    Hey! I recognize that signature style! It's true. I do, in fact, inspire greatness.

          I had a row about security yesterday, my sneering of the word security in that instance put the quote from Melchett in my mind. I know how to fix something that keeps breaking in the testing we are doing at the moment, but am not allowed access. Those with the access are not capable of fixing it. This sort of thing happens a lot.

          You mean like the network folks removing the server used for synching my offline files, but not allowing me to disable synchronization, so I get a popup every hour telling me the server is offline?

                Well, I would have to conclude that that particular network admin is an absolute moron who doesn't really understand what it is he is supposed to be supporting.

                People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs

                  Why stop there, in fact the whole keyboard is security risk. I am sure a case can be made for the mouse, USB drives, optical drivers as well. They all need to be disabled. Why stop there, the network admin is the biggest security risk, he needs to be disabled too. ;P

                  Yusuf May I help you?

                  We suggested that disabling the Delete and Enter keys may be next... heaven forbid any work get done! Maybe even disable the power switch and encourage use of pen and paper..
