Spot the flaw in my former employer's computer policy

[Orrex]

"Employees may view pictures online but may not download them to their computers."

1. I see two.

First, viewing them is technically downloading them, he/she probably meant "save" to the computer.

Second, viewing them is just as distracting as saving them, if that's the concern.

Are either of these close? :shrug:

3. The first one is correct

At least, "correct" in terms of "that's what they meant."

Their alleged complaint was that people were using too much storage space/bandwidth by downloading images. When I pointed out--as you did--that viewing them means they've already been downloaded, I was simply told to obey the policy.

2. Maybe the employer has

disabled the cache?

4. A very reasonable guess

But, as it turns out, that was not the case.

5. It says nothing about

midgets?

6. Or very light things like

pictures of helium balloons or bubbles?

7. You work for morons?
