My superiors told me the client does not care at all about the "security risks" of working offline since they hermetically seal the building from viruses by scanning any ingoing or outgoing media with computers that are themselves up to date. In any event the no internet thing is final and they don't care about any of these concerns. (I am in said test lab. I am using another linux laptop to write these posts but the macs themselves are not plugged into the internet) | |

Any reason why you tagged CCC? | |
