How long has imap been around now? The RFC was last updated in 2003 - thats only 10 years to get it right.

I actually work under a union (SEIU 503):

My union doesn't impose their views on me - I'm not sure how that would actually work. They do send out a newsletter - I can either read it or not. Contrary to what you may think they don't shout their beliefs over loudspeaker.

You can't do anything (really) to prevent someone from crossing the line, but you can make it more difficult. While your co-workers are out working hard to keep management from decreasing your pay you sit on your ass reaping the benefits.

On your last point - I hate people who reap all the benefits that we worked hard for in our union, but don't participate at all. If you don't like working in a union shop - leave the company - that's your right to work :).

Unions worked hard for the weekend - remember that any time you have a day off.

This is kinda funny - the last phone I had that actually had an SD-Card slot was my Droid-X, and previously the HTC Nexus 1.

BOTH phones required you pull the battery out to swap the SD-Card... so I never did. You know what - I found you really don't need to either. There are so many connection options for the Android OS that you can move files to and from it really easily, and it has TONS of cloud based options too for streaming audio and video over the net.

I think I use up like 4-5 gigs of my Galaxy Nexus's 32 gigs of storage.

Long waits? When was the last time you went to visit your doctor in the US? I'm lucky if I can see him this week.

Same with the emergency room - unless you are bleeding all over the place chances are you'll be waiting for a couple hours.

My one scrape with socialized medicine was in Canada where they fixed a broken arm - put it in a cast. I don't remember waiting at all in the emergency room and to this day I haven't been billed.

Actually its just like any strike - the issue is control.

The internet is OVER!

Windows source code is available though:

Nexus 4 is 199 - unlocked and OFF contract.

You know its a management problem, until said manager decides to be a whistleblower. Then who watches the managers?

The systems I run have ABL (activity based logging) but you'd have to have a team of people on staff to parse those logs in real time at it always seems like there's never money for extra security staff in IT right?. No of course not - we have like one IT security guy in charge of securing a thousand servers.

Typically what happens (and this is RARE) but someone accesses or modifies a record that they shouldn't have - months later someone discovers this so they pour through the change log and find out who did this. But by then the person could have copied the record to a usb key, to their phone, printed it out - or even memorized the content in their brain.

Sure you can fire them, but by then whoever wanted that content has it and is halfway around the internet.

Really what it comes down to is you need to not being doing illegal things. Somewhere along the chain of command someone is going to have enough access.

Example?

I work at a union shop and it really isn't any different that non-union. In fact I get paid than many of my non-union counterparts.

There is that problem though - that I've seen in my organization (and others I've worked for) is that you get a Linux admin in and they prefer distribution X for whatever reason, and then they move on and the new admin likes distribution Y and slowly but surely proceeded to migrate everything to distribution Y. Management has dictated that everything will be on Suse, but sure enough plenty of projects for customers who didn't want to pay the license fees went with CentOS or something else (I work for a University) - so now management has a standard that everything will be on CentOS or Suse. Even that has been hard because our ERP (Oracle Middleware based) demands it all be run on Solaris.

Yes there are a lot of variants for Windows, but it is nice to know you can buy a premier contract from Microsoft - and even if your admin is an idiot - you can hire an engineer to be onsite to help you with your server apps. Its not cheap, but they know what they are doing.

Most enterprises have a license agreement with MS anyhow that allows them to install as many Windows servers as they need/like (you just pay a per year maintenance fee - which can include support). And most managers (for good reason I'm sure) don't like putting anything in place that doesn't have a support contract in place.

What I've found that works - and probably what you need to do in your shop is separate the Unix and Windows admins - and assign projects based on work-load or what works best as a platform.

Say you have some vertical market application that only runs on Windows Server.

Yes you as a Linux purist would balk at the idea, but most enterprises have plenty of these apps that some manager spent a ton of money on that they pay you to keep running.

That said - I've got a bunch of Windows servers in my enterprise - they don't have any uptime issues. The most recent outage was causes by the data center UPS exploding (which forced all the circuits onto the remaining two and they shut down - yeah its a nasty wiring/design issue).

Wha?

My big question is of course - how do you know the CIA isn't already tapping the data in your network?

I mean where I work we have infrastructure security people (3 of them!) but only one I've met seems to actually know anything about vulnerability vectors and actually knows how to parse access logs.
