A friend of mine is the IT director for a small company. He got tired of seeing people on facebook and forwarded all requests for that domain to an image on his own server...

.



He has, in perhaps the most literal sense ever, won the Internet. =:)

That is fantastic. If only he could make all requests for the domain from any source go to that picture, mankind could be saved.

Wow, I really don't agree with that opinion or that approach. In fact, that would cause me to leave a company. If I sit and daydream at my desk, should you come in with an airhorn and "get me back on task"?

I actually agree with you completely. One of the things I love about my company is that we're trusted to put in the hours to get the job done and take breaks responsibly when and how we want to.


...that said, I still find it hilarious. =:)

(I should also add that I didn't get the impression that this was a permanent arrangement).

That could be potentially problematic...

Brings to mind http://evilscheme.org/defcon/

Summary: At Defcon, a hacker convention, some hackers set up an unsecured wireless network and set it up so that every image that was served up through the network was replaced en route with the goatse image.

For reasons I can't even begin to describe, your icon is fantabulously appropriate.


Save your fork!

Ah, memories.


...and now I'm picturing that cat singing Memories, which is just wrong.

Well, they also displayed user/PW for email and other such things sent in the clear on the Wall of Shame. I got nailed by that once and I *worked* for BlackHat/DEFCON. ;)

There's a reason I VPN out now and sometimes go the mobile broadband route.
