Except people won't leave Facebook. With the new changes (I call it the 'stalking update 1.0'), I've been preaching to everyone on FB to move over to Google+.

Not a single person has moved. They're too comfortable on Facebook, even with the recent UI changes. They're happy to make post after post bitching about FB, the new UI, the privacy problems, but they're too lazy to DO ANYTHING about it.

Until Google+ gets a significantly larger userbase, it's not particularly useful. *sigh*

The real problem here is education. Sure, the end user has been to training (not trained though, see the difference?) on basic computer security, not to insert strange USB sticks, etc etc. But they don't LEARN.

Fire a few of them for gross violations of security policy. The people remaining will learn real quick.

Agree. According to this, I can get FIOS. No dice. They did get the cable Co right, though.

Looked up my neighborhood, and NONE of the data is correct. According to the map, I can get fiber. Nope. According to the map, I cannot get a cable modem, let alone docsis 3.0. - wrong again, thats what Im on right now.

What a complete waste of 200mil.

who do you think MAKES the laws?

I work in security, and we tried this where I work. It worked very well for most things - specifically browser pages. But there are a number of third party apps that use SSL, and they expect to see their cert in the client on the end user desktop. They check for this, and when it doesn't exist, they break. Things like stock trading clients, etc., along with some business apps for business process that we outsource. The appliance we use also gives us the option to NOT inspect HTTPS traffic banking and financial institutions.

We ended up turning off HTTPS inspection, as it was too much hassle. We lost the ability to inspect HTTPS transfers for malicious content, but we can (and do) still block based on the category of the destination domain - that blocking is still protocol independent.

for all that is holy, you (along with this thought process) are the root of the problem. lemme guess: you work in sales?

*sigh*

What really kills me is the REAL perks getting eliminated - bonuses, my whole 401k match is gone now, health insurance cost going through the roof, etc. THAT hurts my bottom line, coffee does not.

I understand that they cut the 401k match and increased the health insurance premium to try to save a few jobs - but jesus, looking at the bloat in some of the organizations here, lay off a few of them (sales, I'm looking at you. You spend ALL DAY on youtube. Yes, I can prove it), you'd think you could cut some of them, and keep the match.

3.is not a financial/medical/etc company or something that contains what one may deem as sensitive data.

PII (Personally Identifiable Information) is considered sensitive, and several states (MA and NV in particular) have strict laws on the books about protecting that information.

Granted, you GIVE that info to Facebook, mostly for the express purpose of putting it out there for others to find, but the laws are on the books.

...and that'll blow the uni off the net for a while, i think :)

Yeah, cause sitting in a 2 hour traffic jam in 90 degree heat without AC is an option.

Maybe if you are a masochist :) Sure, I know SOME people do it, *I* just don't want to.

Um, hire intelligent users? We know that isn't going to happen though. So take your password, keep it in your wallet. You don't leave that laying around, do you?

Or, have one master password (use that for your machine password), and PasswordSafe to store all your other passwords. You can remember one password, right? Even if it's slightly complex?

Security requires all parties to work together, or it's useless and easy to circumvent.

what a pedantic, arsehole reply.

Screw my karma. You sir, are a dick.
