Friendly Reminder from your IT Dept

[CLTPanther]

Depends on how geeky your IT guys are. If they are good enough, they can read anything you do over their network.

True, but typically it's not economically viable to try to crack a 1024 bit SSL connection to data mine unless there's a legal reason.

It definitely isn't viable, but I have been part of some IT departments when we had that guy that always had to figure out cool ways of doing stuff, which meant using users as guinea pigs.

A co-worker of mine wants to know if it's possible to encrypt porn sites so no one will know you are looking at them. Personally, I don't care, but I told him I'd check into it for him.

That guy sounds butthurt

also sounds like a maddox wannabe.

Dear IT guy,

You should be happy that we download dumb crap, look at porn, get spyware, break things, and do other idiotic things that annoy you and seemingly make your day oh so stressful and difficult. Without all of our collective stupidity and annoyance, you would just be another giant dick in the unemployment line. Have a splendid day.

Best regards,

Everyone else

Almost 20 years ago, IBM has an internal internet. You could chat with anyone in IBM, this was called PROFS. (We also used it to send internal e-mails, schedule meetings, keep our calender and input our time sheets.)

One day, I was chatting with my girlfriend, who was also an IBMer. the next tday I went to our IT bin and there was our entire chat session printed out! (Not something you wanted to fall into the wrong hands!) After that we watched what we said to each other. (No 1-900 type chats!)
