Ask Permission First

[PS2pcGAMER]

I just want to reiterate how important it is to make sure you have permission to run your DC project on computers that you do not own (like at work or school). This should be common sense, but maybe not to all.

This guy in Ohio got fired from his $60k/yr job for running SETI@Home during off hours. So is the chance really worth it? I'd hate to see someone at XS get in trouble for just trying to help out the team.

Thanks for the reminder. Always ask permission on someone elses machine in general.

I read about this a couple days ago on another forum...

"I understand his desire to search for intelligent life in outer space, because obviously he doesn't find it in the mirror in the morning," Hayes said. "I think that people can be comfortable that security has beamed this man out of our building."

I bet when this guy ^^^^ looks in the mirror he sees a giant :moon: staring back at him.

Still... ask first! And don't run it on Company servers... PERIOD! You don't want to burn up a company server!
