If they need to try to Idiot-proof a system take out the "Idiot". If these companies hire more technology inclined workers (people who read/.) they they won't have this problem as often.
Maybe, but then they'd have to deal with everyone putting goatse links all over the company newsletter and sending out gay porn featuring the CEO of the company, so there's a little bit of a downside too.
On the other hand, most Slashdotters never leave the basement, so you would save on office space.
It's not being treated like an object. It's basic respect for the one you are with. I respect our (my wife and I) relationship, so I won't go out alone with a female. My wife respects our relationship, so she won't go out alone with a male. She won't get into trouble if she doesn't put herself in a situation that could lead to a problem and I won't do that to her either.
I'm a janitor/student which means I'm not making tons of cash. I don't like making errors such as purchasing a something with an enormous advertising campagn, but alas, contentless. Instead, I like to download the illegal version of... say... Halflife and then buying the legal version because it is really very good and I want to play it online. Sure, I pirate a lot, but I also spend nearly all the money I make on media. Piracy just allows me to give money to the people who actually deserve it, as oppossed to wasting my money on a bad game, album, or movie.
