Really could use a checkbox for the 'Bag and Apple' users out there. Faster ripening times but still could use a reminder.

Probably something along the lines of "I'll drive away from the building in my new Bugatti..."
"Here in my GARAGE, just bought this new Bugatti"

If you're studying security and you think TOR will work to get you past corporate firewalls... good luck out there. Keep studying.
Thanks for the snarky remark, but I posted that post via Tor from inside the corporate firewall. In fact I mentioned that I use it the whole day. If that doesn't prove it works, I don't know what should. The whole point of the Tor network is that anyone can access the Internet through it uncensored, regardless of countries' or corporate firewalls.
Like I said, if you're going to work in security, you're going to have to consider a lot more than can it be done. Corporate security is more closely tied to HR and the business than it is IT. You can't break the rules just because it's technically possible. It would be your job to find the people who are doing exactly that and report them to HR.

Tor with a bridge on port 443 (or even 80) will get past anything that only blocks non-standard ports.
Tor also has a clever thing called "pluggable transport" that was made to solve exactly this problem.

#77I would find an avocado alert more useful but sub-second accuracy for short time before they are over ripe might prove difficult to implement.

I need a pear alert.
Since that day I've put my apples and pears in the refridgerator, and haven't had to suffer as many overripe pears and apples.

That's true. You probably can get out. Until the security team catches you, which they really, really can do. Trust me, I do it for a living. And then you're in trouble for violating the terms of your employment, and then HR gets involved, and then you are fired. Like I said, if you're going to work in security, you're going to have to consider a lot more than can it be done. Corporate security is more closely tied t…
True, I don't doubt they can if they wanted to, simply look for connections to known Tor nodes (of which there is a list). So long as I don't bother using a bridge node of course.
As for being fired, I don't think it's that strict. The company policy is aimed at blocking people from posting the company's slides on Slideshare, using icons from icon sites without a license (some icon site is also blocked) or pasting sensitive data on Pastebin by accident. As long as I don't do these things, I am not violating corporate policy, while I do need some of these sites to do my work.
If they make shitty policies that apply to the people who don't know what they are doing as well as to the people who do know what they are doing (or even need some of those sites), they can expect people to work around it. Rules are to be followed within reason. And if people are that strict, I don't want to stay in that company. Even as a student I'm asked to do work enough times that I don't doubt I could switch jobs in a matter of weeks.
