Oh lodd, are they really that secretive where you work?
I get most of my leaks from game testers o.o;

I think it's because the actually apply all the security measurements demanded by the company we outsource from

I worked in a place that made food containers. We wore hairnets, steel toed boots, saftey glasses, and ear plugs. We had to watch films about making food, and all the sanitary pratices they go through (Remember, after you use the bathroom, be sure to scrub your fingernails and finger tips, to loosen any fecal matter YUCK!)

My Brother works for the Weather Service. They have to change their email address every month. To make it easier they would be billsquizzle01[at]noaa.gov and the next month be billsquizzle02[at]noaa.gov (no, he's not Bill Squizzle)

some security measurements are just so much for nothing XD

thats close to govement sacurity X3

it is until you find out your keycard can open ALL the doors in the building XD

roflmao XD thats their wayof sayign they trust you enough! XD

that's their way of being lazy about it XD

hmm good point X3

It gets better when you get two of them.
One for the place encompassing the place you actually work, and one for the place you work :P

OMG! you are one of 'em spies? XD

Yelp?
N..no.. I think they're highly specialized. Unlike me :P
Also less likely to walk into lamp-poles if they see a cute chubby guy:P

we have some nerdy ones XD

Double-oh-chubby ^.^

sounds like porn XD

At the place I work security on weekends the employees have to sign in their name for each key they take away, but only can do so if their name checks with the keyholder list for each room key. Then they need to sign a pass that assigns them a designated movement area, which they should better not leave if they don't want to bring us (security) on the plan. The doors are usually double locked with electric bolts...
...
And then, when I do my midnight round, every second door either has the key simply stuck outside instead of being returned, or the doors are properly locked with the neighboring room (which connects to the locked on by an open archway) being wide open.

Which shows that security systems are lazy peoples bitches.

that's the awesome thing about security in big places.
someone somewhere is making the whole system fail always XD

sometimes I feel like that there XD

no, it's weirder to carry around a symbol and a crest with you that you have to combine when you want to open the bathroom door

what?

resident evil reference

ohh, never got into them :P

We'd have to put our ID cards under a scanner for many things at the college I go to :P

are they so afraid someone will enter illegally and get free classes? XD

I use to go to game design school you had to have a key card to get in buildings hehe

are americans so afraid of people sneaking in to get free classes? XD

No no it was mostly because of the expensive stuff inside like computers and well arcade machines

makes sense XD

Heh - this is why we just had to rekey our whole building - a cleaner 'lost' a master key.

At least the new keys are smaller :)

WAHAHAHAHAHA you gotta love it XD

My work has the whole card & biometric set up too, sucks when you're in a hurry

makes you wonder why they put so much technology on this XD

NO MP3 PLAYER!? Oh COME OOOOOOOOON!!! X0

only original cd's

You never had to carry a school ID in high school? O_o

to me that sounds like "you never had to carry a special ID to enter a mall?"
My god, what kind of country has become USA that you need IDs to go to school XD

Well, it was a security thing. :x Also made it easier to keep track of library records and attendance(and they were color coded by grade, too, which was used for school spirit stuff). For the most part, tho, no one wore them unless they were gonna get caught by an admin. >P

still, it's sad XD
so, if you bring my card with you, you can fool the system about me attending school, cause you can pass both cards?

Huh? Well, they had pictures on them.

but who checks them? XD
I mean, if being present is just taken account by passing a card through the lock, you don't need to be there, just have a friend do it for you XD

Oh, out teachers check. :P Or administrators walking around the school. It's not a "you need one to get in" thing, it's a check to make sure that the people who're there should be.

I don't think I would be comfortable with that kind of control at college XD

Ya... Thankfully, my college ID is only used for my meal plan and reduced movie prices :D

cool and envy X3
I don't get reduced movie prices

I'm actually surprised that other schools didn't have them, though. O+o

well, it's a big waste of money to implement XD

When I read all these posts, I thought of three words "Philip K. Dick".

I never read his work

IF you've seen "Bladerunner", "Total Recall", "Paycheck". "Minority Report" or "A Scanner Darkly", these were all based on his work.

well, it's easy to be all paranoid of people checking everything you do, while you carry your cellphone with GPS everywhere XD

When I was in the Navy, I was on a repair ship. On the weekends, there was no one there. This was in the middle seventies. One of the crew wanted to smoke, and he said he knew the perfect place. He worked with the people that loaded and unloaded weapons. So, we all climbed through a small skuttle (a round horizontal door) that he had the key for. We went down four or five decks into a big room. I asked him what was in all the wooden crates. He said usually bombs! But it was cool, because they were all empty. Luckly, we didn't get caught, and there were no bombs that could blow up.

that's crazy XD
and I'm glad you didn't explode

I'd wager the amount of data that's stolen via testers is an itty-bitty minority.. and that the majority come from PR, marketing and public exhibitions.
Of course, its easier to make a tester job through rediculous security-hoops than to tell a high-up marketing rep to do the same thing X3

as usual XD
