techrecoveryAs sure as birdshit falls from the sky, we get calls from users who download everything they come across in their internet experience...despite the fact that 90% of the stuff they do violates the limited use policy we have.
Now, supposedly, people can be reprimanded or fired for this, but of course, it never happens.
Just once, I want to send a dialogue box out to every user in the state at a random time, with a lot of technical gobbleygook. At the end, it'll say, "Clicking yes on this box will terminate your employment.", and it'll have a Yes or No button.
I'm sure it'll cause a rapid reduction in these calls, at least in the short term.

Wired (http://www.wired.com) has an article concerning this. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,63345,00.html

They'll just say, and I quote, "All I did was click a button, I didn't know it'd _DO_ anything.."
And yes, I know what underscores sound like spoken out loud.
