Ouch. I went down the list of clients and did a little check on a popular forum I'm an owner and admin for the past few years. At least three instances of pasted text from one article or another using the forum search software. None on Google. However, this community-minded recreational board (and no commercial activity including ads) has zero interest in infringing on copyright and occasional posts some off-topic thing because they're bored. But, their off-topic banter now puts me and their community at risk. Yikes! And $105 is a serious amount for me as well as I'm not eager to put willingly put my real name, phone number, and addres in yet another database searchable online. And the three tasks are a true PITA that could take 5-10 hours to do including searching and removing any existing content on the 200 or so affiliate website URL, to program the forum to block them in the future, and future mainteance. And if I block, I guarantee I'll become a bad guy "censoring" them because they don't know copyright law enough to make a distinction between a hyperlink (which I thought was still OK) and pasting something from their website (which can be OK if it's Fair Use). Decisions, decisions, decisions.... . . Never mind! I just Google Molotov Cocktail and feel much better.

I'm sure it will work better than when a whale washed up on the Oregon shore..... What could possibly go wrong? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_t44siFyb4

Great, so EMET will be downloaded by a few developers and IT experts and their system will work fine. However, develop and deploy this beta application to run on the thousands of end user workstations on a corporate network? I'm sure between the unintended system slow down from YET ANOTHER APPLICATIOn combined with users wondering what this new icon is doing ought to be seemless. Too bad FoxIt and others don't provide a nagware free product that's an enterprise solution. Maybe Adobe will start roping back in all their bloat from the last decade and really tighten up their app?

We should feel lucky we don't have Cylons yet. They hacked 5 layers of firewalls in a matter of several minutes...and it took many episodes and a reboot via hot skin job sticking things into her arm before they finally removed all trace of the virus.

Outlaw salt...and only outlaws will have salt. Maybe we need a Constitutional amendment to protect the right to this mineral. :)

Unless your title is something like "CIO" or you're also wearing a hat as a policymaker for this institution...then it seems to me you're overstepping your bounds as an employee. If it's a public institution then you absolutely have a right to bring it up at the next public meeting (most have boards of directors or elected representatives) and you can say anything you want as a citizen. If you believe in it then use that forum. But as an employee it seems like you're in a pissing match with your boss and that rarely goes well for the person farther from the top of the org. chart. ;) Could the Firefox element also be that they don't want to support multiple applications or have to try and maintain them for security purposes. I know where we're at there was a recent Firefox vulnerability that has made different Federal authorities take notice recently and since it's not an official standard we removed it from our network...leaving what is only IE as a standard. Corporate and government networks are increasingly shifting from the policy of letting users install what they want as long as it's not a threat (blacklisting)....to presuming it's a threat and only allowing it if it's a recognized standard and managed (white listing). I've found Microsoft is often the default product line certainly, but it's only because somebody hasn't presented a compelling business case to switch or to spend the money to support multiple standards.

A variety of corporate applications including Adobe Forms use it.
