Totally agree, parents by and large have outsourced their responsibilities towards the content their kids are exposed to. They assume that whats on the television 'has' to be OK as long as it's on at respectable and child sociable hours. The real fact is that the world is full of explicit content, it's everywhere. Advertising and marketing have young children exposed to content that is making them act and talk about things that are many years their senior. Examples of this would be the kind of outfits that girls dolls wear, the focus on being skinny, beautiful and making boys like you, all at the ripe old age of 5-7 years! Children these days are raised by the media, the parents just stand back to take the increased abuse and write the cheques for the next childrens product to flash in front of their childrens innocence-lost eyes

The thing is it's part of history and that can't be changed. If a company goes to that much effort to pull up that sort of past info as part of their profiling of job candidates then a) you'll probably never get far enough in any hiring process to be told why you weren't successful and b) if you were be told that was the reason why you were not getting the job I'm sure they would know that they could be in legal hot water over possible descrimination based on the information being outside some window of relevancy etc and c) if they were discriminating against you they are not going to tell you. So best thing to do is forget the past, it can't be changed, don't worry about the future, we have no way of telling whats coming and just focus on today, your health and your family. The right job will come your way, when it comes your way. But in the end this is a lesson for all those young and dum script kiddies or boy genius' that think it would be fun to commit some possibly illegal computer activity for whatever reason, you prove that it is never truly forgotten and will be baggage you will always carry.

Helpdesk hours that are lost answering questions from people with a mailbox full of bounces for stuff they didn't send (or we hope not); - Helpdesk hours that are lost disinfecting the machines of all those who clicked the attachment. Mostly, the same ones who fell for it last time, too. What exactly is the function of the helpdesk...fixing peoples problems I thought. Now wouldnt this include any problems with a users machine...eg said virus And anyway, I honestly dont think that your full working day is completely billable, even if that is what you log and tell your manager...so all this cost per employee stuff is not exactly true. I would go along the lines of the cost of the time and money to actually fix the server to protect against the virus..not all the supposed "downtime" for the entire company.
