That is exactly what I wanted to convey.

Russia has obligations according to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and Article I explicitly forbids "Selling warheads". And even if they did disregard this treaty, expect the revival of the nuclear shield.

So basically you suggest we just abandon the NNPT? And with the submissive attitude that "they will get it anyway". Ignorance at its best/worst. Albeit difficult at best, we owe it to mankind and future generations to strive for a world free of nuclear weapons. More realistically: That we do our utmost to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Particularly when combined with totalitarian regimes and hostile intents.

If you somehow are offered a pivotal position in these questions, please refrain ;-)

You either love him or hate him. Then you choose what you believe based on where you stand. This applies to the majority of people familiar with him and the circumstances.

8% of the Linux kernel code comes from Linus... Don't shoot the messenger.

It seems like management handed the task of putting together the marketing video to a bunch of engineers. Luckily they were also given a set of requirements, this is all an engineer needs!

This is how I imagine the checklist:

• A housewife - CHECK
• Kinda geeky male with glasses - CHECK
• A grandmother! - CHECK
• A member from a minority group, preferably black - CHECK
• Pleasant conversation, insert laughs at discretion - CHECK
• Every party has it.. BALLONS!! - CHECK
• "Awesome" hand gesture at the end - CHECK

Note: If there happens to be a clock in the background, don't bother with it, no one cares and it saves us money.

What sort of stench does slashdotters emit that predominantly serve as a warning signal to females? And why is there no research on it?

Some things worth considering:

Like others are saying, stick to the topic you were asked to present. I have rarerly heard of any presentation were they gave too little information, most of the time it's the opposite. If your audience leave with a good experience, they learn and are more open to similar presentations later. Too much information and they leave learning little and will likely oppose similar presentations in the future.

Give real life examples! It's obvously very easy to dig up highly relevant cases and news articles etc. Create a good but short summary of any articles you include. The summary should highlight the issues and consequences that relates to your topic. And be sure to include various ways in which the company was exposed or individuals embarrassed etc. The most basic human instinct is fear, appeal to it by letting them know that one of them can end up loosing their job and/or embarrassed on the front page of the news as a result of their actions online. Putting the audience in the hot seat so to speak. The point is that I think it needs to directly relate to them individually, if consequences only relates to the company, many will forget/ignore.

Let them know that absolutely anything that get's posted online about them can live online as long as they live and probably longer. As was the case with pictures on Facebook.

I also think that a good opening to the presenation creates attention. Humour is what many choose, but do whatever feels natural, constrained/forced humour rarely works well.

This was a situation where a user carelessly executed a binary offered by email, social engineering is platform independent.

I don't know where you get this from but it's complete and utter bullcrap. Your statement alone is incomplete at best, with references to 'lighter weights', 'couple of times', it does not get any more vague than that. Don't listen to this folks, weightlifters don't exclusively do lighter weights and many repetitions simply because it is not optimal for pure strength. If you lift weights regurarly following a program even only for one year, you will know from experience that you need to stress and overload your muscles to build strength. That means you need to put on heavy weights to get maximum return from your effort. But remember that a complete traning program does not exclusively contain weightlifting exercises with many/few repetitions. Many repetitions is usually for warmup, softening the tendons and attracting blood to the muscle, this avoids injury and improves metabolic response. It also prepares the muscles for heavier weights, that is why you usually build up before you do heavy weights, muscles need to adapt for best response. There are many philosophies when it comes to weight lifting for strength, but I guarantee you that none of the successfull one's is according to quoted statement.
