entries will be those that make the best use of the language and its vocabulary.
All contest entries must use the vocabulary found in the main dictionary. Entries that make use of vocabulary found in the Legacy Dictionary will not qualify for the contest. You are encouraged to make compound words and use the vocabulary as creatively as you see fit.
You can send your entry in a private message to paarthurnax or send it in the body of an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Word Wall Contest – your name. In this message/email, please provide:
- Your contest entry (if in an email, preferably in the body of the email and not as an attachment)
- A translation of your entry
- The name, pen name, username, or blog url you would like to be listed as the author of your entry
This contest will be open for entries until Friday, February 26th. Pruzah pel!

Wait and see.
It's very possible, but I don't see it that high, 20-30's no problem! Subsciber Base is going up and up!, it doubled last year.
Keep in mind, you can't compare BB to Android as far as user base goes, Droid is just an OS used by many manufacturers, not a single one of them has a used base as large as BB. You can compare BB to Apple or Nokia, and I belive BB is currently in 3rd place followed by HTC.
Windows 8 will bomb, already PC users are fuming over the new OS. We all know the bugs that are associated with new Windows releases.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
"Subsciber Base is going up and up!, it doubled last year."
and sales have gone down.
I think longs on this board would be floored if they had any idea how tempered the expectations that RIM internally has for sales of this launch if they could see them.
They all but tell you that they are no longer competing against the Apple's and Samsungs of the world but instead trying to carve out a viable niche for themselves. Yet longs on this board believe within months RIM will be back as a top 3 powerhouse rivaling Google, Apple, Samsung.
Oh well, that is why this board is so amusing. Longs have a history of ignoring CEO statements of bad results coming.
joelew111: you hit the nail on the head. They are one of the most screwed up companies on the planet. It was sheer dumb luck that they were as successful as they were. The nose dive of the last 2 years is more in line with their leadership's capability. Lazaridis fancies himself an innovator and though he's no longer CEO he still heavily influences product. BB10 may entice existing BB users, but in the end it will sputter. Thor will end up being replaced and the next CEO will axe the company down to divestable parts. Question is: will any of these parts have any value to anyone? (I'm thinking "NO".)
Sentiment: Strong Sell
I think you are realistic.
There is a key that RIM must open to get there and even higher in 2014, 2015 which hopefully would be announced at the Event.
but the CEO already told you things are going to be "challenging". not sure you as a retail investor are so bullish.
an 800%+ premium? based on what, an already-late OS that the street's not gonna care about?
$70 a share is a memory. It used to be $70 a share. But years of failing and sucking have brought it to where it is now.
