quelle suprise

it can hardly be a surprise to the Security Services that the leaks have come from Trusted SysAdmins. It is the same in many companies, in my experience, ordinary users don't always have access to thumb drives or writable drives, but the 'techies' swan in and around with copies of the OS on a burnt drive or a pen drive. We assume they are doing something proper, but what if they are just using our accounts to swipe data? It would be easy enough to do. But then again, it is easy enough to stop too, the problem is, it is the SysAdmins that would have to implement the blocks, and I guess most of them are not motivated? At a recent place I worked, pen drives were locked away, issued only for special jobs, and had to be returned at the end of the day. Unencrypted non registered pendrives did not work on the system. Seems quite safe to me :-) http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/graphics/icons/comment/angel_32.png

we are on O2 via Tesco, and no one here has had any problems.

The Shockwave Rider

Jon Brunner - The Shockwave Rider, as far as I know never made it to film ,but predicted life on the internet, worms, viruses and trojans decades before the existed. Oh, there is a Panther and a girl in it too :)

Failing that, I would Go with Asimov's Foundation series. Big Up to Hari Seldon
