Nielsen is a sampling from the United States so using BT doesn't meet their criteria since it is global.

That in itself shows that Nielsen should fizzle out.

Security Awareness is a part of a security infrastructure. Since it is on the surface, and apparently everyone must do it, it gets the most exposure. In reality, it is a minor part designed to protect against the potential unknown, zero-day, social engineering or unintended privilige escalation.

An AUP along with three 5-to10-minute videos covering external storage, phishing and social engineering should be sufficient.

On some of the articles about this, a developer for www.swarmiq.com has been spreading his link www.swarmiq.com/register/GOOGLEREADERISDEAD to promote their reader which is similar to Google Reader. And, yes, they can import your Google Reader RSS feeds in a few seconds.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat-Nevada) is also a Mormon.

Training is a management box-ticking exercise, nothing more

In some branches of the DoD they use partnerships with industry, e.g. Cisco Academy, to provide initial and follow-on training. While this sounds great with 1000s of students having CCNA and CCNP training every year (without required cert test afterward), it does not translate to what the students will actually 'do'. It s a cookie-cutter approach to circumvent the lengthy 'point-of-instruction' change management process used in the military training environment. In this case I agree with the quoted sentence above as it sounds like a good news story rather than actually training the force to do their job.

For the rest of the paragraph however, my supervisor and I discussed this and he stated there are three types of education: What you learn to do your job, what you learn for your career and what he called life-long learning. How to run the new version of VMware is the first. A MCSE certification track could be the next and attending seminars related to HR and budgeting (when you are an server admin) relate to the last.

I understand what you are trying to say but patriot missiles are used for defense. They target incoming missiles, not people.

The way to win would have been to hire or use a CCDA or CCDP certified consultant. The design associate/professional track is for consulting on Cisco networking device options, feature sets and port density.

Unfortunately, most consultant firms hire with only CCNA certification which means you are knowledgeable enough to be dangerous.

Interesting observation, Einstein, considering that our President and both sides of Congress are controlled by the liberalistic Democrats.

So all the pirated copies of video games they sell all over the place in Afghanistan are for the tourists?

A great number of locals DO have electricity and do play video games.

The money spent on hiring contractors and DoD employees is about the same spent on worthless pet projects and other money dumps like the power plants in Afghanistan. Management of the people is only half the problem. If we nixed the spending on useless crap, we could keep the jobs and still save tons of money.

No one was kicked out because it came down to he said/she said and/or 'we didn't do anything, do you have proof?' The burden of proof in the military is as important as it is in the civilian world and the prosecutor has to have solid proof to get through the trial defense process. What they end up getting them on is inappropriate relationships or fraternization policies that are based upon perception rather than solid fact. I don't know if 15-6 investigations become a matter of public record but the number of investigations into adultury is rather high overseas.

Eventually, HE will. Then we will have a J.J.A. or Strazynski come along and do a remake. Maybe this time with a wormhole/time travel effect to prevent the whole thing from happening the way Lucas did it. So....that could mean no douchebag Anakin and no Jar Jar.... I'm sold.

Crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire so what do freedom fighters fight?

74B was not and 25B is not a geek MOS. Installing printer drivers and recovering Ghost images does not constitute geek status. Very few of the B's get the opportunity to administer a server. The majority don't even know how to add a computer to a domain or can explain what Active Directory is. None of them know how to show a directory or even print the working directory in Unix and if you tell them to look up the IP address from a Unix console, $10 they type in 'ipconfig'. The truth is that it will take a while before the military can actually have a true geek MOS. The candidates that would succeed would leave the service after the training to get a better paycheck. It is also useful to note that in the Army, there is no MOS authorized to actively attack on a live network and if you cannot attack, how will you learn to defend? (a signal warrant officer MOS is in development for that as we speak, 255S).

Contrary to your post, it is actively enforced avery day. It just isn't important enough to warrant putting up every Article 15 or Captain's Mast that happens in the Armed forces on CNN or Fox. The only problem for commanders in enforcing it is that it is difficult to prove without a confession, witness to the fact or a video tape. How do I know this? My commander just finished a 15-6 investigation into an adulturous affair between two enlisted personnel, his 3rd investigation for my battalion during this deployment.
