Are you suggesting the state needs even more workers or were you being sarcastic?

Edit: Not really appropriate.

Since when has a I.T forum been a reliable source for all things Earthquake, Tusnami and radiation related?

I've been watching Russia Today too, in fact I tend to watch it more than BBC and Sky news. It doesn't focus on the "Brit missing in Tsunami" side of things. As if the lives of the thousands of Japanese are not as important as that of a fellow Brit.

I thought the gravitational pull of the moon affected tides? If that is the case, then surely being closer to the earth, the moon's pull will be greater than normal?

Bury council considers mass outsourcing ? The Register

I was completely oblivious to it being Jif Lemon day.

Indeed. Build a giant Faraday cage around the school. Keeping with the theme of pioneers in the use and production of Electricity, place a giant Tesla Coil on the roof to zap any would be thieves. Perhaps I played C&C too much in my younger days.

We're all paying small fortunes for Anti-Virus software that is failing miserably to do it's job, so I'm more than happy to get false positives, as at least then I'll have an idea where a genuine issue might be.

What happens when a new variant comes out that blocks MBAM from running?

Call me a leper but I prefer Resistive screens.

It would be nice to hear what the many AV companies that read/reply on Edugeek have to say about why their products are not picking this up. This isn't a new type of infection.

Sophos is not very good at detecting it. I have the fun task of removing fakeAV from the G/fs laptop this evening. What fun.

lol

Yet is still all sounds alike.

I must officially be a grumpy old man as I've never heard of half of the above acts. Bring back Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox.

Not anywhere near Grenoside, is it? lol (Or Genocide as we used to call it at Uni)

Exqueese me? Baking powder? UK.gov's axing of school building plan 'unlawful' ? Channel Register

Who's up for a weekend slogathon?

You rock! I'm going to do this on Monday.

My experience with Encryption is that it needs to be all or nothing. If you leave the user the option to not Encrypt data, then they won't. I spent the last year evaluating Encryption software and it highlighted a lot of practices that need managing from a business level, rather than software level, if that makes sense? Various questions were raised along the lines of: What data is being taken off site? Why is this data being taken off site? Does it really need to be taken off site? What controls are in place to stop data being taken off site? As LosOjos mentioned, some users use email as a means of transporting data off site. It's all good and well encrypting laptops and USB sticks, and locking the system down to only allow authorised USB drives to access the network, but if a user can simply attach a file to an email, then it undermines the system. Encryption needs to be seen as good practice and promoted from the Head/Business manager, rather than a new annoying hindrance that the I.T department has introduced. I appreciate this isn't quite what the OP is asking for, but I believe it is useful information to share.

£280 petrol or diesel? If petrol it might be worth getting a diesel.

May the sexism row continue. BBC News - Andy Gray and Richard Keys move to Talksport Shame they won't be upseating Adrian Durham from his show.

Netgear Stora for me. Cheap, cheerful and hackable.

I'd bite your arm off to just image computers for £150/day.
