In a corporate/enterprise/govt environment shouldn't IT people be testing and piloting those updates before deploying them en masse? I'm not excusing McAfee's incompetence, but as sysadmins we shouldn't blindly trust vendors. My company has been burned by bad McAfee DATs before so we actually delay the DAT deployment for about 18 hours - we let someone else have the pain of being on the bleeding edge. Although one of the EPO servers was misconfigured (lazy admin) and the DAT went out immediately - took out hundreds of PCs in one office.

The complaint is that people around here are paying for a certain amount of bandwidth and are not being allowed to use it as they wish. If the ISP sold bandwidth with a cap or max throughput or metered billing or whatever then fine; but they don't. They oversell and underdeliver; and then blame the customer for their own inadequate infrastructure.

In any case I don't pay for bandwidth and mail servers so that I can process spam, I expect to run my business with them.

Maybe the companies could take a smaller profit margin; but then they wouldn't be as profitable, wouldn't have money to invest in R&D and wouldn't be as attractive to investors. Ethics cost money - start buying stuff made in factories/countries with labor protection laws or with a solid support of human rights.

You get the satisfaction of knowing that your body can help solve crimes; and increase the sum of human knowledge. And your relatives are spared funerary expenses.
