Kinja is in read-only mode. We are working to restore service. @themadscientist: I am living on the flip side of that coin. I work in the technology department of a city, and our IT security staff is both lazy and stupid. They set up smart filter and won't unblock anything ever, even if you need it to do your job. What is filtered is arbitrary, and their main goal is to do no work. Facebook? icanhascheezburger? Google apps? YouTube? Vimeo? Evernote? Dropbox? Access to my personal web server via ftp? It's arbitrary and retarded. Try setting up a youtube channel for one of your agencies when youtube is blocked, or all of a sudden having Evernote blocked, when you've been using it for your task management for months. The part that makes it so annoying is all the stuff they're NOT doing. So if I can find workarounds for their stupidity that make it easier for me to do my job, I'm all over it.

The stereotype is that of the young college guy – a computer science major for sure – who spends his evenings and weekends writing up intricate hacking scripts to break into whatever computer system he can get his hands on. The truth is that what was once a male-dominated community is fast changing into one that includes folks – men and women – from many walks of life, from many countries and with many backgrounds. A recent CNET article about DEFCON makes note of the fact that claims of sexual harassment and unwanted advances are increasing. This isn’t because hackers are getting more obnoxious or offensive, but because more female hackers are entering into the community and trying to find a home there, only to find insulting behavior, and other actions unbecoming of a gentleman.
