The problem is that statistically the larger the corporation the more likely it is there is one rotten apple on the inside, who will for monetary gain or revenge pass on the internal data table of users and logins. Many security breaches in the past were inside jobs. Walter -Original

Roy, here is my take, some might disagree, but it has served me well. My wife bought a Brother laser printer for less than $90. If you can live with black and white prints, this is a nice machine (I bought the color version for about $340), make sure the driver works for your OS if you want to

Thank you, Ahmet. I was NOT trying to make a political statement, we have the best navy in the world, but I realize they can't be everywhere. The ferry evacuating Americans was stuck in Tripoli for several days because of stormy seas, apparently not a very seaworthy vessel, while other ships

I am curious, the 6th Fleet is responsible for the Mediterranean, but I haven't heard if they are near Libya to help evacuate US citizens. No Google results, so I wonder if any boat spotted them somewhere else. China is sending war ships to help their nationals, shouldn't we do the same thing?
