WSJ on "how to get fired for violating IT policies"

The Wall Street Journal offers some highly questionable advice on getting around your IT deparment's policies. You've got to love the advice on safeguarding against your data being swiped when you use a third-party site for file transfers: only use "reputable sites" (the example being "a start-up run by a former Adobe Systems Inc. executive and funded by well-known venture-capital firms") or look for the SSL icon... how about, y'know, encrypting your files with one of the no-brainer drag-and-drop encryption tools that are freely available, eh?

people I don't feel sorry for

"Waaah! Waaah! I brought my iPhone abroad and racked up a $3,000 bill!" But the bit that really makes me laugh with schaedenfreude is this statement: I'm a web developer as part of my career and I couldn't even tell you how many KB the average web page is... You know, if you design websites for a living, it's kinda important that you know how much data you can get away with stuffing down the pipe, otherwise noone will bother with your site because it's too damned slow.
