I won bar bets at a conference when the Respondus Lockdown Browser was first released and touted... all you had to do was change the user agent string in whatever browser you wanted to use.

Our nursing faculty really wanted it, I kept saying no because it took me mere moments to bypass and it would've added a ton of complexity to our computer lab environments, etc. They said "well, our students aren't like you, they are nurses not geeks", then I pointed out that they had 140-150 18-21 year old females, and our IT track department was the next building over and full of 18-21 year old males and if they doubted the two groups would intermix they could pull out the pics of the graduating class from 5 years prior and I could point out my then-girlfriend-now-wife, and all it would take is one for the word to get out and any pretense of security would evaporate.

Comment Re: The high cost of training police (Score 1) 100

As a sysadmin who could in theory lookup the admin passwords for our colleges police department, I have to do annual policy and cyber security training on accessing the NCJIS data, both the typical cyber security stuff and what that data is allowed to be accessed for. Just did my training last week, and non-appropriate access is a crime - this is not "the officer arrested the guy because he didn't know the law" stuff, this is "the officer violated the law" stuff.

Not sure how it works in Canada, but here in Florida to get a handicap permit you take a doctors note to the DMV .... Granted once you have that if HR tries to stop you from parking in a legal handicap space, that is a different issue (and not legal in US, probably not Canada)

No so much corporate, but lots of stuff with various levels of government can simply be solved by policy - simply require anything/everything related to government services to be served up from a .gov or .state.abbr.us domain name.

Why? Well, lets look at your free annual credit report that you can get. Go google/ddg/bing/whatever for "free annual credit report" like most common folk would do, and tell me which of them is the one run by the FTC and therefore sure to be legit? If you search the FTC website, you'll find it is on a .com domain - if the domain policy was in place, annualcreditreport.ftc.gov or acr.ftc.gov or whatever would be an instant indication that it is legit.
