Likewise the gubmint or a corporation bigger than mine is free to say that there should be no data on its computers or its contractors computers that they can't read.
Whoa! Unless the service contracted for includes the use of the contractors' computers, what business does the employer have poking around in someone else's computer? I can easily see Big Brother demanding exactly that, but He won't hire me under those conditions.
Or was that just a slip of the mind, assuming large organizations should have greater powers than smaller ones? I do that too much myself.
Well, no. I (and any other employer) should be able to specify that if you do work _for me, you do it on either my equipment, or on equipment configured and secured to my standards. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
