TIPS: Password expiration for Notes IDs Password expiration involves more work for users and for administrators (when users forget their new passwords).

In the latter case, you should strongly consider enabling password expiration for Notes IDs. Here's how to do it. TOPICS: New poll: What is the biggest threat to your messaging system?

These employees said they had either snoozed at their desk (just like George), drifted off in a meeting or entered la-la land in the loo. Breaking down the nodding off by nationality, the Irish are the most prone to sleeping on the job and the Dutch are least likely to drift off. Read the story.
