I took the computer items from the list, also known as If I Were An Evil Overlord.
Let’s see what you can do as an Evil Web Overlord, maintaining your Web 2.0 site.
The Evil Overlord says:
<All my computer systems will have uninterruptable power supplies.>
Our interpretation:
As you most possibly would hold your website at some webhost, all you can do it is to make total account backups at least every day, but always any major change.
The Evil Overlord says:
<I will never design and build a sentient computer that is smarter than I am.>
Our interpretation:
Don’t let to put up software on your site that working you are not completely clear about.
The Evil Overlord says:
<If I have massive computer systems, I will take as least as many precautions as a small business and include such things as virus-scans, firewalls, and other common security measures.>
Our interpretation:
Always use every security measure on your own computer and on your website.
The Evil Overlord says:
<If I must have computer systems with publicly available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.>
Our interpretation: Be aware of username, password, and identity theft, an use all the employable measures. Or someone says you are paranoid, say yes, and employ the measures anyway.
The Evil Overlord says:
<My main computer will use a custom operating system incompatible with all of the more common PowerBook and laptop computer models commercially available today.>
Our interpretation:
Using Linux instead of Windows decreases any hacker problem at lest with ninety percent.
The Evil Overlord says:
<If I have massive computer systems, I will take as least as many precautions as a small business and include such things as virus-scans, firewalls, and other common security measures.>
Our interpretation:
Do the same even if you only have one laptop…
NOTES:
Jack Butler began to set up the list in 1988. Then came Peter Anspach in 1994, and he copyrighted his list.
[1] With at least ten thousand other people I can witness that Jack Butler was the first.
[2] As a writer I can say that if you copy someone else’s idea than you made a quite everyday act. But copying someone else’s idea and than “copyright” it, that’s not only ridiculous, it’s disgusting.
