We calculated that, on the coldest winter days, the carbon cost of driving to work was about the same as the extra heating that would be needed if she stayed at home.
But you've less chance of ending up in a fiery car accident after sliding off the road on black ice.
You are wrong. There is a fine-grained security manager that can limit most stuff.

Sounds great.
Now, how can I be sure that the Javascript executing in my browser, a:. isn't malicious, and b:, hasn't been intercepted and changed by someone in the middle?
DEA does now allow for eRx of controlled substances, but most of the vendor community has not yet caught up to the new regulations.
At some point, we're going to have to accept that the devices we carry around with us aren't really "phones" anymore. They're powerful computers that happen to be able to make the odd phone call in between accessing the internet, playing games, taking photos and storing data.
That established, I'm pretty happy with my iPhone 4s. The glaring omission is turn-by-turn directions -- I consider it a public safety issue when I see people looking down at their phones trying to figure out what exit they need to get off on.
I work for a large company, large enough that I see people I don't recognize on our campus every single day.
Two years ago this weekend (Presidents Day, which is a holiday at our office) we had an enterprising thief roll a cart around our office around 5 PM on Friday, loading up laptops. Of course, by then most everyone had skipped out for their long weekend, but if someone was in the office he'd tell them it was for the "weekend virus scanner upgrade", promising people that their machines would be back on Tuesday morning.
I don't know this part for a fact -- our security people and management don't talk about this at all -- but I've heard it enough that I believe it: When someone objected to having their laptop taken, he'd act irritated and ask why they "didn't reply to any of the emails about the upgrade" and then make a show of updating his clipboard -- he'd collect the asset tag from the machine, office number and actually get the person to sign on the line.
I have no idea how many machines he made off with, but it was enough that we all had to suffer new BS security procedures for a year afterword. I would imagine that you could do this at pretty much any big office and get away with it.
Who's first language isn't Mandarin? I doubt it.
"Who is first language isn't Mandarin?"
Do you mean whose?
Assuming the admin wasn't too lazy to set it up.
Assuming that the DNS for the IP address range is delegated to the admin first of all.
It's all very well setting up rDNS, but sometimes, the bureaucratic nightmare to get the range pointed at your DNS server is just not worth it.
In a skyscraper in London's Canary Wharf financial district, Olympic organizers opened a Technology Operations Center (TOC) last month and that act as mission control for monitoring the health of Olympic IT systems. The TOC's location is a soft secret, and organizers did not want its exact location to be published for security reasons.

Wow. I contracted in Canary Wharf for 3 months this year, and I'm fairly sure I could guess where it is. That's got to be the softest secret ever.
