Get permission from your company if you want, but call M$ and say you are thinking about switching to exchange and want to know if they can help with a trail run. MSDN is great, but not free, and this way you have access to M$ support during your inital setup. Run it a few months, play with it, break it (on purpose if you have to), have M$ help you fix it again, then make sure you thank the sales agent profusely as you uninstall and decide not to buy...

A camera on an officer isn't a 'public-facing camera' when the officer enters a private residence or busines.

First requirement would be to find more money to accomplish all this. Just paying cops better would bring more capable people in.

I'm curious where votevotevote.net was actually linked. Right now it looks like a 10 to 1 ratio, but is it linked on any non-biased sites?

I recently started a job that has me traveling regularly, and I went through similar selections. Ended up getting the asus transformer with keyboard for a few reasons: Internal memory slot: I travel a lot, and its easier to load up some micro sd cards with movies, tv shows, music, books/pdfs, instead of being limited to internal storage. They keyboard/dock also has a full sized sd slot hdmi output: i wanted to be able to plug in to hotel tvs where available to watch on a full sized screen battery life: the keyboard dock doubles the battery life, i've done some six and nine hour flights without having to rely on the airline power plugs that always seem to overheat my usb adapters. granted i took a nap on the nine hour flight, so not sure how much more than six hours of games and movies i got out of it.

User: My network won't work.... Tech: Move your ficus tree so it's not blocking the light again...

Aside from the standard 'wtf are you doing using your home computer to do work for' and 'i don't want my personal info on your home computer anyway' concepts, I have to ask about the IT department handing out encyrption software like candy? Unless we're talking truecrypt, what about the license costs, or should someone call the BSA? Even volume licensing costs, and i'd hate to be the hospital customer paying for it.

I guess technically that falls under biology, but i want to know more about my own body, how its affected by diet, ways to improve, etc. I spend of a lot time in the gym, and controlling / shaping / changing my body has always been of interest to me, i have the getting stronger part down, now i just have to figure out the spare tire and step away from the buffet...

I work on the DoT network, and this thought scares me. Please remember the lowest bidder gets the job in most cases, we recently started putting VM servers in, and these guys can't even reboota a virtual server without screwing it up. As a regional subcontractor, I'm completely locked out, to the point that I had to spend 10 minutes on the phone with our official helpdesk explaining the runas command in windows to the guy on the other end so he could run a command I don't have access to...

I work on floor thirteen, but no windows, and i've decided to exercise by taking the stairs...

I was looking to switch gyms, and when I went to tour a new one that opened up they wouldn't take me around the place unless i filled out a questionaire with my name, address, phone, and email. I'm perfectly willing to give them that info (minus email) if i sign up, but I made a stand on principle and asked them why they needed all that info just to show me the place. after he insisted that i couldn't tour the gym without it, i decided they didn't need my business and left, with them looking at me like i'm stupid...

I store encrypted volumes in a file, so that technically is one file, I don't think it should count.

I have reseller accounts at some of the larger hosting companies, and manage a lot of domains on the internet, i still use gmail accounts. i actually have several different accounts, most of them forwarding, and with rules setup to star emails sent to other accounts, etc, but i've never cared enough to get my own domain just for me, as a place to store my resume... I will say that when i've applied for jobs, I tend to take the application less seriously when its going to an aol account..
