Nunya.
Nunya who?
Nunya business.
I work as a contractor for a large federal agency. Part of being a federal contractor is that we must take information security awareness training every so often.
Today, I took one of the lessons. One of the questions on the associated quiz is as follows (paraphrased):
Which of the following is considered computer abuse?
A. Reading or obtaining data that you are not authorized to access
B. Making unauthorized copies of Government-owned software
C. Using (name of agency) resources to make personal profits or conduct personal business
D. All of the above
You can only pick one answer. Your answer can only be A, or B, or C, or D.
Now obviously A and B are true. These are obviously computer abuse. This means that the answer must be D. Therefore, C must be true as well. You follow? If not read it again. It is basic test taking logic.
Indeed the correct answer is D. Ouch! Does this mean that federal employees and contractors are not allowed to use their computers or work time to make personal profits or conduct personal business? Well indeed it does mean just that.
Wow.

which is what you are doing right now? Perhaps?
Nope. Like I said, I am a contractor, not an employee. I am not using any government property or government time for this personal endeavor.
