IT Departments Are A Security Risk
stlhawkeye writes "An article at Information Week asks the question - is your IT department a security risk? The thesis of the article is that rank-and-file employees will tend to engage in dangerous/insecure/irresponsible computing and internet behavior if they know that there's an IT department to clean up the mess. 'That confidence,' says the article,'leads workers to do risky, even stupid, things at work, such as opening questionable e-mail messages or clicking on unknown Web site links.' Employee education and training doesn't help, either: '[S]ome workers slough off responsibility for even knowing about threats. Workers in larger companies don't worry about being educated. Big company employees just don't see security as their responsibility.'"
Who are you - my mom?
And I have a beef with nature, thank you very much. Every time I litter, I feel better about myself, knowing that nature will be able to hurt one less human. I like Wendy's food. And I like making mother nature my bitch.
Anyway, I don't know what fast food places you've been to, but where I've always lived, they tend to have street cleaners run through their parking lots a couple times each week (along with all the other stores and dining places along the street).
Anyway, the two biggest bodies of water near where I've lived my entire life are Johnson Creek and the Willamette River. It's not so much the spare french fries and straw wrappers as it is the overflow of human fecal matter that flows into those bodies of water every heavy rain that one should be worried about.
