Working 10 years so far in IT healthcare and I can say this, every-time there is any hint of a possible data being compromised whether it be incoming or outgoing (this isn't even touching on HIPPA and the incredible pain in the ass it is) the hospital IT department ultimately has to to answer to the CEO why server X is on the network and why is it doing XYZ. I can tell you that in every facility I have worked in as soon as this came to light the switch port would be shut down and there would be a nice little team from IT in the dept asking alot of questions as to why there is a piece of equipment on the network that the hospital didn't purchase. My advice, take your server home and go through IT channels for your scheduling.

Submission + - Teens Protecting Their Online Profiles

Submitted by Thib on Friday April 20, 2007 @06:02PM

Thib writes: A study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project reveals that the majority of teens pay attention to what they are exposing about themselves in their online profiles on social networking communities like Facebook. For instance, while many routinely use their first name or include a picture, 'fewer than a third of teens with profiles use their last names, and a similar number include their e-mail addresses. Only 2 percent list their cell phone numbers.' The study comes among growing think-of-the-children brouhaha in state legislatures about the dangers of online predators. From the article: 'According to Pew, 45 percent of online teens do not have profiles at all, a figure that contradicts widespread perceptions that the nation's youths are continually on MySpace.'

Next Gen Console Commentary 55

Today has seen a bit of commentary on each of the three next-gen consoles, all relatively positive. The PlayStation 3 has seen users for the PSN community crack the 1.3 million mark, according to Next Generation. If you enjoy the Wii's Virtual Console feature, Chris Kohler has you set up today with a rundown on every VC title rumored or released to date. Nintendo's consoles are selling pretty well, too. Microsoft has had something of a mixed day. On the one hand gamers can look forward to Beautiful Katamri coming to XBLA in the states. On the other, an investment adviser has called Microsoft's entire gaming business a 'disastrous endeavor'.
