Stupid Client Quote #6237 Rate this Quote: Ara | posted 05-07-2008 | Number of Votes: 87 | Current Rating: 4.58 (This was a Govt. project for a COMPLETELY CLOSED internal system. The job was fine except the person in charge was upwards of 50 and not computer savvy, so he kept turning to this 20something wet-eared brat for ideas that were always worthless....) Client: Can your people add a login function so that our men can access the system from off-site? Me: o_O That would rather severely compromise the security of the system.... Clients young lackey: Well yes but cant you just add a password screen? Like a bank? Me: The. System. Has. No. Internet. Clients lackey: Oh. Right. Well could we make it so they could dial in from the Internet (no really thats what he said!) and then login to it from that? Me: (frustrated) Actually yes, I could do something like that, but Im fairly sure it would go down as a breach of contract, an act of treason, and a danger to national security, requiring that the three of us be hanged. Client: .... (he seemed to understand but before he could say anyting...) Clients lackey: Oh well then maybe just a screen where they can get it from the web if they have the same passwords they use here. Me: *falls over dead*
