The Wall Street Journal, on "how to get your stupid entitlement whore ass justifiably fired for deliberately damaging company property and placing internal security at risk when you fuck with things that don't belong to you"

They don't actually title it that, but it is.

They missed one: "Use SSH"

[anivair.livejournal.com]

that'll get you around a lot, but they couldn't include it in the list because it's more or less safe and unlikely to make your machine explode with spyware.

If you think that will help you, you're wrong.

I can see how "SSH to a system where you *do* have rights to install software, use that software, on that system, remotely" could be a perfectly acceptable solution in some cases. It depends what kind of policy you're trying to work around.

Really? How so?

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

No, know, they didn't miss it. See their suggestion to just add an S to your URLs and that will fix everything? That's *like* SSH, right?

I found their "look for a 'secure' icon" advice particularly fine.

Ah, but that's a legitimately secure method and as such, not allowed on this list.
