  1. Re:Fire them on Snowden Used Social Engineering To Get Classified Documents · · Score: 1

    And these people had ts security clearance - looks like a basic IQ test might be better than a polygraph and requiring at least a security+ certification to even get an interview.

    Some one senior at both the NSA and Booz Allen needs to be fired over this if you did this at any uk bank you woudl get canned on the spot certainly the CEO and Chairman of the contractor needs to fall on their sword.

  8. Re:Weak Sauce on Brazil Admits To Spying On US Diplomats After Blasting NSA Surveillance · · Score: 1

    oh yes keeping tabs on your formal interactions or building a profile on avowed diplomats is one thing but tailing! its what you do to people considered to be actual Intelligence officers to see who they contact and if they are running any illegals or other agents.

  9. Re:Passwords are property of the employer on Withhold Passwords From Your Employer, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    Even personal projects are risky if they are at all related to your work - employment law starts from the position that your employer owns your work if its related to your day job. Its how employment law (in the US and UK) descends from the original masters and servants act. The USA might (strangely) be slightly more liberal but could you afford to fight your employer in the courts.

  20. Re:Or maybe the young folks just hate meetings? on 20-Somethings Think It's OK To Text and Answer Calls In Business Meetings · · Score: 1

    I totally agree at my last job the quality of minuting of meetings was abysmal in fact my goal for the next year was to at least get people to start number minutes and action points in an organized way and not renumber the dam thigs every fracking meeting.

    And 100% agree on having a chair who knows hat they are doing and is willing and able to shut down anyone whos getting in the way. I once had to stop the founder of a company speaking at a share holder meeting as he was out of order and took the next person in the debate - in this case Citrine or Roberts is your friend
