I really hope this works. It will serve to educate users faster about the dangers of online safety.

They also stuck Vista stickers on underpowered hardware and in this case, Dell even refuses add an XP uninstaller to its Vista driver downloads, citing “bandwidth” as a problem. |

The provision, which was added by the bill’s managers without debate this week, would require the nation’s payment systems to track, aggregate, and report information on nearly every electronic transaction to the federal government.

How are you protected if something like this happened?
Interesting to think about huh?
Maybe some investigating is needed on your employee computer usage guidelines.

As was commented on over at SlashDot.org, It’s a pretty sad statement about a product when people are willing to pay MORE not to use it.
