yeah, like in metal gear solit they threw in the one torture sequence and all it does is give you a choice of one ending or the other, the whole rest of the game is the same. You cant formulate your own strategy, you just linearly do as you're told.
A workplace requirement for communication monitoring; e.g. finance, defence, etc.
A futile maneuver that can easily be flouted by using steganography in e-mails.
A need to protect infrastructure; e.g. against viruses.
That's also futile, if they're using windows. Messenger is a tiny minor hole compared to the gaping ones in the OS itself.
A need to conserve bandwidth, or control network usage charges.
Text messaging uses negligible bandwidth, and bandwidth costs less than 1/10 of a cent in bulk, meaning that If I used IM a lot for years and years it might cost the company an extra 1/10 of a cent in bandwidth out of my $50,000+/year salary. It's a grain of sand in the sea.
All of those reasons are bunk, and would only provide justification to those who truly have their headfs up their asses.
It's easy enough to get information across without a trace even when the message is logged. If inasider traders were the least bit smart they'd use steganography.
I call BS. Instant messaging is a useful tool that has many legitimate applications in the workplace, and in any case should be acceptable to use during breaks just like a cell phone, etc. Banning IM programs just means they don't trust the employees, and it's analogous to a high school where students aren't allowed to leave the building during lunch break. That's petty.
...Yeah, jobs of useless marketers who aren't producing anything of value, just promoting products that aren't good enough to promote themselves. They're economic leeches.
Ambrosia Software, Inc. has been exclusively using this distribution model for its excellent line of mac shareware for 10 years, (somewhat) successfully. They're not exactly becoming the next microsoft, but they're not going out of business either
That little snippet completely runis the game. thank you for discouraging me from actually _buying_ software. I mean, what kind of spendthrift would do that nowadays?
the problem is that it is very difficult to prove it's punishment, moreso since he is a contracted consultant instead of a regular employee. He could just not get a new contract, which is different from getting fired.

that sorta defeats the whole idea of assembly line mass production
A short-range OC3 lease can be had for $30,000 and that sort of thing is reasonable for any IT company with over 100 employees. OC3 = 155Mbit/s
it's impossible to prove anything if they can't crack the code. And if you're good, they can't.
typo: i meant 1/10 of a cent per GB

er USES bots, sorry. But yes, the RIAA are losers ;)
the RIAA exclusively loses bots that scan the most popular p2p networks like Kazaa and gnutella. It doesn't do jack about IRC or bittorrent.
