- A feature in Windows XP Professional that allows the machine to be run remotely from another Windows machine over any dial-up or LAN TCP/IP connection. Remote Desktop is actually the Windows-based Terminal Server, which uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to exchange only keystrokes and screen changes. For example, you can use any Windows laptop or desktop machine from a remote location to run your office XP Professional machine as if you were sitting at your desk. PCMAG.com

Smoke Screening
In 21 states, not hiring people who smoke is perfectly legal. At Whirlpool Corp. in Evansville, Ind., 39 factory workers, all who had claimed they were non-smokers to get a $500 discount on their company health insurance, were suspended without pay after they were seen smoking outside their factory. Corporations say this is all about stopping the bleeding, since health care costs are soaring at twice the rate of inflation. But this kind of corporate interference in personal lives is raising all kinds of questions about how much information your employer has the right to know. Critics say this kind of personal interference has gone too far. They question what’s next: If you skip the sunscreen, should you be held responsible for paying the bills if you develop skin cancer? If you eat gooey candy, should you be held responsible for the dental bill when your teeth need work? On the contrary, supporters say everyone must pay the price for rising health care costs. Those with habits or lifestyles that contribute to poor health should be required to pay more. We want you to weigh in. Well, not literally. (Though don’t be surprised if your employer requires you to hop on the scale.) Tell us your thoughts on an employer’s right to know what happens outside of work. And on a happier note, Happy Mother’s Day Mommies everywhere. Do something special for yourselves and remember to speak up and be heard. |
