    Thank goodness it has rounded corners!

      I worked at a pulp and paper mill for 12 1/2 years and have heard repeatedly that we are moving towards a paperless society. A comment was made this week that we will be a paperless society when we stop using toilet tissue. On my commute this morning, I was pondering that and this question came to find: Are anti-virus and anti-malware application just digital toilet tissue?

      Production or IT? I did years in corrugated fiberboard shipping container manufacturing while taking some time off from college. For most of the last 2 years of it, I was working 12 hour shifts, with one day off every two weeks. It was the inspiration I needed to get my a$$ back to school! :laugh:

        Well, it's certainly not like an auto-installed anti-virus definition update has ever had a false-positive on one of our shared .NET assemblies, deleted every instance of it from the server, and rendered several of our websites inoperable last Saturday morning. :doh: The false-positive was removed in the next update, but I still needed to force it to check for updates, as it was too soon after the last update. And then copy the file back to every "bin" directory that used it.

                Them thar's a ponderous question, Podner, a virtual septic field of ontologies floating in epistemology. If I had to poke a stick into it, I might opine that these warez are a kind of chimeric cross of immune-system, and excretory functions, even a kind of necessarily symbiotic microbiome line of defense. But, I think I'll keep this here schtick fresh. cheers, Bill
