Comment Slashdot To Be Banned. (Score -1, Troll) 82
Hello,
I am the CIO at a medium sized consulting firm in Miami, and while reviewing logs I've found as of late, a huge increase of traffic to this site, especially to this thread. I am new-in-position and trying to get some smart practices in place.
As of tonight I'll be removing all of Slashdot's DNS entries from my servers, and be re-directing and visitors to Human Resources, it will be a final warning if anyone so much as tries to access this webpage.
Also, I've seen an increase of attempted Tor usage; I have a list of Tor IP addresses and block them, along with monitoring anyone who tries to use it. Although attempted Tor usage isn't directed at HR...yet, the people who try and use it are watched very closely. It gives people a false sense of Security most don't know there real IP's can be traced from it.
Now, for some personal comments.
I've seen a LOT of anti-DRM stuff on this site, and it boggles my mind how self professed "nerds" are anti-DRM, it is the wave of the future, and I don't see how something the assures the artists gets paid for his or her work can be continually bashed on this site.
I don't get the Anti-Microsoft stuff either; I mandate Windows in my workplace because multiple tests have shown it cheaper to run then Linux. Plus I've made thousands off MS stock in the past few months.
Your whole privacy rants are horrid as well, the only people who argue for privacy are pedophiles, if your not doing anything wrong then what do you care who glances at your stuff?
Also, what's up with the 7-Bit ASCII? What Is this? The 90's?
