America - The Newest
Third World Nation
By the Earl of Stirling
8-26-8

I remember a lunch, about 21 years ago in Long Beach, California, with the president of an aerospace company, myself, and a senior foreign general. A comment by the general has always stayed with me. He said, "America is a very rich nation, it will take a lot to bring her down". In the twenty some years after this, I am simply amazed at just how far one crooked president after another, with the assistance of our "bought and paid for" Congress has managed to take us.

Premier, which used to go by the name Diebold, fessed up to the bug after Ohio elections officials complained of irregularities during primary elections in March. After first blaming the problems on human error and bugs in anti-virus software, Premier now admits they were caused by the logic error. The logic error has been part of the software for 10 years.

Tuskegee Airman died amid plans to immortalize him

Baugh and the other Tuskegee Airmen helped conquer Axis forces abroad, but their greatest victory may have been against bigotry and ignorance at home. Call them a squadron that ushered in not only the desegregation of the armed forces by President Harry S. Truman but the civil-rights movement that followed.

Ten Back to School Security Tips for Administrators

With the start of school around the corner, many IT administrators have to prep their environments for the hordes of students that will insist on downloading the entirety of Internet. Interestingly enough, our employees sometimes feel that they should do the same.

While they may not necessarily be visiting unsavory sites, they are likely to visit a variety of other sites that will distract them from their learning or job responsibilities. So what are those things should be done in preparation for the start of the school year (many at little-to-no-cost), whether at the school or in the work environment?

Guidelines for Online Socializing

Parents, teachers, and others who care for young people who are socially active online should first set reasonable expectations. Forbidding young people to use social networking sites may force them to "go underground" and find other avenues (e.g., library computers, mobile phones, or friends' computers) to continue their online social life. A positive alternative is to teach them how to think critically about what they are seeing, reading, hearing and sharing online, and to ask for advice when something doesn't seem right.

Should you EVER reply to a spam message?

First you need to determine what kind of junk mail you have. Is it being sent by a company you've ever done business with, or something you might have signed up for in the past, however long ago? Most commercial mail being sent by legitimate companies will have an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and though those links can take a few days (up to 10 in some cases) to go into effect, if you follow the instructions to unsubscribe from a mailing list (be sure to complete the transaction and read what to do carefully so you don't miss anything) the messages should stop.

Social Networking and Young People: Know the Risks

As kids return to school in August and September, many of them also return to their home computers, which they increasingly use for school assignments. But, in addition to their scholarly pursuits, teens and tweens will likely use their computers for social networking and other online entertainment. Many kids are fascinated with the freedom, anonymity, and social interaction afforded by social networking sites, chat rooms, blogs, message boards, and virtual worlds. But they may not be aware of all the risks.

Not All Antivirus Programs Are Created Equal

Another issue with antivirus programs is the size of the processing footprint they exert. A number of common programs have very large footprints and will significantly slow down your computer -- especially on startup. It is worthwhile asking about and understanding the effect the antivirus program will have on your particular computer.
