No More Unrestricted Internet At Work

Basically what they're doing is trying to scare senior management into thinking that allowing employees unrestricted use of the net will cripple a company with viruses and lawsuits."

  1. Cable or 802.11x by swordboy · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    In my office complex, there are no less than 3 unrestricted 802.11b access points. I actually *use* these for casual surfing.

    If that doesn't work, my cable modem seems to work fine at work (same subnet).

    Dobedoobie doo....

  2. WAY WAY WAY off topic post by BadlandZ · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    ok, I KNOW this is off topic, and going to get mod'ed to -1. Please, my karma doesn't need 400 seprate -1 votes (even thought I know this will get them, I'm doing it anyway and NOT posting as an AC). Why are submitted stories ALWAYs in italics? Is it starting to give anyone else a headache tilting their head to the right to read EVER STORY on ./?

    We all know no one from SlashDot hardly ever (like 0.01% of the time) writes their own stories. Why must EVER story be in italics? IT'S LIKE TRYING TO READ USENET WHEN EVERYONE POSTS IN CAPS AND IS TO LAZY TO TURN THE CAP LOCKS OFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER.

    When quoting someone, italics is nice, but when you _know_ everything will be a quote, does EVERYTHING have to be in italics?
