Gonna do this one where I won my last 4grabs - at work using the Cisco business class service. Lol.
I saw a transparent red clack on Ebay auctioned for $365 the other day u_____u I've seen donation auctions go up that high but for greedy Ebayers.... holy heck. Whoever next posts a pic of a newly acquired one of those in the Post Your Clacks thread, I see you there big spender...
I briefly considered going into campus...but I decided I didn't want to be in my office at midnight
Yeah, I'll be doing mine from the comfort of home...not worth going into work for 5 seconds worth of sending an e-mail.
You guys should talk your IT dept into setting up a corporate VPN )
I don't think you want to do that.
A corporate VPN is different from the kind of VPN discussed in that thread. They're talking about "pirate" VPNs like HMA, Vyper, Astrill, etc used by spammers and P2P pirates. A corporate VPN simply allows me to connect to my employers network.
For instance, my company has a corporate VPN. I have a desktop system that I use at work and a laptop I take home with me. When I'm at home I can open a VPN connection to my companies network and behave as though I'm connected to the corporate LAN. I could RDP into my desktop system, access the company file server, etc. I can also access my gmail account on my work desktop and send my email from there and have the benefit of the corporate 1+ Gbps connection. For all the worlds concerned, it appears as though I'm sending email and accessing web sites through our corporate internet ... while sitting on my couch in my underwear
