Roger Thompson Quotations

To open the second facility, she had to pay the last fine (from the Navy Boulevard location).

If they had this in place before Loveletter came out, ... it wouldn't have happened. But I think they need to think it out a little more. They broke more functionality than they needed to break.

Ideally each workstation will be capable of detecting what it thinks is a new virus. And it should be able to get a response in 30 minutes.

He's a good kid. He's been working as a laborer there for a few months now.

key to a deeper set of potential threats that can remotely run any program on your machine.

I think that expanding the zoo would be good for the city because it draws people to Des Moines.

Microsoft is making it impossible to run certain files from Outlook and we think that goes too far.

We have a lot of really special houses in this area, but I get heartburn when I see some of the bad seeds bringing everybody else down.

It's not the viruses that you attack, it's the infection method. The problem is that you have 10,000 programmers in Redmond designing for functionality and not security.

It's simply impossible for application vendors to develop instant fixes for newly discovered exploits. It takes weeks or months for application vendors to release a patch because it must be thoroughly tested to ensure it doesn't adversely affect the application or any other application that might be installed on the user's system.

But I'd rather have a grocery store there.

By code, there is nothing that says you have to call the police. But common sense says if those children have not been found immediately, the police should be contacted.
