No More Unrestricted Internet At Work

Posted by timothy on from the near-future-scenario dept.

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. I hate you KEVIN EALY! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Klerck's real name is Kevin Ealy. He lives in Charleston North Carolina. He lived at 14 Stanhope Road, Goose Creek, South Carolina about a year ago. He might be employed somewhere in the technology/computer business, attending school, or living off his parents. He posts on www.shacknews.com very often with his username like he has no life. Kevin has a website klerck.org . He uses Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. He might look like this minus the gigantic penis of course. He enjoys photography with his Kodak(?) digital camera and is a member of an internet art club. Probably not much older than 20 or 21 and might live with his parents. He might also troll under the names of Patrick Bateman and Mr. Nutty.

    Please distribute this information in order to destroy the pathetic life of Kevin Ealy.

    If you have any further information, please reply.

    Thank you.

  2. 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....

  3. 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?
