  Were is the IT's at

  Just like any Network your have to have someone running it. What is this guy/gal doing to keep these computers from getting on the Network. Does not seem like much other then tell them not to do it, you can see how long that lasted. If your going to implement the idea to not use file sharing, that is going to hard. I see that if they let any computer hook up to the network then they could easy have there system hacked long before this happend. If they are not going to take the time to keep the network system safe then why are they complaning about the leaks. Seem like they need to go there job and not complain about there lack of quaified IT's

  This is bound to work.

  Everybody knows that people will not do bad things if you just ask. Just look at Sadam! We spent 20 years asking him to behave, and he did. That is why our war in Iraq is completely unjustified.

  Re: This is bound to work.

  "We spent 20 years asking him to behave, and he did." Saddam did no such thing. He spent from the day Gulf War I ended, until the day the US invaded in GW II thumbing his nose at the free world violating every sanction that the UN Security Council wrote (BTW, the UN was making billions, while he was at it).

  Ummm... I think someone failed to detect someone else's irony.

  Not to get too off topic, but nobody really seems to care what the orginal topic was. Was that irony or sarcasm?
  
  If you're going to rip on someone, at least rip on them for the right reason. Hey, I guess this is related to the orginal topic after all! A good example of finding the wrong root cause. Boy am I good....

  "If you're going to rip on someone, at least rip on them for the right reason."

  I think he/she did. Where did you get your education?
  
  i·ro·ny (ī'rə-nē, ī'ər-) n., pl. -nies.

  1. The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.
  2. An expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning.
  3. A literary style employing such contrasts for humorous or rhetorical effect.

  Sarcasm, by definition, is a form of irony.

  Re: Re: This is bound to work.

  you missed the sarcasm. This person wasn't serious. If you've already made up your mind that everyone else is an idiot then you will often jump to the wrong conclusion and hence end up looking like one yourself.

  Re: This is bound to work.

  Agreed!
  
  For Internet security, this already exists for traffic which complies with RFC 3514.
  
  Firewalls [CBR03], packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and the like often have difficulty distinguishing between packets that have malicious intent and those that are merely unusual. The problem is that making such determinations is hard. To solve this problem, we define a security flag, known as the "evil" bit, in the IPv4 [RFC791] header. Benign packets have this bit set to 0; those that are used for an attack will have the bit set to 1.

  Re: This is bound to work.

  You have got to be kidding me! Granted, Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction, however... to say he behaved shows a complete lack of understanding on your behalf. It was obviously NOT your mom, sisters, girlfriend or wife that was being habitually raped by his men. It was obviously NOT your family that lies in the mass graves that keep turning up. Woe be to America if you teach your children that this kind of thing is acceptable behavior.

  Re: Re: This is bound to work.

  and how do you know that the american soldiers over there aren't doing the same thing?
  
  basically, i don't fully believe anything unless i see it firsthand.
  
  the media is not exactly a trustworthy source of information, to put it delicately.

  Incompetent

  It never ceases to amaze me that despite all the sage advice of security professionals that it is the poeple in power to implement the recommendations who completely miss the point.

  Huawei Isn't Stupid

  This is one of many reasons why when you visit Huawei in China (and increasingly, other companies), you are told that no electronic devices can be brought inside, with the exception of customer meeting areas. If you are a tech, and must enter a lab for debug, your laptop ports are literally taped shut with security tape that indicates removal and re-attachment. This is of course, only after you have obtained the 5 signatures required to get your laptop through the door.
