So right off the bat I would just tell them to suck an egg. lol. Good Samaritan type laws could apply. lol. The hackers are going to sue for copy right infringement or claim to be an injured party and file a complaint? Well, we don’t (or at least I don’t) live in the “Federal United States”.

]]> Comment on 5 Ways Valentine’s Day can Cost Your Business by Alexandro Hubert http://www.gfi.com/blog/5-ways-valentine%e2%80%99s-day-can-cost-your-business/comment-page-1/#comment-31594 Alexandro Hubert Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:02:40 +0000 http://www.gfi.com/blog/?p=8126#comment-31594 It depends on the type of business. Valentines Day is one of the most celebrated (and therefore one of the most profitable) unofficial holidays in the United States, Canada, UK, France, Italy, most parts of Europe and some of the emerging economies. According to the Guardian Newspaper, this year Valentine's Day revenue will be more than $17.6bn, which was an all-time high. $17.6bn is a big money. Surely that amount can't cost businesses some mollahs. Moreover, the US-based National Retail Federation estimated that Americans celebrating Valentine's Day spent approximately $126 each - so that's over US $200 per couple. Some of the industries that benefited from these figures include shipping, flower, gift wrapping, restaurants, malls and theaters, jewelry, and hotels / motels. It depends on the type of business.

Just go to Server Configuration then click Client Access. Under this you can see the POP3 and IMAP4 tab, choose what platform you would like to choose: POP3 or IMAP4. It depends on you and your account access but I recommend using POP3. It's easier and faster to get it. Good for Exchange Server beginners. When you are done, select Properties and you're good to go. The process above is also a great alternative for the Set-PopSettings and Set-ImapSettings method.

Facebook and Twitter are two of the most infamous culprits of why some employees tend to be unproductive at the office. This is especially true to young staff aged 18 to 25. These employees are more into their selves. Meaning, they care what people will say or think about them. They also love to hangout with friends and take pictures. They're also more techy than the older groups. The moment they log on to social media, they can't let it go for a while. And this will get worst if your office is not controlled with a monitoring software. For me, Facebook, Twitter, and all other forms of social media should be totally banned in a work environment (unless of course if your work is directly related to them).

For instance, some co-workers of mine, who don't get on well with their so-called Significant Others, Loves of Their Life, or simply Spouses, chat every days with them to have the daily quarrel for hours and then spend more hours chatting with other people, who console them about the quarrel they had. Basically, they spend a lot of time chatting - first fighting over IM with their Better Half, then seeking comfort from friends. You can't blame Valentine's Day for excessive chatting, etc. The guys before me put it correctly - if you have the policy in place, Valentine's Day or any other special day shouldn't be a problem.
