at least they didn't make it so that it could be read outside. imagine the economic destruction then.

I do home tech support for someone who works at what I assume is the same northeast hospital & was asked about this.

Requiring full disk encryption or anything that's on or connecting directly to the network seems reasonable for all the reasons stated above; it's their network, they have compliance obligations to meet & systems to protect, etc.

The part that gets me is the request to encrypt or install stuff on any machine connecting to webmail - seems to be a reaching a bit. If said hospital wants to provide webmail it's their choice, fair to assume they do it for their own goals of getting more out of their employees. If they're willing to lose the productivity... turn it off. Attempting to impose security requirements on end user machines for a web application is a fool's errand, you'll never get 100% absolute perfect security & you're gonna piss a lot of people off trying. Secure the web app as much as you want, but that's where your control ends.

c'mon... no trailing slash ? kids today.

No doubt the same thing is going to happen with Starcraft 2. Then we'll get to see it - South Korea will declare war on Blizzard! Talk about breaking boundaries.

As for ubisoft... think they'll decide to keep the new drm or not based on the outcome of the class action lawsuit that should be filed in 3...2...

Baby procurement and liquidation is a costly and problematic endeavor to say the least.

You should stick with renewable resources you have at hand, maybe just use baby batter ?

How about just having the mouse over the password field causing plain text to be shown (maybe with a delay) ... mouse outside = dots.

It's only annoying when X login failures results in your account being locked & you're stuck wondering if you had a typo in your dots. Would';t mind a countdown on that too ( you have # more chances before you;re locked out for 24hrs ).
