No matter the security in place HR will find a bigger idiot to circumvent it, they either will do so from the HR candidates or outsource and hire someone for a project coordinator role...


Speaking from experience there pape?

Would I be right in saying that, even for home users, it's possible to filter internet access by MAC address even while keeping an open network?
