Anytime I have seen them, the user requirement for a computer such as a call center was minimal or a organization with very little IT staff so it helped with having one person to manage the clients and if one broke, swap it out quickly. The big plus of them is forcing what your users can access, knowing their work space is secure, and controlling what comes in and out of the organizations network since the workspace is in a container. Ya they are easy to mange and simple but with most of the SSL VPN devices out there now offering a similar controled desktop cache, the need for them is getting smaller and smaller.

I am so sick of these articles. The terrorist camps are using kids to carry explosives, weapons, etc. Just because a 3 year old is adorable and innocent in our western culture, to some terrorist groups its just a vehicle to transport a explosive device. Seriously, let anyone who complains about being searched all fly on their own airplane with the rest of the people who don't want to be violated and let the rest of us be the normal flights. I hate this mentality that flying on an airplane suddenly is in the bill of rights next to freedom of speech. Its a privilege and if you don't want to be searched and have the government violate your privacy then drive yourself or walk

Hey at least they still could get to Facebook and MySpace there.

There is cheating in college?! No way. A lot of the papers including research and also computer science classes are full of cheating. People would pay $100 a project that took you maybe 2 hours if you knew what you are doing and near$1,000 for research papers. Its become a pretty marketable business and there is a lot of sites that have always taken advantage of it. It will always win too since the work people are doing for paying "client" is submitted to the person and not posted online to get caught by plagiarism crawlers.

With all the drones and rovers we have sent there, I fell like something would have shown up and wondered WTF that silver thing thats driving around is. Intelligent life is random in the galaxy based on a lot of theories. I personally think we should stick to that and come up with ways to find resources we can harvest on other planets then trying to build a Moon or Marse base. Bringing back massive ships of minerals and compounds from the moon, mars and other nearby planets is a lot closer than the idea of surviving millions of miles from Earth.

It is pretty wild to see but come on, if she was really talking on a cell phone/satellite phone: a) was there capable towers and satellites at that time to even communicate with b) why isn't no one freaking out that some lady is talking on a "future device" It was probably a two way radio or other device. Most of that stuff was around in the early 1920's.

I think they aim the game for the more general public. Games are getting more mainstream than ever so there is the line to stay on that keeps the casual gamer into your game and the hardcore gamer motivated. MW2 and Halo have done a good job with the multiplayer to keep the game fun along with adding the special ops part as something different but if a game wants to be big in the large public, its gotta have more of a store line and fun factor than complexity IMO.

Exactly. This and also net neutrality are why we need to get more younger voters out there and voting against this crap. The large voter base thats above the tech generation just sees "anti-terrorist" and thinks they are doing the country a favor by voting for this garbage.

Guess they took a pretty big hit not having a billion people visit your page viewing ads.

I think we just explained UFO sightings....

Billions of dollars in military funding and they couldn't even MD5 hash the transmitted data?

Its a pain but you can b*tch at their customer support and get your profile expunged from their servers. It was a pain but I did it once in the past. Now I keep my profile limited to Name, City, Company, and networks. No personal details at all in my profile.

I am also seeing that more and more people are calling them promoters and advertisers by adding 1,000 friends on there and don't realize the information they are disclosing. The biggest example is the Palin email account hacking that most of the answers to security questions was found in her Facebook.

I could not imagine dedicating that much time into a game and then having any reason to wake up the next morning after you beat it.

If you work in a support field, you are on call. I have worked in data and voice engineering since I was in college and have been required to be on call as the systems you maintain are business critical. One job was not paid however the one I currently am with now pays 3 extra hours of normal wages the week you are on call for the inconvenience and every call that comes in from the automated system that requires work you are allowed to take over time on. These customers rely on their systems to do business so any smart company will pay their employees accordingly to take care of them. Money doesn't help with the pain of being woken up in the middle of the night but you at least get more willing and helpful employees IMO and experience
