How is the parent insightful?!? "If Belkin's routers shipped with this "feature" disabled, who in their right mind would turn it on?" The feature is parental controls, the problem is that Belkin redirects one http request every 8 hours.
Some parents who are not very techy might enjoy having this option. It is a shame that belkin had to advertise it this way though.
Actually at my company it is a policy because the service doesn't allow proper logging of websites. A former employee was terminated because he was warned and continued to browse using anonymizer.
His FIREWALL is being bombarded with the traffic. Monitoring has nothing to do with this. He's blocking ICMP requests and throwing them away. His ISP on the other hand is charging for all bandwidth used even though this is unwanted traffic. If it is the isp's policy to charge no matter what he is screwed otherwise, if they dont't, he might have a chance to get them to disregaurd that used bandwith.
And you know what? the software I support sucks. It's buggy and written basic no less so when a user gets some sort of data error which happens more than any of you would believe they are in the program and can do anything they want with the code. Secondly most of the people I work with are not meant for software support, they could handle working ATTBI/Comcast as teir one with a sheet of answers to questions but anytime they have to trouble shoot an error, their clueless.
If a customer calls that has a problem is curtious anybody who is helping them is going to much more helpfull. Don't start the conversation mad and yelling it just makes for painfull phone call for both sides. I know it's my job to be polite and helpful no matter how mad, angry, disgruntled the customer is but it just doesn't help the situation out.
You got behind the wheel of car, you have to take the risks of doing that. No matter what safety provisions are made there is allways going to be somebody who gets around it, drives drunk and kills. Driving isn't safe, but I don't want to live my life scared of what MIGHT happen.
This is what Micheal had to say about microsoft paying off TigerDirect:
After my expose piece on Microsoft last week, I promised one reader that I wouldn't write about Microsoft again for awhile. Unfortunately, I think I have to break my promise and here's why: As I've written about previously, the real key to desktop Linux gaining momentum is to get retailers to sell computers with Linux preinstalled. Sure, some people are smart enough to download software from our web servers then burn a CD and install it, but the majority of people want to buy a computer, plug it in and have it ready to go. Getting Linux computers onto store shelves sounds easy -- what store wouldn't want to stock computers for $200-300? (I just bought a computer for $249 and upgraded the RAM from 128MBs to 256MBs for 30 bucks and it is a solid little performer!) Consumers really want affordable computers and any retailer who stocks them sells large quantities of them. It seems like it would be an easy decision, right?
There's one additional dynamic that comes into the equation - Microsoft's money to discourage retailers who start selling large numbers of LindowsOS computers. Microsoft routinely offers financial inducements to computer companies to not carry LindowsOS computers. With $40 billion in the bank, it's an easy decision for them to use a few million dollars to block Lindows.com from major retailers. Every month that Microsoft keeps their monopoly position, it is another billion or so in profit. You've probably heard rumors of such behavior in the past and maybe you're skeptical because the tales are, not surprisingly, light on facts. So allow me to give you the facts from one such retailer to convince you.
LindowsOS computers have been available from TigerDirect, a popular mail order technology business, run by a savvy CEO, Gilbert Fiorentino. After selling thousands of LindowsOS computers in the last few months, TigerDirect describes their experience with LindowsOS in their most recent catalog, saying they have found it to be "faster, leaner, and more stable than Microsoft Windows," mentioning how "...LindowsOS never crashed, even in extreme testing situations," and then go on to say that they are "more enthusiastic about the LindowsOS than ever."
We've met with TigerDirect in the past and they've remarked what great sellers the LindowsOS computers have been for them and how they were surprised at the demand for Microsoft alternatives. However, at these same meetings, they talked to us about e-mails and phone calls from Microsoft attempting to bribe them to stop selling LindowsOS computers.
While TigerDirect has resisted Microsoft's pressures in the past, recently Microsoft has stepped up orders to their staffers to increase the financial incentives to impede LindowsOS sales at TigerDirect. At some point, Microsoft's monetary inducements become so large that it makes economic sense for just about any retailer to abandon LindowsOS - no matter how many computers they might be selling. TigerDirect is in the business to make a profit and if Microsoft will guarantee them a profit, nobody can begrudge them for taking it.
Microsoft's latest offers to TigerDirect are extremely lucrative and I wouldn't be surprised if they ultimately cave to Microsoft's pocketbook. Microsoft is giving TigerDirect unheard of discounts on Microsoft software, allowing them to sell Microsoft Windows XP for just $50 to all of their customers who have purchased LindowsOS computers. TigerDirect is paying less for some copies of Microsoft Windows XP than even the largest Microsoft customers like Dell. Besides radically discounting their software, Microsoft is agreeing to spend a lot of marketing dollars to advertise their products through TigerDirect and more specifically to past LindowsOS computer buyers. Additionally, Microsoft is paying TigerDirect to collect market research on Li

OR your company's adminstrator looks for employees using such anonamizing web sites and thus it is in violation of the corporate internet policy.
yep
