Top 10 security administrators nightmares

I can't take credit for this.  It is actually from Sun's Scott McNealy's keynote speech at RSA and I saw it on Ellen Messmer's Network World security blog.

10) First line of defense is 'pull the power plug.'
9) Worn out control+alt+delete keys.
8) Wearing an orange jumpsuit for next 5 to 7 years.
7) Working in an all-Microsoft shop.
6) Laptops.
5) You're the only one who opens funnybunny.exe.
4) Company policy is root-level access control for all.
3) Blue screen of death.
2) Being told there's a patch to a patch.
1) Having a virus named in honor of you.

Even techies can be funny sometimes.  He started his speech mentioning that he was here because he had not received an invitation from Bill Gates (who spoke right before him) to go quail hunting.
