We allowed our developers to have local admin access. In exchange, their machines were located on a separate VLAN and all communication routed through an internal firewall. This allowed these uncontrolled machines to do what the developers wanted, but allowed us to easily shut them down in an outbreak. It also gave the developers easy access to logging their traffic and understanding exactly what would be required to have applications run in a restricted environment.
For production systems, the developers had separate admin accounts that would be granted the required access to a system with a logged change request, time limited.
It works reasonably well. Of course the developers could just plug into a non-restricted port, but of course, this is better managed through policy than technology.
Are you aware that getting the seasonal flu vaccine increased your chances of getting H1N1?
I agree that in your situation you should be taking every precaution, mind you. You've got a particularly at risk child at home, it's a good thing to get the vaccine for yourself and your wife. It doesn't have to be some scary pandemic, it's just what you should do given it's almost flu season.
Most of the people here, however, are knee-jerk idiots reacting to the latest thing the teevee told them to be scared of; and I've been saying so since the H1N1 hysteria first started back when there was still snow on the ground from the LAST flu season. If not for them, there wouldn't be a risk of supply shortage, in my view.
So you would rather have it behave exactly like a real book?
As soon as you loan it to a friend, it will be wiped from your eBook reader?
Really?

I'm not seeing a downside yet.
syslogd on every modern unix is capable of routing to a specific log file for a specific app. If the basic syslogd isn't enough, your loghost can run syslog-ng or any of the other more powerful syslog daemons. You only have to replace the one on the server, the other clients should just be forwarding EVERYTHING to it.
Of course at this sort of level, you'd probably save yourself a metric assload of trouble if you implemented a proper network monitoring/management server.
Myself, having only 15 or so hosts to deal with, most of which aren't chattery just use ssh + a colorizer script I wrote for my purposes. I typically leave it running on a spare monitor all the time.
You complete misunderstand. This addition is something completely different from some hare-brained hacked-up "desktop" scheduler. Deadline scheduling a new kind of scheduling which the current scheduler implementation is being extended to support. It's the difference between a new image format and a new image viewer.
Do it all in Open Office and stick with that. You'll be just fine. No duplication needed.
Is this really the swine flu? If so, it's not bad around here, near Raleigh, NC.
The problem with mexican flu (that's the name btw.) is not that the disease in itself is particularly deadly. The problem is that it's a H1N1 virus.
H1N1 are the proteins found on the mantle of the virus. The problem is that no human can develop an immune response to either H1 or N1 (as that would be deadly). If a virus were to infect a cell, and the mexican flu would infect the same cell, there is some chance that the mantle of flu would be copied around the much more dangerous virus, which would beat any immunity or vaccine we currently have, would react differently to most treatments and be capable of spreading through open air (through coughing).
If such an event were to take place, that event has a good chance of making the 1917 flu pandemic look like a tiny issue. That disease literally blocked the world economy for over 2 months, making millions of victims.
The problem is not the flu in the H1N1 form. The problem is that pneumonia might "be infected" and transform into an H1N1 virus. The problem is, in essence, the evolution that it might cause in other viruses. Cases of gene transfer between viruses are well-studied, and the current consensus is that it's commonplace.
